1 Claim. (01. 173-332) This invention relates to an electrical connecter a removable pin, such as I0, may be inserted at whereby an electrical connection may be readily the time the facing sides of the sections 2, 2, made or broken. are brought together, thus preventing any slid- The prime object of the invention is to proing of the sections 2, 2, when the key 8 is in place vide novel means whereby the sections of the in the dove-tailed grooves I. The key 8 has an 5 shell, or housing, enclosing the contacts may be opening II therethrough and the applance cord securely held together when in use, or separated has a coil spring I2 therearound, adjacent the for access to the interior of the housing, or shell. connecter, whose end is extended inwardly into With the above and other objects in View, the the shell, or housing, and is overturned forming invention has particular relation to certain novel the catch I3 which engages in the opening II 10 features of construction, arrangement of parts, of the key to secure the key in place. The secand use, an example of which is given in this tions 2, 2, will thus be firmly and securely locked specification and illustrated in the accompanying together. drawing, wherein: The sections 2, 2, have the aligned, elongated 5 Figure 1 shows a side view of the connecter. openings I4, I4, which also align with the open- Figure 2 shows an interior view of the coning I I, and when it is desired to remove the key necter, one section of the shell, or housing, being to separate the sections, an implement, such as removed. I5, may be inserted through one of the openings Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the assem- I4, and through the opening II, and the catch I3 bled connecter taken on the line 33 of Figure 2. depressed outwardly clear of the key into the 20 Figure 4 shows an end view of the assembled channels I6, I6, of the dove-tailed grooves I,
connecter. and another implement, as Il, may then be in- Figure 5 shows an end view of one section of serted into the shell, or housing, against the inthe shell, or housing, and ner end of the key, and the key forced outwardly Fi 6 h w a p p iv vi w f the k y one-half the length of the elongated openings in 25 p y so as to carry the opening II out of alignment In the drawing, the numeral l designates the with the catch |3, and the implement 5 may Shell, or housing as a Whole which is composed then be removed and the key 8 forced on out so of similar sections 2, 2, which are complementary that the sections may be Separated for repairs or and adapted to be fitted together to enclose the other desired purposes electrical connections therein. In the housing The drawing and dscription disclose what is are the contacts Wlth whlch the Wmng now considered to be a preferred form of the inof the appliance cord 5 is connected. The free Vention by Way of illustration only While the end of the housing has the openings 5, 6, to receive the connecting posts which are to be broad principle of the invention W111 be defined 35 brought into electrical contact with the conby the appended 0131mt t 3 What I claim is:
The facing sides of the sections 2 have the dove- A connecter formed of Complemental Sections tailed groves l, 1, to receive the key 8 which is pted to fit together to orm a ou a y shaped to dove-tail into said grooves, whereby the between said sections, said sections and the key 40 sections are fastened securely together. At the being PrOVided With dove-tailed mortise and present time, th section of a connecter of this tenon connections whereby said sections are held character are usually maintained together by to Sa d y having an opening therebolts and nuts, or by spring clips, which are 11- through, a yieldable catch within the housing and able to become loose and drop out and become engageable in said openings to maintain the key 45 lost, or, more dangerously, are liable to fall upon against displacement said connecter having a the connecting posts of appliances while they are catch receiving space within the housing and in use, thereby causing ashort circuit. aligned with the catch to permit retraction of The facing sides of the sections 2, 2, also have the catch. the aligned recesses 9, 9, into either two of which LAWSON R.
