  • Patent number: 7857643
    Abstract: The XLR cable connector comprises a sliding element, by means of whose displacement between a retracted and an advanced end position, the XLR cable connector can be converted between a plug and a socket, and that has a first, a second, a third, and a fourth channel, a first, a second, and a third contact pin that are received by the first, second, and third channel of the sliding element, whereby in the retracted position of the sliding element, these contact pins project from the plug-in-side front face of the sliding element, and in the advanced end position of the sliding element, these contact pins are retracted into the channels of the sliding element.

  • Patent number: 7540753
    Abstract: Socket for alternatively creating an electrical plug-in connection having a first plug (1), especially in the form of an XLR plug, or having a second plug constructed in the form of a jack connector (7), whereby the socket comprises a locking arm (22) with a locking protrusion (23) that engages, in the plugged-in state of the first plug (1), into a locking recession (6) in the plug housing (5) of the first plug (1), and an actuation unit (24), that in an active position keeps the locking protrusion (23) disengaged from the locking recession (6) of the first plug (1). The socket also has a locking device for the jack connector (7) that comprises a locking extension (37) that in the plugged-in state of the jack connector (7) engages in a constriction (12) of the contact tip (10) of the jack connector (7), and a blocking part (38) that has a contact surface (39) that in a blocking position of the blocking part (38) rests against an opposite contact surface (40) of the socket.

  • Patent number: 7314999
    Abstract: An antikink device for an electrical cable (1) which is connected to an electrical device, in particular, an electrical connector, or an electrical appliance, and which exhibits electrical conductors (13, 14) and a cable sheath (16) that forms the outer insulation of the cable (1), is formed by an antikink segment (9) of the cable (1), over which the thickness (E) of the cable sheath (16) or the thickness (D) of an antikink layer (17) arranged within the cable sheath (16) increases in the direction toward the cable end (18) that lies nearer to the antikink segment (9).

  • Patent number: 6283804
    Abstract: The cable connector for electrical connections has a connector housing and a connector insert which is made of electrically insulating material and has contact elements, and a pull relief for the cable to be connected. This pull relief is formed by a swivel jaw. The surface of the swivel jaw cooperating with the cable is rounded in an arc-shaped manner and is formed with teeth. The swivel plane of the swivel jaw lies in or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable connector. The connector insert is formed of at least two parts, wherein the first part has a portion having the contact elements and a channel-like portion adjoining the rear side of portion, with an electrically conducting insert extending along part of the length of the channel-like portion. This electrically conducting insert extends until the portion of the first part having the contact elements to form a ground contact. The other, second part of the connector insert is connectable with the channel-like portion of the first part.
