Abstract: Electrical waterproof coupler socket is provided with a body including housings containing contacts and openings for passage of opposing contacts of another device. A protective flap is translationally slidably mounted on the body and includes apertures arranged in a same number and manner as the openings of the body, and includes at least one blocking zone. The flap is slidable between at least one blocking position where the at least one blocking zone blocks the openings, and an opening position where the openings and apertures are superimposed, with the at least one blocking zone comprising a plane that is inclined towards the opposing surface of the flap from front-to-rear with respect to the direction in which the flap translates towards the opening position.

Abstract: Electrical connection device comprising two connection elements of which one is mobile, and which are arranged to be capable of mutually coupling and uncoupling by rotation of the mobile element in the other element and to connect or reciprocally separate the opposing contacts with which they are provided. The mobile element is a coupler socket and the other element a connector outlet. The outlet is provided with a protective element which covers the contacts of the outlet when at rest, and which is rotationally mounted therein so as to be capable of being rotationally driven by the coupler socket during coupling. The protective element comprises two flaps which can slide with respect to one another and which are each provided with at least as many openings as there are contacts in the outlet and which are arranged in the same manner.

Abstract: Selective device for electrical connection is provided with a plug with multiple contacts designed to engage with the corresponding contacts of a socket, while a safety disk and a complementary disk mounted pivotally on the socket are provided with openings designed for passage of the contacts of the plug and are arranged so as to be entrained in rotation by the plug when the latter is locked on the socket from an initial position which is locked by a locking system that is disengaged when the plug is introduced into the socket. The locking system only acts on the complementary disk while a locking mechanism is provided between the complementary disk and the safety disk in order that the safety disk can be locked in a plurality of pre-established angular positions relative to the complementary disk so that the safety disk can be given an initial position at will by acting on the locking mechanism.

Abstract: An electrical connector having a socket provided with pressure contacts. A plug is provided which is at least partially inserted in the socket. The connector is provided with a latching mechanism formed of a hook provided on the plug or socket which engages a spur provided on the socket or plug, respectively, when the plug is inserted in the socket. Either the socket or the plug, or both, are provided with at least one hump which projects from an interior surface of the plug or an exterior surface of the socket.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for preventing a reversal in the relative displacement of male and female components when these components reach a particular position. One component is adapted to be displaced by hand relative to the other component in a first direction to couple the components and in a second direction opposite from the first direction to disengage the components. A support is rigidly attached to one of the components. A stud is mounted in the support to be displaceable away from an initial position in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. A guide ramp extending parallel to the first and second directions is positioned on the other component. The ramp has an abutment surface extending perpendicular to the first direction. One of the components is first displaced in the first direction, which causes a first surface of the ramp to displace the stud perpendicular to the first direction.
