  • Patent number: 10122119
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a connection system comprising: a plurality of connection plugs on each of which is mounted a locking lever with two arms each one supporting a locking hook of a locking system, an assembly comprising: an electrical equipment box panel, designed to lodge an electronic circuit card, the panel comprising a plurality of openings; a plurality of adjacent sockets. According to the invention, the plurality of sockets is monobloc with the equipment panel and the sockets and the plugs are configured such that when each plug is connected to one of the sockets and locked to the latter by means of the locking lever in the position of attachment of the hooks to the locking lugs of the socket, two adjacent arms of adjacent plugs are in planar, pointlike or linear bearing against each other.

  • Patent number: 10018795
    Abstract: A plug mounted on an optical cable with one or more optical contacts each one having a tab which is deformable elastically or mounted so as to pivot relative to the rest of the contact, including: a body including a front part and a rear part; a bushing fitted around the front part with axial sliding forward, the bushing bearing a tab with an appendage extending inside the rear part, the tab of the bushing and the tab of each contact being disposed relative to each other so that when a traction force is applied to make the bushing slide around the front part, the appendage is able to bear against the tab of each contact so as to deform it elastically or make it pivot until the disconnection is produced between the contact and the converter.
