Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
An ignition cable connector (30, 70) adapted to engage with an apparatus connector (31) of an ignition generator (14) to form a connector assembly, said ignition cable connector comprising: an insulating body (3, 4; 32, 33; 320, 330); a nose (35; 335); and locking means (36, 37) spaced from said nose (35), said locking means being adapted to come into engagement with counter locking means (38) provided at the apparatus connector (31).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
20 words
An ignition cable connector of claim 1, wherein said locking means are provided in the form of hooks (36, 37).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
An ignition cable connector of claim 1, wherein the locking means are provided in the form of resiliently pivotable hooks (36, 37).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
An ignition cable connector according to claim 2, wherein said hooks are integrally formed, with said insulating body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
An ignition cable connector according to claim 4, wherein said insulating body comprises an insulating body lower part to which said hooks (36, 37) are connected by means of arms which extend substantially parallel to said nose (35) thus forming a recess (41), in said insulating body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
An ignition cable connector according to claim 1, wherein the insulating body forms an ignition cable connector bottom (94) adapted to abut the upper surface (96) of the apparatus connector (31) when the connector assembly is established.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
106 words
An ignition cable connector according to claim 1, wherein said nose comprises at its free or lower end pressure point cam means (60) adapted to cooperate with cam means (27, 28) of an insulating body (26) of the apparatus connector such that push effect generating means are formed, said push effect generating means making sure that short circuit contact arms (24, 25) provided in the apparatus connector will be disengaged from contacting contact pins provided in the apparatus connector (31) only if the locking of the ignition cable connector (30, 70) at the apparatus connector (31) is secured by means of said locking means (36, 37).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
An ignition cable connector according to claim 7, wherein said cam means are formed by two oppositely located cam projections (60).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
56 words
An ignition cable connector according to claim 1, wherein openings are provided in the ignition cable connector (30, 70) for the insertion of a de-locking tool (80) such that the inserted de-locking tool (80) will resiliently release the locking means (36, 37) and the ignition cable connector can be pulled out of the apparatus connector (31).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
55 words
An ignition cable connector according to claim 7, wherein the design is such that between pressure point cam (60) at the nose (35) and the pressure point cams (27) at the inner surface of the insulating body (26) a play or a distance (63) is provided in the locked condition of the ignition cable connector.
