Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a plug-in connector (1) for connection to a firing element receptacle (2), having a plug adapter (3), locking arms (4) and a plug body (5), the plug body having in a cable-receiving groove, which has teeth (10), a connecting cable (6) which is connected to contacts (7, 8), and having a housing cover (11), which rests on the upper side of the plug body (5). The fastening of the housing cover (11) on the upper side of the plug body (5) takes place by means of lateral and rear fastening lugs (12, 13), which extend downwards from the cover (11), the rear fastening lugs (13) being clipped into by detents (14), which are arranged on U-shaped flexible legs (15), which in turn are arranged in the vicinity of the cable-receiving groove (9) on the plug body (5).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 139 words
Plug-in connector (1) for connection to a firing element receptacle (2), having a plug adapter (3), locking arms (4) and a plug body (5), the plug body having in a cable-receiving groove, which has teeth (10), a connecting cable (6) which is connected to contacts (7, 8), and having a housing cover (11), which rests on the upper side of the plug body (5), characterized in that the fastening of the housing cover (11) on the upper side of the plug body (5) takes place by means of lateral and rear fastening lugs (12, 13), which extend downwards from the cover (11), the rear fastening lugs (13) being clipped into by detents (14), which are arranged on in-shaped flexible legs (15), which in turn are arranged in the vicinity of the cable-receiving groove (9) on the plug body (5).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 75 words
Plug-in connector according to Claim 1, characterized in that the U-shaped flexible legs are arranged with the bent part upwards and have a first straight leg (16), the free end of which is connected to the plug body (5) at its bottom, having a curved region (17), which extends to the upper side of the plug body (5) and a second straight leg (18), at the free end of which the detent (14) is arranged.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 64 words
Plug-in connector according to Claim 2, characterized in that the underside of the cover (11) has U-shaped profiles (19), which are shaped to complement the second straight leg (18) and at least part of the curved part (17) of the U-shaped flexible leg, so that these profiles receive the flexible legs and the rear fastening lugs of the cover represent part of these profiles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 53 words
Plug-in connector according to one of Claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the lateral fastening lugs (12) have bevelled sides, which engage in correspondingly bevelled recesses (22) in the plug body (5) and have fastening detents (23), which clip into fastening grooves (24) at the lower end of the angled-off recesses (22).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 80 words
Plug-in connector according to one of Claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the plug body (5) and the cover (11) are provided with openings (25, 26, 27, 28), which are shaped in such a way that they receive secondary locking arms (29, 30), which in the state in which they are inserted into the plug body (5) lie between the plug adapter (3) and the locking arms (4), in order to fix the locking arms in this vertical position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 51 words
Plug-in connector according to Claim 5, characterized in that at least one of the secondary locking arms is provided with an arm attachment (31), which is shaped in such a way that it removes a jumpering clip (32) from at least one contact pin (33) in the firing element receptacle (2).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
Plug-in connector according to Claim 6, characterized in that the arm attachment (31) extends transversely to the locking arm on which it is arranged.
