Magnetic electrical coupling

Claim 1

AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR OF THE TWO-PART TYPE, COMPRISING A FIRST CONNECTOR FITTING HAVING A TUBULAR BODY PORTION, AN OUTWARDLY DIRECTED CONTACT PLATE CARRIED BY SAID TUBULAR BODY PORTION, SAID CONTACT PLATE BEING OF NONCONDUCTIVE MATERIAL AND HAVING A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED CURRENT CARRYING FIRST CONTACTS EXTENDING THERETHROUGH, A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED SECOND CONTACTS POSITIONED INWARDLY OF SAID CONTACT PLATE, EACH OF SAID SECOND CONTACTS BEING IN SUBSTANTIAL ALIGNMENT WITH ONE OF SAID FIRST CONTACT PLATE AND BEING MOVABLE TOWARD AND AWAY FROM SAID CONTACT PLATE INTO AND OUT OF ENGAGEMENT WITH ITS CORRESPONDING FIRST CONTACT, EACH OF SAID SECOND CONTACTS BEING ADAPTED TO BE CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR, A FIRST MAGNET IN SAID TUBULAR BODY PORTION DISPOSED INWARDLY OF SAID PLURALITY OF SAID SECOND CONTACTS AND MOVABLE TOWARD AND AWAY FROM SAID CONTACT PLATE, SAID SECOND CONTACTS BEING BETWEEN SAID FIRST MAGNET AND SAID CONTACT PLATE, WHEREBY WHEN SAID MAGNET IS MOVED TOWARD SAID CONTACT PLATE, SAID SECOND CONTACTS WILL BE MOVED INTO ELECTRICAL ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID FIRST CONTACTS TO ENERGIZE THE SAME, SAID FIRST MAGNET HAVING ITS MAGNETIC AXIS EXTENDING TRANSVERSELY OF THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF SAID SECOND CONTACTS AND SAID FIRST MAGNET, A SECOND CONNECTOR FITTING ENGAGEABLE WITH THE CONTACT PLATE OF SAID FIRST FITTING, SAID SECOND CONNECTOR FITTING HAVING A PLURALITY OF EXPOSED CONTACTS POSITIONED FOR ELECTRICAL ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID FIRST CONTACTS WHEN SAID FITTINGS ARE ENGAGED, A SECOND MAGNET CARRIED BY SAID SECOND CONNECTOR FITTING, SAID SECOND MAGNET HAVING ITS MAGNETIC AXIS DISPOSED SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE MAGNETIC AXIS OF SAID FIRST MAGNET, AND MEANS FOR PREVENTING THE ROTATION OF EACH OF SAID MAGNETS RELATIVE TO ITS RESPECTIVE FITTING.
