Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector with a male member, a female member with a bore, and slots forming spring jaws in said female member to form an electrical connection between the members, and means are provided to lock the mated parts against axial displacement. The outer end of the bore is flared diagonally outwardly and a tubular member slidable on the female member contacts the diagonally flared outer end of the bore and cams the jaws outwardly to release the parts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A connector formed with mating male and female members with means at their outer ends for connection with cable terminals, the female member having a bore and longitudinal slots extending from its inner end, the slots forming jaws, the inner faces of said bore and the outer face of the male member being of such proportions as to effect an electrical connection when the parts are mated, one of said faces having an annular slot and the other being provided with an annular rib received in said slot to lock the members against axial displacement, the outer end of said bore being flared diagonally outwardly and means for spreading the jaws outwardly to permit disengagement and comprising a tubular member slidable on and enclosing the female member and having at its forward end an internal sleeve which contacts the diagonally flared outer ends of the bore upon being moved longitudinally and cams the jaws outwardly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
A connector formed with mating male and female members with means at their outer ends for connection with cable terminals, the female member having a bore and longitudinal slots extending from its inner end, the slots forming jaws, the inner faces of said bore and the outer face of the male member being of such proportions as to effect an electrical connection when the parts are mated, one of said faces having an annular slot and the other being provided with an annular rib received in said slot to lock the members against axial displacement, the outer end of said bore being flared diagonally outwardly and means for spreading the jaws outwardly to permit disengagement and comprising a tubular member slidable on and enclosing the female member and having at its forward end an internal sleeve which contacts the diagonally flared outer ends of the bore upon being moved longitudinally and cams the jaws outwardly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The structure described in claim 1 wherein the jaws are set inwardly a sufficient distance to exert a constrictive action on the male member and improve the electrical conductivity of the connector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The structure described in claim 1 wherein the internal sleeve is formed in the same piece with the tubular member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
The structure described in claim 1 wherein the internal sleeve is separately formed and the inner end of the tubular member is rolled inwardly to form a flange limiting outward movement of the internal sleeve.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
The structure described in claim 1 wherein the annular slot is on the inner annular face of the bore and the rib is on the outer annular face of the male member. 6 The structure described in claim 5 wherein the rib has a chamfer on its outer end.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The structure described in claim 1 wherein the annular slot is on the outer face of the male member and the rib is on the inner annular face of the bore.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The structure described in claim 7 wherein the rib has a chamfer at its forward end.
