Abstract
Abstract A socket for mounting and connecting electrical devices having pin outputs is formed of a lid and a boxed-shaped bottom part. The lid has a plurality of holes arranged in pairs for receiving pins, while the bottom part has a hollow opposite each pair of holes for receiving a connecting element formed with pairs of tongues for detachable locking contact elements inserted from the lower side of the bottom part. Between rows of pairs of holes on the top part are three holes arranged in a vertical row, opening into a recess in the bottom side of the bottom part. A shortcircuiting device insertable into the recess has a pair of contacts for receiving pins inserted through the two outermost of the three holes and a movable short-circuiting contact engageable by a pin passing through the central hole.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
Socket for mounting and connecting apparatus having pin outputs, comprising an upper part constructed as a lid and a boxshaped bottom part, in which the upper part (1) has a number of holes (5) arranged in pairs in rows for receiving the pins on the apparatus, the bottom part (2) has a hollow (11) opposite each pair of holes in the upper part, which hollow contains a connecting element (14) having tongues (16) arranged in pairs for detachable locking of contact elements insertable from the lower side of the bottom part, the upper part having between two rows of pairs of holes belonging to the same apparatus position three holes (7,8) which are situated in a row parallel to said rows of pairs of holes, the middle one (7) of the three holes receiving a control pin arranged on the apparatus and the other two holes (8) receiving pins for the supply of current to the apparatus.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
157 words
Socket for mounting and connecting apparatus having pin outputs, comprising an upper part constructed as a lid and a boxshaped bottom part, in which the upper part (1) has a number of holes (5) arranged in pairs in rows for receiving the pins on the apparatus, the bottom part (2) has a hollow (11) opposite each pair of holes in the upper part, which hollow contains a connecting element (14) having tongues (16) arranged in pairs for detachable locking of contact elements insertable from the lower side of the bottom part, the upper part having between two rows of pairs of holes belonging to the same apparatus position three holes (7,8) which are situated in a row parallel to said rows of pairs of holes, the middle one (7) of the three holes receiving a control pin arranged on the apparatus and the other two holes (8) receiving pins for the supply of current to the apparatus.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
Socket according to claim 1, in which the row of three holes (7,8) is arranged asymmetrically in relation to the adjacent two rows of pairs of holes to prevent the apparatus from being incorrectly inserted in the socket.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
Socket according to claim 1, in which in the bottom part, between two associated rows of hollows for connecting elements, is a recess for a current-feeding and short-circuiting device including means engageable with a control pin on the apparatus arranged on the socket and which was contact devices for the connection of conductors from a current source, which conductors are insertable into the device from the rear of the socket.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
78 words
Socket according to claim 1, in which the hollow for the connecting element is divided by a flange extending upward from the lower edge of the bottom part to control the contact element, said flange being parallel to the rows of pairs of holes and arranged between two such rows of holes and the height of the flange is approximately half the distance between the lower edge of the bottom part and the upper edge of the hollow.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
Socket according to claim 1, in which the connecting element is common for contact elements inserted in one pair of holes consisting of contact pins and contact sockets, the connecting element providing holding members for two associated contact elements and also forming a connecting member between contact elements belonging to two different holes of the pairs of holes.
