Abstract

Abstract For electrically connecting the bus line from a machine to an IC mounting seat of the electric control circuit of another machine, a cable connector is disclosed comprising a plug seat, an upper cover and a terminal assembly fastened therebetween. The plug seat further comprises an elongated locating seat having a plurality of grooves alternatively vertically disposed at two opposite sides and obliquely aligned with two rows of mounting slots at the two opposite sides thereof for holding the connecting racks of the terminal assembly in place when the contact ends of the terminal assembly are fastened in the mounting slots, as such the bus line at one end of a cable from a machine can be accurately fastened in place and electrically connected to the connecting racks of the terminal assembly, thus, providing for further electric connection to the IC mounting seat of an electric control circuit of another machine through the plug seat.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 390 words
A cable connector, comprising a plug seat for mounting in an IC mounting seat of an electric control circuit of a machine, an upper cover connected to said plug seat at the top, and a terminal assembly fastened therebetween for connection thereto of a bus line from another machine; said plug seat comprising a plurality of plug pins at two opposite sides for fastening in a plurality of plug holes made on said IC mounting seat, two brackets at two opposite ends, said brackets having each a plurality of parallel recesses at an inner side, two rows of mounting slots at two opposite sides within said plug pins, an elongated locating seat at a top portion middle, said locating seat having a plurality of grooves alternatively vertically disposed at two opposite sides and obliquely aligned with said mounting slots, and a row of projecting strips longitudinally disposed at a top portion between said locating seat and one of said two rows of mounting slots; said upper cover comprising a large face plate, two opposite end walls at two opposite ends, a shorter side wall at one side and a longer side wall at an opposite side, said face plate having a plurality of posts extending downward therefrom at two opposite ends, said end walls having each a plurality of projecting blocks respectively disposed at lower, middle and upper positions; said terminal assembly comprising a plurality of contact ends respectively obliquely curvilinearly extending downward from a plurality of connecting racks; and wherein said contact ends of said terminal assembly are respectively fastened in said mounting slots, said connecting racks of said terminal assembly are respectively vertically fastened in said grooves of said locating seat, the projecting blocks at lower and middle positions on said end walls of said upper cover are respectively fastened in said parallel recesses of said brackets of said plug seat to define a bus line mounting hole between the bottom edge of said shorter side wall of said upper cover and a top edge of said connecting racks of said terminal assembly for mounting a bus line in the space defined within said posts of said face plate, permitting said connecting racks of said terminal assembly to be further squeezed by said upper cover to respectively pierce in said bus line and electrically connect the conductors thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 390 words
A cable connector, comprising a plug seat for mounting in an IC mounting seat of an electric control circuit of a machine, an upper cover connected to said plug seat at the top, and a terminal assembly fastened therebetween for connection thereto of a bus line from another machine; said plug seat comprising a plurality of plug pins at two opposite sides for fastening in a plurality of plug holes made on said IC mounting seat, two brackets at two opposite ends, said brackets having each a plurality of parallel recesses at an inner side, two rows of mounting slots at two opposite sides within said plug pins, an elongated locating seat at a top portion middle, said locating seat having a plurality of grooves alternatively vertically disposed at two opposite sides and obliquely aligned with said mounting slots, and a row of projecting strips longitudinally disposed at a top portion between said locating seat and one of said two rows of mounting slots; said upper cover comprising a large face plate, two opposite end walls at two opposite ends, a shorter side wall at one side and a longer side wall at an opposite side, said face plate having a plurality of posts extending downward therefrom at two opposite ends, said end walls having each a plurality of projecting blocks respectively disposed at lower, middle and upper positions; said terminal assembly comprising a plurality of contact ends respectively obliquely curvilinearly extending downward from a plurality of connecting racks; and wherein said contact ends of said terminal assembly are respectively fastened in said mounting slots, said connecting racks of said terminal assembly are respectively vertically fastened in said grooves of said locating seat, the projecting blocks at lower and middle positions on said end walls of said upper cover are respectively fastened in said parallel recesses of said brackets of said plug seat to define a bus line mounting hole between the bottom edge of said shorter side wall of said upper cover and a top edge of said connecting racks of said terminal assembly for mounting a bus line in the space defined within said posts of said face plate, permitting said connecting racks of said terminal assembly to be further squeezed by said upper cover to respectively pierce in said bus line and electrically connect the conductors thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 52 words
The cable connector of claim 1, wherein said face plate of said upper cover has a plurality of grooves on an inner bottom of said face plate and at locations corresponding to the grooves on the two opposite sides of said locating seat for holding said connecting racks of said terminal assembly.
