Abstract

Abstract A high-voltage connector for use on a device such as a flyback transformer or the like has a high-voltage lead wire having a metal cap fixed to one end thereof, and a connector sleeve on the body of the device, having a bore for receiving the high-voltage lead wire. The connector sleeve is provided therein with stopper claws for retaining the metal cap against withdrawal of the high-voltage lead wire, thereby retaining the high-voltage lead wire in the connector sleeve. The high-voltage connector further has a cylindrical disengaging member having a bore receiving the high-tension lead wire. The disengaging member includes a pair of cylindrical members having opposing ends forming an interdigitating portion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 76 words
A connector comprising: a lead wire having a cap fixed to one end thereof; a connector sleeve for receiving said lead wire, said connector sleeve being provided therein with biased protrusions for retaining said cap against withdrawal of said lead wire, thereby retaining said lead wire in said connector sleeve; and a disengaging member having a bore receiving said lead wire, said disengaging member including a pair of members having opposing ends forming an interdigitating portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 76 words
A connector comprising: a lead wire having a cap fixed to one end thereof; a connector sleeve for receiving said lead wire, said connector sleeve being provided therein with biased protrusions for retaining said cap against withdrawal of said lead wire, thereby retaining said lead wire in said connector sleeve; and a disengaging member having a bore receiving said lead wire, said disengaging member including a pair of members having opposing ends forming an interdigitating portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
The connector of claim 1 wherein said pair of members are rotatable relative to one another such that said interdigitating portion has a meshed state and an abutting state.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 52 words
The connector of claim 2, wherein said disengaging member has a length which is less than or equal to a distance between an insertion end of said bore and a portion of said biased protrusions closest to said insertion end of said bore when said interdigitating portion is in said meshed state.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 52 words
The connector of claim 2, wherein said disengaging member has a length which is greater than or equal to a distance between an insertion end of said bore and a portion of said biased protrusions furthest from said insertion end of said bore when said interdigitating portion is in said abutting state.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 17 words
The connector of claim 1 further comprising a flange connected to one of said pair of members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 12 words
The connector of claim 1 wherein said biased protrusions are stopper claws.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 15 words
The connector of claim 1 wherein said connector sleeve is formed of an incombustible material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 83 words
A connector comprising: a connector sleeve for receiving a cap connected to a wire, said connector sleeve being provided therein with protrusions biased to retain said cap against withdrawal thereof, thereby retaining said wire in said sleeve; and disengaging means for forcing said protrusions away from said cap to allow removal of said wire from said sleeve, including means for rotatably adjusting a length thereof to extend the disengaging means so as to contact said protrusions to disengage said protrusions from said cap.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 83 words
A connector comprising: a connector sleeve for receiving a cap connected to a wire, said connector sleeve being provided therein with protrusions biased to retain said cap against withdrawal thereof, thereby retaining said wire in said sleeve; and disengaging means for forcing said protrusions away from said cap to allow removal of said wire from said sleeve, including means for rotatably adjusting a length thereof to extend the disengaging means so as to contact said protrusions to disengage said protrusions from said cap.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 31 words
The connector of claim 8, wherein said disengaging means further comprises two members which have alternating extensions and recesses allowing the two members to abut in a meshed or unmeshed state.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 16 words
The connector of claim 7 further comprising a flange connected to one of said two members.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 11 words
The connector of claim 8 wherein said protrusions are stopper claws.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 15 words
The connector of claim 8 wherein said connector sleeve is formed of an incombustible material.
