RUGGED PLUG AND UNPLUGGING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022022 titled 'RUGGED PLUG AND UNPLUGGING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application is for a rugged plug with a connector, an elastic inner sheath, and a slidable rigid sheath. The connector has a coupling end and is sleeved by the elastic inner sheath. The elastic inner sheath has an elastic arm with a hook protruding from one side. The hook has a curved surface at its tip, and the elastic arm has an actuating slope. The slidable rigid sheath sleeves the elastic inner sheath and covers the actuating slope. The hook is located outside the slidable rigid sheath, and the slidable rigid sheath has an actuating structure that abuts against the actuating slope.

  • The patent application describes a rugged plug design with a connector, elastic inner sheath, and slidable rigid sheath.
  • The elastic inner sheath sleeves the connector and has a hook protruding from one side.
  • The hook has a curved surface at its tip, and the elastic arm has an actuating slope.
  • The slidable rigid sheath sleeves the elastic inner sheath and covers the actuating slope.
  • The hook is located outside the slidable rigid sheath, and the slidable rigid sheath has an actuating structure that abuts against the actuating slope.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Rugged plugs for electronic devices or industrial equipment
  • Connectors for outdoor or harsh environment applications
  • Secure and durable connections in challenging conditions

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Protection of connectors from external elements and physical damage
  • Secure attachment of the plug in rugged environments
  • Easy and reliable actuation of the plug without compromising its ruggedness

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced durability and ruggedness of the plug
  • Improved protection of connectors from environmental factors
  • Easy and efficient connection and disconnection process in challenging conditions


Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure is directed to a rugged plug having a connector, an elastic inner sheath and a slidable rigid sheath. the connector has a coupling end. the elastic inner sheath sleeves the connector. the elastic inner sheath has an elastic arm, and a hook is protruded from one lateral side of the elastic arm. the hook protrudes from the side of the elastic inner sheath and a tip of the hook is a curved surface, an actuating slope is defined on the elastic arm, and a direction normal to the actuating slope is biased toward the coupling end of the connector. the slidable rigid sheath movably sleeves the elastic inner sheath, the slidable rigid sheath cover the actuating slope and the hook is located outside the slidable rigid sheath, the slidable rigid sheath has an actuating structure and the actuating structure abuts against the actuating slope.
