CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240347964 titled 'CONNECTOR
The abstract of the patent application describes a connector with a housing, a packing that seals an opening portion, and a cover that moves between closed and open positions to control the contact of the packing with the opening portion.
- The packing includes a lid-shaped portion that closes the opening portion when the cover is closed, and a support portion that defines a space between the lid-shaped portion and the cover when the cover is open.
- As the cover moves from open to closed position, the lid-shaped portion contacts the opening portion and is displaced towards the space, while the support portion is elastically deformed.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various types of connectors in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. - It can also be applied in medical devices, telecommunications equipment, and industrial machinery.
Problems Solved: - Ensures a secure seal between the connector and the opening portion. - Allows for easy access to the opening portion when needed.
Benefits: - Improved sealing capabilities. - Enhanced durability and longevity of the connector. - Simplified maintenance and repair processes.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by manufacturers of connectors for various industries to enhance the performance and reliability of their products.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the packing contribute to the effectiveness of the connector's sealing mechanism? 2. What materials are typically used in the construction of connectors incorporating this technology?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in connector technology and materials science to further enhance the performance of this innovative connector design.
Original Abstract Submitted
a connector includes a housing, a packing that seals an opening portion, and a cover configured to, while holding the packing, move between a closed position where the packing is pressed into contact with the opening portion and an open position where the packing is separated from the opening portion. the packing includes a lid-shaped portion that closes the opening portion when the cover is at the closed position, and a support portion that supports the lid-shaped portion so as to define a space between the lid-shaped portion and the cover when the cover is at the open position. the packing is configured such that as the cover moves from the open position to the closed position, the lid-shaped portion comes into contact with the opening portion and is displaced toward the space, and the support portion is elastically deformed as the lid-shaped portion is displaced.
