CONNECTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240347966 titled 'CONNECTOR
The abstract describes a connector comprising a housing that can fit into a mating housing, and an assembling member attached to the housing through an assembling portion. The assembling portion consists of a press-fit groove in either the housing or the assembling member, running along the fitting direction of the housing, and a rib on the other component, extending in the same direction and press-fitted into the press-fit groove.
- Press-fit groove and rib design for secure assembly
- Groove and rib extend along fitting direction for alignment
- Components press-fitted for stability and durability
- Simplified assembly process
- Enhanced connection strength
Potential Applications: - Electrical connectors - Automotive connectors - Industrial machinery connectors
Problems Solved: - Ensures secure and stable connection - Simplifies assembly process - Prevents misalignment and disconnection
Benefits: - Improved reliability - Enhanced durability - Streamlined assembly process
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Connector Technology for Enhanced Stability and Durability" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as electronics, automotive, and manufacturing for reliable and secure connections, reducing the risk of malfunctions and improving overall product performance.
Questions about Connector Technology: 1. How does the press-fit groove and rib design improve the connector's stability? The press-fit groove and rib design ensures a secure and stable connection by aligning the components along the fitting direction, preventing misalignment and disconnection.
2. What are the potential applications of this connector technology beyond the examples provided? This connector technology can be applied in various industries where secure and reliable connections are essential, such as aerospace, telecommunications, and medical devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
a connector includes: a housing fittable to a mating housing; and an assembling member assembled to the housing via an assembling portion. the assembling portion includes: a press-fit groove arranged in one of the housing and the assembling member and extending along a fitting direction of the housing; and a rib arranged at the other of the housing and the assembling member, extending in the fitting direction of the housing, and press-fitted into the press-fit groove.
