CHIP-DETECTOR ASSEMBLY HAVING IMPROVED PROBE-RETENTION FEATURES

Title:

CHIP-DETECTOR ASSEMBLY HAVING IMPROVED PROBE-RETENTION FEATURES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2001036860

Kind Code:

A9

Abstract:

A chip-detector assembly has a housing (14) and a probe (12). The probe is adapted to be coupled to the housing. The chip-detector assembly also includes a locking mechanism (16) comprising a locking ring (60) and a sleeve member (62). The locking ring (60) is fixedly coupled to the housing (14), and includes a plurality of elongated tangs (66) arranged circumferentially around the ring. The sleeve member (62) is fixedly coupled to the probe (2), and includes a plurality of contact surfaces that form an outer circumference of the sleeve member. The tangs engage the sleeve-member contact surfaces when the probe is coupled to the housing. The engagement of the tangs and the contact surfaces inhibits the probe from disengaging from the housing once the probe and the housing are coupled.
