Title:

CAR BATTERY PLUG

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/009351

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A car battery plug which can be inserted into and connected to either cigar lighter socket regardless of their bore diameter sizes with an appropriate holding force without adjusting the protruded amount of a plate spring contacting piece (17) in advance in accordance with the bore diameter of the cigar lighter socket. On the side face of a slider (25) which slides in a plug housing (2), stepwise first and second stages (25a and 25b) and a slope are formed. When the contacting position where the folded end section of the piece (17) comes into contact with the slider (25) is on the first stage (25a), the contacting section (17a) of the piece (17) is largely protruded from an opening hole (19) and inserted into the large-diameter cigar lighter socket (111). When the car battery plug is inserted into the small-diameter cigar lighter socket (112), the contacting piece (17) is bent inward and comes into contact with the slope and the slider (25) slides, with the sliding position of the slider (25) being moved to the second stage (25b) from the first stage (25a). When the contacting position is on the second stage (25b), the contacting section (17a) is retreated inward and inserted into the small-diameter cigar lighter socket (112). Since the sliding position is usually maintained on the first stage (25a) by means of a coil spring (29), the car battery plug can be connected to either cigar lighter socket unconsciously of the bore diameter of the socket.
