#CMT# #/CMT# The assembly has a male connector (1) with an interlocking body (10) and an electric contact at the body`s head. An annular locking groove (16) is arranged at a distance from the head. An electrically conducting contact unit is arranged in the groove and connected to an electric conductor (18). A female connector (2) has a reception body (20) with an interlocking chamber to receive the body (10), an electric contact cooperating with the contact, and a locking unit with conducting elements (28), cooperating with the unit and connected to an electric conductor (27). #CMT# : #/CMT# The electric contacts of the male and female connectors are connected to electric conductors (15, 23), respectively. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a male connector to be cooperated with a female connector (2) a female connector to be cooperated with a male connector. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for connecting a male connector connected to a heating element of an electric heater and a female connector connected to a power supply and control unit of the heater, to connect the element and the unit. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The conducting elements of the locking unit of the female connector cooperate with the electrically conducting contact unit of the male connector and the electric contact of the female connector cooperates with the electric contact of the male connector, thus ensuring reliable connection between the conductors in a single operation to associate the male and female connectors to different heating elements and power supply and control units. The locking of the assembly supports, without disintegrating it, a traction force, hence facilitating the installation and adjustment of the relative position of the heating element and power supply and control unit associated to the male and female connectors. The male connector can be disintegrated from the female connector without disintegration, by exerting a large force such that the locking is reversible. The connectors do not permit the connection of the heating element on a supply of insufficient power while permitting the connection on a supply presenting power equal or greater than that required for supplying the heating element. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a partial section of male and female connectors interlocked with each other to form an electric connection assembly. 1 : Male connector 2 : Female connector 10 : Interlocking body 15, 18, 23, 27 : Electric conductors 16 : Annular locking groove 20 : Reception body 28 : Conducting elements. |
