.~ Meeting contacts of coupling members forming switch contacts
DEFINITION
Classification: 200/51.12
(under subclass 51) Connector coupling devices comprised of two separable coupling members, in which one of the switch contacts is mounted in or on one of the coupling members and a cooperating switch contact is mounted in or on the complementary coupling member, said switch contacts serving also as coupling contacts of the respective members.
(1) Note. This subclass includes, for example, lamp sockets of the screw-shell type, the center contact of which may be disengaged from the center contact of the lamp base by an actuating means without disturbing the relation between the lamp and the socket.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
51.07+, for connector coupling devices wherein the circuit is opened or closed by relative movement between the coupled members without complete separation thereof.
