DEFINITION

Classification: 439/616

Having bayonet-coupling contact:

(under subclass 611) Electrical connector wherein the connector carried by the glasslike body forms a coupling part* specially adapted to mate or interengage with a complementary counterpart*, so that a readily separable electrical joint may be formed, and wherein the coupling part either (a) carries a contact* which itself extends or which has a pin or projection thereon which extends radially of the longitudinal axis along which the coupling part is intended to be coupled to its counterpart, or (b) has an abutment extending circumferentially about the longitudinal axis along which the coupling part is intended to be coupled to its counterpart, and wherein the coupling part and its

counterpart are retained in coupled relationship either by the radially extending pin or projection on the contact, being received behind the circumferentially extending abutment, the engaging motion being first along the longitudinal coupling axis and then a partial turning about the said coupling axis.
