Abstract: 9909. Trood, S., and Dale, J. H. April 26. Connexion fittings.- Relates to electric coupling or connexion fixtures of the type in which a number of connecting - plugs inserted into the fixture engage common terminal contacts connected to the mains. According to the invention, the terminal contacts 9, 10, Fig. 1, within the fixture which is shown as a chandelier fitting are arranged one within the other, the leading-in wires 17, 18 of the main circuit being connected to contacts 13, 15 on a connecting - plug 12 which, together with connecting-plugs 12a, 12<b> for the branch circuits, is inserted into the fixture so as to pass through the outer terminal contact 10 and make contact with both the terminal contacts. The plugs have ring contacts 13, which engage sockets formed in the fixed contact 10, and spring contacts 15, which press upon the inner fixed contact 9. The contacts 9, 10 are enclosed and supported by a casing 3 provided with a metal ring 4 which carries branch outlet sockets through which the branch plugs pass. The main plug is introduced through a similar socket 5, which is screwed to the casing 3, and by means of a cotter pin or other means serves to hold the whole fitting to the supporting-stem 1. The branch plugs are similarly held in place in the fitting. In order to provide switching devices the inner contact 9 is divided into two parts 26, 24, Fig. 3, engaged, respectively, by the main plug and the branch plugs. A switch 31 is provided for connecting these two parts together. By subdividing the contact 24 into parts each engaged by a branch plug, a switch may be provided for each branch circuit. Instead of cup-shaped contacts 9. 10, concentric ring contacts 39, 40 may be used, arranged between insulating-blocks 34. 35, as shown in Fig. 9. An outer casing 7 encloses the fitting.
