Patent ID: 7422478

Claim:
An electric angled plug-in connector comprising an insulating body provided with electric contacts, which in a working position is arranged in a first angled limb of the plug-in connector, with one or more electric wires extending to a consumer or a power source through a second angled limb, and two faces of the angled limbs adjacent in an angled area are arranged diagonal and essentially mitered in an area of an exterior median line and are connected to each other at least in a working position in an articulated or detachable manner, for fixing the working position of the two angled limbs, at least one cavity is provided on the first angled limb comprising a retaining element with a recess, and at the second angled limb a seat or guide is provided that is a continuation of the cavity of the retaining element in a closed position, and a common coupling element extends around an exterior of the second angled limb and in order to fix the working position of the two angled limbs to each other at the seat or guide, the common coupling element is mounted, moved into, pushed into, or inserted in the recess, blocking a relative motion or pivoting of the angled limbs relative to one another, the retaining element with the recess on the first angled limb comprises a recessed groove that opens toward the outside, which at an end region, opposite to the other angled limb is unprovided with a recess or has a declining stop, the recessed groove extends coaxially in reference to a longitudinal central axis or approximately in a longitudinal central plane of the angled limb, and at the second angled limb the seat or guide comprises an at least partially curved or arc-shaped groove that follows a contour of the cross-section of the angled limb, which continues the recessed groove in the working position of the two angled limbs, and the coupling element at ends thereof includes stop catches or widened sections facing inward, which in the working position fit into the recess or behind the recess of the recessed groove, and on the first angled limb the retaining element comprises two opposing, mirror-symmetrically arranged retaining elements that are symmetric in reference to a longitudinal center, and the seat or guide extending from the other angled limb over a part of a circumference thereof continues to the recesses of the two retaining elements, and the coupling element has two limbs fitting into the retaining elements and the recesses thereof.
