ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cable connector wherein the hooking piece is conveniently and securely connected to connector.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional cable connector
1
is shown in FIG.
1
and generally includes a semi-circular plate
12
extending longitudinally from an end of the cable and two notches
13
are defined in an end surface which is perpendicular to the axis of the cable. A groove
15
is defined in an end edge of the semi-circular plate
12
so that a hooking piece
11
are inserted in the groove
15
with two extensions
110
extending from two longitudinal sides of the semi-circular plate
12
. A wire
14
extends from a center of the cable and is located between the two extensions
110
of the hooking piece
11
. A circuit board
3
is engaged with the two notches
13
of the connector and the two extensions
110
of the hooking piece
16
are hooked with two holes
32
defined through the circuit board
3
. The wire
14
is in contact with a contact point
31
located on a surface of the circuit board
3
. It is noted that the groove
15
is difficult to be made in the limited area of the end edge of the semi-circular plate
12
and this often results failure in production.
FIG. 2
shows another embodiment of the conventional connector
1
which has the same structure except for that the groove in
FIG. 1
is not necessary and the two extensions
120
are made to be integral with the semi-circular plate
12
. Therefore, the notches
13
hold the circuit board
3
and the two extensions
120
are hooked in the holes
32
and the wire
14
is in contact with the contact point
31
on the circuit board
3
. Nevertheless, once either one of the extensions
120
is broken, the whole connector has to be discarded.
The present invention intends to provide a connector wherein the hooking piece is pressed to be fitted into a groove defined in an inner periphery of the semi-circular plate so as to improve the shortcomings of the conventional cable connectors.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cable connector which comprises a cable with a wire extending from a center of an end of the cable. A connector is connected to the end of the cable and a semi-circular plate extends from an end of the connector. Two notches are defined in an end surface of the connector and a groove is defined in an inner periphery of the semi-circular plate. A hooking piece is pressed in the groove and two ends of the hooking piece extend perpendicularly beyond two longitudinal sides of the semi-circular plate.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
