First Claim
Patent Images
1. A connector-equipped plug which has a built-in connector to be inserted into and connected to an adaptor inside a receptacle and is to be connected to the receptacle, the connector-equipped plug comprising:
- an inner housing that is located on a rear end side in an insertion direction of the connector to hold the connector and has a plurality of protrusions formed on an outer peripheral surface;
a spring that pushes the inner housing in the insertion direction; and
a tubular outer shell member that has a plurality of recesses formed in an inner peripheral surface and is inserted into the receptacle;
whereinthe connector has a tapered shape on a distal end side in the insertion direction;
the recesses are each formed such that the recess decreases gradually in width in the insertion direction and such that a bottom surface gradually approaches a central axis of the outer shell member in the insertion direction;
the inner housing is positioned in a state where only the protrusions are in contact with the outer shell member by being pushed by the spring to fit the protrusions in distal end sides in the insertion direction of the respective recesses;
the inner housing is tiltable when a force in a direction crossing a central axis of the inner housing is applied to the inner housing; and
the inner housing is structured to float at the time of movement in a direction opposite to the insertion direction.
