Connector, receptacle, and plug
First Claim
1. A connector comprising:
- a receptacle connectable to a conventional plug being compliant with a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) specification; and
a plug connectable to the receptacle,wherein the receptacle includesa tubular body forming a holding space that enables insertion of the conventional plug,a first recessed part forming a space that narrows heading from the holding space in an insertion direction of the plug, anda first transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a first end that is disposed to be exposed to the inserted plug, andthe plug includesan insertion part shaped to be insertable into the tubular body,a first projection projecting from the insertion part in the insertion direction, the first projection being capable of fitting into the first recessed part, anda second transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a second end that is disposed to face the first end.

Abstract
A connector includes a receptacle connectable to the conventional plug being compliant with an HDMI specification, and a plug connectable to the receptacle. The receptacle includes a tubular body forming a holding space that enables insertion of the conventional plug, a first recessed part forming a space that narrows heading from the holding space in an insertion direction of the plug, and a first transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a first end that is disposed to be exposed to the inserted plug. The plug includes an insertion part shaped to be insertable into the tubular body, a first projection that projects from the insertion part in the insertion direction and can fit into the first recessed part, and a second transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a second end that is disposed to face the first end.

5. A connector comprising:
-
a receptacle connectable to a conventional plug being compliant with a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) specification; and a plug connectable to the receptacle, wherein the receptacle includes a tubular body forming a holding space that enables insertion of the conventional plug, a pair of spring members that is respectively disposed on both ends in longitudinal direction of the tubular body inside the tubular body to have a spacing which decreases heading from an opening of the tubular body in an insertion direction of the plug in a section orthogonal to the insertion direction, the pair of spring members being deformed by the inserted conventional plug so that the spacing is increased, and a first transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a first end that is disposed to be exposed to the inserted plug, and the plug includes an insertion part shaped to be insertable into the tubular body, slopes that are respectively disposed along both sides of the insertion part to have a spacing which decreases in the insertion direction and that respectively abut against the pair of spring members during insertion into the receptacle, and a second transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a second end that is disposed to face the first end. - View Dependent Claims (6, 8, 10, 12)

14. A receptacle comprising:
-
a tubular body forming a holding space that enables insertion of a conventional plug; a pair of spring members that is respectively disposed on both ends in longitudinal direction of the tubular body inside the tubular body to have a spacing which decreases heading from an opening of the tubular body in an insertion direction of the plug in a section orthogonal to the insertion direction, the pair of spring members being deformed by the inserted conventional plug so that the spacing is increased; and a first transmission body having, as an end of an optical transmission line, a first end that is disposed to be exposed to the inserted plug. - View Dependent Claims (16)
