XLR CABLE CONNECTOR
First Claim
1. XLR cable connector comprisinga sliding element (2) by means of whose displacement between a retracted and advanced end position, the XLR cable connector can be converted between a plug to connect with an XLR connector constructed as a plug socket (21) and a plug socket to connect with an XLR connector constructed as a plug (19), and that has a first, a second, a third, and a fourth channel (3, 4, 5, 6), which lead to a plug-in-side front face (7) of the sliding element (2) at the corners of an imaginary square, whereby the first and the second channels (3, 4) lie at diagonally opposing corners and the third and fourth channels (5, 6) lie at diagonally opposing corners of the square,a first, a second, and a third contact pin (9, 10, 11) that are accommodated by a first, second, and third channel (3, 4, 5) of the sliding element (2), whereby in the retracted position of the sliding element (2), these contact pins (9, 10, 11) project from the plug-in-side front face (7) of the sliding element (2) and the XLR cable connector with these contact pins (9, 10, 11) can be inserted into contact tubes (20) of the plug socket (21), and in the advanced end position of the sliding element (2), these contact pins (9, 10, 11) are retracted into the channels (3, 4, 5) of the sliding element (2) and that there are sections of these channels (3, 4, 5) located on the plug-in-side of the free ends (12) of the contact pins (9, 10, 11), anda first, a second, and a third socket contact (15, 16, 17), of which the first and the second socket contacts (15, 16) are arranged in the first and second channels (3, 4) and the third socket contact (17) is arranged in the fourth channel (6), whereby in the advanced end position of the sliding element (2), the socket contacts (15, 16, 17) can be contacted by the contact pins (18) of the plug (19) that are inserted into the first, second, and fourth channel (3, 4, 6) of the sliding element (2).

Abstract
The XLR cable connector comprises a sliding element (2), by means of whose displacement between a retracted and an advanced end position, the XLR cable connector can be converted between a plug and a socket, and that has a first, a second, a third, and a fourth channel (3, 4, 5, 6), a first, a second, and a third contact pin (9, 10, 11) that are received by the first, second, and third channel (3, 4, 5) of the sliding element (2), whereby in the retracted position of the sliding element (2), these contact pins (9, 101, 11) project from the plug-in-side front face (7) of the sliding element (2) and the XLR cable connector with its contact pins (9, 10, 11) can be plugged into contact tubes (20) of a socket (21), and in the advanced end position of the sliding element (2), these contact pins (9, 10, 11) are retracted into the channels (3, 4, 5) of the sliding element (2) and sections of these channels (3, 4, 5) are located on the plug-in-side of the free ends (12) of the contact pins (9, 101, 11), a first, a second, and a third socket contact (15, 16, 17), of which the first and the second socket contacts (15, 16) are arranged in the first and second channel (3, 4) and the third socket contact (17) is arranged in the fourth channel (6), whereby in the advanced end position of the sliding element (2), the socket contacts (15, 16, 17) can be contacted by contact pins (18) of a plug (19) that are inserted into the first, second, and fourth channel (3, 4, 6) of the sliding element (2).

14. XLR cable connector according to claim 14, whereby the at least one detent (33) can be radially displaced in a direction to the longitudinal axis (28) of the XLR cable connector by means of an actuating piece (37) of the operating element (27) through the opening (29) through the sleeve element (1) to open the engage-connection to the plug (19).
