Abstract

A fixture for an electrical device includes a pin casing, a spring, a ring block and a pin. A pin casing has a trough formed from a bottom and a round-wall for containing spring and ring block. The round-wall forms at least a flange to limit ring block inside pin casing. The pin has a press portion and a wedge portion. The wedge portion passes through ring block, spring and pin casing so as to combine those together. The press portion is used for pushing the ring block to compress the spring.

Claims

1. A fixture for an electrical device comprising:

a pin casing having a bottom and a round-wall forming a trough, the bottom having a first through hole, and the round-wall having at least one flange;

a spring located in the trough of the pin casing;

a ring block having a second through hole, the ring block is positioned and held within the pin casing by the at least one flange of the pin casing; and

a pin having a press portion and a wedge portion, wherein the wedge portion of the pin passes through the second through hole of the ring block, the spring and the first through hole of the pin casing, such that the press portion engages the ring block to compress the spring to stably position an electrical device between the pin casing and the wedge portion of the pin.

2. The fixture according to claim 1, wherein a gap is formed on each of two sides of the flange of the round-wall of the pin casing respectively.

3. The fixture according to claim 1, wherein the ring block is connected to the pin.

4. The fixture according to claim 1, wherein the wedge portion of the pin has an arrow shape with two opposing inclinations.

5. A fixture for an electrical device in accordance with claim 4, wherein the wedge portion of the pin forms at least a groove to elasticize the inclinations.

6. A The fixture according to claim 1, wherein the spring is a helical compression spring.

7. The fixture according to claim 1, wherein the spring is a conical compression spring.
