Abstract
The connector device includes a first member which is engageable with a second member; one of the members having a plurality of receiving contacts and the other having a plurality of engaging contacts. The two members are positioned when engaged during actuation so that selected ones of the receiving and engaging contacts interengage while other selected ones are not. In one embodiment the receiving contacts and the engaging contacts are aligned during interengagement of the two members but they are set such that they do not interengage or they may be set so that they do interengage. The variation of the setting may be accomplished by the threadable adjustment of a telescopic portion of one of the contacts or by the positioning of the two engageable members in a manner such that only selected contacts are engaged. The contacts may be adjusted before the two members are interengaged and any number of contacting arrangements may be effected by the adjustment. The connection of the receiving contacts may be to a plurality of separate circuits and each engaging contact may be set and reset in respect to the receiving contact so that one or more selected circuits are interconnected when the two members are interengaged.
