Definitions

  • the present application relates to an improvement of this device consisting in placing in the support not two conductive blades but cylindrical conductive pads, themselves carried by a blade.
  • the device according to document EP-A 0109876 comprises a hollow profile 1, acting as a rail serving as a support for a plurality of sockets 2 of which the supply is controlled by a magneto-thermal circuit breaker 3 among others, also carried by the profile 1.
  • the profile 1 is provided with end pieces 4 and fixing lugs 5.
  • Said safety and / or control member 3 is not described in detail since it is a double fuse, a switch, a magneto-thermal circuit breaker or the like, it is a known material which is not part of the present invention.
  • the attachment of this device 3 in the profile 1 is done, in a manner also known, by means of a piece of omega rail, placed across the profile, on the side wings of which are taken a recess and a pawl arranged on the bottom wall of said device 3.
  • the modular blocks which are threaded inside the U-shaped profile consist of stacking, nesting and assembling of four elements: A, B, C, D; element A being a support for conductive strips (FIGS. 3 and 4); element B being an insulating bridge covering element A (FIGS. 5, 6, 7); element C being an earth conductive strip (FIG. 8), embedded in ribs on the upper face of trigger guard B, this strip being able to receive the earthing contact terminal according to the NF standard; the element D being a socket outlet which comes into contact on the conductive blade C, this base can be adapted to the different standards in force in the different countries.
  • the elements A, B, C are stacked and fitted together, then this stack is threaded into the profile 1, then the element D is put in place and by means of a screw 7, the four elements A, B, C, D are secured to each other, this screwing also causing the assembly to be tightened on the section 1 (FIG. 9).
  • the central rib 16 which separates the two grooves 8 and 9 has a blind hole 17 intended to receive the previously mentioned clamping screw 7.
  • the two grooves 8 and 9 are offset by 45 ° and have at their ends tenons 18 and mortises 19; each groove comprises two vertical volumes 12a, 13a, for receiving the male plugs of a socket so that each element A comprises two pairs of vertical volumes 12a, 13a.
  • Each element A thus constitutes a modular element which can be joined by tenons and mortises 18,19 to another identical element.
  • the element B is constituted so as to correspond to the shape of the element A.
  • This element B is a kind of plate made of insulating material intended to come on element A.
  • Element B has on each of its sides a hollow shoulder 20 which is intended to be fitted into a corresponding projecting shoulder 21 formed on the two upper lateral edges of the profile 1.
  • the element comprises on its upper face a groove 22 of shallow depth, delimited by two small ribs 23 and 24.
  • This groove 22 is intended to receive the conductive strip C which will be described below -after and which is indicated in dotted lines in FIG. 5.
  • the trigger guard B has hollow cylindrical projections of revolution 25 and 26. These hollow cylindrical projections 25 and 26 are intended to allow passage to the plugs of an electrical outlet. At locations corresponding to those of the blind holes 17 of the element A, the trigger guard B is crossed by orifices 27 intended to give passage to the clamping screw 7. There is therefore an orifice 27 between each pair of projections 25 and 26.
  • a blind hole 28 of shallow depth is placed in the groove 22 at the location which the earth terminal must occupy according to the NF standard with respect to the two holes of the contact plugs which must pass through the hollow cylindrical projections 25 and 26. The purpose of this blind hole 28 is to leave room for the fastening rivet of the earth terminal.
  • each element B having the same dimensions as an element A constitutes with the latter a modular element.
  • an element B placed on an element A.
  • a correct position of the element B is obtained on the element A before tightening.
  • the earth conductive strip, which constitutes the element C is shown in Figures 8 and 9.
  • This strip has a thickness slightly less than the depth of the groove 22. It has at regular intervals notches 32 intended to allow passage to the cylindrical projections 25, notches 33 intended for the projections 26, orifices 34 intended to receive the base of the earth terminals and orifices 37 which correspond to the orifices 27 of the elements B and to the blind holes 17 of the elements A.
  • the correct positioning of the element C on the element B is made by pressing the notches 32 and 33 against the edges of the projections 25 and 26.
  • the rivet heads used for fixing the plugs 39 in the orifices 34 are housed in the blind holes 28 described above.
  • This strip 47 makes it possible to provide a volume 48 with an undercut, somewhat similar to a mortise intended to make it possible to fix the profile 1 to a wall or a cabinet wall by the usual method of countersunk head nut; but if this method of attachment is not necessary, the strip 47 can be an integral part of the bottom 49 of the profile, shown in dotted lines.
  • the assembly is then firmly held in place by tightening on the profile 1.
  • FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 represent the improvement to the device previously described in relation to FIGS. 1 to 9.
  • the support A has two pairs of longitudinal ribs 101 and 102 which have at regular intervals bosses 103 for the ribs 101 and 104 for the ribs 102.
  • These bosses 103 and 104 define housings cylindrical hollows in which metal studs 105, hollow, and cylindrical, fit together, the internal diameter of which is very slightly greater than the external diameter of the plugs.
  • each stud 105 is pierced with a lateral opening 107 in which a metal ball 108 partially protruded pushed by a spring 109, placed in a tube cylindrical 110 fixed against the stud 105, the axis of the cylindrical tube 110 being perpendicular to that of the metallic stud 105.
  • the cylindrical tube 110 has an outside diameter less than the distance separating two nerves vures 101 (or 102) so as to fit into the respective groove defined by each pair of respective ribs (101, resp. 102).
  • the metal ball 108 exerts, by means of the spring 109, a constant pressure on said plug which ensures an electrical contact of excellent quality and practically eliminates all false contacts, which is very important when the device is used to power a set of measuring devices or a set of electronic devices such as television monitors.
  • FIG. 12 represents an alternative embodiment of FIG. 11, in which the spring 109 is replaced by an elastic belt 111, made of steel for example, which, similar to a circlip, is engaged in a groove 112 hollowed out in the periphery of the metal stud 105.
  • This belt 111 includes a boss 113 for holding the metal ball 108.
