Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the dressing that it It is usual to have on the front of any electrical equipment.
  • such a covering comprises, usually, a plate, in the general shape of a frame, which is intended to be brought forward on a support forming a housing for the mechanism of electrical equipment concerned, namely that, in the case of built-in electrical equipment, this support either directly a wall or any other surface of this type, or that, in the case of electrical equipment to be projected on such a device wall or on such a surface, this support is a housing which is itself report on this wall or on this surface.
  • the plate By its central opening, the plate leaves a free access to an organ center on which depends the use of the mechanism of the underlying electrical equipment.
  • this switchgear is a switch
  • this switchgear central is for example a tilting mounted operating finger.
  • the central body may have a different configuration.
  • the present invention is aimed more particularly at the case where, for satisfy such different configurations for the central organ of the electrical equipment, it is planned to dispose, annularly, around this central organ, between the latter and the plate, a peripheral organ, commonly called hubcap, shaped frame, as described in US-A-3236990.
  • the present invention generally relates to a provision to avoid this inconvenience, and thus to save the mechanism of electrical equipment.
  • a covering for apparatus electrical type including a plate, generally shaped frame, which is intended to be brought forward on a support forming a housing for the mechanism of the electrical equipment concerned, with, in the central opening this plate, on the one hand, a central organ, on which depends the use of this mechanism, and, on the other hand, a hubcap, which extends annularly around the central body, between the latter and the plate, this covering being in a manner characterized in that said hubcap is made of metal or material reinforced by a reinforcement, and in that, between the hubcap and the plate, are provided support means, which, in particular, intervene substantially perpendicular to the plate.
  • any frontal impact exerted on the hubcap is transmitted to the support of the assembly by the plate, without repercussion on the mechanism of the apparatus electric.
  • the covering according to the invention advantageously hinders the mechanism of the electrical equipment, and it is thus advantageously protected.
  • the central organ presents itself at least locally an appendage, which protrudes laterally, and by which it is inserted between the hubcap and the plate.
  • this central body when this central body is a maneuvering finger mounted tilting, it comprises, in diametrically opposed positions, one with respect to the other, two appendages, aligned with each other, materialize its axis of tilting, and which are inserted between the hubcap and the plate.
  • any frontal shock of which this central organ could itself be the object is also transmitted to the support of the whole by the plate, without repercussion on the mechanism of the electrical equipment.
  • seals are provided, in particular between the hubcap and the plate, these seals also advantageously serve as dampers during such eventual frontal shock.
  • the dressing 10 comprises a plate 11, in the general shape of a frame, which is intended to be brought forward on a support 12 forming a housing 13 for the mechanism 14 of the electrical equipment 15 concerned, with, in the central opening 16 of this plate 11, on the one hand, an organ central station 18, on which the use of this mechanism 14 depends, and, on the other hand, a hubcap 19, which extends annularly around the central member 18, between this one and the plate 11.
  • the support 12 is supposed, by way of example, to be a wall, in which electrical equipment 15, or, more precisely, its mechanism 14, must be embedded.
  • the electrical equipment 15 is also supposed to be, for example, a switch, with, for central organ 18 controlling its mechanism 14, a maneuvering finger tilting mounted.
  • the central member 18 has, peripherally, a contour globally quadrangular.
  • the central organ 18 has a rectangular outline, with rounded angles, but, instead of being rectilinear, its longitudinal edges are slightly convex.
  • the plate 11 has, itself, peripherally, a globally quadrangular outline, and more precisely square, with rounded corners.
  • Its central opening 16 has a rectangular outline, with straight edges and rounded corners.
  • the embellisher 19, which is in the form of a frame, and which is complementary to both the plate 11 and the central organ 18, has, therefore, in the form of shown embodiment, a rectangular outline with straight edges along its outer periphery, and a rectangular outline with longitudinal edges concave along its inner periphery.
  • the plate 11 is otherwise overall flat, although its front surface 22, that is to say its surface upper, may for example be more or less curved or curved.
  • the plate 11 For its attachment to the support 12, the plate 11 comprises, in each of its corner areas, for the passage of any means of attachment, by example for the passage of a screw 24, as shown, a bore 25.
  • this piercing 25 takes place at the bottom of a well 26 likely to be occulted in frontage, that is to say level with the facade surface 22 of the plate 11, by a cover 27.
  • the portion 28 of this cover 27 is notched, so that it is difficult to extract.
  • support means 30 which, in particular, intervene substantially perpendicular to the plate 11, that is to say substantially perpendicular to the plane along which it extends, and from which it follows that any frontal impact exerted on the hubcap 19 is transmitted to the support 12 of the whole by the plate 11.
  • these bearing means 30 comprise, on the plate 11, a rim 31, which borders the central opening 16 of this plate 11 on a at least part of its periphery, and on which the hubcap 19 carries, at least locally, from the front, either directly or indirectly.
  • the flange 31 which borders the central opening 16 of the plate 11 extends over the entire periphery of it.
  • this flange 31 is recessed by compared to the front surface 22 of the plate 11, and the hubcap 19 is therefore at least partly embedded in this plate 11.
  • the transverse sides 32 of the rim 31 have a width greater than that of its longitudinal sides 33.
  • the hubcap 19 bears directly on the rim 31 of the plate 11.
  • these centering means comprise at least two pegs 35 which protrude from the lower surface of the hubcap 19, each cooperating individually in interlocking with housing 36 provided for this purpose on the flange 31 of the plate 11.
  • pins 35 are thus provided in rectangle, at a rate of two per transverse side 32 of the flange 31.
  • these indexing means comprise at least one peg 38, projecting from the lower surface of the hubcap 19, cooperates in interlocking with a housing 39 provided in correspondence to this effect on the rim 31 of the plate 11, and, more precisely, on one of the sides transverse 32 of this rim 31, between two pins 35.
  • this seal 40 extends continuously under the central organ 18, marrying more or less the shape of it, while being applied, by its peripheral edge 41, against the flange 31 of the plate 11.
  • the seal 40 has notches 42, for the passage of the legs 34 of the hubcap 19.
  • peripheral edge 41 has, in addition, holes 43, for the passage of the pins 35 of the hubcap 19, and, in positions diametrically opposite one another, two holes 44, for the passage of the pin 38 of this hubcap 19.
  • the central organ 18 presents itself, at least locally, a Appendix 45, which protrudes laterally on one of its sides, and by which it is inserted between the hubcap 19 and the plate 11, so that, in the event that he himself would be the object of a frontal shock, this frontal shock is also transmitted to the support 12 of the assembly by the plate 11.
  • the central member 18 is a pivoted operating finger the embodiment shown, it comprises, in practice, in this form embodiment, in diametrically opposite positions with respect to one another, two appendages 45, which, aligned with each other, each have hollow on their lower surface, a groove 46 with a rounded transverse profile, and in correspondence, the flange 31 of the plate 11 has, locally, in projecting on its upper surface, two ribs 47 with rounded transverse profile complementary to the previous one.
  • the appendages 45 of the organ central 18 extend parallel to its longitudinal edges, and they are generally curved, like round tiles.
  • the ribs 47 of the plate 11 protrude on the sides transverse 32 of its rim 31, in the middle zone thereof, and this is one of the reasons why these transverse sides 32 have a width greater than that of the longitudinal sides 33 with which they alternate.
  • the peripheral edge 41 of the seal 40 is itself globally tuile, and thus closes, locally, in alignment with each other, on its sides transverse, two vaults 48.
  • the hubcap 19 has on the lower surface of each transverse sides, in the median zone of these, on the one hand, the along its inner periphery, an indentation 49, with a rounded transverse profile, by which it caps the corresponding appendage 45 of the central organ 18, and on the other hand, along its outer periphery, beyond the notch 49, a notch 50, rounded transverse profile, whose amplitude is smaller than that of the notch 49, and by which it caps the corresponding rib 47 of the plate 11 beyond the appendage 45 of the central organ 18.
  • peripheral edge 41 of the seal 40 also forms, also, locally, protruding on its upper surface, four bosses 51, which, arranged in a rectangle, are intended to damp the tilting of the actuating finger formed by the organ central 18.
  • the seal 40 has, in its central zone, at least one knock-out cap 52, for the passage of the coach, not visible in the figures, that the central body 18 usually projecting on its lower surface to act on the mechanism 14 of the electrical equipment 15.
  • two knockouts 52 are provided, which are arranged in diametrically opposite each other, and only one of which is used according to the orientation of the central member 18, and therefore of the hubcap 19, relative to the plate 11.
  • the hubcap 19 is secured to the plate 11 and thus forms with this one a unitary subassembly whose assembly is in practice carried out in workshop.
  • screws 53 pass through the rear edge 31 of the plate 11, by means of holes 54 provided for this purpose in the zones angle of this flange 31, and these screws 53 are in screwed engagement with wells 55 provided in correspondence to this effect on the hubcap 19, and, more specifically, on the lower surface of the legs 34 thereof.
  • the central member 18 is inserted by appendices 45 between the hubcap 19 and the plate 11, it belongs by construction to the same subassembly that this hubcap 19 and this plate 11.
  • a seal 56 is provided between the plate 11 and the support 12, to oppose, together with the seal 40, any penetration of moisture into the housing 13 in which the mechanism 14 of the electrical equipment 15 intervenes.
  • this seal 56 is glued under the plate 11 while along the periphery of it, to participate in the same subset that this plate 11.
  • the seal 56 In its corner areas, the seal 56 has holes 57 for the passage of the screws 24 ensuring the attachment of the assembly to the support 12.
  • this seal 56 is less partially engaged in a housing 58 provided for this purpose in hollow on the lower surface of the plate 11.
  • the hubcap 19 is made of metal or plastic duly reinforced by a frame, and, for example, by a fiber reinforcement.
  • the plate 11 cash advantageously all possible frontal impact which may be subject to the hubcap 19 and / or the body central 18, thus sparing the mechanism 14 underlying the apparatus concerned.
  • the support means 30 provided between the hubcap 19 and the plate 11 comprise, on the hubcap 19, a flange 59 through which this hubcap 19 overflows, at least locally, on the plate 11.
  • This rim 59 can intervene jointly with the rim 31 of the plate 11 or in substitution therefor.
  • the hubcap can also just as well wear indirectly on this plate, through a any intermediate part, the essential point being that, with regard to a possible frontal shock or more or less oblique, the plate obstructs between him and the mechanism of the underlying electrical equipment.
  • the field of application of the invention is not limited to that only switches, but on the contrary extends to that of any other types of electrical equipment, and, for example, current.
  • electrical equipment concerned may also be arranged projecting on such a wall, the support on which the corresponding covering must be attached, being then formed by a housing itself duly reported on this wall.
