Definitions

  • the invention relates to the electrical field.
  • the invention relates to the field of devices used to connect an electric wire to an element intended to be supplied with electricity.
  • the electrical connection which they authorize requires two electrical connections: a first between the element to be supplied with electricity and the outer end of the housing latch, and a second between the clip equipping the electric wire or cable and the other end of this latch, inside the housing.
  • the objective of the present invention is to present a device for electrical connection of a wire or an electrical supply cable to an element to supply electricity without the disadvantages of state devices of the technique mentioned above.
  • an objective of the present invention is to describe such a device having a lower cost price because only using one single structural element and single manufacturing material.
  • an objective of the present invention is to provide such a connection device that can be installed more quickly than the connection devices prior art.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to disclose such device for increasing the reliability of the connection made.
  • a latch intended to be crimped at the end of an electric wire characterized in that it is consisting of at least one blade of electrically conductive material having at least one proximal end provided with at least one set of fins crimping capable of cooperating with said wire, and at least one distal end forming connection designed to cooperate directly with an element to be supplied with electricity.
  • electrical wires as referring to wires, but also electrical cables.
  • the invention therefore provides a connection device for connecting directly an electrical supply wire to an element to be supplied with electricity without having to use an annex piece constituted by a connection box.
  • this latch consists of a single structural element made from a single electrically conductive material (in practice it will most often be copper or copper products. Its manufacture is found therefore greatly simplified and involves the use of manufacturing equipment cheaper.
  • the latch according to the invention allows direct connection the supply wire to the element to be supplied, without having to install a any connection box near this element.
  • the use of this latch is therefore simpler and faster than that of the devices of the prior art.
  • connection established thanks to this latch requires only one electrical connection, between the latch and the element to be supplied, and not two as in the prior art, which increases its reliability.
  • the crimpable latch according to the invention may be designed to cooperate with any type of element to supply electricity.
  • element may include in particular on this subject bulbs, switches, motors, etc ... It will therefore be understood that the shape of the blade of electrically conductive material constituting such a latch may vary depending on the nature of this element and the environment of it.
  • said proximal end of the latch according to the invention is provided with a first set of two crimping fins capable of cooperating with the insulator of said wire and of a second set of two crimping fins capable of cooperating with the copper strands of said wire.
  • a preferential characteristic is intended to adapt the invention to standard electrical wires which are conventionally formed of two strands linked together, each strand consisting of a bundle of copper covered by an insulating plastic sheath.
  • the latch according to the invention must be crimped on such a wire, the copper at the end of it is stripped by removing its plastic sheath over a small portion.
  • the two fins of the first set of fins are crimped to the core on the insulation, while the two fins of the second set of fins are crimped to the core directly on the copper.
  • the distal end of the latch according to the invention has at least one hole or positioning embossment of at least one part of said element to be supplied with electricity.
  • a hole or such an embossing allows to wedge an adequate part of the element to be supplied with electricity, by example the base of a bulb, and thus secure the established electrical connection thanks to the latch.
  • said distal end also has at least one gutter to facilitate positioning of said part of said element to supplying electricity to said hole or to said embossment of positioning.
  • said distal end is designed to be able to endure elastic deformation.
  • Such a characteristic will make it possible to operate a snap-fastening, i.e. a reversible secure positioning, of the latch on the element to be supplied with electricity.
  • said proximal end and said distal end form an angle ⁇ between them. It is thus possible to reduce the size of the device according to the invention. Depending on the applications, this angle may of course vary. According to a variant of the invention, this angle ⁇ could be around 90 °.
  • the latch has at least a positioning lug on a support.
  • a support could be constituted by any element, integrated or not to the element to be supplied with electricity, to keep the latch in a fixed position.
  • the latch according to the invention can advantageously be manufactured by stamping, said fins then being formed by cutting from said blade in electrically conductive material.
  • the invention also relates to a set of two latches as described above can be mirrored to both hold in place and supply an element such as a light bulb with electricity.
  • the latch shown with reference to Figures 1 to 3 has been specially designed to establish an electrical connection between a power supply wire and the lamp designed to illuminate the registration plate of a vehicle. It's not about obviously there as a simple illustrative example of the invention which has by no means the purpose of which is to reduce its scope.
  • connection devices used included a housing to be previously mounted on the vehicle part (for example a bumper) with the license plate.
  • the power supply wire and the bulb then had to be connected to this box.
  • the invention has made it possible to provide a simplification of the realization of the connection and decrease the cost of such surgery.
  • the latch shown is formed by a copper strip with a thickness of about 1 mm and is produced by stamping. In the figures, this latch is shown, for the sake of clarity of the description before crimping on an electric wire.
  • This latch has two parts forming between them an angle ⁇ of 90 °, at know a first part forming a so-called proximal end 1 and a second part forming a so-called distal end 4.
  • Part 4 forming the distal end 4 has a sufficient length allowing a certain elastic deformation which the interest will be explained below.
  • the proximal end 1 is provided with two sets of crimping fins 2.3 on an electric wire (not shown), namely a first set of two fins 3 intended to be crimped on a part of the non-stripped electric wire, these fins then cooperating with the insulator of the electric wire and a second set of two fins 2 intended to be crimped on part of the exposed electrical wire, these fins cooperating then directly with the copper of this wire.
  • the diameter of the stripped electric wire being lower than that of the bare wire, the size of the fins 2 is smaller than the fin size 3.
  • the distal end 4 of the latch according to the invention for its part, has a hole 5 for accommodating the base of a bulb (not shown) and a gutter 6 facilitating the positioning of said base in this hole 5.
  • This distal end 4 also has two lugs 7 making it possible to attach the latch to the part of the vehicle receiving the license plate.
  • the latch is crimped on an electric wire.
  • this wire is stripped over a small portion of its end by removing its plastic insulating sheath.
  • the end of this wire is then positioned between the fins 2 and the fins of 3 so that the stripped portion cooperates with the fins 2 and that the non-stripped portion cooperates with the fins 3.
  • the fins 2 and 3 are then crimped onto the said wire by folding the fins on it using a tool adequate.
  • the electrical connection with the bulb can be established by positioning the distal end 4 so that it come into contact with the support housing the bulb. During this positioning, the distal end 4 deforms elastically to allow the base of the bulb to snap into the hole 5. This operation is facilitated by the gutter 6.
  • the pins 7 cooperate with notches provided in the support to maintain the positioning thus achieved.
  • the present invention therefore makes it possible to reduce the time necessary for the making the electrical connection while reducing the cost of obtaining the connection device.
  • a mode of use of the latch according to the invention is shown in the figure 4.
  • a bulb 8 is mounted between two catches 4 symmetrical assembled in mirror.
  • each latch 4 is connected to an electric wire 9 by its end proximal 1.
  • Such an assembly keeps the lamp 8 placed in position while ensuring a tightening on this lamp and and allowing the feeding necessary for its operation.
