Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adapter for connecting at least one European plug to a flush-mounted or surface-mounted socket or a portable grounded socket.
  • Such an adapter is from the German patent DE 808 055 known, which discloses a junction box with one-piece housing, which covers a contact carrier receiving the contact carrier, for connecting a plurality of standardized light line connector.
  • the Euro sockets are provided with their collars side by side with parallel alignment, whereby the insertion or withdrawal of a plug, for example, the middle connector in three juxtaposed adapter sockets is cumbersome.
  • Another disadvantage is the relatively large production cost of such prior art adapters, which are formed from at least two separate housing parts, connector pins and to be attached to the connector pins contact springs.
  • a plastic Stekkergetude that a connector portion, preferably as a contour plug according to DIN 49406 Form R, and a flat collarless connecting portion, wherein the connecting portion after insertion of the adapter covers at least the insertion of the flush-mounted or surface-mounted socket or portable contact socket.
  • connection section forms for the insertion of the European plug the socket side and is preferably designed as a square plate, the size of which prevents dangerous contact plugging a Euro plug and thus takes over the protective function of the conventional socket collar.
  • the plug portion and the connecting portion are integrally formed and secured to each other, preferably via film hinges. This results in a cost-effective production of the plastic housing.
  • connection section has a raised region in which connection socket openings for the European connector (s) are formed, wherein the raised region is formed in the shape of a spherical cap with flats inclined away from one another for the connection socket opening pairs.
  • connection section outside the raised region with the flats inclined away from one another for the connection socket opening pairs has a peripheral edge which follows a spherical cap contour with a larger radius, preferably approximately five times the radius, than that of the raised region.
  • connection section is designed as a square plate with rounded corners. This results in a visually appealing flat design without socket collar, which is achieved by the square design advantageous coverage of the insertion of the socket outlet, which can remain in the socket even when not in use, without optical to be distracting.
  • the so-designed adapter also fits to frame of commercially available flush-mounted switch programs or socket covers.
  • the adapter has a plug housing made of plastic, which has a flat collarless connection portion 11 and a connector portion 12, which, as seen in connection with Figures 6 and 7, are integrally connected with film hinges 13 and 14 to form a folding housing.
  • the plug portion 12 is manufactured as a contour plug according to DIN 49406 Form R and fits in all conventional flush or surface-mounted sockets or in portable protective sockets DIN 49404.
  • pins 15 and 16 are fixedly arranged, which are rolled from brass sheet and each having a molded triple contact spring 17 for male plug of Euro plugs, as indicated in Figures 8 to 11.
  • both sections can also be welded or glued after insertion of the pins 15 and 16 together with the contact springs 17.
  • the connecting portion 11 has, seen from above (see Figure 3), an approximately square plan with rounded corners, wherein on the connecting portion a central raised kugelkappenförmiger area 20 is formed in the total of three mutually weggeneddle flats 21 to 23 with port opening pairs 24 to 26th for inserting the Stekker of Euro plugs are formed.
  • the arrangement is made such that the flattened portion 22 extends perpendicular to axes of the plugs 15 and 16, and the flats 21 and 23 together form an obtuse angle of about 140 °.
  • the flats 23 and 21 are arranged symmetrically to the plane passing through the plug 15 and 16 and the axis of symmetry of the port opening pair 25.
  • With 27 and 28 ball cap sections are referred to, which are arranged laterally of flats 21 to 23.
  • the laterally inclined flats 21 and 23 merge into a peripheral edge 29, which has a circumferential chamfer and also follows the contour of a spherical cap, wherein the radius in the illustrated embodiments is about 200 mm, while the radius of the spherical cap portions 27, 28 in the illustrated embodiment is about 46 mm.
