Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ground terminal.
  • Earthing terminals for grounding of eg water pipes or for equipotential bonding are available in various forms on the market.
  • Out US2010227483 is a ground terminal known, which consists of two half-shells which are screwed together via two lateral flanges. A clamping device for fixing a grounding wire is firmly formed on one of the two half-shells. The half-shells make contact with the pipe. To mount the ground terminal, the two half-shells are placed around the pipe to be grounded and fastened by means of screws.
  • grounding terminals comprising a clamping device, which is laterally connected to a mounting portion.
  • a metal band is fixed with one end fixed to the attachment portion and can be inserted with the free end in a guide element of the attachment portion.
  • the metal strip is placed around the pipe and the free end of the metal strip is inserted into the guide member and fixed by a screw in the mounting portion by deformation of the tape perpendicular to its surface.
  • Such grounding terminals are cumbersome to install and the type of fixation leads to an insufficient clamping force. In addition, they are not easy solvable and reusable.
  • EP1398850 The same applicant describes a ground terminal with a clamping device, which is arranged directly on a support member.
  • the support member has two laterally bent by 90 degrees contact elements, which the contact to grounding device.
  • the support member has two free-standing, bent back and arranged transversely to the contact elements tabs that allow attachment of the ground terminal by means of a band clip, but do not rest on the device to be grounded.
  • the ground terminal has many undercuts, which complicate a cost-effective production.
  • it has long load paths between the tabs and the contact elements and the entire ground terminal can deform unintentionally at the high clamping forces of a band clamp, which can lead to insufficient contact.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a ground terminal, which is easier and less expensive to produce and allows better contact with the device to be grounded.
  • the above object is achieved by a ground terminal with the features of claim 1.
  • the earthing terminal according to the invention comprising a clamping device for at least one earthing line and a fastening section with which the earthing terminal can be fastened to a device to be earthed by means of a guided clamp, wherein the fastening section has at least one guide means for guiding the clamp, is accordingly characterized in that Attachment section has at least one contact element for resting on the device to be grounded, wherein the at least one guide portion and the at least a contact element are arranged adjacent to each other in such a way that in the mounted state of the ground terminal clamped on a device to be grounded, the contact element between the pipe clamp and the device to be grounded and thus fixed.
  • another suitable fastening means such as a band clamp, Bride, hose clamp, wire clamp or the like, can be used.
  • the ground terminal can be used e.g. be adapted to different diameters.
  • the at least one contact element of the grounding terminal according to the invention is preferably a contact plate.
  • the contact surface of the ground terminal can be significantly increased, which allows an even better contact.
  • such a contact plate may be angled or rounded, and / or be deformable and / or have a predetermined bending point, so that the bearing surface resp.
  • Contact surface of the contact plate on a device to be grounded, preferably a pipe, is further enlarged.
  • the at least one guide means is arranged laterally adjacent to the at least one contact plate.
  • a guide section is arranged at two opposite ends or sides of the contact element, so that in the mounted state of the ground terminal on a device to be grounded, the clamp extends over the contact element.
  • the at least one guide section lies between two contact elements, so that in the mounted state of the ground terminal on a device to be earthed, the pipe clamp runs over the contact element.
  • the at least one guide means may be preferably formed as a tab or slot-shaped recess through which the pipe clamp to be attached extends.
  • the at least one guide means may also be designed as two webs or two tongues, so that the pipe clamp to be attached extends between the webs or tongues and over the contact element.
  • the type of guide means can be chosen according to their arrangement in the various embodiments.
  • this is preferably angled or rounded, so that the bearing surface of the contact plate on a device to be grounded, preferably a pipe, is enlarged.
  • the contact element preferably the contact plate, may be about 20 to 40 mm, preferably 25 to 30 mm, wide and about 20 to 40 mm, preferably 25 to 30 mm long.
  • the clamping device can be arranged via a connecting portion transverse to the direction of the pipe clamp.
  • the clamping device can also be arranged on the attachment section via a connecting section along the running direction of the clamp be, in which case at least one guide means is formed by a slot-shaped recess in the connecting portion.
  • the attachment portion and a portion of the clamping device are preferably integrally stamped and / or bent together from a steel sheet.
  • the steel sheet may be about 1 to 3 mm, preferably about 2 mm, thick.
  • a per se known band clamp or strap e.g. with a sortedspannver gleich
  • a pipe clamp with lock and strap can be easily attached by the guide means.
  • Other fasteners, provided they fit in the guide means, can also be used.
  • the earthing clamp is, as long as the clamp is not tightened, freely slidable along the clamp, so that the clamp of the clamp and the clamp can be brought into the desired positions.
  • the closure resp. the lock of the clamp and the clamping device are therefore variably arranged.
  • the inventive earthing terminal is reusable, since the clamp can be removed without destroying or can simply be replaced by a new pipe clamp.
  • the invention further relates to a kit of a ground terminal according to the invention and a pipe clamp, preferably a band clamp with lock and strap, more preferably a band clamp with sortedspannver gleich as a lock.

  • the ground terminal 1 is shown with a band clamp 5 with lock 13 and strap 14 on a pipe to be grounded 6, wherein the band clamp not tightened.
  • the ground terminal 1 has a known clamping device with clamping plate and clamping screw.
  • a grounding line 3 is clamped.
  • the grounding line 3 may be, for example, a wire, a stranded wire, a rope, a cable or the like.
  • the earthing terminal 1 further comprises a fastening section 4 with a contact element designed as a contact plate 7, which rests on the tube 6.
  • the contact plate 7 is angled centrally, so that the support surface is enlarged to the tube 6.

  • the slot-shaped recesses 8 extend beyond the bent region, so that the clamping force of the pipe clamp 5 is transmitted via the clamping band 14 directly to the contact plate 7.
  • the bent part is continued as a connecting portion 9 for the clamping device 2.
  • the connecting portion 9 is therefore arranged in the running direction of the tension band 14 of the pipe clip 5 on the attachment portion 4.
  • the guide means 8 at the free end, ie the clamping device 2, respectively. the connecting portion 9, opposite end, may also be formed as two webs or tongues, between which the pipe clamp 5 can be performed.

  • Fig. 5 also shows the embodiment Fig. 1 in a perspective view, wherein the ground terminal 1 is shown detached from the pipe clamp 5 with lock 13 and strap 14.
  • a clamp can also be another suitable fastener be used.
  • the contact plate 7 also has a predetermined bending point 15. The predetermined bending point 15 is arranged such that when attaching the ground terminal 1 on a pipe to be grounded 5, a portion of the contact plate under the clamping pressure of the pipe clip 5 turns towards the pipe, whereby the contacting of the ground terminal 1 is increased to the tube 5.
