Description

- 1 -901_41 Rudolf Schmid Fallanden/Switzerland Electric Circuit Arrangement for Mains Connection The present invention relates to an electric circuit arrangement for mains connection.
In many industrial and domestic fields, the need for a versatile mains connection technique increases in order that not only many consumers may be connected to an existing mains socket, but also that low-voltage apparatus may be connected and switching means interconnected.
Existing connection strips provided with a plug cord cannot fulfil these demands, even if these connection means are provided with an on-off switch and in most cases comprise several sockets.

- 1 -901_41 Rudolf Schmid Fallanden/Switzerland Electric Circuit Arrangement for Mains Connection The present invention relates to an electric circuit arrangement for mains connection.
In many industrial and domestic fields, the need for a versatile mains connection technique increases in order that not only many consumers may be connected to an existing mains socket, but also that low-voltage apparatus may be connected and switching means interconnected.
Existing connection strips provided with a plug cord cannot fulfil these demands, even if these connection means are provided with an on-off switch and in most cases comprise several sockets.
2 ~ 6 ~
~her0fore, a primary object of the present invention is to create an electric circuit arrangement for mains connection which meets practically all requirements in regard to possible connection, transformation and switching techniques.
This is achieved according to the invention in the first place by modules, detachable circuit construction units that are current-conductive and connectable to one another.
In this connection, it is of advantage that at least one circuit construction unit is constructed for a mains socket connection having a plug cord or as a plug.
Further, in order to make the circuit arrangement childproof or safe against mechanical stress, it is of advantage that the current-conducting connecting means of the circuit construction units simultaneously fo~m interlocking means;
and/or that the circuit construction units comprise in addition interlocking means.
For an optimum handiness, it is further of advantage that the circuit construction units are constructed cubical or quarter-shaped and have connecting means on at least two sides.
2Q~166 For a current-contact protection, the circuit construction units can, moreover, be closeable on the connecting-means side by means of small contact-protecting plates.
In order to attain a wide range of applications, it is essential to the invention that the circuit construction units are constructed as, among other things, an on-off switch or a power circuit-breaker, as a transit block or preferably a switchable transformer, as an individual socket, as a plug switch, as a multiple-socket strip or board, as a dimming switch, as a switching-on lag switch or potentiometer or connecting piece or branching or the like.
Further, according to the invention, the current-conducting connecting means can ~e flat or round plug pins and plug sockets or turning-lock contact means or slot contact means;
and, furthermore, the additional locking means can be screw connections or swivel means or locking slide means.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
2~6~6~
FIG. 1 a,b is a diagrammatic representation of a first modular circuit construction unit shown in two elevations;
FIG. 2 a,b is a diagrammatic representation of another modular circuit construction unit shown in two elevations;
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic trans~erse section of a circuit construction unit shown as a modular individual socket;
FIG. 4 a,b,c, is a diagrammatic representation of other specific embodiments of modular circuit construction units;
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic representation of a modular circuit construction unit comprising small . contact-protecting plates;
FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic representation of modular circuit construction units in the form of connecting pieces or branchings;
FIG. 7 a - g is a diagrammatic representation of modular circuit construction units with different contact connecting means; and IG. 8 a - d is a diagrammatic representation of modular circuit construction units with different interlocking means.
As the representations of the drawings show, the electric circuit arrangement for mains connection distinguishes itself according to the invention by modules, detachable circuit construction units that are current-conductive and connectable to one another 1 - 20.
As FIGS. 1,2 and 4a show, at least one circuit construction unit 1,2,7 is constructed for a mains socket connection having a plug cord 1'j2 or as a plug 7.
As FIGS. 1 to 6 show in particular, the circuit construction units can be constructed as, among other things, an on-off switch or a power circuit-breaker 1, as a transit block or preferably a switchable transformer 2, as an individual socket 3, as a plug switch 7, as a multiple-socket strip or board 8, as a dimming switch 19, as a switching-on lag switch or potentiometer or connecting piece or branching or the like (not shown).
2~6~
Of course, other circuit elements in addition to those here are, moreover, capable of being developed and adapted as modular circuit construction units.
In order to make a circuit arrangement consisting of a plurality of such circuit construction units as previously described safe against mechanical stress or childproof, the current-conducting connecting means of the circuit construction units can simultaneously form interlocking means 4' - 6' or 10' - 13' according to FIG. 7 a-g.
Further, the circuit construction units can, of course, also comprise additional locking means 14' - 17', as Figures 8 a - d illustrate. In which case, these interlocking means can be screw connections 14', 15' or hinge means 16' or locking slide means 17'.
For an optimum handiness, it is further of advantage that the circuit construction units are constructed cubical or quarter-shaped and have connecting means on at least two sides (all Figures).
For a current-contact protection, the circuit construction units 20 are, moreover, closeable on the connecting-means side by means of small contact-protecting plates 20', as 2~6~ 6~
FIG. 5 illustrates in particular.
As FIGS 3 and 7 show in particular, the current-conducting connecting means can be flat or round plug pins and plug sockets 3',4',6' and 5' or turning-lock contact means 10', 11',12' or slot contact means 13'.
Thus from the aforementioned there results a modular electric circuit arrangement for mains connection for a practically unlimited applicability.
Naturally, in this connection, there are no limits to a further development, so far as the other specific embodi-ments are based on the modular circuit construction units according to the invention.
