Abstract

Extension cable for an on-site protective contact socket, comprising a housing, from which a cable with a plug is led out, the housing comprising a handle and a wall bracket for a cable.

Description

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to an extension cable with preferably a plurality of sockets for an on-site protective contact socket. In particular, the invention relates to an extension cable for a socket from plug type A to N (according to IEC), in particular for use with a mains voltage between 110 and 240 V.

Background of the Invention

An extension cable with a power strip is known as an extension cable. In addition to a cable extension that leads to the connected device, these enable an on-site socket to be split into several sockets on the socket strip.

Cable drums are particularly widespread in the trades and DIY sector. By winding the cable on a drum, its length can be flexibly adjusted. This way, distances of 10 m and more can be bridged in a simple manner. Furthermore, such cable drums are generally insensitive to environmental influences such as dust, in particular the sockets are mostly designed as folding sockets.

Such cable drums are usually quite heavy, however, and in the case of both cable drums and power strips, the user must always bend down to get to the socket.

Object of the invention

Against this background, the invention is based on the object of providing an extension cable which can be used more flexibly, at least in certain application situations.

Summary of the invention

The object of the invention is already achieved by an extension cable for an on-site protective contact socket according to claim 1.

Preferred embodiments and developments of the invention can be found in the subject matter of the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.

The invention relates to an extension cable for an on-site protective contact socket, which preferably comprises a housing with at least two sockets.

The extension cable comprises a housing from which a cable with a plug, in particular a safety plug for insertion into an on-site socket, is led out.

The housing also includes a handle and a wall bracket for a cable.

The housing can thus be attached or set up on a wall. A wall bracket is understood to mean a housing section, in particular designed as a hook and / or channel-shaped profile, on which a cable, in particular the cable of the extension cable itself, can be wound.

Attached to the wall, the extension cable according to the invention thus provides two functionalities: on the one hand, the extension cable comprises at least one socket, and on the other hand, a wall bracket is provided at the same time, on which the cable of the extension cable itself or another cable can be wound.

The extension cable preferably comprises a removable wall bracket that can be attached by the customer.

In particular, the housing of the extension cable can be hung in the wall bracket.

A wall holder, which is designed, for example, as a hook, can therefore be attached to the wall, in particular by means of screws. The housing can be easily attached and detached via the handle and can therefore also be used at another location.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the housing can also be set up on the floor.

In particular, a rear side of the rear wall can be designed as a standing surface for installation on the floor.

For the purposes of the invention, the top and bottom, front and rear relate to the wall-mounted condition.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the housing can thus be set on the floor tilted by approximately 90 ° and can thus also be used at other points in the room.

For this purpose, the rear of the rear wall is preferably flat. However, as is provided in one embodiment, feet can also protrude from the rear wall.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the handle is connected to an upper region of the rear wall of the housing via two arms.

In particular, the handle is located approximately in the middle above the wall bracket and the housing can be carried in a well-balanced manner even with a coiled cable, without the cable coming loose.

The wall bracket for the cable can in particular be designed as a groove which is formed by a front wall, a rear wall and a bottom of the housing.

The bottom can in particular be part of a lower housing part in which the socket, in particular the two sockets, are arranged.

An arrangement of the socket in a lower part of the socket essentially under the wall bracket makes it possible to use the depth of the wall bracket for receiving the sockets.

The housing can be made compact.

In a development of the invention, the front wall is designed to be tilted forward relative to the vertical (in the state attached to a wall).

In particular, the front wall can be designed to be tilted relative to the vertical at an angle of more than 5 °, preferably more than 20 ° and / or less than 30 °, preferably less than 20 °.

When attached to the wall, this makes it easier to hang the cable.

In the embodiment of the invention in which the housing can be placed on the floor rotated by approximately 90 °, the sockets can also be turned towards the user by a corresponding angle and are thus somewhat more accessible.

Detailed description of the drawings

1 shows a perspective view of the front of an extension cable according to the invention 1 .

The extension cord 1 includes a housing 4th , which is preferably made of plastic.

At the bottom of the case 4th is a cable 3rd for connection to an on-site earthed socket.

The one on the cable 3rd arranged plug for the on-site socket is not shown.

The housing 4th includes a wall bracket 2nd , which is channel-shaped.

The wall bracket 2nd is through a back wall 7 , a front wall 6 as well as a floor 8th educated.

So can the housing 4th with the back wall 7 be attached to a wall (not shown) and a cable, in particular the cable 3rd , can be on the U-shaped or hook-shaped wall bracket 2nd be wound up.

Two sockets designed as protective contact sockets 5a , 5b , which include a hinged lid, are over the front wall 6 accessible.

The sockets 5a , 5b sit in a lower housing part 21st . So the depth of the wall bracket 2nd be exploited to the sockets 5a , 5b at least partially record.

Above the wall bracket 2nd there is a handle 9 which over the arms 10a and 10b with the back wall 7 connected is.

Below the handle 9 is the wall bracket 2nd freely accessible to hang a cable.

The back wall also includes 7 adjacent to the handle 9 a recess 11 that provide free access to the handle 9 also from the back wall 7 enables.

The housing 4th can so on the handle 9 to be worn well balanced. The corners 12 the front wall 6 are bevelled in this embodiment.

The front wall 6 in this embodiment includes a tab with a slot 13 . This allows one with the back wall 7 connected tape, especially Velcro, are guided to the wall bracket 2nd to close upwards.

2nd is another perspective view of the extension cord 1 .

In this view, the back is the back wall 7 to recognize.

With the back of the back wall 7 can the housing 4th in an on-site wall bracket 15 be hung up.

It can also be seen that the rear wall 7 an implementation 14 for a band, which from there below the handle 9 to the tab with the slot 13 can be performed.

3rd is a side view of the extension cord.

Now the tape is 16 used with which the wall bracket 2nd is closed at the top.

It can be seen clearly in this side view that the sockets 5b as well as the front wall 6 are tilted forward.

The lower part of the housing 21st therefore narrows downwards.

4th shows the wall bracket 5 . This is a plate with through holes 18th designed for wall-side fastening and includes a hook 17th for hanging the housing of the extension cable.

5 is a cutaway detail view in the area of the holder 15 which with the housing 4th connected is.

The hook 17th reaches between the edges 20a and 20b in a recording 19th the back wall 7 of the housing 4th .

The hook 17th first runs diagonally into the housing 4th and then extends vertically upwards.

So can the housing 4th can be easily hung and hangs securely on the wall.

In particular referring to 3rd it can be seen that the housing 4th also tilted by 90 ° with the rear wall just formed below 7 can be placed on the floor.

This ensures convenient use of the extension cable on the wall and on the floor.

The invention made it possible to provide a flexible extension cable with at least one socket.
