Description

The invention relates to a device for contacting a live line of a small animal defense device according to the preamble of claim 1.

The invention further relates to a small animal repelling device which is equipped with such a device.

Such a device and such a small animal repelling device are off DE 10 2014 000 957 A1 known. This previously known device for contacting a live line of a small animal defense device has a base part which is set up to receive a live line. Furthermore, there is an electrically conductive contact plate formed with spike-like contact elements, which can be connected to the base part in such a way that the contact elements are electrically connected to the live line in an interconnected contact arrangement of base part and contact plate. To connect to the bottom part, the contact plate is formed with a number of locking tongues angled with respect to a flat area of the contact plate, which have locking hooks at their free ends that engage in associated locking receptacles of the bottom part and thereby connect the contact plate very reliably to the bottom part.

Out DE 10 2014 016 797 A1 a three-part arrangement for deterring small animals with two contact plates opposite one another at a distance is known, which enclose an insulation body fitted with a double-core line. Each contact plate is designed with at least one spike that pierces a line so that the contact plates are at different potentials when the voltage in the lines is different and a deterrent effect is achieved when a small animal comes into contact with the two contact plates.

The invention is based on the object of specifying a device of the type mentioned at the beginning which is characterized by very simple handling and yet very reliable contacting of at least one contact plate with a line.

The invention is also based on the object of specifying a small animal defense device equipped with a device of this type, which offers reliable protection.

The first-mentioned object is achieved according to the invention with a device of the type mentioned at the beginning with the characterizing features of claim 1.

The second-mentioned object is achieved according to the invention with a small animal defense device with the features of claim 12.

The fact that according to the invention there is a cover part on which the contact plate, which is typically set to a certain potential for warding off small animals such as martens, is attached and that the cover part is attached to the base part via a hinge arrangement so as to be pivotable and with a latching arrangement with the The base part is secured against unintentional pivoting open, on the one hand the one-piece device can be handled very easily due to the security against loss and on the other hand the contacting of the or each contact plate with a line can be accomplished very reliably, since the cover part and the base part on one side already have a hinge arrangement are connected to one another and a latching arrangement is to be actuated only on one side in order to connect the cover part to the base part.

Furthermore, the provision of the cover part creates a very flexible assembly with at least two contact plates, since the contact plates are only expediently permanently connected to the cover part and all contact plates are contacted with a multiple line having multiple lines when the cover part is connected to the base part .

Appropriate configurations and advantages of the invention emerge from the dependent claims and from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the figures of the drawing.

1 shows in a perspective view an embodiment of a device according to the invention, which as a folding contact module 103 is designed for a small animal deterrent. The folding contact module 103 is with a bottom part 106 and with a cover part 109 formed, which in the representation according to 1 are shown in an opened unfolded arrangement.

The bottom part 106 has a cuboid basic shape and is expediently made from an electrically conductive material, in particular from an electrically conductive plastic. In the middle is the bottom part 106 with a first half channel 112 and with a second half channel 115 formed opposite an intermediate web 118 are recessed and extend in a longitudinal direction of the bottom part 106 extend. On the intermediate bridge 118 facing away from the second half-channel 115 a side bar mount 121 which is roughly in the plane of the top side of the intermediate web 118 lies.

Opposite the side bar mount 121 is the bottom part 106 with a line fixing arrangement, here in the form of two fastening lugs 124 , equipped, which are at a distance from and opposite the side bar mount 121 are arranged raised and the side bar mount 121 at least in sections protrude like a nose.

The bottom part 106 also has two stop walls 127 , each at the the intermediate web 118 facing away from the edge of the half-channels 112 , 115 of the bottom part 106 adjoin and over the half-channels 112 , 115 survive sublime.

Through this training of the bottom part 106 with half channels 112 , 115 , intermediate bridge 118 , Side bar mount 121 with protruding fastening lugs 124 as well as laterally limiting stop walls 127 is the bottom part 106 As explained in more detail below, set up for the pre-fixed accommodation of a two-core double line, for example in the form of a twin strand.

Furthermore, according to the representation 1 infer that the bottom part 106 for fastening to a component, for example a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, with connector ducts 130 , through which, for example, in 1 Cable ties, not shown, can be passed through, and connecting tongues formed with recesses, for example, for passing through screws 133 Is provided. The connector ducts expediently extend 130 perpendicular to the half-channels 112 , 115 and are between a contact side of the bottom part 106 as well as the half-channels 112 , 115 arranged while the connecting tongues 133 on parallel to the half-channels 112 , 115 running edge walls 139 are formed protruding outwards. This allows the bottom part 106 relatively easy to attach to a component since one is in the bottom part 106 arranged line or multiple line, in particular as provided here a double line, is spatially spaced.

The folding contact module 103 is still with a hinge arrangement 142 equipped, which have a number of each on a longitudinally extending edge wall 139 of the bottom part 106 and the lid part 109 molded pin receptacles 145 has, which interlock and with an aligned arrangement of in the pin receptacles 145 formed pin receiving recesses a hinge pin 148 take up. This is the cover part 109 pivotable on the bottom part 106 attached and over the hinge assembly 142 with the hinge pin inserted 148 Can be swiveled on one side firmly with the base part 106 connected.

On the pen mounts 145 opposite side is the clamshell contact module 103 with a locking arrangement 151 formed, which in this embodiment with one on the cover part 109 molded locking bar 154 with outwardly protruding locking lug 157 and with one in the hinge assembly 142 opposite longitudinal edge wall 139 trained locking lug receptacle 160 is trained.

Thus, when the folding contact module is properly closed, which is explained in more detail below 103 the lid part 109 with the bottom part 106 locked, whereby this locking can only be achieved by pushing out the hinge pin 148 out the pen holders 145 at least so far that he can only see a pen holder on the edge 145 is held, can be solved. This creates a connection between the base part that is secured against any unintentional manipulation 106 and the lid part 109 ensured.

Furthermore, according to the representation 1 infer that the cover part 109 corresponding to the bottom part 106 with a first half channel 163 , with a second half channel 166 , with an intermediate web 169 and with a side bar mount 172 is designed to have a double line after connecting the cover part 109 with the bottom part 106 to enclose.

On the lid part 109 are based on 1 illustrated embodiment of the invention a first contact plate 175 and a second contact plate 178 via a number of locating pins 181 appropriate. The contact plates 175 , 178 are preferably made of a non-corrosive metal such as stainless steel in particular, while the fixing pins 181 are made of plastic and the contact plates 175 , 178 reaching through the contact plates 175 , 178 and through a top wall 184 of the lid part 109 , on the outside the contact plates 175 , 178 rest by force and / or form fit on the cover part 109 hold.

Any contact plate 175 , 178 is with at least one pointed, elongated piercing spike 187 designed as a contact element, each contact plate 175 , 178 in the illustrated embodiment, it is expedient to use two spikes 187 features that through the top wall 184 of the lid part 109 reach through and in each case an assigned half-channel 163 , 166 of the lid part 109 intervention. The spikes 187 serve, as explained in more detail below, when closing the Klappkontaktiermoduls 103 to that each contact plate 175 , 178 is electrically connectable to a live line assigned to it or to a grounded line.

Furthermore, according to the representation 1 infer that also the cover part 109 with a connector duct 190 is formed, which extends in the transverse direction on the cover part 109 facing undersides of the contact plates 175 , 178 extends and serves to accommodate, for example, a cable tie to the Klappkontaktiermodul 103 if necessary also via the cover part 109 to be able to attach to a component of a vehicle.

2 shows this in a perspective view 1 explained embodiment of the invention in the form of the Klappkontaktiermoduls 103 facing the the lid part 109 facing away from the top of the contact plates 175 , 178 . Out 2 it can be seen that the locating pins, which are designed with a plate-like head that is wider than that of a shaft 181 on the lid part 109 held contact plates 175 , 178 by a central protruding insulating bar 203 of the lid part 109 are reliably electrically isolated from each other, even if there is a certain amount of play in the locating pins 181 the contact plates 175 , 178 should move slightly.

Furthermore, according to the representation 2 remove the locating pins 187 for example, by cutting and bending in one piece with the contact plates 175 , 178 are connected. Any contact plate 175 , 178 is still with at least one tongue 206 formed, for example, after a cut at right angles from the cover part 109 is set up in a pioneering way to increase the effectiveness when scaring off small animals such as martens in particular.

From the representation according to 2 it can also be seen that the in the representation according to 2 partially covered half-channels 112 , 115 of the bottom part 106 and the half-channels 163 , 166 of the lid part 109 together with the dividers 118 , 169 as well as the side bar mounts 121 , 172 a recording room 209 enclose, which in the illustrated embodiment for receiving an in 2 double line, not shown, is set up with two electrically conductive lines and an insulating jacket surrounding both lines.

3 shows this in a sectional view 1 and 2 explained embodiment of a Klappkontaktiermoduls 103 in the closed folded arrangement of the bottom part 106 and the lid part 109 in a first cross-sectional plane, the first cross-sectional plane being formed by a pair of insertion pins lying opposite one another in the transverse direction 187 the first contact plate 175 or the second contact plate 178 is laid. According to the representation 3 it can be seen that the spikes 187 in a closed arrangement of the bottom part 106 and the lid part 109 except for a safety distance to the bottom part 106 essentially over the entire cross section of the receiving space 209 in the area of the half-channels 112 , 115 , 163 , 166 extend, so that a very reliable contact in the half-channels 112 , 115 , 163 , 166 lines to be arranged is ensured.

4th FIG. 14 shows a sectional view in a plane opposite the first sectional plane according to FIG 3 The second cross-sectional plane offset in the longitudinal direction is based on this 1 to 3 illustrated embodiment with the bottom part 106 and with that Cover part 109 in a closed arrangement, the second cross-sectional plane in the area of the latching arrangement 151 runs and one in the bottom part 106 embedded and in the first half-channels 112 , 163 of the recording room 209 protruding fixing contact pin 403 cut as a fixing contact element. The fixing contact pin 403 is made of a mechanically resistant and electrically conductive material such as a metal, in particular stainless steel, and creates an electrical connection between the in the first half-channels 112 , 163 to be arranged line, namely a grounded line, with the bottom part 106 and thus a particularly advantageous electrical connection for a self-sufficient small animal deterrent device that is not connected to the on-board network of a vehicle with a component of a vehicle that is also grounded and on which the folding contact module 103 is appropriate.

The other, therefore live, line, the one in the second half-channels 115 , 178 is to be arranged, brings the second contact plate 178 on those in the second half-channels 115 , 166 to be arranged line guided voltage, so that a small animal, which, for example, with a body area over the first contact plate 175 or a component of the vehicle on earth and with another area of the body with the voltage, expediently a rapidly collapsing high voltage, which is not dangerous for the small animal 178 is in contact, because of the resulting unpleasant but harmless body reaction for the small animal.

Furthermore, in 4th the locking arrangement 151 with engagement of the locking lug 157 in that of the hinge arrangement 152 opposite edge wall 139 trained locking lug receptacle 160 shown. It follows that the bottom part 106 and the lid part 109 only by pushing out the hinge pin sufficiently far 148 from the pen mounts 145 by means of an appropriately adapted tool such as an elongated ejector pin with one opposite the hinge pin 148 have slightly smaller cross-sections separated from each other. This manipulation must be carried out in a very targeted manner, so that an unintentional loosening of the connection between the base part 106 and the lid part 109 is excluded.

5 shows in a perspective view accordingly 1 the above-explained embodiment of a device of the invention in the form of the Klappkontaktiermoduls 103 together with a double wire, preferably designed as a twin strand 503 , which together with other components such as a voltage generator and expediently with several Klappkontaktiermodulen 103 form a small animal deterrent.

The double line 503 has a first line 506 and a second line 509 , which expediently each consist of an electrically conductive strand formed from fine wires twisted together. The lines 506 , 509 are in an electrically insulating, relatively soft common insulating jacket 512 embedded between the lines 506 , 509 a flat connecting portion 515 and for an asymmetrical structure to distinguish the lines 506 , 509 for proper assembly on the side of the second line 509 one in the plane of the connecting section 515 Laterally outwardly protruding side bar 518 having.

In the representation according to 5 is the uninterrupted double line 503 with the side bridge 518 in the area of the side bar mount 121 of the bottom part 106 arranged and by the or each fastening nose 124 covered, so that through the lateral fixation over the stop walls 127 as well as by piercing the or each, in 5 invisible fixing contact pin 403 into the first line 506 in the in 5 shown pre-assembly arrangement with a lid part that is still open 109 the double line 503 is already relatively stable, in any case secure to assemble, is fixed.

The cover part is now pivoted for the assembly arrangement 109 towards the bottom part 106 until the locking lug engages 157 with the locking lug holder 160 while electrically connecting the first contact plate 175 with the first line that is grounded 506 and the second contact plate 178 with the live second line 509 .

6th shows in a perspective view accordingly 5 an embodiment of a small animal deterrent in which the ends of two double lines 503 in the area of the stop walls 127 opposite each other in the half-channels 112 , 115 , 163 , 166 are arranged. Out 6th it can be seen that when the cover part is pivoted 109 towards the bottom part 106 after taking the mounting arrangement with closing of the latching arrangement 151 the contact plates 175 , 178 are at their respective potentials and between the two double lines 503 an electrical connection is established. This is particularly advantageous when installing and / or repairing a small animal deterrent device with at least two or more double lines 503 work has to be done, for example because the laying of a single continuous double line 503 is impractical.
