Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une fiche électrique de nouvelle con ception pouvant s'adapter à toute type de prise de courant, ce qui permet d'éliminer l'usage de réducteurs.The invention relates to a new design electrical plug which can be adapted to any type of socket, which eliminates the use of reducers.
Dans l'état de la technique actuelle on connaît une grande varieté de fiches l'une différente de l'autre équipant les ap pareils électriques, ce qui rend difficile la connexion électrique avec les prises de courant à leur fois différentes du reseau déjà installé.In the current state of the art, a large variety of plugs is known, one different from the other fitted to the electrical devices, which makes electrical connection with the electrical outlets at their own time different from the network already installed.
On connaît que les prises de courant ont différent diametre des trous et différent pas et en général les trous plus grands sont plus eloignés l'un de l'autre par rapport au petits.We know that sockets have different hole diameters and different pitches and in general the larger holes are more distant from each other compared to the small ones.
Cette différence des prises de courant était une fois réalisée pour distinguer le fichement du reseau d'éclairage par rapport au fichement du reseau industriel.This difference in sockets was once made to distinguish the file from the lighting network compared to the file from the industrial network.
Bien que dans leslegislationsactuellescette différence n'exi ste pas, les anciennes prises de courant existent encore et cela comporte toujours les problèmes susdits.Although in current legislation this difference does not exist, the old sockets still exist and this still involves the above problems.
Pour porter un remède à cette difficulté, comme bien connu par les utilisateurs et en particulier dans les habitations, il est necessaire acheter une grande varieté de réducteurs et et mulitplicatuers de type mâle et femelle avec ou sans goupille centrale pour la prise du sol et cela pour permettre la connexion des appareils électriques avec le reseau sans changer son fiche.To remedy this difficulty, as well known by the users and in particular in the dwellings, it is necessary to buy a large variety of reducers and and mulitplicatuers of male and female type with or without central pin for the taking of the ground and that to allow the connection of the electrical devices with the network without change his record.
La présente invention a pour but de réaliser une nouvelle fiche universelle réglable pouvant s'adapter aux différentes prises de courant soit différentes pour le diamètre dès trous sait diffé rentes pour le pas des trous.The object of the present invention is to produce a new adjustable universal plug which can be adapted to the different socket outlets, which are different for the diameter from holes known to be different for the pitch of the holes.
La fiche selon l'invention comprend une caisse renfermant les pièces de connexion électrique faisant aussi logement de deux poussoirs ou boutons opposés étant chaque poussoir lié à une goupille de manière de pouvoir approcher ou éloigner les deux goupilles entre elles étant possible réaliser aussi bien une fiche femelle.The plug according to the invention comprises a box containing the electrical connection parts also housing two pushers or opposite buttons being each pushbutton linked to a pin so as to be able to approach or move the two pins together being possible to make a plug as well female.
On réalise de cette façon la possibilité de varier la largeur d'entre-axes des goupilles ou trous pour permettre la connexion avec une prise différente.This makes it possible to vary the width between the axes of the pins or holes to allow connection with a different socket.
Les caractéristiques enoncées séront en tout cas mieux compri ses par la suivante description particularisée d'un exemple de réalisation preferentielle connu représentée dans les dessins joints dans lesquels:
- La figure 1 représente une vue de la fiche mâle du côté de connexion; la figure 2 représente une vue de plante de la fiche du fig.1; la figure 3 représente une vue de r côté latéral de la fiche de fig.1 et fig.2; la figure 4 représente une vue en perspective d'un poussoir peuvant supporter une goupille de la fiche; la figure 5 représente une vue en perspective de la fiche des figures précédentes.
- Figure 1 shows a view of the plug on the connection side; 2 shows a plant view of the plug of fig.1; 3 shows a side r side view of the plug of fig.1 and fig.2; FIG. 4 represents a perspective view of a pusher capable of supporting a pin of the plug; Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the sheet of the previous figures.
Comme représenté dans les figures, la fiche est constituée essentiellement par une caisse "A" logeant un courseur pous soir a bouton "B" sur chaque côté, étant les deux boutons glissables dans l'intérieur de la caisse pour se déplacer dans deux positions et toujours forcés vers l'extérieur par deux ressorts "C".As shown in the figures, the card consists essentially of a box "A" housing a runner for each button "B" button on each side, being the two buttons sliding in the interior of the box to move in two positions and always forced outwards by two springs "C".
La caisse "A" dans la façade de connexion,porte vissé en po sition centrale une goupille de sol 1 tandis que dans l'arriè re on a ou des trous pour connexion femelle ou,comme représenté, un système de connexion pour le cable de courant 8 dont les boites d'extremité sont connectées aux goupilles mouvables opposées 2.Box "A" in the connection front, door screwed in the central position with a
Chaqun courseur à bouton "B" peut être déplacé en opposition comme indiqué par les flèches en fig.2 d'une position éloignée à une position approchée, dans l'intérieur de la caisse "A", et chaque courseur dans la façade de connexion, porte vissé une goupille 2 latéral pour la connexion électrique en manière que poussant les boutons "B" on approche soit les boutons que les goupilles 2 dans une première position prefixée, ou on eloigne soit les boutons que les goupilles dans une deuxième position prefixée.Each racer with button "B" can be moved in opposition as indicated by the arrows in fig.2 from a distant position to an approximate position, inside the box "A", and each racer in the connection front , door screwed a
Pour cette opération chaque courseur "B" comporte une partie de poussage ou bouton 3 qui sort plus ou moins de la façade latérale 4 de la caisse "A".For this operation, each runner "B" comprises a pushing part or
La caisse "A" serre dans la façade de connexion une plaque 5 qui laisse passer les goupilles 1,2 étant les dernières guidé es par les trous allongés 6 ce qui permet le déplacement rélatif.The box "A" clamps in the connection front a
Chaque courseur "B" comportera un logement pour le ressort "C" et comportera aussi un trou 7 fileté pour le vissage de son goupille 2 tandis que dans la façade opposée comportera une borne à vis par la connexion des respectives boîtes d'extremi té du câble (dans les cas répresenté de connexion au câble) ou de connexion à courseur dans le cas de connexion femelle; dans ce deuxième cas ou prevoira notamment des trous à la place des bornes à vis placés du côté de la façade 9 de la fiche "A" selon les exigences,n'étant cela limitatif.Each runner "B" will have a housing for the spring " C " and will also include a threaded hole 7 for the screwing of its
Dans le cas spécifique de la fig.2 on a représenté en hachure ment une connection à câble mais cela peut être changé par une connextion à fiche femelle comme exposé.In the specific case of fig. 2 a hatched connection is shown as a cable connection but this can be changed by a female plug connection as shown.
Enoutre les goupilles 1,2 séront notamment coupées axialement pour s'adapter élastiquement à trous de diamètre de prise plus petit.In addition, the
La fonctionnalité du mouvement des coursoirs "B" poussant les boutons 3, sera réalisé à l'aide des ressorts opposés "C" et avec systèmes de verouillage bien connus (pas représentés) lesquels permettent avec un mouvement de poussage qui les courseurs s'approchent en approchant les goupilles 2 dans une position à pas réduit et avec une deuxième poussée on pourra, grâce aux ressorts éloigner les goupilles 2, pouvant notamment le verouillage manquer.The functionality of the movement of the runners "B" pushing the
Enoutre les ressorts d'opposition "C" peuvent être reunis en un seul ressort n'étant pas cela important pour l'invention.In addition, the opposing springs "C" can be combined into a single spring, which is not important for the invention.
Les particulièrs de réalisation pourront en tout cas changer sans pour cela modifier la substance innovatrice de l'invention comme décrit, représenté et revendiqué.The particular embodiments may in any case change without modifying the innovative substance of the invention as described, shown and claimed.
