Description

La présente invention concerne un connecteur électrique perfectionné qui peut être notamment utilisé pour réaliser des douilles porte-lampe pour des guirlandes électriques. Une telle douille est constituée par un connecteur électrique qui comprend généralement une partie isolante cylindrique et deux éléments femelles conducteurs situés chacun dans une alvéole ménagée dans cette partie isolante.The present invention relates to an improved electrical connector which can be used in particular for producing lamp holder sockets for electric strings. Such a socket is constituted by an electrical connector which generally comprises a cylindrical insulating part and two female conductive elements each located in a cell formed in this insulating part.

La décoration, par exemple, des sapins ou des vitrines pour les fêtes de fin d'année fait notamment appel à l'utilisation de guirlandes électriques. Ce matériel remplace maintenant les traditionnelles bougies dont l'utilisation fut la cause de nombreux accidents : incendies, enfants brûlés, etc. Mais l'emploi des guirlandes électriques présente néanmoins quelques inconvénients comme par exemple des courts- circuits qui peuvent entraîner les mêmes accidents que les bougies, ou réchauffement au niveau des douilles porte-lampe qui peut devenir si intense qu'il provoque un court-circuit.The decoration, for example, of fir trees or shop windows for the end of year celebrations notably calls for the use of electric garlands. This material now replaces the traditional candles whose use was the cause of many accidents: fires, burned children, etc. However, the use of electric strings nevertheless has some drawbacks such as short circuits which can lead to the same accidents as candles, or heating at the level of the lamp holder sockets which can become so intense that it causes a short circuit. .

Aussi un des buts de la présente invention est-il un connecteur électrique qui ne présente pas les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.Also one of the objects of the present invention is an electrical connector which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above.

Un autre but de l'invention est un connecteur électrique dans lequel la fixation des pièces mâles ou broches dans les éléments situés dans les alvéoles puisse être as.surée même en cas de tolérances importantes.Another object of the invention is an electrical connector in which the fixing of the male parts or pins in the elements located in the cells can be ensured even in the event of large tolerances.

Un objet de la présente invention est un connecteur électrique qui possède des qualités d'élasticité et de conductivité ninterférant pas avec celles d'isolation.An object of the present invention is an electrical connector which has elasticity and conductivity qualities which do not interfere with those of insulation.

Ces buts et cet objet, ainsi que d'autres qui appa- raitront par la suite, sont atteints par un connecteur électrique selon la présente invention qui comprend au moins un élément conducteur qui est disposé dans une alvéole ménagée dans un isolant électrique, qui comporte a une extrémité au moins une virole de sertissage; cette alvéole comporte deux parties cylindriques, une supérieure et une inférieure,situées de part et d'autre d'une partie intermédiaire dont le diamètre est inférieur à chacune de ces deux parties et est au moins égal à la largeur de l'élément conducteur,et cet élément conducteur comportant, en outre, à son autre extrémité un manchon cylindrique et deux languettes élastiques qui sont situées entre ces deux extrémités et qui coopèrent avec un épaulement formé entre la partie intermédiaire et la partie inférieure de l'alvéole.These aims and this object, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved by an electrical connector according to the present invention which comprises at least one conductive element which is arranged in a cell formed in an electrical insulator, which comprises at one end at least one crimping ferrule; this cell comprises two cylindrical parts, an upper and a lower, located on either side of an intermediate part whose diameter is less than each of these two parts and is at least equal to the width of the conductive element, and this element conductor further comprising at its other end a cylindrical sleeve and two elastic tabs which are located between these two ends and which cooperate with a shoulder formed between the intermediate part and the lower part of the cell.

Avantageusement ce manchon cylindrique est constitué par deux branches sensiblement hémi-cylindriqueset séparées l'une de l'autre par une fente.Advantageously, this cylindrical sleeve is constituted by two substantially semi-cylindrical branches separated from one another by a slot.

En particulier une de ces branches comporte à sa base un ergot qui s'étend vers l'intérieur par rapport à l'élément conducteur et qui lui est sensiblement perpendiculaire.In particular one of these branches has at its base a lug which extends inwardly relative to the conductive element and which is substantially perpendicular thereto.

Avantageusement la partie supérieur de l'alvéole comporte sur toute sa hauteur une rainure verticale dans laquelle peut glisser cet ergot.Advantageously, the upper part of the cell has over its entire height a vertical groove in which this pin can slide.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, lorsque l'élément conducteur est mis en place dans l'alvéole, cet ergot vient au contact d'un épaulement déterminé par la partie intermédiaire et la partie supérieure.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, when the conductive element is placed in the cell, this lug comes into contact with a shoulder determined by the intermediate part and the upper part.

En particulier le manchon cylindrique n'est pas au contact des parois de la partie supérieur de l'alvéole.In particular, the cylindrical sleeve is not in contact with the walls of the upper part of the cell.

Avantageusement, l'élément conducteur comprend deux viroles de sertissage.Advantageously, the conductive element comprises two crimping ferrules.

Une application de la présente invention consiste en la réalisation de douilles porte-lampe notamment pour guirlandes électriques comprenant de tels connecteurs.An application of the present invention consists in the production of lamp holder sockets in particular for electric strings comprising such connectors.

La description qui va suivre et qui ne présente aucun caractère limitatif, doit être lue en regard des figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • - la figure 1 représente en élévation un connecteur électrique selon la présente invention.
  • - la figure 2 représente en perspective un élément conducteur compris dans le connecteur électrique de la figure 1.
The description which follows and which is in no way limiting, should be read with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • - Figure 1 shows in elevation an electrical connector according to the present invention.
  • - Figure 2 shows in perspective a conductive element included in the electrical connector of Figure 1.

Nous supposerons que l'élément conducteur et le connecteur électrique sont disposés verticalement comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, ce qui donne un sens aux termes tels que "supérieur", "inférieur" ou "latéral" qui seront utilisés ci-après.We will assume that the conductive element and the electrical connector are arranged vertically as shown in Figures 1 and 2, which gives meaning to terms such as "upper", "lower" or "lateral" which will be used below.

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur la figure 1, un connecteur électrique selon la présente invention est constitué par un élément conducteur désigné par le repère 1 qui est situé dans une alvéole 2 ménagé dans un isolant électrique 3.As can be seen in FIG. 1, an electrical connector according to the present invention consists of a conductive element designated by the reference 1 which is located in a cell 2 formed in an electrical insulator 3.

Cet élément conducteur 1 qui est réalisé par exemple à partir d'une feuille métallique notamment par découpe et enroulement, comporte à son extrémité supérieure un manchon cylindrique 4 et à son extrémité inférieure une première virole 5 de sertissage.This conductive element 1 which is produced for example from a metal sheet in particular by cutting and winding, comprises at its upper end a cylindrical sleeve 4 and at its lower end a first ferrule 5 for crimping.

Le manchon cylindrique 4 est constitué par deux branches 6 et 7 sensiblement hémi-cylindriques et séparées l'une de l'autre par une fente 8. Une de ces branches, la branche 6 dans cet exemple de réalisation,comporte à sa base un ergot latéral 9 qui s'étend vers l'extérieur et qui lui est sensiblement perpendiculaire.The cylindrical sleeve 4 is constituted by two branches 6 and 7 substantially semi-cylindrical and separated from each other by a slot 8. One of these branches, branch 6 in this embodiment, has at its base a lug lateral 9 which extends outwards and which is substantially perpendicular thereto.

L'élément conducteur 1 comprend une deuxième virole de sertissage 10 située un peu au-dessus de la première virole 5. Ces deux viroles sont destinées à la fixation d'un fil conducteur 11 la première virole 5 est sertie autour de la partie isolante 12 de ce fil et la seconde virole 10 autour de la partie conductrice 13 de ce fil conducteur 11.The conductive element 1 comprises a second crimping ferrule 10 situated a little above the first ferrule 5. These two ferrules are intended for fixing a conductive wire 11 the first ferrule 5 is crimped around the insulating part 12 of this wire and the second ferrule 10 around the conductive part 13 of this conductive wire 11.

Entre la seconde virole de sertissage 10 et le manchon cylindrique 4, l'élément conducteur 1 comporte deux languettes élastiques 14 et 15 destinées à se déporter vers l'extérieur : c'est-à-dire qu'elles forments avec cet élément un angle aigu tourné vers le haut.Between the second crimping ferrule 10 and the cylindrical sleeve 4, the conductive element 1 comprises two elastic tabs 14 and 15 intended to move outward: that is to say that they form an angle with this element acute turned upwards.

Quant à l'alvéole 2 ménagée dans l'isolant 3, elle est constituée de trois parties sensiblement cylindriques; une partie supérieure 16 et une partie inférieure 17 disposées de Part et d'autre d'une partie intermédiaire 18 dont le diamètre est inférieur à celui de chacune d'elles. Ceci détermine donc deux épaulements 19 et 20 respectivement entre la partie supérieure 16 et la partie intermédiaire 18 et entre la partie inférieure 17 et la partie intermédiaire 18. Selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, les parties supérieure 16 et inférieure 17 ont sensiblement le même diamètre. En outre le diamètre de la partie intermédiaire 18 est supérieure à celui de l'élément conducteur 1.As for the cell 2 formed in the insulator 3, it consists of three substantially cylindrical parts; an upper part 16 and a lower part 17 arranged on either side of an intermediate part 18 whose diameter is less than that of each of them. This therefore determines two shoulders 19 and 20 respectively between the upper part 16 and the intermediate part 18 and between the lower part 17 and the intermediate part 18. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper 16 and lower 17 parts have substantially the same diameter. In addition, the diameter of the intermediate part 18 is greater than that of the conductive element 1.

De plus,la partie supérieure 16 comprend sur toute sa hauteur une rainure verticale 21.In addition, the upper part 16 includes a vertical groove 21 over its entire height.

La mise en place de l'élément conducteur 1 dans l'alvéole 2 s'effectue de la manière suivanteThe implementation of the conductive element 1 in the cell 2 is carried out as follows

On sertit cet élément l,grâce aux viroles 5 et 10, autour du fil conducteur 11 qui a été préalablement enfilé dans l'alvéole 2 . Puis on enfonce du haut vers le bas cet élément conducteur en faisant glisser l'ergot 9 dans la rainure verticale 21, jusqu'à ce que celui-ci vienne au contact de l'épaulement 19.This element 1 is crimped, thanks to the ferrules 5 and 10, around the conductive wire 11 which has previously been threaded into the cell 2. Then this conductive element is pressed from top to bottom by sliding the lug 9 in the vertical groove 21, until the latter comes into contact with the shoulder 19.

Au cours de ce mouvement, les languettes élastiques 14 et 15 sont resserrées contre l'élément 1 lors du franchissement de la partie intermédiaire 18 grâce à l'épaulement 19. Ellss'en écartent après avoir franchi l'épaulement 20, contre lequel elles prennent appui si on veut sortir l'élément conducteur 1 de l'alvéole 2.During this movement, the elastic tongues 14 and 15 are tightened against the element 1 when crossing the intermediate part 18 thanks to the shoulder 19. They move away from it after having crossed the shoulder 20, against which they take support if you want to remove the conductive element 1 from the socket 2.

Dans ces conditions et du fait des dimensions respectives des divers composants, l'élément conducteur 1 ne peut ni être enfoncé plus avant dans l'alvéole 2 puisque l'ergot 9 bute contre l'épaulement 19,ni être sorti de cette alvéole 2 puisque les languettes élastiques 14 et 15 prennent appui contre l'épaulement 20.Under these conditions and due to the respective dimensions of the various components, the conductive element 1 can neither be pushed further into the cell 2 since the lug 9 abuts against the shoulder 19, nor be out of this cell 2 since the elastic tongues 14 and 15 bear against the shoulder 20.

Comme notamment la partie supérieure 16 est d'un diamètre supérieur à celui du manchon cylindrique 4, ainsi que cela est décrit ci-dessus, on remarquera que ce manchon cylindrique n'est au contact ni des parois de cette partie cylindrique ni de l'épaulement 19 sauf par l'entremise de l'ergot 9.As in particular the upper part 16 is of a diameter greater than that of the cylindrical sleeve 4, as described above, it will be noted that this cylindrical sleeve is not in contact with either the walls of this cylindrical part or the shoulder 19 except through lug 9.

Lorsqu'une pièce mâle est enfoncée dans le manchon cylindrique 4, les branches 6 et 7 s'écartent l'une de l'autre du fait de leur caractéristique élastique propre: la pression de contact de ces branches sur la partie mâle est dans ces conditions indépendante des parois de l'alvéole 2.When a male part is pressed into the cylindrical sleeve 4, the branches 6 and 7 deviate from one another due to their own elastic characteristic: the contact pressure of these branches on the male part is under these conditions independent of the walls of cell 2.

Des connecteurs selon la présente invention peuvent être notamment utilisés pour la constitution de douilles porte-lampe pour guirlandes électriques. Comme de telles guirlandes peuvent comprendre des douilles porte-lampe ordinaire et/ou clignotante, il y a lieu de munir ces douilles d'un dispositif de détrompage afin que dans une douille porte-lampe ordinaire on ne puisse monter une lampe clignotante.Connectors according to the present invention can be used in particular for the constitution of lamp holder sockets for electric strings. As such garlands may include ordinary lamp holders and / or flashing, it is necessary to provide these sockets with a polarizing device so that in an ordinary lamp holder can not mount a flashing lamp.

Pour ce faire, par exemple, on réalise sur chaque douille porte-lampe clignotante une échancrure latérale dans laquelle s'engage un ergot de même forme dont est pourvu le culot des lampes clignotantes. Par contre une douille porte-lampe ordinaire comporte deux échancrures par exemple diamétralement opposées qui coopèrent avec deux ergots disposés de même manière sur le culot des lampes ordinaires.To do this, for example, a lateral notch is produced on each flashing lamp holder socket in which engages a lug of the same shape which is fitted with the base of the flashing lamps. On the other hand, an ordinary lamp holder socket has two notches, for example diametrically opposite, which cooperate with two lugs arranged in the same way on the base of ordinary lamps.

On notera que de telles douilles porte-lampe comprenant des connecteurs selon la présente invention présentent des qualités de sécurité jamais atteinte jusqu'alors pour ce type de produit.It will be noted that such lamp holder sockets comprising connectors according to the present invention have safety qualities never achieved until now for this type of product.
