Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to collars, commonly known as clamps, of the type used for example to ensure the connection between them of a bundle of cables in any electrical installation, and / or to ensure , in any equipment, the subjugation to any support of such a bundle of cables or of one or more other members.
  • clamps which comprise, in one piece, on the one hand a flexible strap, which has transversely, on at least one of its faces, between its two longitudinal edges, a series of notches, and, on the other hand, a closing head, which has a passage suitable for the engagement of said flexible strap, for closing, in a loop, on itself, thereof, and which is equipped with a clean pawl to cooperate in retention with the notches of said flexible strap.
  • the flexible strap of such a clamp is passed around this bundle before being engaged in the passage of its closing head.
  • the pawl elastically escapes, notch by notch, from the notches of the flexible strap, in the manner of the pawl of a ratchet wheel.
  • the pawl which is elastically articulated to the closing head which it equips, is buckled on one or more of the notches of the flexible strap, and, thus opposing any retrograde movement thereof, it maintains the closed loop under tension of the assembly around the cable harness concerned.
  • the security of the assured tightening is conditioned, on the one hand by the tensile strength of the flexible strap, and in particular of the rooting area of the latter at the closure head, and on the other hand by the resistance to the pulling of the fastening secured to the right or ratchet.
  • the longitudinal edges of the flexible strap are mutually parallel, perpendicular to the longitudinal faces of this flexible strap, so that the cross section of the latter is generally rectangular, and the same is true for the corresponding walls of the passage of the closing head.
  • the longitudinal edges of the flexible strap are partly transversely oblique with respect to each other, approaching transversely from one another in the direction opposite to the face of said strap flexible having the proper notches to cooperate with the corresponding pawl, and the passage of the closing head comprises, in correspondence with the parts thus transversely oblique one with respect to the other of said longitudinal edges of the flexible strap, two lateral walls which, on at least part of their dimensions, are similarly transversely oblique with respect to each other.
  • the closing head is open by a slot, for engagement of the flexible strap from the side, so that it is necessary to provide between it and said flexible strap means of 'own hooking to allow its locking by the latter.
  • the present invention generally relates to a different arrangement, which proves advantageously to lead to a higher tensile strength for the closure ensured at right click.
  • a clamp of the kind comprising, in one piece, on the one hand a flexible strap, which has transversely, on at least one of its faces, between its two longitudinal edges, a series of notches, and on the other share a closing head which has a passage suitable for the engagement of said flexible strap, for closing, in a loop, on itself, of the latter, and which is fitted with a pawl suitable for cooperating in retention with the notches of said flexible strap, said longitudinal edges of said flexible strap being at least partially transversely oblique with respect to each other, approaching transversely from one another in the direction opposite to the face of said strap flexible having the notches suitable for cooperating with said pawl and the passage of the closure head comprising, in correspondence with the parts thus transversely oblique to one another of the longitudinal edges of the flexible strap, two side walls which, on a e part at least of their dimensions, are similarly transversely oblique to each other (BE-A-847 500) this clamp being characterized in that the closure
  • the transversely oblique parts relative to each other of the longitudinal edges of the flexible strip are granitized, for example by electro-erosion, and / or it is similarly, at least, for the transversely oblique parts with respect to each other of the side walls of the passage of the closure head.
  • the clamp according to the invention which, in the usual way, can for example be produced by molding of any suitable synthetic material, generally comprises only one holding, on the one hand a flexible strap 10, and, on the other hand, at one of the ends thereof, a closing head 11.
  • the flexible strap 10 presents transversely, between its two longitudinal edges 13, a series of notches 15.
  • the notches 15, which are arranged in regular steps, are established between two massive edge edges 16, flush with them.
  • its lower, or inner, face 20 is planar and extends parallel to its upper face 12; as a variant, this lower, or inner, face 20 can, for example, be more or less curved, having a convexity towards the outside or inside.
  • the longitudinal edges 13 of the flexible strap 10 are at least partly transversely oblique, one with respect to the other.
  • the longitudinal edges 13 of the flexible strap 10 are transversely drawn towards each other in the direction opposite to the upper or outer face 12 of this flexible strap 10 having the notches 15.
  • the cross section of the flexible strap 10 is at least partially trapezoidal, with a base of shorter length on the side of its face opposite to that having notches.
  • the transversely oblique parts with respect to each other 21, at least, of the longitudinal edges 13 of the flexible strap 10 are granulated.
  • Such granitation which results in a certain surface roughness, and which can, for example, be obtained in the usual way by electro-erosion, can also, and preferably, extend on the underside, or interior, of the flexible strap 10.
  • the flexible strap 10 is rooted in the closure head 11 by a connecting tongue 23, of the same width, but devoid of notches, and, at its end opposite to this closure head 11, it is extended by a gripping tab 24, which is provided with notches 25, to facilitate gripping.
  • these notches 25 are established on the underside of the grip tab 24, and therefore on the face of the latter opposite the face of the flexible strap 10 having notches 15.
  • the closure head 11 of the clamp according to the invention has a passage 27 suitable for the engagement, by the gripping tab 24, of the flexible strap 10, for closure, in a loop, on it itself, of the latter, and it is equipped with a pawl 28 capable of cooperating in retention with the notches 15 of said flexible strap 10.
  • the passage 27 of the closure head 11 extends generally perpendicular to the general mean plane at rest of the flexible strap 10, so that, as will appear below, when the latter is closed in a loop, its two ends, namely that by which it is rooted to the closure head 11, on the one hand, and that by which it is engaged in the passage 27 of this closure head 11, on the other hand, are sensibly perpendicular to each other.
  • the clamp that is the subject of the invention is a collar of the type with a "perpendicular" head.
  • the invention extends equally to clamps of the type with "tangential" head, that is to say clamps in which the passage of the closing head extends substantially parallel to the general plan at rest of the flexible strap 10, the two ends of the latter then being generally parallel to one another when it is closed in a loop on itself.
  • the closing head 11 forms a frame, of generally rectangular outline.
  • the two transverse edges of this frame that is to say those of its edges which are substantially perpendicular to the flexible strap 10, are massive and extend at full height.
  • the side edges of the frame thus forming the closure head 11 that is to say those of the edges of this frame which are substantially parallel to the flexible strap 10, each have, in their middle zone, a wide notch 29.
  • this notch 29 is open in the direction of that of the faces of the closure head 11 on which the outlet of the passage 27 which this closure head 11 opens, in the direction of engagement of the flexible strap 10.
  • the flexible strap 10 is rooted in the closure head 11 between the faces of this closure head 11 on which the passage 27 which the latter comprises opens.
  • the closing head 11 While remaining massive, and thus robust and relatively rigid, the closing head 11 is therefore advantageously lightened, and this results in particular in a significant saving of material, without affecting the mechanical characteristics of the assembly.
  • the passage 27 of the closure head 11 is delimited, overall, by two transverse walls 32, 33, substantially perpendicular to the flexible strap 10, the first relatively distant from this flexible strap 10, the second relatively close to the latter, and by two similar side walls 34.
  • the pawl 28 extends from the transverse wall 32 of the passage 27 of the closure head 11, that is to say from that of the transverse walls of the passage 27 which, as specified above, is the furthest from the flexible strap 10.
  • the pawl 28 comes in one piece from the wall 32, by a zone of reduced thickness 36 forming a hinge.
  • the pawl 28 extends entirely inside the passage 27 of the closure head 11, substantially parallel to its transverse walls 32, 33.
  • the pawl 28 does not protrude from the closure head 11.
  • the tilting, in one direction, of the pawl 28 is delimited by the corresponding transverse wall 32 of the passage 27 of the closing head 11, this pawl 28 being able to come directly to bear against this transverse wall 32, from which it is normally only separated by a blind notch 40.
  • the pawl 28 comprises, in the embodiment shown, two teeth 43, by which it is adapted to cooperate in retention with the notches 15 of the flexible strap 10.
  • the two lateral walls 34 of the passage 27 of the closure head 11 are, on at least part of their dimensions, transversely oblique to each other.
  • each of these side walls 34 has a part 44, substantially parallel to the flexible strap 10 and a part 45 oblique thereon.
  • the transversely oblique parts with respect to each other 45 which thus comprise the side walls 34 of the passage 27 of the closure head 11 come closer transversely from each other in the direction opposite to the pawl 28.
  • the passage 27 of the closure head 11 has, internally, two coplanar shoulders 47 each disposed respectively on either side of the pawl 28, FIGS. 4, 5 and 7.
  • these shoulders 47 are sufficiently close to the free end of the pawl 28 to be suitable for supporting the flexible strap 10 during the engagement of the latter in said passage 27.
  • these shoulders 47 are in an offset relative to the corresponding transverse wall 32 of this passage 27, in the direction of the opposite transverse wall 33 thereof.
  • the clamp according to the invention is passed around this bundle of cables 50, and, by the gripping tab 24, its flexible strap 10 is engaged in the passage 7 of its closure head 11.
  • this flexible strap 10 comes, by its edge edges 16, to bear against the shoulders 47 provided, for this purpose, in the passage 27 of the closure head 11, FIG. 9.
  • the pawl 28 elastically escapes, notch by notch, from the notches 15 of the flexible strap 10, its corresponding tilting towards the rear being limited by the transverse wall 32 of the passage 27 of the closure head 11.
  • transversely oblique parts 21 of the longitudinal edges 13 of this flexible strap 10 then come into contact with the corresponding transversely oblique parts 45 of the side walls 34 of the passage 27.
  • this lashing strap 10 transversely takes an arrow, such a day can, at least locally, disappear.
  • the present invention is moreover not limited to the embodiment shown, but encompasses any variant.
  • the expression "generally oblique" applied to all or part of the longitudinal edges of the flexible strap does not necessarily imply that said part of said edges is flat, as more particularly envisaged in the embodiment shown; on the contrary, it could for example be at least partly curved.
  • the part concerned with the cross section of the flexible strap could for example be triangular.
  • the field of application of the invention is not limited to clamps whose closing head is of the "perpendicular" type, but on the contrary extends equally to clamps whose closing head is of the "tangential" type.
  • the field of application of the invention is also not limited to clamps with external notches, that is to say clamps whose notches 15 of the flexible strap 10 are directed towards 1, external during their implementation, as described above, but extends on the contrary as well to the clamps with internal notching, that is to say the clamps whose notches are then directed inward during such an implementation.
  • notches can be provided on either of the faces of the flexible strap 10, the notches thus provided on the underside, or interior, of the latter being able to cooperate with, for example, a tooth established opposite the pawl 28, in the passage 27 of the closing head 11.
