Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clamp connector, overmolded, for electrical ducting of the type comprising at least one elastic conductive clamp in the shape of a U, suitable for clamping, with a given contact pressure, electrical conductors.
  • This connector is more particularly intended to come to be mounted on an electrical pipe and consequently comprises hooking means on a complementary profile provided on the pipe.
  • hooking means are known in themselves and an embodiment of these means is described in patent GB 1,196,099.
  • the invention therefore more particularly aims at the production of a clamp connector, overmolded, in which the elastic clamps exert a given contact pressure after overmolding.
  • clamp connector overmolded, comprising an overmolded housing provided with latching clips and latching wings, a plurality of conductors, one of which is connected to an elastic and conductive grounding blade, and the others. are connected to elastic and conductive elements capable of pinching, with a given contact pressure, stripped electrical conductors of dimension d, housed in an electricity distribution pipe, said elastic and conductive elements having a U-shape whose branches are separated by a value e less than d.
  • Said elastic and conductive elements each consist of a U-shaped elastic element with contiguous branches, the branches of which have been separated from the value e during the overmolding of the housing.
  • FIG. 1 represents a clamp connection element 1, constituted by a strip of elastic conductive material, cut and folded in a U shape on the central part of which a conductive wire 2 has been welded.
  • This connection element comprises at each end of the folded parts inside in the direction of the central portion of the U. These folded parts are in contact at rest and move apart to allow a conductor 3 of dimension d to pass. These folded parts pinch the conductor 3, cylindrical or bar-shaped.
  • the length 1 of the branches of the U is calculated so that there is the desired and sufficient contact pressure on the conductor.
  • connection element with contiguous branches, the central part of the U of which would be embedded and immobilized by overmolding 4 In this case, the length of branch subjected to bending would be reduced to 1 '. This would lead us, for clamp connectors whose dimensions have been calculated to optimize the amount of material used, to exceed the elastic limit of the material used.
  • connectors as shown in FIG. 2 are produced, the branches of which are spaced by a value e less than d.
  • e the number of branches spaced by a connector 1 with contiguous branches of FIG. 1
  • e the value of the branches
  • FIG. 3 represents a molded multiple connector, according to the preceding method.
  • This connector comprises elastic strips 1, connected by welding to conductive wires, and an elastic strip 5 intended to come into contact with the metal profile of an electricity distribution pipe or a specialized protective conductor.
  • This blade 5 is welded to a conductive wire 2, connected to the ground.
  • the whole is included in a molded case 4, taking care, as before, to separate the elastic blades 1 to establish a prestress.
  • the housing 4 also includes claws 41, allowing attachment to the profile complementary to that of the claws, provided on the pipe, by means of the inclined plane 410 and the shoulder 411.
  • This claw 41 is connected to the body of the housing 4, by a veil 43 giving the elasticity to the two branches of the claw.
  • Two upper portions 42, integral with the claw, make it possible to separate the lower branches 41 to remove the connector from the profile.
  • a lug 44 integral with the housing, makes it possible, by its shape and its size, to ensure that the connectors are always mounted in the same direction on the pipe.
