Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connection piece in the form of an adapter, so that, for example, when traveling abroad with the electrical plugs equipped in the respective home country, electrical (line) erate without protective contact in the manner of an adapter plug also present in other countries and continents To be able to use sockets.
  • the object of the invention is to develop an electrical connecting piece by means of which the plug systems which are available worldwide can be converted in a practical and hazard-safe manner to the possibility of drawing current from a specific type of socket. It should be a compact article of daily use which does not permit manual intervention in its contact system and which is completely safe to touch when in use. This object is achieved in an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features specified in the characterizing part.
  • the connecting piece according to the invention advantageously presents itself as a handy accessory part which, depending on the type of plug-in system available on site, can be arranged with the corresponding plug pin in one of the permanently installed sockets or possibly also in a flying coupling piece can be inserted in order to be able to use the domestic socket included in the same for connecting an electronic device after adjusting the marked rotating body in the direction of the removal parts.
  • the plug-in system selector included in the connection piece via a switch-on and switch-off effect which is useful at times, ensures that the plug connector arrangements which are in each case unused stand out from the outside absolutely free of tension.
  • the connector body for a limited area of application of the connecting piece and only three or four connector pin arrangements can be designed to be tri-or tetragonal-prismatic in its geometric space with the same advantages, or the adjustable sockets provided on its top and / or base surface be designed according to their system according to or different, without thereby coming out of the scope of the invention.
  • the feature of claim 2 is directed to the appropriate design of the movable connection and contact parts of the
  • the two contact pieces inserted underneath the respective insertion openings and molded onto the center of the web attachments on the rotating body are likewise made of an elongated, U-shaped folded sheet brass strip.
  • the parallel legs that are reduced over the web-like cross legs interconnected longitudinal legs of these socket contact pieces arched against each other and each provided with two opposite cross-cuts.
  • two other connector pairs eigen ⁇ constantly sprung into form.
  • the outer longitudinal limbs of the socket contact pieces sit over a punched-out area, each projecting obliquely forward
  • Non-contact grinding contacts continue to come into conductive contact with the fixed contact pieces of the various plug pin arrangements, which are located on the inner wall of the hollow cylindrical opening of the connector body, depending on the setting, under spring tension in the assembled state of the connector.
  • the rotating body is designed to the existing pin arrangements of To connect plug body on one or on the two plug-free sides of the connector with a socket or with two sockets of the same system or different systems.
  • the rotating body is composed of two molded parts made of insulating material which are movably guided on both sides within the plug body and which, for example, engage in a form-fitting manner by means of two supporting webs located opposite one another in the edge region between the socket contact pieces, while a third, integrally molded web is used to screw the molded parts together during assembly from the outside.
  • one of the molded parts is provided with two insertion openings for a contour or protective contact plug, while the other molded part can have four insertion openings lying in pairs for the insertion of two European flat plugs.
  • an electrical connecting piece is shown in the attached drawing, which enables the connection of an electrical device equipped with a 2-pole Konturen ⁇ or European plug without protective contact to all internationally standardized plug systems. It shows:
  • FIG. 1 shows the top view of the cover surface of the connecting piece with the socket for the contour plug
  • FIG. 2 shows the view of the base area with the sockets for two European flat plugs
  • Fig. 3 shows the connector as shown in Fig. 1 with the rotary body molding removed.
  • the connector body (1) of the connecting piece has the shape of a straight, five-sided prism and points within it Central region a cylindrical recess continuous from the top surface to the base surface.
  • one of the different plug pin arrangements (2) is permanently embedded, the pole contact connections of which run out on the inner wall of the cylindrical recess on a circular path in fixed contact pieces (3).
  • the molded part (7) of the rotating body which is provided with two insertion openings for the plug pins of a contour plug, is at the same time provided with a (arrow) marked handle border (8), under which the locking arrangement shown in partial section in FIG. 1 of the drawing ( 9) is in cooperation with the plug body (1).
  • the drawing shows without further information that the combination of the various plug and socket contact elements (2, 5) shown here only as an example can be varied depending on national requirements and the connector due to its design furthermore the inclusion of another contact element, eg of an additional contact.

Abstract

Afin de pouvoir connecter selon les besoins des (petits) appareils électriques ayant par exemple une configuration à deux fiches ou des fiches plates européenes à tous les systèmes de connexion standardisés au niveau international, un connecteur aisé à manier ayant la forme d'un prisme pentagonal comprend sur ses surfaces latérales des agencements de broches enfichables (2) de cinq systèmes différents de connexion et contient un corps rotatif (4, 7) comprenant dans la zone des surfaces supérieure et/ou inférieure du connecteur des prises femelles pour (deux) autres systèmes de connexion. Celles-ci peuvent être manuellement mises en contact (3, 5, 6) par encliquetage (8, 9) avec l'agencement de broches (2) dont on a momentanément besoin, les broches restantes étant par là même absolument dépourvues de courant.
