Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bezeichnungsträger für elektrische Leiter, mit einem zweiarmigen Trägerkörper, mit insgesamt C-Form und einer Maulöffnung, wobei an einem der Arme im Maulöffnungsbereich ein Doppelarmbügel elastisch drehbar angeordnet ist, dessen einer Arm ein Klemmstück für den elektrischen Leiter bildet und dessen anderer Arm in der Schließstellung an dem Maulöffnungsrand des anderen Armes angedrückt ist.The invention relates to a designation carrier for electrical conductors, with a two-armed carrier body, with a total of C-shape and a mouth opening, wherein a double arm bracket is elastically rotatably arranged on one of the arms in the mouth opening area, one arm of which forms a clamping piece for the electrical conductor and the other Arm is pressed in the closed position on the mouth opening edge of the other arm.

Bei einem bekannten Bezeichnungsträger der gattungsgemäßen Art (EP-A-0 295 542) sind an dem oben liegenden Trägerkörper, der der Aufnahme der Bezeichnung dient, beidseitig nach unten weisende im wesentlichen identisch ausgebildete, elastisch verformbare Arme vorgesehen, so daß sich insgesamt die Form eines nach unten offenen C ergibt. Einer der beiden Arme trägt dann den Doppelarmbügel. Ein solcher Bezeichnungsträger kann von oben auf einen elektrischen Leiter gedrückt werden, bzw. in einen solchen Bezeichnungsträger kann von unten ein elektrischer Leiter eingedrückt werden, wobei sich die beiden Arme elastisch aufweiten können und automatisch beim Zusammenfügevorgang der an dem Ende des einen Armes angelenkte Doppelarmbügel in der Weise zur Wirkung kommt, daß sein einer Arm klemmend auf den innen liegenden Leiter einwirkt, während der andere Arm des Doppelarmbügels die nach unten weisende Maulöffnung schließt. Bei einfachem Montagevorgang findet der Bezeichnungsträger auf dem Leiter einen gewissen Halt. Der für eine unbeabsichtigte Loslösung des Bezeichnungsträgers vom elektrischen Leiter kritische Bereich unterhalb des Leiters ist jedoch nur durch den Doppelarmbügel am unteren Ende eines der beiden elastisch ausgelegten Arme verschlossen. Bei einem anderen bekannten Bezeichnungsträger (DE-C-33 43 064) ist eine Ausführungsvorm vorgesehen, bei dem der Trägerkörper zwei elastisch verformbare Arme hat, die den Leiter umgreifen können und bei denen an ihrer Unterkante Formschlußverriegelungselemente vorgesehen sind, die im Bereich unterhalb des Leiters verrastet werden können. Diese zusätzliche Verrastung erfordert einen separaten Arbeitsgang, nämlich das seitliche Zusammendrücken der Flügel unterhalb des Leiters.In a known label carrier of the generic type (EP-A-0 295 542) are provided on the top support body, which serves to accommodate the label, on both sides facing downward identically formed, elastically deformable arms, so that overall the shape results in a C open at the bottom. One of the two arms then carries the double arm bracket. Such a label can be pressed from above onto an electrical conductor, or an electrical conductor can be pressed into such a label from below, whereby the two arms can expand elastically and automatically when the double arm bracket articulated at the end of one arm is joined The effect is that one arm clamps on the inner conductor, while the other arm of the double arm bracket closes the mouth opening pointing downwards. With a simple assembly process, the label holder finds a certain hold on the conductor. The area below the conductor, which is critical for unintentional detachment of the label from the electrical conductor, is only closed by the double arm bracket at the lower end of one of the two elastically designed arms. In another known designation carrier (DE-C-33 43 064) an embodiment is provided in which the carrier body has two elastically deformable arms which can grip around the conductor and in which form-locking elements are provided on its lower edge, which are in the region below the conductor can be locked. This additional locking requires a separate operation, namely the side compression of the wings below the conductor.

Dies ist einerseits zeitraubend und bei den normalerweise gegebenen sehr beengten räumlichen Verhältnissen umständlich, soweit es im Hinblick auf eben diese räumlich äußerst beengten Verhältnisse überhaupt durchführbar ist. Die Länge der elastischen Arme ist relativ groß, so daß ein solcher Bezeichnungsträger einen recht hohen Platzbedarf hat.On the one hand, this is time-consuming and cumbersome given the normally very cramped spatial conditions, insofar as it is feasible in view of these extremely cramped conditions. The length of the elastic arms is relatively large, so that such a label has a very large amount of space.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bezeichnungsträger der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, der bei einfachem konstruktiven Aufbau beim Montagevorgang des Aufsetzens auf den zu kennzeichnenden Leiter auf diesem, auch bei Leitern eines relativ großen Durchmesserbereiches, einen sicheren Halt findet.The present invention has for its object to provide a label of the generic type, which with a simple constructive structure during the assembly process of placing on the conductor to be labeled on this, even with conductors of a relatively large diameter range, finds a secure hold.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht darin, daß der eine Arm mit dem Tragkörper ein starres C-förmiges Tragstück mit einem unteren, den Leiter untergreifenden Bodenbereich bildet und der andere Arm, der den Doppelarmbügel trägt, als elastisches, an den oberen Maulöffnungsrand des Tragstückes angeordnetes Schließstück für die Maulöffnung ausgebildet ist.The solution according to the invention is that one arm with the support body forms a rigid C-shaped support piece with a lower, under the ladder bottom area and the other arm, which carries the double arm bracket, as an elastic, arranged on the upper mouth opening edge of the support piece for the mouth opening is formed.

Beim Aufsetzen eines solchen Bezeichnungsträgers kann der elektrische Leiter zunächst durch die Außenseite des Bodenbereiches des starren C-förmigen Tragstückes auf den unteren seitlichen Maulöffnungsbereich zu gleiten, trifft hier dann auf den untern Arm des Doppelarmbügels als Teil des elastisch die Maulöffnung verschließenden Armes, so daß dieser als Schließstück wirkende Arm insgesamt elastisch nach außen gedrückt wird, bis der elektrische Leiter über den untern Maulöffnungsrand des C-förmigen starren Tragstückes hinweg in das Innere des Maules des C-förmigen starren Tragstückes eintreten kann. Dort trifft er auf den anderen, als Klemmstück wirkenden Arm des Doppelarmbügels, der dabei nach innen oben gedrückt wird dergestalt, daß nach Aufnahme des elektrischen Leiters im inneren Bodenbereich des C-förmigen starren Tragstückes von dem Klemmstück der Bezeichnungsträger insgesamt elastisch federnd an den elektrischen Leiter angedrückt wird und von dem Klemmstück auch elastisch federnd der andere Arm des Doppelarmbügels in Schließlage an den unteren Maulöffnungsrand gedrückt wird. Ein gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Abziehen des Bezeichnungsträgers funktionssicherer Halt ergibt sich dabei dadurch, daß der untere innere Bodenbereich des starren C-förmigen Tragstückes ein starres, stabiles, den innen liegenden Leiter völlig untergreifendes Gegenlager bildet, an das die Andrückung mittels des Klemmstückes stattfindet. Einem unbeabsichtigten Herabfallen des Bezeichnungsträgers vom Leiter steht dabei auch die Andrückung des anderen Armes des Doppelarmbügels an den unteren Maulöffnungsrand entgegen. Ein funktionssicherer Halt ergibt sich auch für elektrische Leiter recht beträchtlich unterschiedlicher Durchmesser, da das starre C-förmige Tragstück eine Dimensionierung bis hin zu relativ großen Leiterdurchmessern ermöglicht, immer der untergreifende Bodenbereich vorhanden ist und auch die Klemmwirkung des Doppelarmbügels als Teil des elastischen, die Maulöffnung insgesamt verschließenden Armes für einen großen Leiterdurchmesserbereich hinreichend zur Wirkung gebracht werden kann. Der Bezeichnungsträger hat auch noch einen denkbar einfachen konstruktiven Aufbau mit geringem Platzbedarf und benötigt außer der Aufsetzbewegung keine weiteren Montagevorgänge.When putting on such a label, the electrical conductor can first slide through the outside of the bottom area of the rigid C-shaped support piece onto the lower side mouth opening area, then meets the lower arm of the double arm bracket as part of the arm which elastically closes the mouth opening, so that this arm acting as a striker is elastically pushed outwards until the electrical conductor can enter the inside of the mouth of the C-shaped rigid support piece via the lower mouth opening edge of the C-shaped rigid support piece. There he meets the other, acting as a clamp arm of the double arm bracket, which is pressed inwards upwards in such a way that after receiving the electrical conductor in the inner bottom region of the C-shaped rigid support piece from the clamp of the label carrier, overall elastic resilient to the electrical conductor pressed is and the other arm of the double arm bracket is pressed in the closed position on the lower mouth opening edge by the clamping piece also resiliently. A functionally reliable hold against unintentional removal of the label results from the fact that the lower inner bottom region of the rigid C-shaped support piece forms a rigid, stable, completely engaging counter-bearing, to which the pressing takes place by means of the clamping piece. An inadvertent falling of the label from the conductor is also opposed to the pressing of the other arm of the double arm bracket to the lower mouth opening edge. A reliable hold also results for electrical conductors of considerably different diameters, since the rigid C-shaped support piece allows dimensioning up to relatively large conductor diameters, the under-reaching floor area is always available and also the clamping effect of the double arm bracket as part of the elastic, the mouth opening overall closing arm can be brought to a sufficient effect for a large conductor diameter range. The label also has a very simple construction with a small footprint and requires no further assembly processes apart from the touchdown movement.

Der Bezeichnungsträger gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel hat einen Trägerkörper 1, der zusammen mit einem Arm 2 ein C-förmiges, starres Tragstück bildet, wobei der untere Innenraum dieses C-förmigen Tragstückes nach dem Aufsetzen dieses Bezeichnungsträgers auf einen elektrischen Leiter eben diesen elektrischen Leiter 3 aufnimmt. Der Bodenbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 umgreift in der Montagelage (Fig. 6) die Unterseite des elektrischen Leiters 3 vollständig und bildet für diesen ein starres stabiles Gegenlager.The label holder according to the exemplary embodiment has a support body 1 which, together with an arm 2, forms a C-shaped, rigid support piece, the lower interior of this C-shaped support piece receiving this label holder on an electrical conductor just this electrical conductor 3. The bottom region of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 completely engages around the underside of the electrical conductor 3 in the assembly position (FIG. 6) and forms a rigid, stable counter bearing for the latter.

Die einseitige Maulöffnung des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 ist durch einen weiteren Arm 4 des Bezeichnungsträgers verschließbar. Dazu ist dieser Arm 4 elastisch an dem oberen Maulöffnungsrand des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 angelenkt, wobei zweckmäßig eine einstückige Ausbildung erfolgt und die erforderliche elastische Verformbarkeit unter Zugrundelegung der Elastizitätswerte des Herstellungsmateriales, vorzugsweise eines elektrisch isolierenden Kunststoffes, durch die Wandstärke in der Anlenkzone, die insoweit dann Scharnierzone ist, erreicht wird.The one-sided mouth opening of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 can be closed by a further arm 4 of the label holder. For this purpose, this arm 4 is articulated elastically on the upper mouth opening edge of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2, a one-piece design expediently taking place and the required elastic deformability on the basis of the elasticity values of the production material, preferably an electrically insulating plastic, by the wall thickness in the articulation zone , which is then the hinge zone.

Der elastisch an das C-förmige Tragstück 1, 2 angelenkte Arm 4 weist im unteren Maulöffnungsbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 ferner einen elastisch drehbar an ihm angeordneten Doppelarmbügel 5a, 5b auf. Auch hier ist zweckmäßig der Doppelarm 5a, 5b in seinem Drehpunkt im Verhältnis zum Arm 4 im übrigen einstückig mit diesem über eine Scharnierzone 6 verbunden. Der obere, in das Maul des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 hineinragende Arm 5a liegt in der Wegbahn des in dem Maul aufzunehmenden elektrischen Leiters 3 und wirkt mit diesem in noch zu beschreibender Weise für die Festsetzung des Bezeichnungsträgers auf dem elektrischen Leiter 3 zusammen.The arm 4 articulated elastically to the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 also has a double-arm bracket 5a, 5b arranged in an elastically rotatable manner in the lower mouth opening area of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2. Here, too, the double arm 5a, 5b is expediently connected in one piece with its pivot point in relation to the arm 4 via a hinge zone 6. The upper arm 5a projecting into the mouth of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 lies in the path of the electrical conductor 3 to be received in the mouth and interacts with it in a manner to be described below for fixing the label on the electrical conductor 3.

Der Montagevorgang, d. h. das Aufsetzen eines Bezeichnungsträgers gemäß der Erfindung auf einen elektrischen Leiter 3, der beispielsweise im übrigen schon fest angeschlossen sein kann, ist in der Aufeinanderfolge der Figuren 2 bis 6 in den einzelnen wesentlichen Phasen illustriert. Gemäß Figur 2 wird der Bezeichnungsträger in seiner normalen unbenutzten Ruhestellung über den elektrischen Leiter 3 verbracht und dann von oben auf den elektrischen Leiter 3 aufgedrückt, wie dies in Figur 3 illustriert ist. Der äußere untere Bodenbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 ist dabei zweckmäßig als Führungsschräge 7 ausgebildet. Beim Aufdrücken rutscht der Bezeichnungsträger 1 somit auf der Führungsschräge 7 auf der Oberfläche des elektrischen Leiters 3, bis der untere Arm 5b des Doppelarmbügels 5a, 5b des elastisch angelenkten Arms 4 auf den elektrischen Leiter 3 trifft (Fig. 3). Bei weiterem Aufdrücken wird der Doppelarmbügel 5a, 5b samt elastisch angelenktem Arm 4 elastisch nach außen gedrückt, wodurch gemäß Fig. 4 und 5 der elektrische Leiter 3 in den Innenbereich des Maules des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 eintreten kann. Nach dem Durchtritt durch die somit freiwerdende Eintrittsöffnung stößt der elektrische Leiter 3 dann umgehend gemäß Fig. 5 auf den als Klemmstück wirkenden oberen Arm 5a des Doppelarmbügels 5a, 5b und dreht diesen um die Scharnierzone 6 herum nach oben (sh. Vergleich der Fig. 4 und 5), so daß der elektrische Leiter 3 nun insgesamt in das freigegebene Innere des Maules eintreten kann und hier seine Lage im inneren Bodenbereich des Maules des C-förmigen Tragkörpers 1, 2 findet (Fig. 6). Er wird hier durch die aufrechterhalten bleibende Klemmkraft des mit dieser Klemmkraft auf ihn einwirkenden oberen Armes 5a des Doppelarmbügels 5a, 5b gehalten, wobei diese Klemmkraft noch durch die elastische Rückstellkraft des sich wieder in seine Ausgangslage bewegenden elastisch angelenkten Armes 4 unterstützt wird. Der klemmend auf den elektrischen Leiter 3 einwirkende obere Arm 5a hält dabei ferner auch, wie aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich, den anderen unteren Arm 5b des Doppelarmbügels 5a, 5b in seiner Schließstellung an den unteren Maulöffnungsrand angedrückt. Der Zugang ist damit zuverlässig verschlossen.The assembly process, ie the placement of a label according to the invention on an electrical conductor 3, which, for example, can already be permanently connected, is illustrated in the sequence of FIGS. 2 to 6 in the individual essential phases. According to FIG. 2, the label in its normal, unused rest position is moved over the electrical conductor 3 and then pressed onto the electrical conductor 3 from above, as illustrated in FIG. 3. The outer lower floor area of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 is expediently designed as a guide slope 7. When pressed on, the label 1 thus slides on the guide slope 7 on the surface of the electrical conductor 3 until the lower arm 5b of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b of the elastically articulated arm 4 meets the electrical conductor 3 (FIG. 3). Upon further pressing, the double arm bracket 5a, 5b together with the elastically articulated arm 4 is pressed elastically outwards, as a result of which the electrical conductor 3 can enter the interior of the mouth of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 according to FIGS. 4 and 5. After passing through the entry opening thus freed, the electrical conductor 3 immediately hits the upper arm 5a of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b, which acts as a clamping piece, as shown in FIG. 5, and rotates it upward around the hinge zone 6 (see comparison of FIG. 4 and 5), so that the electrical conductor 3 can now enter the released interior of the mouth as a whole and find its position in the inner bottom region of the mouth of the C-shaped support body 1, 2 (FIG. 6). It is held here by the remaining clamping force of the upper arm 5a of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b acting on it with this clamping force, this clamping force is still supported by the elastic restoring force of the elastically articulated arm 4 which moves back into its starting position. The upper arm 5a, which clamps on the electrical conductor 3, also keeps, as can be seen from FIG. 6, the other lower arm 5b of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b pressed in its closed position against the lower mouth opening edge. Access is therefore reliably closed.
