Definitions

  • the invention relates to removable electrical connectors which are intended to be installed between an electrical consumption device and a wall socket of the female type connected to the electrical network and having a wall support covering.
  • the housing of which contains a device for supplying electrical power to the consumption device such as, for example, a transformer, a timer, or a remote control receiver for a switch, and has for this purpose a generally oblong shape of which a large face carries a male plug having at least two pins oriented perpendicular to said large face, and whose longitudinal extent is such that when the connector is plugged into the wall socket, the housing extends longitudinally beyond the wall outlet trim.
  • a device for supplying electrical power to the consumption device such as, for example, a transformer, a timer, or a remote control receiver for a switch
  • the housing has for this purpose a generally oblong shape of which a large face carries a male plug having at least two pins oriented perpendicular to said large face, and whose longitudinal extent is such that when the connector is plugged into the wall socket, the housing extends longitudinally beyond the wall outlet trim.
  • the wall sockets are generally installed near the baseboards, or even the floor and their sockets being aligned in a horizontal plane, the connector housing, due to its length, comes into abutment either with the baseboard, or with the floor, and therefore prohibits plugging the connector into the wall socket.
  • the wall outlet is installed at a short distance between two pieces of furniture with the sockets further aligned in a vertical plane, it will be understood that it is then impossible to connect such a connector if the length of the case is greater than the distance between socket and furniture respectively.
  • the invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks.
  • the male plug is pivotally mounted on the large face of the housing around an axis parallel to the male pins.
  • the box can be pivoted around the wall outlet so as to adapt to the furniture or real estate environment.
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view of a connector according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a left view of the connector of Figure 1 in the supply position on a wall outlet shown in section
  • Figure 3 shows schematically and on a smaller scale the connector according to two different connections, namely: on the left side a connection to a wall outlet installed between two pieces of furniture, and on the right side a connection to a wall socket installed near a plinth.
  • the removable connector shown in this drawing is intended to be installed between an electrical consumption device (not shown) such as for example a bedside lamp or a household appliance, and a wall socket outlet 1 of the female type comprising in a known manner itself two sockets 2 and an earth plug 3 connected to the electrical network, as well as a covering 4 for wall support.
  • This connector comprises, a housing 5 containing a supply device 6, shown diagrammatically in broken lines such as, preferably, a remote control receiver operating by means of carrier currents and intended to control a bistable switch for controlling the consumption device.
  • the supply device could also be a timer or a step-down transformer.
  • the housing 5 has for this purpose a generally oblong shape, a large face 7 carries a male plug 8 having two pins 9 oriented perpendicular to said large face 7, and whose longitudinal extent is such that when the connector is plugged into the socket wall 1, the housing 5 extends longitudinally beyond the covering 4 of the wall outlet 1 as can be seen in FIG. 2 where the connector is in the supply position, that is to say facing the wall outlet.
  • the male plug 8 comprises two ground sockets 10, so as to make it symmetrical with regard to the wall outlet 1.
  • the housing 5 carries, on a large face 11 opposite the large face 7 carrying the male plug 8, a female socket 12 intended to receive a male plug (not shown) associated with the electrical consumption device and comprising for this purpose two female sockets 14 and an earth plug 15.
  • the sockets 14 and plug 15 are connected to the supply device 6 by electric wires 16.
  • the male plug 8 is pivotally mounted on the large face 7 of the housing 5 around an axis A ( Figure 1) parallel to the male pins 9 and centered between the two pins 9.
  • the mechanical assembly of the plug 8 on the housing 5, intended to allow pivoting, can be achieved by any means known per se, for example by means of a rivet forming a pivot.
  • the pivoting of the male plug 8 is limited by an angular stop so as to prevent rotation of 360 degrees around the axis A.
  • the angular stop is formed, on the one hand, by a partition 17 projecting from the large face 7 of the housing 5 and preferably extending in an arc of 90 degrees near the periphery of the plug 8 , and on the other hand, by two notches 18 and 19 made at the periphery of the male plug 8 and diametrically opposite.
  • the electrical connection between the two male pins 9 and sockets 10, and the supply device 6 is obtained by flexible electric wires 20 of suitable section and length.
  • other rotary connection devices could be provided, such as, for example, with a conductive ring and wipers.
  • FIG. 3 in which, on the left-hand side, a wall outlet with its covering 4 has been shown, arranged between two pieces of furniture 21, 22, with materialization of the earth plug 3 and female sockets 2 located in a vertical plane, and in the right part, a wall outlet arranged near a plinth 23 with materialization of female sockets 2 located in a horizontal plane.
  • the spacing between the wall outlet and one or the other of the pieces of furniture 21, 22 has been chosen so that the connection of a conventional connector cannot be obtained by horizontal position.
  • the pivoting of the plug 8 and / or of the housing 5 relative to the plug 8 allows the user to place the housing 5, for example, in position c (illustrated in solid line ) or positions d or e (illustrated in broken lines).
  • the connector can be brought by simple inversion of 180 degrees in positions symmetrical with respect to the wall outlet 1.
  • the housing 5 of the connector cannot occupy a vertical position directed downwards because of the plinth 23.
  • the user therefore rotates the housing until obtaining , for example, the position illustrated in this part of the figure, the socket 12 thus remaining in the vicinity of the ground and allowing the connection of the socket of the electrical consumption device without harming the decor of the room.
