Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a quick connection device for a storage battery terminal.
  • connection devices also called lugs, which are tightened on each terminal of the battery and to from which electrical connection cables leave.
  • a screw-nut system can be used laterally to connect the two jaws of the lugs by bringing these jaws together and tightening around the terminal.
  • Another solution consists in providing at the upper part of the terminal a threaded rod, the terminal being made up of a metal ring which is threaded on the rod and which is tightened using an insulating nut screwed on the end of the rod so as to wedge the terminal.
  • Document FR-A-2,618,607 provides a first example of an arrangement of elastic means in the form of a helical spring disposed between the two actuating arms of the jaws.
  • the coil spring is an independent part which is expensive and which must be assembled to make the terminal. Additionally the design described in this document does not provide effective protection of the terminal to avoid accidental contact with foreign conductive elements.
  • the present invention aims to provide a quick connection device which is of a simple design, inexpensive, comprising a reduced number of components and which provides good protection of the terminal.
  • the invention provides a device of the type comprising a lug which at least partially surrounds the barrel of the terminal and means for clamping the lug on the terminal, characterized in that the lug is a piece of sheet metal cut and folded in the form of an elastically compressible clamp comprising a portion in the form of an open annular loop which cooperates with the terminal barrel and the ends of which are extended by two branches substantially parallel to the axis of the loop and whose closure is ensured by means of '' a tightening lever articulated on the terminal around an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of the loop and of which an active part cooperates with the branches of the terminal to bring them closer together and thus cause a reduction in the dimension of the loop annular by elastic deformation of this last.
  • the quick connection device 10 shown in the figures consists of only two parts, a metal part 12 acting as a connection terminal and a clamping lever made of insulating plastic material 13 also acting as a protective cap.
  • the terminal 12 is a piece of cut and folded sheet metal.
  • the terminal 12 has a portion in the form of a cylindrical or conical annular loop 14 which is designed to cooperate with the barrel of a terminal (not shown) of an accumulator battery.
  • the portion 14 is an open loop which extends over a large part of a circular circumference and the ends of which are extended by two vertical branches 16 and 18 which extend in planes substantially parallel to the axis of the loop 14 .
  • the diameter of the loop is large enough to allow it to be mounted on a terminal by interlocking on the latter.
  • the terminal 12 in the form of a clamp consisting of the loop 14 and the branches 16 and 18 is a clamp of the compressible type, the closure of which is obtained by bringing the branches 16 and 18 together using the lever tightening 13.
  • the lever 13 is a so-called lever of the second type which comprises a substantially flat body 20, one end 22 of which is extended by a longitudinal tab 24, the end 26 of which is curved in a direction substantially perpendicular to that of the body 20.
  • the tab 24 is received with play in an ear 28 integrally formed with the loop 14 of the terminal 12.
  • the ear 28 extends from the upper circular edge 30 of the loop 14 vertically upwards and in a plane having a slight inclination relative to the axis of the loop.
  • the active part 32 of the clamping lever 13 is a fork-shaped portion with two teeth 34 and 36 which extend vertically downwards from the underside of the body 20 of the lever 13.
  • the facing edges 38 and 40 of the teeth 34 and 36 have a curved profile and a spacing such that it brings the branches 16 towards one another. and 18 when the lever 13 is in its closed clamping position illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the latter comprises two attachment arms 42 and 44.
  • the hooking arms 42 and 44 came integrally with the body 20 of the lever 13 and extend vertically downwards from the body 20 so that their free ends in the form of hooks 46 and 48 can be received in a slot circular 50 formed in the loop-shaped portion 14 of the terminal 12.
  • the branch 16 extends longitudinally in the direction opposite to the loop 14 to form a claw 52 for crimping electrical connection cables 54.
  • the claw-shaped portion 52 is constituted by parallel transverse lugs 55 and 56 integrally formed with the terminal 12 which can be crimped onto the cable 54 by means of a crimping pliers (not shown) according to a conventional technique.
  • the quick connection device according to the invention which has just been described is particularly simple to use.
  • the assembly is carried out, after having put in place the portion in the form of a loop 14 on the barrel of the terminal, by lowering the clamping lever 13 by acting on its free actuating end 58 which causes the insertion of the branches 16 and 18 between the teeth 34 and 36 and their tightening which simultaneously causes the tightening of the loop 14 around the terminal.
  • the hooks 46 and 48 of the arms 42 and 44 penetrate into the slot 50 so as to ensure reliable maintenance in the tight position of the connection device on the terminal.
  • the disassembly of the device from its closed position shown in FIG. 2 is carried out by acting inversely on the free end 58 of the clamping lever 13 so as to arrive at the loosened position shown in FIG. 1.
  • the lever 13 made of insulating material also provides protection for the terminal and the terminal against accidental contact with electrically conductive materials.
  • the lever In the open position shown in FIG. 1, the lever constitutes a visual indication of the state of disconnection of the device according to the invention.
