Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Markierungselement für elektrische Reihenklemmen mit einem mit Bezeichnungsträgeraufnahmen des Isolierstoffkörpers der Reihenklemme verrastbaren Fußteil und einem schwenkbeweglich damit verbundenen, auf der schmalen Reihenklemmenoberseite lagerbaren Bezeichnungsschildteil, wobei das Bezeichnungsschildteil und das Fußteil einstückig über ein Scharnierband miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a marking element for electrical terminal blocks with a base part which can be latched with the label holder receptacles of the insulating body of the terminal block and a pivotably connected label part which can be stored on the narrow top of the terminal block, the label part and the base part being integrally connected to one another via a hinge band.

Bei den bislang bekannten Markierungselementen der gattungsgemäßen Art (Weidmüller-Katalog 1990 S. 8/15) ist eine zweiteilige Bauweise vorgesehen. Das mit der Rastverbindung zur Festsetzung auf der Reihenklemme versehene Fußteil ist mit dem Bezeichnungsträgerteil über eine Schwenkgelenkverbindung verbunden. In der Gebrauchsstellung liegt das Bezeichnungsträgerteil dann mehr oder weniger lose auf der schmalen Oberseite der Reihenklemme auf.In the previously known marking elements of the generic type (Weidmüller catalog 1990 p. 8/15), a two-part construction is provided. The foot part provided with the snap connection for fixing on the terminal block is connected to the designation support part via a swivel joint connection. In the position of use, the label carrier part then lies more or less loosely on the narrow top of the terminal block.

Abgesehen davon, daß eine funktionsfähige Gelenkverbindung einen Platzbedarf erfordert, der bei den immer schmaler werdenden Reihenklemmen manchmal kaum noch zur Verfügung steht, ist die Herstellung eines derartigen Markierungselementes kompliziert und mit Montagevorgängen im Bereich der Gelenkverbindung verbunden. Durch die DE-A-36 15 824 ist ein Markierungselement bekannt geworden, bei dem das Bezeichnungsschildteil und das Fußteil einstückig über ein Scharnierteil miteinander verbunden sind.In addition to the fact that a functional joint connection requires a space that is sometimes barely available with the increasingly narrow terminal blocks, the production of such a marking element is complicated and involves assembly processes in the area of the joint connection. From DE-A-36 15 824 a marking element is known in which the label part and the foot part are integrally connected to one another via a hinge part.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Markierungselement der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, das sich nicht nur einfach und schmalbauend herstellen läßt, sondern sich einfach und zuverlässig in die Gebrauchslage bringen läßt.The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a marking element of the generic type which can not only be produced in a simple and slim-line manner, but can also be brought into the position of use simply and reliably.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ergibt sich aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1.The solution according to the invention results from the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die einstückige Verbindung zwischen Fußteil und Bezeichnungsschildteil führt infolge des Fortfalls jedweder Montagearbeiten zu einer vereinfachten preiswerten Herstellung und ermöglicht im Hinblick auf die Scharnierbandausbildung eine sehr schmale Bauweise. Durch die Verrastung des Fußteiles und des Bezeichnungsschildteiles in ihrer Schließlage, in der das Bezeichnungsschildteil dann die schmale Oberseite der Reihenklemme abdeckt, läßt sich das Markierungselement zuverlässig in seiner Gebrauchslage auf der Reihenklemme halten. Es erfüllt von daher nunmehr auch zuverlässig eine Abdeckfunktion bezüglich der diversen üblichen Zugangsöffnungen in der schmalen Oberseite der Reihenklemme, die aber andererseits durch die Lösbarkeit der Rastverbindung zwischen Bezeichnungsschildteil und Fußteil für Betätigungswerkzeuge, Prüfstecker, Querverbinderstücke oder dergleichen zugänglich bleiben. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist ein Markierungselementestreifen vorgesehen, in dem mehrere Markierungselemente nebeneinander jeweils mit ihren freien Enden einstückig über eine Trennstelle an eine gemeinsame Querverbindungsleiste angeformt sind. Diese Ausgestaltung trägt einerseits mit zur vereinfachten Herstellung bei, da eine Vielzahl von Markierungselementen nebeneinander praktisch in Strangform hergestellt werden kann und man im Bedarfsfall mit der Querverbindungsleiste als logistische Handhabe eine Mehrzahl einzelner Markierungselemente gleichzeitig auf eine Reihenklemmenanordnung bringen und darauf mittels der Fußteile verrasten kann. Es besteht dabei bei dieser Ausführung grundsätzlich auch die Möglichkeit, danach die Querverbindungsleiste an den Markierungselementen zu belassen. Die sichtbaren Flächenbereiche der Querverbindungsleiste können zusätzlich als Bezeichnungsfläche benutzt werden.The one-piece connection between the foot part and the label part leads to the elimination of any assembly work leading to simplified, inexpensive manufacture and enables a very narrow construction with regard to the formation of the hinge band. By locking the foot part and the label part in their closed position, in which the label part then covers the narrow top of the terminal block, the marking element can be reliably held in its position of use on the terminal block. It therefore now reliably fulfills a covering function with regard to the various usual access openings in the narrow upper side of the terminal block, which on the other hand remains accessible for actuating tools, test plugs, cross connector pieces or the like due to the releasability of the snap connection between the label part and the foot part. According to a preferred embodiment, a marking element strip is provided in which a plurality of marking elements are integrally formed next to one another, each with their free ends, in one piece via a separating point on a common cross-connection strip. On the one hand, this configuration contributes to the simplified production, since a large number of marking elements can be produced practically side by side in strand form and, if necessary, a plurality of individual marking elements can be brought onto a terminal block arrangement at the same time as a logistical handle and can be latched thereon by means of the foot parts. In this version there is basically also the possibility of leaving the cross-connection strip on the marking elements afterwards. The visible surface areas of the cross connection bar can also be used as a labeling surface.

Es ist andererseits auch ohne weiteres möglich, im Bedarfsfall die einzelnen Markierungselemente über die Trennstelle von der Querverbindungsleiste abzutrennen und die Markierungselemente dann einzeln mit den betroffenen Reihenklemmen zu verrasten.On the other hand, it is also readily possible, if necessary, to separate the individual marking elements from the cross-connection strip via the separation point and then to individually latch the marking elements with the terminal blocks concerned.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügte Zeichnung näher beschrieben.Embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Das in den Figuren 1 und 2 in der Offenstellung gezeigte Markierungselement hat ein Fußteil 1, mit dem schwenkbeweglich und einstückig über ein als Fimscharnier ausgebildetes Scharnierband 2 ein Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 verbunden ist. Das Fußteil 1 hat Rastfüße 4, mit denen, wie in Figur 3 illustriert, das Fußteil 1 mit den üblichen Rastnuten 5 verrastet werden kann, wie sie in den zugänglichen schmalen Oberseiten der Isolierstoffkörper 6 von Reihenklemmen vorhanden sind. In diese Rastnuten 5 können auch die üblichen kleinen Bezeichnungsträgerelemente eingerastet werden.The marking element shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the open position has a base part 1, to which a label part 3 is connected in a pivotable manner and in one piece via a hinge band 2 designed as a film hinge. The foot part 1 has locking feet 4, with which, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the foot part 1 can be locked with the usual locking grooves 5, as are present in the accessible narrow tops of the insulating material bodies 6 of terminal blocks. The usual small designation carrier elements can also be snapped into these locking grooves 5.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Fußteil 1 des Markierungselementes eine Rastbohrung 7 auf, mit der ein an entsprechender Stelle auf dem Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 vorgesehener Rastzapfen 8 in der Schließstellung des Markierungselementes zusammenwirkt, in der, wie aus Figur 3 ersichtlich ist, das Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 mittels des Filmscharnieres 2 auf das Fußteil 1 herumgeschwenkt ist. Der Rastzapfen 8 tritt dabei in die Rastbohrung 7. In dieser Schließstellung liegt dank der Rastverbindung das Bezeichnungsschildteil des Markierungselementes zuverlässig über der schmalen Oberseite des Isolierstoffkörpers 6 der Reihenklemme und übernimmt hier auch Abdeckfunktion für dort befindliche übliche Zugangsöffnungen für Querverbinderelemente, Betätigungswerkzeuge, Prüfstecker und dergleichen.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the foot part 1 of the marking element has a locking bore 7, with which a locking pin 8 provided at a corresponding location on the label part 3 cooperates in the closed position of the marking element, in which, as in FIG it can be seen that the label part 3 is pivoted around the base part 1 by means of the film hinge 2. The locking pin 8 enters the locking hole 7. In this closed position, thanks to the locking connection, the label part of the marking element lies reliably above the narrow top of the insulating body 6 of the terminal block and also takes on a covering function for the usual access openings for cross connector elements, actuating tools, test plugs and the like located there.

Zur Erzielung einer besonders sicheren Rastverbindung ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel auf der Oberseite des Fußteiles 1 ein runder Ansatz 9 vorgesehen, durch den sich die Rastbohrung 7 erstreckt. In dem Bezeichnungsschildteil ist eine runde Aussparung 10 gebildet, von deren Grund der Rastzapfen 8 vorsteht und die in der Schließstellung den Ansatz 9 übergreift.In order to achieve a particularly secure snap-in connection, a round attachment 9 is provided on the top of the foot part 1 in the exemplary embodiment shown, through which the snap-in bore 7 extends. A round recess 10 is formed in the label part, from the bottom of which the locking pin 8 protrudes and which engages over the extension 9 in the closed position.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 4 ersichtlich, jedoch auch in den anderen Figuren illustriert, ist aus Gründen der Herstellung und auch der Handhabung zweckmäßigerweise ein Markierungselementestreifen mit einer Mehrzahl nebeneinander angeordneter derartiger Markierungselemente gebildet. Dabei hängen die nebeneinanderliegenden Markierungselemente mit ihren freien Enden an einem gemeinsamen Querverbindungsstreifen 11. Sie sind daran zweckmäßig über eine Trennstelle 12 angeformt. Der Querverbindungsstreifen 11 bietet die Möglichkeit, eine Mehrzahl derartiger Markierungselemente gleichzeitig auf eine Anreihung von Reihenklemmen zu setzen und auf diesen mittels des Fußteiles 1 zu verrasten. Man kann in so einem Fall den Querverbindungsstreifen an den Markierungselementen belassen und hat die Möglichkeit, die im Sichtbereich liegende Fläche des Querverbindungsstreifens ganz oder teilweise als zusätzliche Bezeichnungsfläche zu nutzen.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, but also illustrated in the other figures, for reasons of production and handling, a strip of marking elements is expediently formed with a plurality of such marking elements arranged next to one another. The adjacent marking elements hang with their free ends on a common cross-connection strip 11. They are expediently molded onto it via a separation point 12. The cross-connection strip 11 offers the possibility of simultaneously placing a plurality of such marking elements on a series of terminal blocks and locking them onto this by means of the foot part 1. In such a case, the cross-connection strip can be left on the marking elements and it is possible to use all or part of the surface of the cross-connection strip lying in the visible area as an additional labeling surface.

Es besteht aber auch ohne weiteres die Möglichkeit, im Bedarfsfall einzelne Markierungselemente über die Trennstelle 12 von dem gemeinsamen Querverbindungsstreifen abzutrennen und sie dann einzeln auf die Reihenklemmen aufzusetzen und mit ihnen zu verrasten.However, there is also the possibility, if necessary, of separating individual marking elements from the common cross-connection strip via the separating point 12 and then placing them individually on the terminal blocks and locking them together.

Für die Anbringung der eigentlichen Bezeichnungen an dem Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 bestehen die verschiedensten Möglichkeiten. Die in der Schließ- bzw. Gebrauchslage sichtbare Bezeichnungsschildfläche kann unmittelbar mit den Bezeichnungen bedruckt sein. Es ist aber auch ohne weiteres möglich, in dieser Fläche des Bezeichnungsschildteiles 3 die üblichen und bekannten Rastnuten, beispielsweise vergleichbar der Rastnuten 5 (Figur 3) vorzusehen und dann in diese die üblichen kleinen Bezeichnungsträgerstückchen in der jeweils gewünschten Anordnung einzurasten.There are many different options for attaching the actual designations to the designation label part 3. The label surface visible in the closed or use position can be directly printed with the labels. However, it is also readily possible to provide the usual and known locking grooves, for example comparable to the locking grooves 5 (FIG. 3), in this area of the label part 3 and then to snap the usual small label carrier pieces into the desired arrangement.

Es ist ferner hervorzuheben, daß die Markierung am Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 durchaus nicht nur auf dessen in der Schließstellung zu sehenden Oberseite erfolgen kann. Insoweit kann durchaus noch die Unterseite benutzt werden. Die Markierungen auf der Unterseite sind naturgemäß nur nach dem Öffnen des Markierungselementes sichtbar. Dieses Öffnen ist in jeder Weise problemlos, wobei durch die unlösbare Verbindung von Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 und Fußteil 1 durch das Filmscharnier 2 das Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 immer an der Klemme gehalten wird. Die Zuordnung der Markierungen zur Klemme bleibt also in jedem Fall bestehen.It should also be emphasized that the marking on the label part 3 can be done not only on its top side, which can be seen in the closed position. In this respect, the bottom can still be used. The markings on the underside are naturally only visible after opening the marking element. This opening is problem-free in any way, the label part 3 always being held at the clamp by the permanent connection of the label part 3 and the base part 1 by the film hinge 2. The assignment of the markings to the terminal remains in any case.

Wie bereits hervorgehoben, hat insbesondere das Bezeichnungsschildteil 3 des Markierungselementes in der Schließstellung Schutzfunktion. Es kann dabei insbesondere, wie in Figur 3 illustriert, auch die Abdeckung der Querverbindung einer Reihenklemmenanordnung gewährleisten. Um trotz dieser Abdeckfunktion die manchmal für wünschenswert gehaltene Einsehbarkeit des unter dem Bezeichnungssschildteil 3 liegenden Raumes der Reihenklemme sicherzustellen, sind in weiterer zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung Aussparungen 13 an den Längsseiten des Bezeichnungsschildteiles 3 vorgesehen.As already emphasized, the label part 3 of the marking element in particular has a protective function in the closed position. In particular, as illustrated in FIG. 3, it can also ensure the covering of the cross connection of a terminal block arrangement. In order to ensure, despite this covering function, the visibility of the space of the terminal block located under the label part 3, which is sometimes considered desirable, recesses 13 are provided on the long sides of the label part 3 in a further expedient embodiment.

Gemäß einer weiteren, bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann das Markierungselement aus zwei verschiedenen Werkstoffen bestehen, die zweckmäßig beim Spritzvorgang unlösbar miteinander verbunden werden. Wie in Figur 1 mit der Trennlinie 14 angedeutet, besteht zweckmäßig das Fußteil 1 mit Scharnierband 2 und ein Teilbereich des Bezeichungsschildteiles 3 aus einem Kunststoff mit hohen Elastizitätswerten. Ein weiterer Bereich des Schildteiles 3, insbesondere dessen Oberseitenbereich, besteht aus einem Kunststoff mit besonders guten Hafteigenschaften gegenüber einem Aufdruck. Dieser Werkstoff ist zweckmäßig auch besonders spröde, um die Abtrennung von dem gemeinsamen Verbinderstreifen zu erleichtern.According to a further preferred embodiment, the marking element can consist of two different materials which are expediently non-detachably connected to one another during the spraying process. As indicated in FIG. 1 with the dividing line 14, the base part 1 with the hinge band 2 and a partial area of the identification plate part 3 expediently consist of a plastic with high elasticity values. Another area of the shield part 3, in particular the top area thereof, consists of a plastic with particularly good adhesive properties compared to an imprint. This material is also expediently particularly brittle in order to facilitate the separation from the common connector strip.
