Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the connection clamps to be attached to an electrical conductor, for the establishment, for example, of a temporary derivation from the latter or for its grounding or its short-circuiting. circuit.
  • such a connection clamp comprises, on the one hand, a body with which it is associated a fixing tab by which it is capable of being temporarily inserted on any support suitable for its manipulation, and, on the other hand, a clamping member, which , mounted movably on the body, is permanently resiliently biased towards a service position for which it is able to grip the electrical conductor to be fitted.
  • connection clamp of this type is in particular the subject of the French patent which, requested on January 18, 1956, was issued under No. 1,146,031.
  • the support used is a plate, which is itself to be plugged in at the end of a pole, and on which several connection clamps, for example three, can be attached simultaneously or four, this clamp holder plate having for this purpose an equal number of sockets in which these connection clamps can each be individually plugged in by their fixing tab.
  • the clamping member of the connection clamps is, in this French patent No 1 146 031, constituted by a horn which, pivotally mounted on their body, forms therewith a V of engagement widely open towards the top, for an attack from below the electrical conductor to be fitted, this attack from below, duly buttressed by the clamp holder support, sufficient to ensure the elastic erasure of this horn necessary for the engagement of the body with the electrical conductor.
  • connection clamp For an attack over the electrical conductor to be fitted, it is important that the body of the connection clamp is largely hook-shaped, and, jointly, if, as it is desirable, to promote interchangeability, the clamp-holding plates of the same type as the previous ones must still be able to be used, it is also important that, in the standby position, the clamping member mounted movably on this body leaves the hook formed by it open.
  • the present invention generally relates to a provision making it possible to respond in a particularly simple and satisfactory manner to the above double requirement.
  • connection clamp for electrical conductor comprising, on the one hand, a body with which it is associated a fixing tab by which it is capable of being temporarily inserted on any support suitable for its manipulation, and, on the other hand, a clamping member which, mounted mobile on the body, is permanently resiliently biased towards a service position for which it is able to grip the electrical conductor to be fitted,
  • this connection clamp being characterized in that the body forms a hook by which the connection clamp can be engaged from above on the electrical conductor to be fitted, in that on the path of the clamping member is interposed a retractable trigger by which this member tightening can be kept pending at a distance from its operating position, when it is retained by the trigger, the tightening member leaving the hook formed by the body free, and in that, movably mounted on the body within the limits at least of a determined clearance, the fixing tab constitutes a trigger to which this trigger is subjected.
  • the trigger is in one piece with the fixing tab, being constituted by an extension of the latter.
  • this fixing tab it is advantageously taken advantage, according to the invention, of this fixing tab, to ensure temporary retention of the clamping member in a waiting position for which it allows free engagement by the upper body on the electrical conductor to be fitted, leaving in a way open the hook that this body forms in practice for this engagement.
  • connection clamp according to the invention in addition to its usual function of plugging into a support, which advantageously allows the connection clamp according to the invention to be able to be attached to a clamp-holding plate of the type of those already existing, the fixing tab associated with the body of this connection clamp according to the invention assumes an additional function, which is to constitute a trigger for the corresponding clamping member.
  • connection clamp according to the invention on the electrical conductor to be fitted thus advantageously occurs automatically, and mechanically, at the sole contact of this electrical conductor.
  • connection clamp to engagement from above remains, advantageously, the other conditions being equal, moreover, of the same order as that of the latter.
  • connection clamp 11 of the type comprising, on the one hand, a body 12 to which it is associated with a fixing tab 13 by which this connection clamp 11 is capable of being temporarily inserted on any support 14 suitable for its manipulation, and, on the other hand, according to arrangements described in more detail later, a clamp 15, which, movably mounted on the body 12, is permanently resiliently biased towards a service position for which, as shown in Figure 4, the connection clamp 11 is able to grip the electrical conductor 10 to equip.
  • the support 14 is a clamp-holding plate of the type described in French patent No 1 146 031.
  • These sockets 16 are thus each capable of slidingly receiving a fixing tab 13.
  • latching means 18 comprise a piston 19 movably mounted in a well 20 perpendicular to the bush 16 which they equip, FIGS. 3 and 7.
  • the piston 19 projects into the bush 16, for cooperation with a recess 23, or billing, which the fixing tongue 13 has in addition to this effect.
  • the piston 19 is corollarily subjected to a spring 24 which, bearing on a plug 25 closing the well 20 by screwing, urges it permanently in the direction of the fixing tongue 13.
  • a retractable trigger 27 by which this clamping member 15 can be kept on standby away from its position of service represented in FIG. 4, in a waiting position which is that shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and, jointly, movably mounted on the body 12 within at least the limits of a determined clearance, the tongue of attachment 13 constitutes a trigger to which this trigger 27 is subjected.
  • the body 12 comprises an upright 28, which is the part concerned by the fixing tab 13, and a horn 29, which, in one piece with the upright 28, extends in an inverted U shape.
  • This body 12 thus generally forms a hook, the concavity of which faces downwards, and by which the connection clamp 11 can be engaged from above on the electrical conductor 10 to be fitted.
  • an electrical conductor 30 which, for example, and as shown, is constituted by a metal braid.
  • the upright 28 is perforated locally by a recess 31.
  • the clamping member 15 is pivotally mounted on the body 12, and, more precisely, on the upright 28 thereof, by means of the recess 31 in this upright 28.
  • this is a lever articulated in the middle on an axis 32 which extends through the recess 31.
  • the clamping member 15 has, parallel to one another, two cheeks 34, between which the axis 32 extends, and which are connected to each other, on the one hand, at a first end, and along their longitudinal edges, by a first cross member 35, and, d on the other hand, at the other of their ends, and along their transverse edges, by a second crosspiece 36.
  • the clamping member 15 thus formed is subjected, in the embodiments shown, to a torsion spring 38, the median torsion part 39 of which is engaged on the axis 32, and of which a wing 40 is supported on the upright 28 of the body 12 while the other wing 41 bears on the clamping member 15, and, more precisely, on the internal face of its cross-member 35.
  • the clamping member 15 has a retaining shoulder 42.
  • this retaining shoulder 42 belongs to a recess 43 locally perforating this clamping member 15, and, more precisely, its crosspiece 36.
  • the body 12 and the clamping member 15 are metallic.
  • the fixing tab 13 is itself in the form of a simple metal plate.
  • the trigger 27 is in one piece with this fixing tab 13.
  • the width L1 of the trigger 27 is thus less than that L2 of the fixing tab 13, and the fixing tab 13 therefore forms on both sides of the trigger 27 two shoulders 45.
  • these shoulders 45 are each knocked down by a chamfer 46, on the side of the shoulder of retainer 42 of the clamping member 15.
  • the trigger 27 is pulled down by a chamfer 48 on the side opposite to this retaining shoulder 42, and, therefore, on the side opposite to the preceding chamfers 46.
  • the body 12 For receiving and housing the fixing tongue 13, the body 12 comprises, in the embodiments shown, a groove 49 in which this fixing tongue 13 is capable of sliding.
  • this groove 49 affects the base of the upright 28 of this body 12, and it extends longitudinally in height in this upright 28, until it opens into its recess 31.
  • the groove 49 is open longitudinally over its entire length by a slot 50, on the side opposite to the horn 29, and the width L3 of this slot 50 is greater than that L1 of the trigger 27.
  • this engagement can therefore be made with a certain inclination of the upright 28 of this body 12 relative to the fixing tongue 13.
  • the fixing tab 13 which constitutes a separate part from the body 12, is separable from this body 12, and, on the side opposite the latter, it comprises, projecting, for cooperation in abutment with the support 14, at least one retaining heel 52.
  • two retaining heels 52 are provided laterally, in inverted T, on either side of the fixing tab 13, at the base thereof.
  • the fixing tab 13 is engaged from below in a socket 16 of the support 14, along the arrow F1 in FIG. 2, until intervention by the latching means 18.
  • connection clamp 11 By its groove 49 of its body 12, the connection clamp 11 according to the invention is then engaged from above, according to the arrow F2 in FIG. 2, on the thus projecting part of the fixing tongue 13, with its member clamp 15 held in the standby position against the torsion spring 38, as shown in this figure 2.
  • the trigger 27 engages in the recess 43 of the clamping member 15, and, when it is released, the latter comes to bear by its retaining shoulder 42 against this trigger 27, such that shown in Figures 3 and 5.
  • connection clamp 11 is ready to be placed on the electrical conductor 10 to be fitted.
  • connection clamp 11 according to the invention is then open.
  • this clamping member 15 then pivots around the axis 32 under the bias of the torsion spring 38, along the arrow F4 in FIG. 4, until it comes to bear on the electrical conductor 10, on the side thereof opposite the body 12.
  • the fixing tab 13 is permanently carried by the body.
  • the body 12 which has a lug 54 projecting from the bottom of its groove 49, and the fixing tongue 13 jointly comprises a buttonhole 55, which is elongated along its length, and by which it engages with lug 54.
  • the fixing tab 13 is devoid of retaining heel.
  • connection clamp 11 While, previously, the arming of the connection clamp 11 according to the invention should normally be done on the very places of use thereof, it can, in this variant embodiment, be done prior to this setting place, as shown in Figure 8.
  • the fixing tab 13 then occupies a high position on the body 12.
  • connection clamp 11 At the places of use of the connection clamp 11, there is an engagement from the top of this fixing tab 13 in a socket 16 of the support 14, according to arrow F5 in FIG. 8, until the intervention of the latching means 18 of this socket 16, the tongue of fixing 13 having as previously a recess 23, or billing, to cooperate with them.
  • the lateral edges of the fixing tab 13 are each cut down by a chamfer 56 at the base thereof, to facilitate its engagement in the socket 16.
  • the fixing tab 13 is driven by the latter if the force of the latching means 18 is greater than the forces of friction to which it is otherwise subjected.
  • the fixing tongue which can have a lug, the body of the connection clamp then having a groove, or buttonhole, in which this lug is engaged.
