Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Klemme aus bandförmigem Material, insbesondere für Installationsgeräte, beispielsweise Leitungsschutzschalter oder Fehlerstromschutzschalter, die einen rahmenartigen gefalteten Klemmkörper Klemme mit übereinanderliegenden Schenkeln aufweist, im einzelnen nach Gattungsbegriff von Patentanspruch 1. Eine derartige Schraubklemme ist bekannt (DE-A-1 790 153). Bei einer derartigen Klemme wird die Klemmschraube im Klemmkörper geführt, wobei gegebenenfalls ein Druckstück zwischen Klemmschraube und Klemmkörper aufgenommen werden kann. Der innenliegende Schenkel übergreift mit seitlichen Lappen den außenliegenden Schenkel.The invention relates to a clamp made of band-shaped material, in particular for installation devices, for example line circuit breakers or residual current circuit breakers, which has a frame-like folded clamp body clamp with legs one above the other, in detail according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a screw clamp is known (DE-A-1 790 153). In the case of such a clamp, the clamping screw is guided in the clamping body, it being possible for a pressure piece to be accommodated between the clamping screw and the clamping body. The inner leg overlaps the outer leg with lateral tabs.

Bei der bekannten Klemme wird die Klemmschraube in einem Durchzug der Seitenwand geführt, die den übereinanderliegenden Schenkeln gegenübersteht. Von den übereinanderliegenden Schenkeln weist der innenliegende seitliche Lappen auf, die in der gedachten Achse des Klemmkörpers sich seitlich über den außenliegenden Schenkel weiter erstrecken und eine Anlage für einen bügelförmig vorstehenden Teil des außenliegenden Schenkels bilden. Bei exakter Fertigung ist so der Klemmkörper gegen Auseinanderbiegen gesichert.In the known clamp, the clamping screw is guided in a passage of the side wall, which is opposite the legs lying one above the other. Of the legs lying one above the other, the inner lateral tab has a lateral extension over the outer leg in the imaginary axis of the clamping body and forms an abutment for a part of the outer leg protruding in a bow shape. With exact manufacture, the clamping body is secured against bending apart.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Klemme aus bandförmigem Material zu entwickeln, das dünn und weich sein kann, wobei Fertigungstoleranzen während der Fertigung ausgeglichen werden.The invention has for its object to develop a clamp made of band-shaped material that can be thin and soft, wherein manufacturing tolerances are compensated for during manufacture.

Die Lösung der geschilderten Aufgabe erfolgt durch eine Klemme nach Patentanspruch 1. Der außenliegende Schenkel ist in die Außenebene der umgreifenden Lappen hochgekröpft, und die außenliegenden Lappenenden sind zum hochgekröpften Bereich des außenliegenden Schenkels bis zur Berührung mit zumindest einem Teilbereich ihrer Schmalseite angedrückt. Die Lappen umfassen also die übereinanderliegenden Schenkel, wodurch eine flachere Bauweise erzielt wird und durch das Andrücken an den Kröpfungsbereich des außenliegenden Schenkels wird ein automatischer Toleranzausgleich während der Fertigung erzielt. Die Lappenenden können je nach Fertigungstoleranz den Kröpfungsbereich weiter außen oder weiter innen durch Anliegen erreichen.The described task is solved by a clamp according to claim 1. The outer leg is cranked up into the outer plane of the encircling flap, and the outer flap ends are cranked up Area of the outer leg pressed up to contact with at least a portion of its narrow side. The flaps thus encompass the legs lying one above the other, as a result of which a flatter design is achieved and, by pressing on the offset area of the outer leg, an automatic tolerance compensation is achieved during production. Depending on the manufacturing tolerance, the flap ends can reach the cranking area further outside or further inside by contact.

Es ist günstig, nach einer Weiterbildung den innenliegenden Schenkel mit seiner Schmalseite an der Wand des Klemmkörpers anstoßen zu lassen. Im Zusammenspiel mit dem Toleranzausgleich durch die anliegenden Lappenenden im Kröpfungsbereich wird hierdurch ein besonders stabiler Klemmkörper gebildet.According to a further development, it is advantageous to have the narrow side of the inside leg abut the wall of the clamping body. In combination with the tolerance compensation by the flap ends in the offset area, a particularly stable clamping body is formed.

Nach der Grundlösung und nach der Weiterbildung wird ein stabiler Klemmkörper auch bei weichem und besonders dünnem Material erzielt.After the basic solution and after further training, a stable clamping body is achieved even with soft and particularly thin material.

Es ist weiter günstig, die Klemmschraube in einem Gewinde im innenliegenden und im außenliegenden Schenkel zu führen, wobei die umgreifenden Lappen in ihrer Außenebene gegen die Klemmschraube freistehen. Die Klemmschraube wird also in einem im innenliegenden und im außenliegenden Schenkel eingebrachten Gewinde geführt, wobei eine infolge des Toleranzausgleichs unterschiedliche Position der Lappen nicht stört und die Festigkeit der Klemmschraube bei nachträglichem Einbringen des Gewindes für die Klemmschraube andererseits nicht beeinträchtigt wird.It is furthermore favorable to guide the clamping screw in a thread in the inside and in the outside leg, the encompassing tabs being free against the clamping screw in their outer plane. The clamping screw is thus guided in a thread inserted in the inside and in the outside leg, whereby a different position of the tabs as a result of the tolerance compensation does not interfere and the strength of the clamping screw is not impaired when the thread for the clamping screw is subsequently inserted.

Nach einer Ausgestaltung wird der hochgekröpfte Bereich des innenliegenden Schenkels in der Außenebene der umgreifenden Lappen zu einem Sütz- oder Greifende verlängert ausgeführt. Man erzielt so eine breitere Auflagefläche und andererseits ein Greifende für maschinelle Handhabung der Klemme. Auch die außenliegenden Lappen können in ihrer Außenebene zu einem Stütz- oder Greifende verlängert ausgeführt werden. Nach einer Weiterbildung werden die Schenkel im übereinanderliegenden Bereich und im Biegebereich zumindest um das Ausmaß der Dicke der Lappen schmaler ausgeführt als beim übrigen Klemmkörper. Dadurch erreicht man, daß trotz der Falttechnik die Breite des durch die Bandbreite bestimmten Klemmkörpers nicht überschritten wird.According to one embodiment, the cranked area of the inner leg is extended in the outer plane of the encompassing flaps to a supporting or gripping end. In this way, a wider contact area is achieved and, on the other hand, a gripping end for mechanical handling of the clamp. Also the outer flaps can be extended to a support or gripping end in their outer plane. According to a further development, the legs in the area lying one above the other and in the bending area are made narrower than the rest of the clamping body, at least by the extent of the thickness of the tabs. This ensures that, despite the folding technique, the width of the clamp body determined by the bandwidth is not exceeded.

Es ist besonders günstig, den außenliegenden Schenkel vor seinem hochgekröpften Bereich gegensinnig zu kröpfen, so daß eine kleine Senke entsteht, in die die Enden der umgreifenden Lappen hineingedrückt werden können. Der mögliche Toleranzausgleich wird dadurch vergrößert und beim Einbiegen der Lappenenden wird gegen seitliche Kräfte in beiderlei Richtung fester Halt vermittelt.It is particularly favorable to crank the outer leg in the opposite direction in front of its cranked area, so that a small depression is formed, into which the ends of the encompassing tabs can be pressed. The possible tolerance compensation is thereby increased and when the flap ends are bent in, firm hold is imparted against lateral forces in both directions.

Wenn in den umgreifenden Lappen jeweils über der Längsseite der übereinanderliegenden Schenkel zumindest eine Ausnehmung oder Durchbruch ausgebildet wird, kann beim Anziehen der Klemmschraube eine gewisse Ausfederung erreicht werden, die in an sich bekannter Weise das Gewinde an der Klemmschraube seitlich wie Bremsbacken anliegen läßt, so daß die Klemmschraube auch bei Schüttelbewegungen nicht lösen kann. Bei entsprechend dünnem Material tritt eine Federwirkung auch ohne diese seitlichen Ausnehmungen auf. Es hängt vom beabsichtigten Einsatz ab, welche Ausgestaltung vorteilhafter ist.If at least one recess or breakthrough is formed in the encompassing tabs over the longitudinal side of the superimposed legs, a certain deflection can be achieved when the clamping screw is tightened, which, in a manner known per se, allows the thread on the clamping screw to lie laterally like brake shoes, so that the clamping screw cannot loosen even with shaking movements. With a correspondingly thin material, a spring action occurs even without these lateral recesses. Which design is more advantageous depends on the intended use.

Wenn die Klemmschraube in den übereinanderliegenden Schenkeln geführt ist, gewinnt man insgesamt die Vorteile, daß weiches, elektrisch gut leitendes Material und auch preisgünstiges Material verwendet werden kann, das ohne nachträgliche Behandlung und Verschweißung maßhaltig miteinander verfaltet werden kann. Für das Gewinde sind keine besonderen Durchzüge, also herausgebogene Krägen erforderlich und man benötigt auch keine zusätzlichen stabilen Einsatzkörper, um die Klemmschraube sicher und kraftvoll zu führen.If the clamping screw is guided in the legs lying one above the other, the overall advantages are gained that soft, electrically highly conductive material and also inexpensive material can be used, which can be folded together dimensionally without subsequent treatment and welding. No special pull-throughs, i.e. bent-out collars, are required for the thread and no additional stable insert body is required, to guide the clamping screw safely and powerfully.

Die Klemmschraube kann für sich oder als Teil einer sogenannten Fahrstuhlklemme in einem äußeren Führungsrahmen eingesetzt werden. Bei einer sogenannten Fahrstuhlklemme wird der Klemmkörper in einem äußeren Führungsgestell beim Verschrauben gegen das Führungsgestell gehoben oder abgesenkt, wobei das Führungsgestell zugleich ein Druckstück bilden kann. Verständlicherweise können am Klemmkörper auch Schürzen angebracht sein, um bei Einsatz in einem Installationsgerät ein falsches Einführen von Leitern zu verhindern, ebenso können auch federnde Druckstücke eingesetzt werden, so daß man auf die Federwirkung der übereinanderliegenden Schenkel nicht mehr angewiesen ist, um ein Lockern der Klemmschraube zu verhindern. Durch ein federndes Druckstück kann andererseits die Klemme in Offenstellung bereitgestellt werden.The clamping screw can be used alone or as part of a so-called elevator clamp in an outer guide frame. In a so-called elevator clamp, the clamping body in an outer guide frame is raised or lowered when screwed against the guide frame, the guide frame can also form a pressure piece. Understandably, aprons can also be attached to the clamp body to prevent incorrect insertion of conductors when used in an installation device, and resilient pressure pieces can also be used, so that one no longer has to rely on the spring action of the superimposed legs to loosen the clamp screw to prevent. On the other hand, the clamp can be provided in the open position by a resilient pressure piece.

Die Klemme nach FIG 1 ist aus bandförmigem Material gefertigt. Sie weist einen rahmenartigen Klemmkörper 1 und eine Klemmschraube 2 auf. Der Klemmkörper ist gefaltet und hat übereinanderliegende Schenkel 3,4, nämlich einen innenliegenden Schenkel 3 und einen außenliegenden Schenkel 4. Der innenliegende Schenkel 3 weist seitliche Lappen 5 auf, die den außenliegenden Schenkel 4 umgreifen. Der außenliegende Schenkel 4 ist bis in eine gedachte Außenebene 6 der umgreifenden Lappen hochgekröpft. Die außenliegenden Lappenenden 7, man vgl. FIG 4, sind zum hochgekröpften Bereich 8 des außenliegenden Schenkels 4 bis zur Berührung mit zumindest einem Teilbereich ihrer Schmalseite 9 angedrückt.The clamp according to FIG. 1 is made from a band-shaped material. It has a frame-like clamping body 1 and a clamping screw 2. The clamping body is folded and has legs 3, 4 located one above the other, namely an inner leg 3 and an outer leg 4. The inner leg 3 has lateral tabs 5 which engage around the outer leg 4. The outer leg 4 is cranked up into an imaginary outer plane 6 of the encompassing tabs. The outer flap ends 7, cf. 4, are pressed against the cranked area 8 of the outer leg 4 until they come into contact with at least a partial area of its narrow side 9.

Der innenliegende Schenkel 3 stößt beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach FIG 1 mit seiner Schmalseite 10 an der Wand des Klemmkörpers 1 an. Die Klemmschraube 2 ist in einem Gewinde im innenliegenden und im außenliegenden Schenkel 3 bzw.4 geführt, wobei die umgreifenden seitlichen Lappen 5 in ihrer Außenebene 6 gegen die Klemmschraube freistehen.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the inner leg 3 abuts the wall of the clamping body 1 with its narrow side 10. The clamping screw 2 is guided in a thread in the inner and in the outer legs 3 and 4, the encompassing lateral tabs 5 standing free in their outer plane 6 against the clamping screw.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel ist in seinem Aufbau im einzelnen aus den Figuren 1 bis 4 zu ersehen. Am Boden des Klemmkörpers können, wie in FIG 3 veranschaulicht, Kontaktrippen 11 ausgeformt sein. Im übrigen kann der Boden des Klemmkörpers am Einlaß und am Auslaß in an sich bekannter Weise V-förmig ausgebildet sein, um einem anzuschließenden Leiter einen Halt in mittiger Lage zu geben. Man vergleiche FIG 1.The design of the exemplary embodiment can be seen in detail from FIGS. 1 to 4. As illustrated in FIG. 3, contact ribs 11 can be formed on the bottom of the clamping body. In addition, the bottom of the clamping body at the inlet and at the outlet can be formed in a V-shaped manner known per se in order to give a conductor to be connected a stop in the central position. Compare FIG. 1.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach FIG 5 ist der hochgekröpfte Bereich 8 des innenliegenden Schenkels 3 in der Außenebene 6 der umgreifenden seitlichen Lappen 5 zu einem Stütz- oder Greifende 12 verlängert. Auch die außenliegenden seitlichen Lappen 5 können in ihrer Außenebene 6 zu einem Stütz oder Greifende 13 verlängert ausgeführt sein, wie es in FIG 5 veranschaulicht ist. Die Figuren 6 bis 8 entsprechen im übrigen den Figuren 2 bis 4.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5, the cranked area 8 of the inner leg 3 in the outer plane 6 of the encompassing lateral tabs 5 is extended to a support or gripping end 12. The outer lateral tabs 5 can also be extended in their outer plane 6 to a support or gripping end 13, as is illustrated in FIG. 5. Figures 6 to 8 otherwise correspond to Figures 2 to 4.

Es ist vorteilhaft, die Schenkel 3 und 4 im übereinanderliegenden Bereich und im Biegebereich zumindest um das Ausmaß der Dicke der seitlichen Lappen 5 schmaler auszuführen als beim übrigen Klemmkörper, wie es aus den Figuren 2 und 3 bzw. 6 und 7 zu ersehen ist. Hierdurch wird die Außenkontur des Klemmkörpers in der Ansicht nach den Figuren 2 und 3 bzw. 6 und 7 trotz Umbiegens der seitlichen Lappen 5 eingehalten.It is advantageous to make the legs 3 and 4 narrower in the area lying one above the other and in the bending area, at least by the extent of the thickness of the lateral tabs 5, than with the rest of the clamping body, as can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3 or 6 and 7. As a result, the outer contour of the clamping body is maintained in the view according to FIGS. 2 and 3 or 6 and 7 despite the lateral flaps 5 being bent.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, den außenliegenden Schenkel 4 vor seinem hochgekröpften Bereich 8 gegensinnig zu kröpfen, wie es in den Figuren 1 bzw. 5 veranschaulicht ist. Dadurch können die Lappenenden 7 einen weiten Bereich vorfinden, in dem sie je nach Toleranz früher oder später eine Anlage am hochgekröpften Bereich des außenliegenden Schenkels 4 finden.It is particularly advantageous to crank the outer leg 4 in the opposite direction in front of its cranked region 8, as is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 5. As a result, the flap ends 7 can find a wide area in which, depending on the tolerance, they will sooner or later find contact with the cranked-up area of the outer leg 4.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Figuren 9 und 10 weisen die umgreifenden seitlichen Lappen 5 jeweils über der Längsseite der übereinanderliegenden Schenkel 3 bzw.4 zumindest eine Ausnehmung 14 auf.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 9 and 10, the encompassing lateral tabs 5 each have at least one recess 14 over the longitudinal side of the legs 3 and 4 lying one above the other.
