La technique antérieure connaît dans EP-A- 0 463 608 une réalisation dans laquelle l'âme et la paroi de plafond sont prolongées d'un même côté, chacune par une patte élastique, qui sont pliées à l'intérieur du conduit afin de réaliser un premier canal entre les pattes et un second canal entre la paroi de plafond et la patte correspondante.The prior art knows in EP-A-0 463 608 an embodiment in which the core and the ceiling wall are extended on the same side, each by an elastic tab, which are folded inside the duct in order to produce a first channel between the legs and a second channel between the ceiling wall and the corresponding leg.

Une telle réalisation présente notamment l'inconvénient que l'insertion d'une languette mâle dans l'un ou l'autre des canaux nécessite un effort important.Such an embodiment has the particular disadvantage that the insertion of a male tab in one or the other of the channels requires significant effort.

L'un des buts de l'invention est de réaliser un organe de type ci-dessus simple à fabriquer et dans lequel, au moins, l'introduction de la languette mâle dans l'un des canaux puisse se faire avec un effort faible tout en étant assuré que la liaison électrique soit convenable.One of the objects of the invention is to provide a member of the above type which is simple to manufacture and in which, at least, the introduction of the male tongue into one of the channels can be carried out with little effort. with the assurance that the electrical connection is suitable.

L'organe, selon l'invention est réalisé à partir d'une bande de métal bonne conductrice de l'électricité et douée d'une certaine élasticité et pliée pour présenter un conduit à section rectangulaire avec une âme, deux ailes et une paroi de plafond, la paroi de plafond comportant, vers l'intérieur, une barrette élastique, tandis que l'âme comporte, vers l'intérieur, une languette élastique, ledit organe présentant deux canaux destinés à recevoir chacun une languette mâle, les canaux s'ouvrant l'un d'un côté et l'autre du côté opposé, ledit organe étant caractérisé en ce que la languette élastique dont est pourvue l'âme est découpée dans ladite âme et convenablement cambrée pour s'étendre à l'intérieur sensiblement parallèlement à cette dernière le canal correspondant étant ménagé entre ladite languette élastique et ladite âme, tandis que la barrette élastique de la paroi de plafond est formée de deux prolongements de cette dernière du côté du canal opposé à celui ménagé entre la languette élastique découpée dans l'âme et cette dernière, et qui sont pliés vers l'intérieur du conduit pour présenter une première partie en épingle à cheveux et une seconde partie en épingle à cheveux, les extrémités libres portant contre la face interne de ladite paroi de plafond.The member according to the invention is produced from a metal strip which is a good conductor of electricity. and endowed with a certain elasticity and bent to present a duct of rectangular section with a core, two wings and a ceiling wall, the ceiling wall comprising, towards the inside, an elastic bar, while the core comprises, inwards, an elastic tongue, said member having two channels intended to each receive a male tongue, the channels opening one on one side and the other on the opposite side, said member being characterized in that the elastic tongue with which the core is provided is cut from said core and suitably arched to extend inside substantially parallel to the latter, the corresponding channel being formed between said elastic tongue and said core, while the elastic bar of the wall ceiling is formed by two extensions of the latter on the side of the channel opposite to that formed between the elastic tongue cut from the core and the latter , and which are bent towards the inside of the duct to present a first hairpin part and a second hairpin part, the free ends bearing against the internal face of said ceiling wall.

Suivant une caractéristique de détail, l'extrémité libre de la languette élastique est pliée du côté opposé à l'âme.According to a characteristic of detail, the free end of the elastic tongue is folded on the side opposite to the core.

Suivant un détail constructif, la paroi de plafond, du côté opposé à son extrémité pourvue des barrettes élastiques, présente une butée s'étendant en direction de l'âme et jusqu'au droit de l'extrémité libre de la languette élastique.According to a constructive detail, the ceiling wall, on the side opposite its end provided with elastic bars, has a stop extending in the direction of the core and to the right of the free end of the elastic tongue.

Suivant encore un détail- constructif, la paroi de plafond, sur son bord libre, comporte une patte, tandis que l'aile correspondante est pourvue, d'une part, d'un rabat destiné à être replié contre la face externe de ladite paroi de plafond et, d'autre part, d'une fente destinée à recevoir ladite patte.According to yet another constructive detail, the ceiling wall, on its free edge, has a tab, while the corresponding wing is provided, on the one hand, with a flap intended to be folded against the external face of said wall ceiling and, on the other hand, a slot intended to receive said tab.

Enfin, la paroi de plafond, au voisinage de son bord libre, présente un embouti avec lequel vient coopérer le rabat.Finally, the ceiling wall, in the vicinity of its free edge, has a stamped with which the flap cooperates.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 montre en plan le développé de l'organe de liaison électrique de languettes mâles, selon l'invention.Figure 1 shows in plan the development of the electrical connecting member of male tongues, according to the invention.

Figure 2 est une vue en perspective montrant une phase de fabrication de l'organe de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a manufacturing phase of the member of Figure 1.

Figure 3 montre en perspective l'organe terminé.Figure 3 shows in perspective the completed organ.

Figure 4 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne 4-4 de la figure 3.Figure 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne 5-5 de la figure 4.Figure 5 is a sectional view along line 5-5 of Figure 4.

L'organe représenté aux figures 1 à 5 est réalisé à partir d'une bande métallique 30 bonne conductrice de l'électricité et présentant une certaine élasticité. La bande 30 est découpée pour affecter une forme générale rectangulaire avec deux grands côtés parallèles 31 et 32 et deux petits côtés 33 et 34.The member shown in Figures 1 to 5 is made from a metal strip 30 good conductor of electricity and having a certain elasticity. The strip 30 is cut to have a generally rectangular shape with two large parallel sides 31 and 32 and two short sides 33 and 34.

La bande 30 est destinée à être pliée de manière à présenter une âme 37, deux ailes 38 et 39, l'aile 39 présentant un prolongement 40 destiné à constituer une paroi de plafond.The strip 30 is intended to be folded so as to present a core 37, two wings 38 and 39, the wing 39 having an extension 40 intended to constitute a ceiling wall.

Dans l'âme 37 est découpée une languette 42 qui est cambrée pour s'étendre- vers l'intérieur sensiblement parallèlement à l'âme et dont l'extrémité libre 42a est repliée du côté opposé à ladite âme 37.In the core 37 is cut a tongue 42 which is arched to extend inward substantially parallel to the core and whose free end 42a is folded back on the side opposite to said core 37.

La paroi de plafond 40 est, du côté du grand côté 31, prolongée par deux barrettes 35 et 35a qui sont pliées vers l'intérieur pour présenter une première partie pliée en épingle à cheveux 44 et une seconde partie 45, également pliée en épingle à cheveux, l'extrémité libre portant contre la face interne de la paroi 40. Entre les deux parties 44 et 45, chaque barrette 35, 35a présente un bossage 46.The ceiling wall 40 is, on the side of the long side 31, extended by two bars 35 and 35a which are folded inwards to present a first part folded in hairpin 44 and a second part 45, also folded in hairpin hair, the free end bearing against the internal face of the wall 40. Between the two parts 44 and 45, each bar 35, 35a has a boss 46.

La paroi de plafond 40, du côté opposé aux barrettes 35 et 35a, comporte un prolongement 48 qui est plié à angle droit et forme une butée.The ceiling wall 40, on the side opposite to the bars 35 and 35a, has an extension 48 which is bent at right angles and forms a stop.

L'aile 38, le long de son bord, est prolongée par un rabat 50 destiné à être replié sur le bord libre de la paroi 40 qui présente un léger embouti 54 afin que ledit rabat ne soit pas en saillie à la surface de ladite paroi 40.The wing 38, along its edge, is extended by a flap 50 intended to be folded over the free edge of the wall 40 which has a slight stamping 54 so that said flap does not protrude from the surface of said wall 40.

Le bord libre de la paroi 40 présente une patte 52, tandis qu'au droit de la ligne de pliage séparant le rabat 50 de l'aile 38, il est pratiqué une fente 51, dans laquelle s'insère la patte 52.The free edge of the wall 40 has a tab 52, while in line with the fold line separating the flap 50 from the wing 38, a slot 51 is made, in which the tab 52 is inserted.

Les ailes 38 et 39, à l'extrémité adjacente à la butée 48, comportent des oreilles 55.The wings 38 and 39, at the end adjacent to the stop 48, have ears 55.

On conçoit que l'organe ainsi formé affecte la forme d'un conduit à section rectangulaire dans lequel s'étend un premier canal 56 qui se trouve ménagé entre les barrettes 35, 35a et la languette 42, ce canal pouvant recevoir une première languette méplate 57 qui est enserrée élastiquement entre ces deux éléments. Du côté opposé au canal 56 est formé un second canal 58 ménagé entre la languete 42 et le fond de l'âme 37, celui-ci étant destiné à recevoir une seconde languette mâle 59.It will be understood that the member thus formed takes the form of a rectangular section conduit in which extends a first channel 56 which is formed between the bars 35, 35a and the tongue 42, this channel being able to receive a first flat tongue. 57 which is clamped elastically between these two elements. On the side opposite the channel 56 is formed a second channel 58 formed between the tongue 42 and the bottom of the core 37, the latter being intended to receive a second male tongue 59.

On remarquera que la butée 48 s'étend jusqu'au voisinage de l'extrémité libre 42a de la languette 42 de sorte qu'il est impossible d'insérer celle-ci dans une mauvaise position.Note that the stop 48 extends to the vicinity of the free end 42a of the tongue 42 so that it is impossible to insert the latter in a bad position.

Grâce à cette disposition, les languettes s'insèrent sans effort important dans les canaux et un bon contact électrique est assuré.Thanks to this arrangement, the tongues are inserted without significant effort into the channels and good electrical contact is ensured.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and shown. Many modifications of detail can be made without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims.
