Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a female electrical contact member.
  • the invention relates to an electrical contact member of the type formed by a body made of a material that is good conductor of electricity and endowed with a certain elasticity, the body being bent in a U, one end having crimping lugs. for fixing an electrical conductor, while inside the U extending contact strips forming an elastic clamp intended to enclose a male tab which may possibly be constituted by a printed circuit.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy these various drawbacks.
  • the female electrical contact member is of the type produced from a metal strip which is a good conductor of electricity and has a certain elasticity, said strip being cut and folded to present, at one end, means for fixing an electrical conductor, while the other end assumes the shape of a U with a core and two wings, each wing, along its free edge, on the side opposite its free end, comprising a band folded towards the inside of the U and extended towards the free end of the latter by an elastic bar arched so as to constitute an elastic clamp intended for enclosing a male tongue, said member being characterized in that each elastic bar, on its face turned opposite the corresponding wing, has attached and fixed, an independent complementary elastic tongue.
  • each elastic bar on its face turned opposite the corresponding wing, comprises studs engaged in holes of the complementary tongues and whose free ends are open, each wing having a light in line with the studs.
  • the free ends of the wings and of the core include plates folded inwards towards the inside of the U.
  • the ends of the wings turned towards the side of the means for fixing an electrical conductor comprise a stop extending inside the U perpendicular to said wings.
  • the male tongues can only be engaged over a certain length.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the manufacture of the female member, according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the folding of a female member, according to the invention.
  • Figure 3 shows in perspective the female organ made.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along line 5-5 of Figure 4.
  • Figure 1 is shown in perspective, the manufacture of the female member according to the invention.
  • a series of bodies 1 is produced by cutting, which are attached by a tail 3 from one end to a conveyor belt 2.
  • the bodies 1 are cut to present, in the vicinity of the tails 3, lugs 4 intended to be crimped onto a conductor 5 and lugs 6 intended to enclose a stripped end 7 of the conductor 5.
  • a portion 10 intended to be folded in a U to form a core 11 and two wings 12 and 12 a .
  • the wings 12 and 12 a are made elongated slots 14 and 14 a , respectively, while the core 11 is pierced with an opening 15 for fixing the member in a channel of a housing element.
  • the free edge of the wing 12, on the side opposite its free end, is connected by a strip 16 to an elastic bar 17.
  • the bar 17 On the side facing the legs 6, the bar 17 is extended by a stop 18, a notch 19 being formed in its part facing the core 11.
  • the bar 17 is arched on the side opposite to the stop 18 and is terminated by a flange 20.
  • the bar 17 has, in its middle part in the vicinity of the stop 18, two pins 21.
  • the wing 12 a is extended by an elastic bar 17 a shaped in the same way as the bar 17 and we have used to designate the corresponding parts of the bar 17 have the same references as those used for the description of the bar 17, but assigned the letter "a".
  • the conveyor belt 2 moves step by step in the direction of the arrow f.
  • a second strip 25 is provided which moves step by step in the direction of arrow G and which is cut to present pairs of complementary tongues 26 adjoining the strip 25 by tails 27 and pierced with holes 28.
  • Each tongue 26 has an extended rectilinear part, on the side opposite the tail 27, by a curved part 26 a terminated by a flange 26 b .
  • the pairs of complementary tongues 26 are positioned one facing the bar 17 of a body 1 and the other facing the bar 17 has the neighboring body 1 then applied against said bars 17 and 17 a so that the pins 21 and 21 a pass through the holes 28, the said pins being opened out, at their free end, in order to secure the complementary tongues 26 with the corresponding bars 17, 17 a .
  • the tails 27 are cut and the stops 18 and 18 is folded perpendicularly to the webs 17 and 17a outwardly.
  • the elastic bar 17 thus equipped with a complementary tongue 16 is folded along the strip 16 so that the complementary tongue 26 comes to apply by its rectilinear part against the internal face of the wing 12, the open ends of the pins 21 coming to lodge in the light 14.
  • the elastic bar 17 a is folded in the same way, the open ends of the pins 21 a coming to be housed in the slot 14 a . (see figure 2).
  • the wings 12 and 12 a are then folded to extend parallel and perpendicular to the core 11 after the plates 13 have been folded inwards.
  • the stops 18, 18 a are placed perpendicular to the wings 12, 12 a and thus limit the engagement of the male tongue 30 between the bars 17, 17 a .
