Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to electrical devices whose mechanism is housed in a sealed housing because they are normally intended to be implemented in a humid atmosphere.
  • the flap advantageously protects this socket, and therefore the underlying mechanism, when no socket plug is plugged in.
  • the shutter seal is in itself a separate part, which, for its realization, requires a specific operation, and which must then be attached to the assembly.
  • the flap seal is attached by gluing to the flap , for cooperation with the edge of the cover flange.
  • this flap joint requires a non-negligible time prejudicial to the cost price of the assembly, its assembly with the flap is in practice frequently poorly controlled, in particular because the deposit of prior adhesive is always done more or less random.
  • the present invention generally relates to a provision which makes it possible to avoid these drawbacks and which also leads to other advantages.
  • any electrical appliance of the kind comprising, for housing any mechanism, a housing body, a cover which closes the housing body while leaving access to the mechanism, a first gasket sealing, here called cover seal, which is inserted between the cover and the housing body, a flap, which is articulated to the cover, to cover at rest the at least part thereof concerned by the mechanism, and a second seal sealing, here called flap gasket, which intervenes between the flap and the cover when the flap is folded over the cover
  • this electrical device being generally characterized in that, jointly, on the one hand, the gasket flap extends to the upper surface of the cover and the cover seal is carried by the latter, and, on the other hand, the flap seal is integral with the cover seal, forming by molding one and the same part therewith, the cover being traversed right through by at least one passage through which the flap seal is in continuity with the cover seal.
  • the cover on the one hand, and the flap and cover seals that it carries, on the other hand, result jointly from a two-material molding.
  • the flap gasket advantageously does not require any particular operation, either for its production or for its assembly.
  • this shutter seal being in a way trapped in the cover in the manner of an insert, its assembly with this cover is perfectly controlled, for the benefit of its behavior and the desired tightness.
  • an electrical device 10 has its mechanism 11 housed in a sealed housing 12.
  • the housing 12 is generally parallelepipedic, with, in plan, a generally square contour.
  • this housing 12 comprises a housing body 15, which allows the housing of the mechanism 11 and the connection to the latter of the electrical conductors, not shown, necessary for its service, a cover 16, which closes the body housing 15 while leaving access to the mechanism 11, a first seal 17, said here for convenience, cover seal, which, according to arrangements described in more detail later, is inserted between the cover 16 and the housing body 15, a flap 18, which is articulated to the cover 16, to cover, at rest, at least the part of it concerned by the mechanism 11, and a second seal 19, said here for simple convenience flap seal , which, according to methods also described in more detail later, intervenes between the shutter 18 and the cover 16 when, as shown in FIG. 1, the shutter 18 is folded over the cover 16.
  • the cover 16 closes the housing body 15 at full section, and, on the contrary, the flap 18 only corresponds to a portion of the corresponding section, the cover 16 forming, in front of this flap 18, a step 20 facilitating the gripping thereof when it is in the folded position.
  • the cover 16 has, laterally, projecting from its upper surface, two flanges 22, which extend perpendicular to the step 20, starting from the latter, and which, at their end opposite to this step 20, each respectively forms two openings 23 for which the flap 18 is articulated.
  • this flange 24 has, in plan, a circular outline.
  • the cover 16 further comprises, at its periphery, a dropped edge 30, which extends over its entire perimeter, and with which the preceding flanges 22 are each respectively locally in continuity.
  • the cover 16 comprises, finally, at least one bore 31, which passes right through it, for the passage of any closure member, such as screw 32, Figure 2, or the like.
  • two holes 31 are provided, in positions diagonally opposite one with respect to the other on either side of the well 25.
  • the flap seal 19 extends to the upper surface of the cover 16 and the cover seal 17 is carried by the latter, and, on the other hand, the seal flap 19 is in one piece with the cover gasket 17, forming by molding a single and same part with the latter, the cover 16 being traversed right through by at least one passage 34, FIG. 6, through which the flap seal 19 is in continuity with the cover seal 17.
  • the cover gasket 17, which extends annularly around the axis of the assembly, and which, in cross section, can have any profile, is embedded in the cover 16 in favor a recess 35 cutting the edge 36 of its fallen edge 30 and its inner surface.
  • this cover gasket 17, which will not be described in more detail here, is in one piece with a skirt 38 which internally lines the fallen edge 30 of the cover 16 over the entire height. from this fallen edge 30.
  • the flap seal 19 extends annularly around the flange 24 of the cover 16, away from the holes 31 of the latter, leaving these holes 31 outside its outer contour.
  • the flap seal 19 extends in contact with the flange 24, by encircling the latter from its base, that is to say from the upper surface of the cover 16.
  • the flap gasket 19 extends over almost the entire height of the flange 24, by being fitted thereon by means of a recess 39 cutting into its edge and its outer surface.
  • the flap seal 19 is in continuity with the cover seal 17 by at least one bridge 40 which, in one piece with this flap seal 19, thanks to the corresponding passage 34 of the cover 16, s' extends to the lower surface of the cover 16 from this passage 34.
  • a single passage 34 is provided, and, for this, a single bridge 40.
  • this bridge 40 extends radially with respect to the well 25, between the passage 34 and the skirt 38, and it is integral with it.
  • the cover 16 Independently of the passage 34 which connects the shutter seal 19 to the cover seal 17, and at a distance from this passage 34, the cover 16 is, in the embodiment shown, traversed right through by at least one other passage 34 ' by which the flap gasket 19 is in continuity with an anchoring stud 42 which, of larger dimensions, in plan, than those of this passage 34 ', extends to the lower surface of the cover 16, to strengthen the holding of this flap seal 19 thereon.
  • a single passage 34 ' is provided in this embodiment, and, therefore, a single anchoring stud 42, flush with the well 25, and in a position diagonally opposite to that of the passage 34 relative to the latter. .
  • each of the holes 31 of the cover 16 is individually surrounded by a specific seal 44, said below for simple convenience, seal, which, if desired, and as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 9 , can also be in continuity with the cover gasket 17, being connected in one piece by a bridge 45 thereto.
  • the cover 16 has, on its upper surface, in the embodiment shown, at least one braking block 50 which is intended to cooperate in friction with a fallen edge 51 of the flap 18, for retaining the latter in the folded-down position, and which, by a passage 34 "passing right through the cover 16, is in continuity with the cover gasket 17, by the intermediate of the skirt 38.
  • two brake blocks 50 are thus provided, at the ends, each respectively, of the flanges 22 of the cover 16, on the side of the step 20 thereof, and each of them is protected by a hook-shaped lug 53 which, coming in one piece from the upper surface of the cover 16, leaves it released laterally for cooperation with the fallen edge 51 correspondent for section 18.
  • drilling joints 44 can also result from this two-material molding.
  • the flap 18, meanwhile, has, projecting from its lower surface, for cooperation with the flap gasket 19 carried by the cover 16, a flange 55 whose outline, in plan, is the image of that of this flap seal 19.
  • this collar 55 therefore has a circular outline in plan.
  • the flap seal 19 has, at the outer periphery of its edge, in the embodiment shown, a step 56.
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate, by way of example, the application of the invention to an electrical appliance 10 other than a socket outlet.
  • It can for example be a switch, a back-and-forth or a push-button.
  • the cover 16 comprises, in this case, instead of the well 25, a central recess 25 ′, for the implantation of the corresponding mechanism 11.
  • the flap seal 19 extends annularly around this central recess 25 ', and, according to arrangements of the type described above, it is continuous with the corresponding cover seal, not visible on the figures.
  • this flap seal 19 bypasses by its internal contour the holes 31 that the cover 16 comprises.
