Abstract

The connection process involves utilising an additional cavity (9) which is made with a square cross-section on at least one of the two large insulating surfaces (4) of the connector (1) in the space separating two paired contacts (2,3). The lever arm (12) lies along the plug (8) and has a hook (14) at its free end (13) to clip in the cavity by an elastic return motion when the plug is engaged. Its other end (18) to the rear of the plug may be levered to disengage the arm. The elastic return effect is produced by a protruding point (19) of elastic material. The plug may be adapted to encompass a number of pairs of contacts.

Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un dispositif de connexion sécurisée d'un cordon de brassage sur une réglette d'interconnexion de lignes téléphoniques ou informatiques.The present invention relates to a method and to a device for the secure connection of a patch cord on a strip for interconnection of telephone or computer lines.

Il est connu d'interconnecter deux réglettes entre elles à l'aide d'un ou plusieurs « cordons de brassage » Le document EP-A-0.524.115 de la Société Demanderesse décrit, entre autres, comment on réalise, par une fiche de connexion appropriée, le branchement d'un tel cordon sur une réglette. Ces cordons de brassage sont par ailleurs nécessaires lorsque l'on travaille avec des lignes à haut débit, soit pour connecter une ou plusieurs lignes sur un appareil électrique, soit pour connecter des lignes entre elles.It is known to interconnect two strips with one another using one or more “patch cords”. Document EP-A-0.524.115 from the Applicant Company describes, among other things, how a plug is made appropriate connection, the connection of such a cord to a strip. These patch cords are also necessary when working with high speed lines, either to connect one or more lines to an electrical device, or to connect lines between them.

Une installation téléphonique ou informatique peut comporter un très grand nombre de réglettes sur un même châssis, ces réglettes étant très rapprochées l'une de l'autre. On est alors en présence d'une véritable forêt de cordons de brassage qui sont serrés l'un contre l'autre. Si chaque cordon de brassage est simplement enfiché sur sa réglette, il peut arriver qu'en le manipulant, l'opérateur débranche accidentellement un ou plusieurs autres cordons de brassage voisins, et ne sache alors plus où rebrancher ceux-ci. Il peut aussi arriver qu'il ne déboîte que partiellement un ou plusieurs cordons voisins, et qu'il ne s'en aperçoive alors pas, de sorte qu'une ou plusieurs lignes restent alors débranchées sans qu'on le sache.A telephone or computer installation can include a very large number of strips on the same chassis, these strips being very close to one another. We are then in the presence of a real forest of patch cords which are tight against each other. If each patch cord is simply plugged into its strip, it may happen that by handling it, the operator accidentally disconnects one or more other neighboring patch cords, and then does not know where to reconnect these. It can also happen that it only partially dislocates one or more neighboring cords, and that it then does not notice it, so that one or more lines then remain disconnected without being aware of it.

Le document FR-A-2.698.511 décrit à ce propos une fiche de connexion d'un cordon de brassage, dite « push-pull », qui est munie d'une part d'une pièce de verrouillage qui entoure cette fiche de connexion et qui comporte plusieurs bras élastiques à crochets qui viennent s'enficher dans des interstices naturels de la réglette, et d'autre part d'une pièce de déverrouillage mobile axialement par rapport à ladite pièce de verrouillage, qui entoure cette dernière et qui coopère avec elle pour défaire l'encliquetage des bras élastiques à crochets sur la réglette lorsqu'on tire axialement sur cette pièce de déverrouillage.The document FR-A-2,698,511 describes in this connection a connection plug of a patch cord, called "push-pull", which is provided on the one hand with a locking piece which surrounds this connection plug and which comprises several elastic arms with hooks which come to be plugged into natural interstices of the strip, and on the other hand an unlocking part movable axially with respect to said locking piece, which surrounds the latter and which cooperates with it to undo the snap-fastening of the elastic arms with hooks on the strip when it is pulled axially on this unlocking part.

Ce dispositif de connexion sécurisée connu ne nécessite aucune modification de la réglette. En revanche, son déverrouillage, qui nécessite de saisir entre deux doigts la pièce de déverrouillage, pour la tirer vers l'arrière, devient pratiquement impossible, sans utiliser un outil spécialement adapté, lorsqu'on est en présence d'un forêt de cordons de brassage serrés l'un contre l'autre car la place n'est pas suffisante pour passer les doigts. En outre, un tel dispositif est de réalisation assez complexe et donc onéreuse.This known secure connection device does not require any modification of the strip. On the other hand, its unlocking, which requires grasping the unlocking piece between two fingers, to pull it backwards, becomes practically impossible, without using a specially adapted tool, when one is in the presence of a forest of cords of brewing tightly against each other because there is not enough room to pass the fingers. In addition, such a device is quite complex and therefore expensive to produce.

L'invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients. Elle se rapporte à cet effet à un procédé et à un dispositif pour réaliser, de manière sécurisée, la connexion de la fiche d'extrémité d'un cordon de brassage sur une réglette réceptrice, ce procédé consistant :

  • d'une part à ménager, dans la partie isolante d'au moins une des deux grandes faces de la réglette, dans l'espace isolant qui sépare, sur cette grande face de la réglette, deux contacts autodénudants d'une même paire et sensiblement au niveau de la rangée correspondante de contacts de connexion autodénudante, au moins une cavité additionnelle
  • et d'autre part à équiper cette fiche de connexion du cordon de brassage d'un bras, longiligne et basculant, de verrouillage dont une extrémité libre porte un crochet qui vient, par effet de rappel élastique de basculement, s'encliqueter, avec effet de verrouillage, dans ladite cavité lorsque cette fiche est installée en position sur la réglette, et dont l'autre extrémité libre est positionnée à l'arrière de cette fiche et constitue un levier de déverrouillage, par basculement forcé, de ce bras de verrouillage.
The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. To this end, it relates to a method and to a device for securely connecting the end plug of a patch cord to a receiving strip, this method consisting:
  • on the one hand, in the insulating part of at least one of the two large faces of the strip, in the insulating space which separates, on this large face of the strip, two insulating contacts of the same pair and substantially at the level of the corresponding row of insulation displacement connection contacts, at least one additional cavity
  • and on the other hand to equip this connection plug of the patch cord with a long, tilting arm, of locking, of which a free end carries a hook which comes, by elastic tilting return effect, to snap in, with effect locking, in said cavity when this plug is installed in position on the strip, and the other free end of which is positioned at the rear of this plug and constitutes an unlocking lever, by forced tilting, of this locking arm.

Avantageusement, cette cavité additionnelle est ménagée dans l'espace isolant qui sépare, sur cette grande face de la réglette, deux contacts autodénudants d'une même paire.Advantageously, this additional cavity is formed in the insulating space which separates, on this large face of the strip, two insulation displacement contacts of the same pair.

Avantageusement, cette cavité additionnelle est ménagée dans l'espace isolant qui sépare, sur cette grande face de la réglette, deux contacts autodénudants d'une même paire.Advantageously, this additional cavity is formed in the insulating space which separates, on this large face of the strip, two insulation displacement contacts of the same pair.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise, et ses divers avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront mieux, lors de la description suivante d'un exemple non limitatif de réalisation, en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel :

  • Figure 1 est une vue en perspective partiellement éclatée d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention, de connexion sécurisée d'un cordon de brassage sur une réglette.
  • Figure 2 montre ce cordon de brassage connecté, de manière sécurisée, sur cette réglette.
  • Figure 3, 4, 5 sont respectivement une vue latérale, une vue de dessus et une vue en bout par l'arrière, de la connexion sécurisée selon Figure 2.
In any case, the invention will be well understood, and its various advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly, during the following description of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partially exploded perspective view of a device according to the invention, for secure connection of a patch cord on a strip.
  • Figure 2 shows this patch cord connected securely to this strip.
  • Figure 3, 4, 5 are respectively a side view, a top view and an end view from the rear, of the secure connection according to Figure 2.

En se référant à l'ensemble des figures 1 à 5, la référence 1 désigne une portion du corps plastique d'une réglette d'interconnexion de lignes téléphoniques ou informatiques, par exemple une réglette telle que décrite dans le document EP-A-0.524.115 précité. Plus précisément, il est ici représenté une portion avant de la réglette qui inclut la connectique relative à une seule paire, c'est-à-dire en fait une première paire de contacts 2, 3 sur la grande face supérieure 4 de la réglette et une autre paire de contacts 5, 6 sur la grande face inférieure de la réglette, ces deux paires étant par exemple interconnectées, par une liaison élastique, à l'intérieur de la réglette.Referring to all of FIGS. 1 to 5, the reference 1 designates a portion of the plastic body of a strip for interconnection of telephone or computer lines, for example a strip as described in document EP-A-0.524 .115 cited above. More specifically, a front portion of the strip is shown here which includes the connection relating to a single pair, that is to say in fact a first pair of contacts 2, 3 on the large upper face 4 of the strip and another pair of contacts 5, 6 on the large underside of the strip, these two pairs being for example interconnected, by an elastic connection, inside the strip.

Comme il est décrit plus en détails dans le document EP-A-0.524. 115, il est possible d'enficher, sur la portion 1 seule ou sur plusieurs portions adjacentes, un cordon de brassage 7 pour relier les contacts de ligne 2, 3, 5, 6 soit à une autre réglette, soit à un appareil électronique. Ce cordon de brassage est muni en conséquence d'une fiche d'extrémité, ou connecteur, qui vient s'enficher sur la ou les portions de réglette 1 considérées.As described in more detail in document EP-A-0.524. 115, it is possible to insert, on the portion 1 alone or on several adjacent portions, a patch cord 7 for connecting the line contacts 2, 3, 5, 6 either to another strip, or to an electronic device. This patch cord is therefore provided with an end plug, or connector, which is plugged into the strip portion (s) 1 considered.

Conformément à l'invention et pour éviter que la fiche 8 ne se désemboîte accidentellement, deux dispositions concomitantes sont prévues :

  • Une petite cavité 9, de section rectangulaire, est ménagée sur la grande face supérieure 4 du corps plastique de la réglette. Cette cavité est positionnée légèrement en retrait de la face avant 10 de la réglette, c'est-à-dire sensiblement au niveau de la partie avant de la rangée correspondante de contacts de connexion autodénudante. Elle est ici ménagée au milieu de la portion 1 qui englobe les paires 2, 3 - 5, 6 enfourchées par le connecteur 8 et dans l'espace isolant 11 qui sépare, sur cette grande face 4 de la réglette, les deux contacts autodénudants de la paire supérieure 2, 3.
  • Le connecteur, ou fiche de connexion, 8 du cordon de brassage 7 est équipé d'un bras basculant 12, d'axe parallèle à celui de ce connecteur 8. Ce bras 12 est réalisé en matière plastique semi-rigide, et son extrémité libre avant 13 est positionnée légèrement en arrière de la face d'embouchure 15 du connecteur 8 et porte un crochet 14 de verrouillage par encliquetage dans la cavité 9 précitée.
In accordance with the invention and to avoid that the plug 8 accidentally disengages, two concomitant provisions are provided:
  • A small cavity 9, of rectangular section, is formed on the large upper face 4 of the plastic body of the strip. This cavity is positioned slightly behind the front face 10 of the strip, that is to say substantially at the level of the front part of the corresponding row of insulation displacement connection contacts. It is here provided in the middle of the portion 1 which includes the pairs 2, 3 - 5, 6 straddled by the connector 8 and in the insulating space 11 which separates, on this large face 4 of the strip, the two insulation displacement contacts of the upper pair 2, 3.
  • The connector, or connection plug, 8 of the patch cord 7 is equipped with a tilting arm 12, with an axis parallel to that of this connector 8. This arm 12 is made of semi-rigid plastic, and its free end front 13 is positioned slightly behind the mouth face 15 of the connector 8 and carries a hook 14 for snap locking in the aforementioned cavity 9.

Le bras 12 bascule autour d'un axe métallique 16 qui est positionné transversalement dans la partie supérieure 17 du corps plastique de la fiche de connexion 8, environ à mi-longueur du bras 12. Une saignée 20 est prévue dans cette partie supérieure 17 du corps plastique de la fiche pour laisser libre passage au bras 12.The arm 12 swings around a metal axis 16 which is positioned transversely in the upper part 17 of the plastic body of the connection plug 8, approximately halfway along the arm 12. A groove 20 is provided in this upper part 17 of the plastic body of the plug to allow free passage to the arm 12.

L'extrémité arrière 18 de ce bras basculant 12 arrive à l'arrière de la fiche 8, de sorte qu'il est aisé d'appuyer sur cette extrémité arrière 18 pour faire basculer le bras 12 dans le but de déverrouiller le crochet avant 14 de la cavité 9 qui le retient normalement.The rear end 18 of this tilting arm 12 arrives at the rear of the plug 8, so that it is easy to press on this rear end 18 to tilt the arm 12 in order to unlock the front hook 14 of the cavity 9 which retains it normally.

Afin de créer un effet de rappel élastique tendant à faire basculer le crochet 14 vers l'avant, un picot, ou protubérance, 19, en matière élastique telle qu'en élastomère, est prévu, dans le corps de la fiche 8, en arrière de l'axe de basculement 16. Lorsque l'on appuie sur l'extrémité arrière 18 du bras 12 pour le faire basculer vers l'arrière, le picot 19 s'écrase et repousse élastiquement le bras 12 comme pour le faire rebasculer vers l'avant. En outre, une légère déformation élastique (non visible sur le dessin) de ce bras, crée aussi un effet de répulsion élastique vers l'avant lorsque l'on appuie sur sa partie arrière 18 à l'encontre de la résistance due à la butée 19.In order to create an elastic return effect tending to tilt the hook 14 forwards, a pin, or protuberance, 19, made of elastic material such as an elastomer, there is provided, in the body of the plug 8, behind the pivot axis 16. When the rear end 18 of the arm 12 is pressed to tilt it backwards, the pin 19 crashes and resiliently pushes arm 12 as if to make it tilt back forward. In addition, a slight elastic deformation (not visible in the drawing) of this arm also creates an elastic repulsion effect towards the front when the rear part 18 is pressed against the resistance due to the stop. 19.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit. C'est ainsi que la fiche 8 pourrait englober plusieurs paires au lieu d'une seule et que le bras 12 pourrait être réalisé en toute autre matière rigide ou semi-rigide, par exemple en métal.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described. Thus the plug 8 could include several pairs instead of one and the arm 12 could be made of any other rigid or semi-rigid material, for example metal.

Bien entendu, la réglette 1 est prévue pour recevoir plusieurs cordons de brassage 7, munis chacun d'un connecteur 8, de sorte qu'en réalité la face 4 comporte plusieurs cavités 9, préférentiellement une cavité 9 par paire 2, 3. Bien entendu aussi, tout ou partie de ces cavités 9 pourraient être prévues sur l'autre grande face de la réglette, à l'homologue de l'emplacement représenté en Figure 1 pour la face 4 et alors les bras ou palettes de verrouillage correspondantes 12 seraient prévues en conséquence en bas du connecteur 8.Of course, the strip 1 is designed to receive several patch cords 7, each provided with a connector 8, so that in reality the face 4 has several cavities 9, preferably one cavity 9 per pair 2, 3. Of course also, all or part of these cavities 9 could be provided on the other large face of the strip, to the counterpart of the location shown in Figure 1 for the face 4 and then the corresponding locking arms or paddles 12 would be provided accordingly at the bottom of connector 8.
