Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connection device waterproof comprising a plug or the like intended to be connected with an outlet constituting the base of an outlet or outlet mobile of an extension or a connector.
  • GB-A-1 562 152 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the inventor had the merit of questioning this principle and to ensure sealing by means of a single seal arranged, unlike to known art, on the base and only on it, hereinafter referred to taken for the reasons of generalization mentioned above.
  • the inventor proposes a device for electrical connection according to claim 1.
  • the bearing surfaces of the cover and the plug housing are intended to come into contact with an area reduced by the curved part of the joint.
  • the bearing surface of the cover is tapered, while the bearing surface of the housing the plug is cylindrical parallel to the longitudinal axis of said casing.
  • the annular groove has a rectangular section as well as an internal rim from which the part projects bent over said seal and on which a corresponding part comes opposite of the cover or respectively of the plug housing in closed position of said cover and respectively in coupled position of said plug, while the outer wall of the groove annular has a longitudinal extension which extends beyond the inner rim of said groove.
  • the extension of the outer wall of the annular groove is further flared from back to front in the longitudinal direction, on at least the most of its periphery.
  • the seal has a rib peripheral provided on the outer face of its curved part, intended to rest on the internal wall of the throat, as well as a cut on the outside and at the base of its part curved and its foot is bevelled on its outside face.
  • the socket housing has a ring peripheral which covers at least partially its annular groove and therefore the seal housed therein.
  • the casing 1 more particularly of a socket outlet
  • the casing 2 a plug ( Figures 2 and 4) intended to be plugged in to be connect in said base.
  • a locking system in connection position here in the form of a hook 3 intended to engage with a corresponding part of the sheet (figure 4).
  • the casing 1 of the base is further provided with a cover 4 ( Figures 1, 2, 4 and 6) which is articulated at 5 opposite the hook 3.
  • the cover 4 is therefore pivotally mounted and can be locked in the closed position by means of the hook 3 (FIG. 6) already intended for lock the plug in the connection position, as already stated.
  • groove 6 has a section rectangular with an inner rim 8 and an extension 9 of its outer wall which flares here from back to front (these references being mentioned only in the enlarged figures and in particular in Figure 3, for clarity).
  • the seal 7 inserted in the groove 6 projects in the direction longitudinal with respect to the flange 8.
  • the joint section 7 has a general shape of a curved hook towards the inside.
  • the seal has a rib 7 'which comes apply to the extension 9 of the groove.
  • a notch 7 "has been made while the foot of said joint has a cutaway or bevel 7 '' ' (figure 3).
  • the seal 6 is additionally held in place by a ring 14, which is hung (for example by clipping) on the casing 1 and which comes partially cover the joint by resting on top of it, as the drawings clearly show.
  • the ring 14 By partially covering the seal, the ring 14 also provides in the open position, a good appearance from the aesthetic point of view.
  • the cover 4 and the casing 2 of the plug have bearing surfaces 10 and 11 on the joint 7, which terminate inward respectively by a tip 12 and a shoulder 13, the surface 10 of the cover being frustoconical with inward convergence in the closed position and back to front, while surface 11 of the plug is cylindrical parallel to the longitudinal axis of said plug, that is to say to the plug-in or mating direction.
  • bearing surfaces 10 and 11 can be well heard both cylindrical, or both tapered, or even respectively cylindrical and truncated conversely of the embodiment shown.
  • bearing surface 10 of the cover comes to the contact of the gasket 7 starting from the side of its articulation while that the surface 11 of the casing 2 is applied peripherally at the same time over the entire inner surface of the seal 7.
  • the casing 1 can be that of a base electrical outlet, but also that of a mobile outlet intended for connect either to a connector base or to an extension plug, hence the general expression used, as already said, taken, while also generalizing the plug which can therefore constitute the base a connector.
