Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adapter plug for a with flat plug pins equipped rechargeable electrical device of personal need, such as Dry shaver, with a connector housing with connector pins for connection a socket and with a housing wall in the suitable for flat connector pins Insertion holes are provided for voltage transmission.
  • the plugs as such differ initially basically in the form of the contact pins, e.g. Round pins or flat pins and their Distance from each other.
  • Device connector with a relatively closely spaced sheet-like arrangement trained connector pins, the so-called flat connector pins are known intended for a voltage range from 90 to 125 volts.
  • An electrical device of the type mentioned is for example from the German Utility model G 83 29 691 (U1) known.
  • the connector of the rechargeable The razor is slidably disposed at one end of the razor housing.
  • the two leaf-shaped connector pins attached to a connector housing are made from one of the two narrow sides of the razor housing for connection to a socket Voltage source pushed out.
  • the socket can be in a wall, for example of a room in a house or part of an adapter be.
  • Rechargeable electrical devices such as Shavers of the aforementioned type known to provide charging circuits for rechargeable memory cells
  • the Voltage range is mostly from 90 to 270 volts.
  • you can Such electrical devices equipped with flat pin pins also charged in countries whose connector system is based on the use of connector pins of a different shape and arrangement is turned off.
  • To charge one with tab pins equipped electrical device there are adapter plugs with a envelope-shaped housing wall and two end walls as well Pins that protrude from one of the end walls, as well as for Flat plug pins suitable insertion holes in the to the round plug pins opposite end wall over the flat pin of an electrical device come into contact with live parts of the further connector pins.
  • Such a known one, for example provided with round connector pins Adapter plug is shown in Fig. 1.
  • Such a connector is made Security reasons only allowed in some countries if the distance of the Connector pins and the insertion holes to the outer wall of the connector housing the same or is greater than the prescribed and therefore to be observed air gap and Creepage distance to the user's hand. This safety distance is in the countries with voltages over 200 V e.g. 8mm.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an adapter plug of the type mentioned create, in which the coupling of a equipped with tab pins rechargeable electrical device taking into account a sufficient Safety route is guaranteed.
  • this object is at the beginning of an adapter plug mentioned type solved in that the security wall with at least one Recess for the admission and coupling of with flat plug pins equipped electrical appliances is provided.
  • a major advantage of the invention is that only one Redesign and other arrangement of an existing security wall An adapter is created that meets the safety regulations. About that furthermore, the adapter plug according to the invention is like the exemplary embodiments according to Figures 3 and 4 show, due to material savings cheaper to manufacture.
  • the security wall is cylindrical formed and with a U-shaped recess for coupling the Provide the adapter plug with the flat plug pins of the electrical device.
  • the security walls are parallel provided to each other on the housing wall.
  • the distance is opposite Safety walls equal to the distance between two opposite walls or the thickness of the electrical device to be accommodated.
  • the distance opposite security walls should be slightly larger than the distance two opposite walls or the thickness of one to be recorded Electrical appliance.
  • FIG. 1 an adapter plug of a known type is shown.
  • the adapter plug consists of a cylinder-shaped connector housing 1, the front of each Housing walls 20 and 30 is closed. Two protrude from the housing wall 20 round connector pins 2 and 3 out while in the opposite housing wall 30 insertion holes 4 and 5 are provided.
  • the insertion holes are for receiving Flat plug pins have a slot-like design, with inside the plug housing 1 a voltage flow from the round connector pins 2 and 3 to those in the insertion holes 4 and 5 Flat connector pins is guaranteed.
  • FIG. 2 another adapter of known type is shown, which in its Structure essentially corresponds to the known adapter plug according to FIG. 1. Of the only structural difference is that it is essentially flat formed housing wall 30 an annular safety wall 6 assigned.
  • Fig. 3 shows an adapter with a connector housing 1, two round Connector pins 2 and 3, and two provided in the housing wall 30, for the Coupling with the tab pins 11 and 12 of an electrical device 10 suitable Insertion holes 4 and 5 and a circumferential security wall 7 of a U-shaped Recess, the legs of which through the flat housing wall 30 and the edges 71 and 72 of the security wall 7 are formed, is interrupted.
  • 3 is still a dry shaver is shown as a rechargeable electrical device 10.
  • the two Blade-shaped tab pins 11 fastened to a connector housing 14 and 12 are by means of an actuating switch 13 arranged in the housing base 15 from one of the two narrow sides of the razor housing for connection to the The adapter plug is pushed out and locked in this position.
  • the thickness B1 of the Narrow side of the electrical device 10 is slightly smaller than the distance A1 through the U-shaped recess in the safety wall 7 formed safety walls 8 and 9, so that in the course of the coupling process of the tab pins 11 and 12 of the Electrical device 10 with the insertion holes 4 and 5 in the connector housing 1 of the Intermediate plug is ensured that the insertion process Users with their fingers neither in contact with the tab pins 11 and 12 can still get near them.
  • the rechargeable electrical device 10 is with the Push tab pins 11 and 12 into the insertion holes until a wall of the electrical device or a wall of the connector housing 14 for contact with the Housing wall 30 arrives.
  • Fig. 4 shows an adapter plug, the structure of which essentially 1 corresponds to the adapter plug. Deviating from the embodiment according to Fig. 1 are two on the adapter plug of FIG. 4 on the housing wall 30 Security walls 8 and 9 are provided, preferably on the connector housing wall are molded. The two opposite security walls 8 and 9 form in Connection to the housing wall 30 is a U-shaped fork, which is basically the Inclusion and coupling of equipped with tab pins 11 and 12 Electrical appliances 10 guaranteed.
  • the embodiment enables an adapter plug of FIG. 4, the inclusion and coupling of a rechargeable Electrical device 10, the tab pins 11 and 12 far above the Housing bottom 15 of the electrical device 10 are provided, such as this additionally shown by dashed lines on the dry shaver according to FIG. 3 is.
  • the actuation switch 13 is located on the rear of the device 10.
