- Figure 2 is a bottom perspective view of a stack of two blocks of contacts assembled to a base in an assembly according to FIG. 1.
- Figure 3 is a partial sectional and exploded view of the stack of Figure 2 according to plan III-III.
- Figure 4 is a partial exploded view along arrow F of the stacking of the figure 2.
- Figure 5 shows an exploded perspective view of a detail of the block of contacts.
- Figure 6 shows a detail of Figure 1 on a larger scale.
- the electrical control or signaling device illustrated in the figures is a push button comprising a body 10 provided with a head 11 and a part tubular 12 of axis X1 and of diameter less than the width of the head.
- the wall 13 is oriented according to a plane S perpendicular to X1 and includes an orifice 13b in which engages with clearance the tubular part 12 of the push button, this part housing for example the mobile button push tail.
- a base 20 with a general polygonal outline, preferably rectangular, is associated with the push button on the back of the wall 13, that is to say on the side of the face internal 13c of the wall 13, for removably carrying electrical blocks detachable 30 such as switch contact blocks, indicator blocks or auxiliary blocks.
- the base is placed on the tubular part 12 and is made integral by shaped elements cooperating with each other, for example by interlocking or snap-fastening, to prevent extraction of the base in the direction X1.
- the base 20 offers a central opening 21 (see FIG. 2) for free passage of the tubular part 12 of the push button and on the other hand it is anchored against the internal face 13c of the wall 13 by means of an attachment slide 22 stressed by an operating screw not shown.
- Element 14 of the button pusher, movable in the direction X1 cooperates with a clean actuating finger to the electrical block.
- the contact block 30 includes a prismatic housing 31 made of insulating material having on the side of the base a face 32 for assembly therewith, from which the actuating finger 31a; the housing has on the opposite side a connection face 33 for the access of a tool, via orifices 34a, 34b formed in this face 33, to screws or other connection elements 35 for wiring conductors.
- the conductors can indeed be introduced laterally through holes 36a, 36b formed in small side faces 37a, 37b of the housing; this one finally presents large flat side faces 38.39.
- the base 20 is made of metallic or plastic material; she is scheduled to wear several contact blocks 30, three or more, joined side by side by their large side faces.
- Each contact block 30 has on its face assembly 32 which is elongated and generally rectangular in shape and both ends thereof, that is to say towards its short sides, a rigid spout 40 and a hook 50 movable in the direction Y.
- the base 20 has guide cheeks 28a cooperating with the large lateral faces 38, 39 of the block 30 to facilitate the engagement of the spout in an opening 24 of the base and of the guide walls 28b laterally delimiting the opening and cooperating with the lateral facets of the spout.
- the rigid spout 40 has a free end 40a moving away from the hook 50 and it is oriented in a direction Y which is parallel to the S plane and to the large faces side of the housing; the spout 40 comprises a substantially parallel support zone 41 to S and cooperating with a corresponding retaining shoulder 23 formed with a shape complementary to that of the spout in the opening 24 of the base.
- the movable hook 50 is oriented in the same direction Y and in the same sense to cooperate with a latching housing 25 provided in the base 20. It for this purpose comprises at its free end 50a an oblique edge 51 which cooperates with an inclined face 26 of the housing 25. The inclination of the edge 51 and of the face 26 authorizes a game catch-up; moreover, it is such that the part taken up by the hook 50 of the forces communicated by the push-button of the button to the contact block 30 tends to push it to the right.
- the block 30 has a projection relative to its face assembly 32 at least one lug 32a, for example two such lugs, which are housed in at least one hollow form 27a provided in a coupling face 27 of the base; it goes without saying that we can provide instead of elements 27a, 32a other similar shaped elements arranged to avoid disengagement of the block vis-à-vis of the base under the effect of a sliding in the direction Y.
- the hook 50 further comprises an oblique zone 52 which cooperates with a flange 27b of the coupling face 27. This allows the hook 50 to be released by compression of a helical spring 53 when the hook 50 is applied against the face coupling 27. It can be noted that the spout 40 and the hook 50 protrude of a comparable height h with respect to the assembly face 32.
- the hook 50 is (see FIG. 5) in the form of a metal part U-shaped whose core 54 is flat and whose wings 55, 56 constitute the elements hooks with oblique edges 51 and inclined faces 52. It should be noted that the wings 55, 56 are advantageously aligned or substantially aligned with the large side walls 38, 39 of the block and cooperate with guide walls 29 provided in lateral clearances 29a of the base.
- Core 54 is extended towards the inside of the block by a flat guide tail 54a which is slid into a slot 60 provided towards the assembly face 32 of the housing 31 and which maintains laterally the return spring 53.
- the housing preferably consists of a body housing 31a and a cover 31b; the slot 60 is formed in the body of case 31a it is open laterally (perpendicular to the Y direction) at 61 and can be closed by assembling the cover 31b of the housing on the body 31a.
- the small side face 37b of the housing located on the side of the hook 50 comprises a oblique pan 62 located between two wall elements 63 so as to provide a passage inclined to a hook operating tool 50; the tip of the tool is guided by the wall elements 63 and cooperates with an opening 57 of the core 54 of the hook.
- the housing of the contact block 30 has coupling means with an underlying block.
- These means include share a flat shoulder 70 similar to the shoulder 23 of the opening 24 of the base and on the other hand a hooking housing 71 with an inclined face 72 similar to the face inclined 26 of the housing 25 of the base.
- the shoulder retainer 70 and the inclined face 72 are formed respectively in the orifice 34a access to a connection screw 35 and in clearances 38a, 39a provided in the large side faces 38, 39 of the housing 31.
- At least one orifice 73 is provided for accommodate the pins 32a of the underlying block. This is how we stack the contact blocks by very simple means, which nevertheless provide rigidity sufficient assembly while being located in the width gauge of the blocks.
- the rigid spout 40 has its free end 40a located at opposite the hook 50; it can also have its free end arranged towards the hook 50.
- the solution described however has the advantage of being less bulky and of allow a more intuitive installation of the contact block in the base.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande ou de signalisation tel qu'un ensemble de bouton-poussoir, selon le préambule de la revendication 1, comme il est connu par example du document CH-A-554 130.The present invention relates to a control or signaling device such as a push button assembly, according to the preamble of claim 1, as is known for example from document CH-A-554 130.
De tels dispositifs comportent d'une part un corps à engager dans un orifice d'une paroi de support, par exemple d'un panneau ou d'un pupitre, et d'autre part une embase qui porte de manière amovible au moins un bloc électrique, notamment un bloc de contacts, à l'aide de moyens d'assemblage associés à des faces d'assemblage réciproque et fréquemment constitués par des éléments d'encliquetage.Such devices comprise on the one hand a body to be engaged in an orifice a support wall, for example a panel or a lectern, and on the other hand a base which removably carries at least one electrical block, in particular a contact block, using assembly means associated with faces of reciprocal assembly and frequently constituted by elements latching.
Les dispositifs connus de ce type n'offrent pas toujours la rigidité d'assemblage souhaitée et il est souhaitable de les perfectionner pour permettre à un monteur d'engager et de fixer sans difficulté le bloc de contacts sous l'embase ; de même, il est souhaitable de lui permettre éventuellement d'empiler facilement, mais là encore avec une bonne rigidité, un autre bloc de contacts sous le précédent.Known devices of this type do not always offer assembly rigidity desired and it is desirable to perfect them to allow an assembler easily engage and fix the contact block under the base; similarly he is desirable to eventually allow it to stack easily, but again with good rigidity, another block of contacts under the previous one.
L'invention a pour but de procurer au monteur une grande facilité d'assemblage d'un bloc de contacts sous une embase d'un dispositif de commande ou de signalisation électrique, de pair avec une bonne rigidité de l'assemblage ainsi obtenu.The object of the invention is to provide the assembler with great ease of assembly. of a contact block under a base of a control or electrical signaling, combined with good rigidity of the assembly thus obtained.
Selon l'invention :
- le bloc électrique et l'embase comportent, à une extrémité de leurs faces d'assemblage réciproque, un bec rigide et un redan de forme complémentaire coopérant entre eux pour assurer le positionnement et le maintien du bloc,
- le bloc comporte, à l'autre extrémité de sa face d'assemblage à l'embase, un crochet sollicité par des moyens élastiques parallèlement à la face d'assemblage pour coopérer avec un logement d'accrochage ménagé dans l'embase.
- the electrical block and the base comprise, at one end of their reciprocal assembly faces, a rigid spout and a step of complementary shape cooperating with each other to ensure the positioning and the maintenance of the block,
- the block comprises, at the other end of its face for assembly to the base, a hook urged by elastic means parallel to the assembly face to cooperate with a latching housing formed in the base.
Le crochet peut avantageusement être constitué par une pièce métallique en U dont les ailes sont sensiblement alignées avec les grandes parois latérales du bloc électrique. D'autre part, il peut être avantageux d'orienter dans le même sens le bec rigide et le crochet, ce qui diminue l'encombrement du bloc et en permet une pose plus intuitive, tandis que des éléments de forme coopérants peuvent avantageusement être prévus sur les faces d'assemblage de manière à éviter tout glissement du bloc par rapport à l'embase, consécutivement à un effort exercé sur le bloc électrique perpendiculairement à la paroi de support du dispositif.The hook can advantageously consist of a metal U-shaped piece whose wings are substantially aligned with the large side walls of the block electric. On the other hand, it may be advantageous to orient the spout in the same direction rigid and the hook, which reduces the bulk of the block and allows it to be installed more intuitive, while cooperating form elements can advantageously be provided on the assembly faces so as to avoid any sliding of the block relative to the base, following a force exerted on the electrical block perpendicular to the support wall of the device.
La description qui va être faite à présent d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention, en regard des dessins annexés, explicite les avantages et résultats de celle-ci.The description which will now be made of an embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended drawings, explains the advantages and results thereof.

La figure 6 montre à plus grande échelle un détail de la figure 1.Figure 6 shows a detail of Figure 1 on a larger scale.
Le dispositif de commande ou de signalisation électrique illustré sur les figures
est un bouton-poussoir comportant un corps 10 muni d'une tête 11 et d'une partie
tubulaire 12 d'axe X1 et de diamètre inférieur à la largeur de la tête. Celle-ci est posée
avec éventuellement un joint et/ou une étiquette non représentés sur une face
externe 13a d'une paroi mince de support 13, par exemple métallique, qui appartient
à une enveloppe telle qu'un pupitre, une armoire,.. . La paroi 13 est orientée selon un
plan S perpendiculaire à X1 et comprend un orifice 13b dans lequel s'engage avec
jeu la partie tubulaire 12 du bouton-poussoir, cette partie logeant par exemple la
queue mobile de poussée du bouton. The electrical control or signaling device illustrated in the figures
is a push button comprising a
Une embase 20 à contour général polygonal, de préférence rectangulaire, est
associée au bouton-poussoir au revers de la paroi 13, c'est-à-dire du côté de la face
interne 13c de la paroi 13, pour porter de manière amovible des blocs électriques
détachables 30 tels que des blocs de contacts interrupteurs, des blocs de voyant ou
des blocs auxiliaires. L'embase est mise en place sur la partie tubulaire 12 et en est
rendue solidaire par des éléments de forme coopérant entre eux, par exemple par
emboítement ou encliquetage, pour empêcher l'extraction de l'embase dans la
direction X1. L'embase 20 offre une ouverture centrale 21 (voir figure 2) pour le libre
passage de la partie tubulaire 12 du bouton-poussoir et elle est d'autre part ancrée
contre la face interne 13c de la paroi 13 au moyen d'un coulisseau d'accrochage 22
sollicité par une vis de manoeuvre non représentée. Un élément 14 du bouton
poussoir, mobile selon la direction X1, coopère avec un doigt d'actionnement propre
au bloc électrique.A
Le bloc de contacts 30 comporte un boítier prismatique 31 en matière isolante
présentant du côté de l'embase une face 32 d'assemblage à celle-ci, d'où émerge le
doigt d'actionnement 31a ; le boítier présente du côté opposé une face de connexion
33 pour l'accès d'un outil, via des orifices 34a,34b ménagés dans cette face 33, à des
vis ou autres éléments de connexion 35 pour des conducteurs de câblage. Les
conducteurs peuvent en effet être introduits latéralement par des orifices 36a,36b
ménagés dans de petites faces latérales 37a,37b du boítier ; celui-ci présente enfin
de grandes faces latérales planes 38,39.The
L'embase 20 est en matière métallique ou plastique ; elle est prévue pour porter
plusieurs blocs de contacts 30, au nombre de trois ou plus, accolés côte à côte par
leurs grandes faces latérales. Chaque bloc de contacts 30 présente sur sa face
d'assemblage 32 qui est allongée et de forme générale rectangulaire et aux deux
extrémités de celle-ci, c'est-à-dire vers ses petits côtés, un bec rigide 40 et un crochet
50 mobile selon la direction Y. L'embase 20 présente des joues de guidage 28a
coopérant avec les grandes faces latérales 38,39 du bloc 30 pour faciliter
l'engagement du bec dans une ouverture 24 de l'embase et des parois de guidage
28b délimitant latéralement l'ouverture et coopérant avec les facettes latérales du bec. The
Le bec rigide 40 possède une extrémité libre 40a s'éloignant du crochet 50 et il
est orienté selon une direction Y qui est parallèle au plan S et aux grandes faces
latérales du boítier ; le bec 40 comprend une zone d'appui 41 sensiblement parallèle
à S et coopérant avec un épaulement correspondant de retenue 23 ménagé avec une
forme complémentaire de celle du bec dans l'ouverture 24 de l'embase.The
Le crochet mobile 50 est orienté selon la même direction Y et dans le même
sens pour coopérer avec un logement d'accrochage 25 prévu dans l'embase 20. Il
comprend à cet effet à son extrémité libre 50a un bord oblique 51 qui coopère avec
une face inclinée 26 du logement 25. L'inclinaison du bord 51 et de la face 26
autorise un rattrapage de jeu ; en outre, elle est telle que la partie reprise par le
crochet 50 des efforts communiqués par le poussoir du bouton au bloc de contacts 30
tend à repousser celui-ci vers la droite. Donc pour empêcher une éventuelle extraction
du bloc de contacts hors de l'embase par glissement quand on exerce une pression
sur le bouton-poussoir, le bloc 30 présente en saillie par rapport à sa face
d'assemblage 32 au moins un ergot 32a, par exemple deux tels ergots, qui se logent
dans au moins une forme en creux 27a prévue dans une face d'accouplement 27 de
l'embase ; il va de soi que l'on peut prévoir à la place des éléments 27a, 32a d'autres
éléments de forme analogues agencés pour éviter le désengagement du bloc vis-à-vis
de l'embase sous l'effet d'un glissement selon la direction Y. Le crochet 50
comprend d'autre part une zone oblique 52 qui coopère avec un rebord 27b de la
face d'accouplement 27. Ceci permet le dégagement du crochet 50 par compression
d'un ressort hélicoïdal 53 quand le crochet 50 s'applique contre la face
d'accouplement 27. On peut remarquer que le bec 40 et le crochet 50 font saillie
d'une hauteur comparable h par rapport à la face d'assemblage 32.The
Le crochet 50 se présente (voir figure 5) sous la forme d'une pièce métallique
en U dont l'âme 54 est plate et dont les ailes 55,56 constituent les éléments
d'accrochage dotés des bords obliques 51 et faces inclinées 52. Il convient de noter
que les ailes 55,56 sont avantageusement alignées ou sensiblement alignées avec
les grandes parois latérales 38,39 du bloc et coopèrent avec des parois de guidage
29 prévues dans des dégagements latéraux 29a de l'embase. L'âme 54 est prolongée
vers l'intérieur du bloc par une queue plate de guidage 54a qui est glissée dans une
fente 60 prévue vers la face d'assemblage 32 du boítier 31 et qui maintient
latéralement le ressort de rappel 53. Le boítier se compose de préférence d'un corps
de boítier 31a et d'un couvercle 31b ; la fente 60 est ménagée dans le corps de
boítier 31a
elle est ouverte latéralement (perpendiculairement à la direction Y) en 61 et elle peut
être fermée par l'assemblage du couvercle 31b du boítier sur le corps 31a.The
La petite face latérale 37b du boítier située du côté du crochet 50 comprend un
pan oblique 62 situé entre deux éléments de paroi 63 de manière à offrir un passage
incliné à un outil de manoeuvre du crochet 50 ; la pointe de l'outil est guidée par les
éléments de paroi 63 et coopère avec une ouverture 57 de l'âme 54 du crochet.The
Du côté de sa face de connexion 33, le boítier du bloc de contacts 30 présente
des moyens de couplage avec un bloc sous-jacent. Ces moyens comprennent d'une
part un épaulement plan 70 similaire à l'épaulement 23 de l'ouverture 24 de l'embase
et d'autre part un logement d'accrochage 71 à face inclinée 72 similaire à la face
inclinée 26 du logement 25 de l'embase. Il convient de remarquer que l'épaulement
de retenue 70 et la face inclinée 72 sont ménagés respectivement dans l'orifice 34a
d'accès à une vis de connexion 35 et dans des dégagements 38a,39a prévus dans
les grandes faces latérales 38,39 du boítier 31. Au moins un orifice 73 est prévu pour
loger les ergots 32a du bloc sous-jacent. On réalise de cette façon un empilage des
blocs de contacts par des moyens très simples, qui néanmoins assurent une rigidité
suffisante d'assemblage tout en étant situés dans le gabarit en largeur des blocs.On the side of its
Il convient de remarquer que le bec rigide 40 a son extrémité libre 40a située à
l'opposé du crochet 50 ; il peut aussi avoir son extrémité libre disposée vers le crochet
50. La solution décrite a cependant l'avantage d'être moins encombrante et de
permettre une pose plus intuitive du bloc de contacts dans l'embase.It should be noted that the
