Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to electrical devices that their users must equip themselves with an electric cable for their implementation.
  • mobile electrical devices such as, for example, multi-socket bases.
  • Such a cable clamp usually includes a simple bar clean to a tightening of the electric cable.
  • the cable clamp or at least one of its constituents, and it is most often a plate or a soleplate abutting the electrical cable when it is clamped by the bar, must be incorporated, or permanently attached to the one of the constituent parts of the electrical apparatus concerned, or, more precisely, to one of the constituent parts of the housing thereof;
  • the cable clamp must be adaptable to the different types of electrical cables that may be used and its effectiveness must not depend on the assembly of the constituent parts of the housing of the electrical appliance;
  • the cable clamp must be made of insulating material or have an insulating protection for those of its constituents which are made of metal; and these, including any clamping screws must be isolated from the corresponding earthing circuit.
  • the electrical device is delivered with the bar of its cable clamp mounted in a well determined of its positions, and if the user wishes that the exit of the electric cable is done in an orientation which does not correspond to this position, it is not necessarily obvious, for him, he must remove this bar and back in the position corresponding to the orientation he has chosen for the electric cable.
  • the present invention generally relates to an arrangement allowing on the contrary to have several possible orientations for the electric cable while respecting all the requirements to be met in terms of cable clamp.
  • a cable clamp which is intended to equip the housing with any electrical device, and which is of the kind comprising a bar adapted to a clamping of the electrical cable to be connected to this electrical device, this cable clamp being generally characterized in that, to impose, on demand, the electric cable concerned, one or the other of at least two different orientations, it comprises, d in one piece, at least two bars, the lengthwise directions of which are themselves different, namely, a strip called here by simple convenience central bar and at least one bar here called simply convenience bar side, with, for its fastening to the housing of the electrical apparatus, at least one chimney; it also relates to any electrical device whose housing is equipped with such a cable clamp for holding the electrical cable to be connected.
  • the cable clamp according to the invention comprising, by itself, but advantageously in the form of a single piece, a bar for each of the possible orientations for the electric cable, it is mandatory to deposit it for the setting in place of this electrical cable, and there is only one way to put it back in place, which, for the sake of safety, makes it possible to ensure with certainty that, regardless of the orientation chosen for the electric cable, it will be effectively implemented.
  • the number of these fixing points can advantageously be reduced to two, to the benefit of both the price of the set and the security.
  • the curvature to be imposed on it advantageously concerns only its conductors, and not its sheath.
  • the corresponding radius of curvature can thus advantageously be reduced, to the benefit of a reduction in overall size of the assembly.
  • the single piece forming the invention all the bars come in contact with the wall of the housing to which it is attached when the electric cable to be clamped is a minimum diameter electrical cable.
  • the cable clamp comprises a central bar and two side bars
  • the side bars diverge relative to each other from the central bar, so that in the event of the presence of a terminal block for the electric cable, this terminal block can more easily find its place between its side branches if desired.
  • the arrangement according to the invention advantageously allows the realization of a cable clamp particularly interesting from the economic point of view as well as from the point of view of safety, minimizing the size and simplicity of use.
