Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an electrical terminal with finger-proof protection.
- There are many electrical devices provided with connecting terminals generally constituted by a slider which is actuated by a screw and is suitable to press the end of a wire in contrast with a fixed part which is rigidly coupled to the body of the device. The slider generally moves within a seat provided with a transverse hole for the insertion of the end of the wire and with an axial hole for accessing the head of the screw by means of a conventional screwdriver.
- A problem of conventional terminals is that the transverse hole, which must be substantially larger than the cross-section of the wire, remains open even after the terminal has been closed and the wire has been secured inside it.
- Another problem of conventional terminals is due to the fact that it is possible to mistakenly insert the wire outside the moving body, preventing correct engagement of the end.
- Terminals have been proposed which have a diaphragm which is rigidly coupled to the sliding body and is suitable to partially close the opening once the terminal has been tightened.
- A significant drawback of these terminals is that they entail an additional part to be assembled, making it more complicated and expensive to manufacture the electrical device.
- Another drawback is that the diaphragm partially overlaps the edge of the sliding part, preventing the abutment of the sheath of the electric wire against the moving part of the terminal. In other words, it has been found that the partial protection of the edge of the slider by the diaphragm does not allow to insert the wire fully in the seat.
-
EP-A-683498 - The aim of the present invention is to provide an electrical terminal with finger-proof protection, particularly for electrical devices, in which the wire insertion opening remains substantially closed once the wire has been secured.
- An object of the invention is to provide a terminal which is constructively very simple.
- A further object is to provide a terminal which can be assembled easily and in a manner which is substantially similar to that of conventional terminals without significantly increasing production times and costs.
- A further object is to provide a terminal whose use is extremely simple and entirely similar to the use of conventional terminals.
- This aim, these objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by an electrical terminal with finger-proof protection comprising a body which can slide within a seat which is adapted to accommodate the end of an electrical conductor to be connected, said seat having a longitudinal transverse opening for the insertion of said electric conductor, said sliding body having an actuation means for its sliding within said seat and at least one lower wall, provided with a front edge, and adapted to co-operate with a fixed contact member which is rigidly coupled to said seat in order to clamp said electrical conductor; said electrical terminal further comprising a diaphragm member which is rigidly associated with said slider, below said lower wall, and is adapted to at least partially block said opening after said electric conductor has been inserted in said seat and clamped between said fixed contact and said surface of said slider;
characterized in that said lower wall of said slider has a hook which locks an insulating member externally with respect to said lower wall, said insulating member having a front side which forms said diaphragm member and which faces said opening. - Further characteristics and advantages will become apparent from the description of the terminal, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Fig. 1 is a side section view of the terminal according to the invention;
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view, similar to Fig. 1, taken along a different plane which is substantially median with respect to the sliding body;
- Fig. 3 is a front view of the terminal according to the invention; and
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the terminal according to the invention.
- With reference to the above figures, the terminal with finger-proof protection, according to the invention, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, includes an
insulating body 3 which can be an integral part of an electrical device (not shown), such as for example a breaker, which forms aseat 5 for a sliding body orslider 7. - The
seat 5 has at least one opening 9 for the insertion of an electrical conductor, such as for example an end 11, with thesheath 15 removed, of anelectric wire 13. - The
slider 7 is advantageously formed monolithically by bending a metal strip so as to form a parallelepiped with anupper wall 17 which is perforated and threaded in order to receive anactuation screw 19 and with alower wall 21 which is connected to the upper face by twoside walls 23. Thelower wall 21 has a front edge and ahook 25, advantageously obtained from the metal strip, which is suitable to lock aninsulating member 27 which is arranged outside theface 21 and is provided with afront side 29 which faces theopening 9. The insulatingmember 27 advantageously has twowings 31 adapted to cooperate with recesses formed partially on the edges of thelower wall 21 and on theside walls 23 of the slider. - The operation of the terminal according to the invention is evident. The end 11 of the
wire 13 is inserted through theopening 9 into theslider 7 between thelower wall 21 and a fixed contact 33 which is rigidly coupled to thebody 3. By actuating thescrew 19, theslider 7 is moved toward the fixed contact 33 and the end 11 of the wire is clamped between thelower wall 21 of the slider and the fixed contact 33. In the clamping position, shown in Fig. 2, thefront side 29 of theinsulating member 27 constitutes a diaphragm and obstructs the opening 9 so as to prevent the accidental insertion of a finger, for example. - Since the insulating
member 27 is rigidly coupled to theslider 7, assembly of the terminal according to the invention is very easy and assembly of the insulatingmember 27 on the slider is also very simple by virtue of thehook 25, which allows the part to be snap-fitted to the slider with a very simple movement. - Furthermore, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, since the
front side 29 of theinsulating member 27 does not cover the edge of thelower wall 21 of the slider, it is possible, by correctly preparing the end of thewire 13, to place thesheath 15 of the wire in abutment against the outer edge of thelower wall 21 of the slider and against the outer edge of theopening 9, so as to leave no externally accessible portion of the end 11. - In practice it has been found that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects.
- The materials used, as well as the dimensions, may of course be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
- Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly, such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the scope of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.
