Réduit à sa structure essentielle et avec référence aux figures des dessins annexés, un boítier de protection pour connecteurs électriques conformément à l'invention comprend: un corps avec un élément de base (1) qui présente des sièges pour des moyens de jonction des bouts terminaux des cables (2, 2') à connecter; et d'un élément de fermeture (3), agissants et coopérants entre eux de manière que les connecteurs soient à l'intérieur de la cavité délimitée par les parois dedits éléments de base et de fermeture (1,3). Dans les figures des dessins annexés les précités moyens de liaison sont représentés, seulement à titre d'exemple, comme des boucles (4) métalliques, douées de vis (40) pour le serrage des cables (2,2') destinés à la connexion. L'élément de base (1) est conformé comme une plate-forme (10) sur un côté de laquelle est prévue une parois transversale (11), avec une ouverture (110) pour le passage des cables correspondants (2). L'élément de fermeture (3) est en forme de boíte avec un côté (30) ouvert pour permettre l'insertion de la précité plate-forme (10) dans la cavité respective (300); l'ouverture (30) de l'élément (3) est de forme et de dimensions fondamentalement correspondantes à celles de la parois transversale terminale (11) de la plate-forme (10). Du côtè opposé, l'élément (3) présente une entrée (31) pour les autres cables (2'). Une fois connexés les cables (2,2') au moyen des bouches (4), celles-ci peuvent être placées dans les sièges respectifs sur la plate-forme (10) de l'élément de base (1). A ce point, la plate-forme (10) est inserée à fond dans la cavité de l'élément (3), jusqu'au point de coïncidence de la parois (11) avec la bouche (30) de ce dernier.Reduced to its essential structure and with reference in the figures of the attached drawings, a case of protection for electrical connectors according to the invention comprises: a body with a basic element (1) which has seats for means for joining the terminal ends of the cables (2, 2 ') to be connected; and an element of closure (3), acting and cooperating with each other so that the connectors are inside the cavity delimited by the walls of said elements base and closure (1,3). In the figures of attached drawings the aforementioned means of connection are shown, by way of example only, as metal loops (4), provided with screws (40) for the tightening of cables (2,2 ') intended for connection. The basic element (1) is shaped like a platform (10) on one side of which is provided a transverse walls (11), with an opening (110) for the passage of the corresponding cables (2). The closing element (3) is in the form of a box with one side (30) open to allow insertion of the aforementioned platform (10) in the cavity respective (300); the opening (30) of the element (3) is basically in shape and dimensions corresponding to those of the transverse wall terminal (11) of the platform (10). Side opposite, the element (3) has an inlet (31) for the other cables (2 '). Once connected cables (2,2 ') by means of the mouths (4), these can be placed in the respective seats on the platform (10) of the base element (1). At this point, the platform (10) is fully inserted into the cavity of the element (3), up to the point of coincidence of the walls (11) with the mouth (30) of the last.

Avantageusement, l'élément de base (1) présente, en correspondance de la plate-forme (10) précitée, une structure (15) avec deux sièges (41) pour les connecteurs (4), de forme concave et avec les concavités respectives tournées vers les bords longitudinaux de la plateforme (10), de manière que en position d'utilisation - c'est-à-dire avec la plate-forme (10) introduite dans l'élément (3) - les têtes des vis (40) des connecteurs (4) résultent tournées vers les parois correspondantes de l'éléments (3). Soit l'élément (3) que l'élément de base (1) peuvent être réalisés dans un corps unique avec les accessoirs relatifs avec une matrice pour matériel plastique (par exemple du nylon 66). Ladite configuration des éléments (1) et (3) permet de réduire l'hauteur du boítier, puisque les vis des connecteurs (4) résultent orientées parallèlement au plan de développement de la base (1) qui loge les mêmes (transversalement aux cables). Pour l'accrochage stable de la base (1) au corps de l'élément (3), la plate-forme (10) peut être pourvue d'ardillons (100) destinés à employer des sièges respectifs (34) prévus sur une parois correspondante (32) du corps (3) pour en empêcher le détachement spontané après que la plate-forme (10) a été introduite complètement dans le corps (3). Pour un blocage correct des cables passants à travers l'entrée (31) du corps (3), ce dernier peut être pourvu, comme illustré dans les figures 1, 2 et 17, de deux appendices (33) longitudinalement proéminents vers l'extérieur et réliables entre eux au moyen de vis (330) passants dans des anneaux correspondants (331) de manière à obtenir le serrage d'une douille (5) de contenance des cables respectifs (2'). Le corps de fermeture (3) peut présenter un siège (36) defini par une rainure passante transversale apte à recevoir stabilement une portion terminale (53) de la douille (5). En alternative, pour le blocage des cables on peut avoir des solutions comme illustré dans les Fig. 3, 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, où la structure (15) de la base (1) resulte pourvue des deux éléments de serrage (12) liés à deux extrémités opposées de la structure (15) en correspondance des zones d'acces des cables (2, 2') à la structure (15) même. Les éléments de serrage (12) résultent de façon flexible liés à la structure (15) et peuvent passer d'une première position de repôs dans laquelle sont plus éloignés de la plateforme (10) et rejoignent une hauteur fondamentalement supérieure à la hauteur de l'élément de base (1) à une deuxième position de blocage, dans laquelle ils sont maintenus plus approchés à la plate-forme (10) grace à l'interaction de l'élément de fermeture (3) qui, à boítier fermé, les pousse justement vers la plate-forme. Sur la plate-forme (10), en outre, peuvent être prévues des rainures (13) disposées et opposées aux éléments de serrage (12), de façon à retenir les cables (2, 2') comme représenté dans la Fig. 5. En outre, ce type de blocage des cables dépasse les preuves de traction prévues par les règles en viguer. Les Fig. 7 et 8 illustrent en détail un exemple de réalisation de la plate-forme (10) de l'élément de base (1); dans cette réalisation la plate-forme (10) présente, en correspondance de la zone de liaison à la structure (15), un profil définissant une amorce (14) apte à guider l'extrémité du cable dans l'introduction à l'intérieur de la boucle (4), où est prévue la portion métallique (16) qui permet la connexion électrique. Cette conformation particulière, permet de mantenir l'extrémité du conducteur, formé d'un fil tressé, correctement conformée, c'est-à-dire sans les plissages qui peuvent distinguer les connexions du type connu (sans amorce). Ce-ci aussi parce que l'amorce fait entrer le conducteur de manière à ne pas interférer avec la boucle (4) ou avec la plaquette (16). Les boucles (4) peuvent être aussi du type multiplace, c'est-à-dire permettre la liaison simultanée de plusieurs cables disposés sur deux côtés opposés. La structure (15) peut aussi prendre la forme d'une sorte de "H" multiple, de manière à permettre le positionement de plusieures boucles parallèles sur chaque côté. Encore, les sièges pour les boucles de connexion peuvent être disposées en rayons sur la plate-forme (10). Même dans ce cas, les connecteurs sont positionables d'une manière telle que les vis respectives de serrage des conducteurs resultent parallèles au plan de la plate-forme et avec les têtes orientées vers la portion du bord correspondant de la plate-forme même: soit l'élément de fermeture que l'élément de base avec la plate-forme en pouvant présenter plusieurs ouvertures pour le passage des cables déstinés aux connecteurs. Soit le couvercle que la plate-forme peuvent présenter un trou centrale pour le fixage à une tige de soutien, qui appartien, par exemple, à un appareil d'illumination.Advantageously, the basic element (1) has, in correspondence of the aforementioned platform (10), a structure (15) with two seats (41) for connectors (4), concave in shape and with the respective concavities facing the edges longitudinal of the platform (10), so that in the position of use - i.e. with the platform (10) introduced into element (3) - the heads of the screws (40) of the connectors (4) result facing the corresponding walls of the elements (3). Let element (3) be the element basic (1) can be made in a body unique with relative accessories with a matrix for plastic material (e.g. nylon 66). Said configuration of the elements (1) and (3) reduces the height of the housing, since the connector screws (4) result oriented parallel to the base development plan (1) which houses the same (transversely to cables). For stable attachment of the base (1) to body of the element (3), the platform (10) can be provided with barbs (100) intended to employ respective seats (34) provided on a wall corresponding (32) of the body (3) to prevent it spontaneous detachment after the platform (10) has been completely introduced into the body (3). For correct blocking of cables passing through through the entry (31) of the body (3), the latter can be provided, as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 17, two appendages (33) longitudinally prominent outwards and re-connectable with each other by means of screws (330) passing through rings corresponding (331) so as to obtain the tightening of a cable capacity socket (5) respective (2 '). The closure body (3) can present a seat (36) defined by a groove transverse passable able to receive stable an end portion (53) of the sleeve (5). In alternative, for cable blocking you can have solutions as illustrated in Figs. 3, 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, where the structure (15) of the base (1) result provided with two clamping elements (12) linked to two opposite ends of the structure (15) corresponding to the access zones cables (2, 2 ') to the structure (15) itself. The clamping elements (12) result so flexible linked to the structure (15) and can pass of a first repositioning position in which are further from the platform (10) and join a height fundamentally greater than the height of the base element (1) at a second blocking position, in which they are kept closer to the platform (10) thanks to the interaction of the closing element (3) which, with a closed case, pushes them precisely towards the platform. On the platform (10), moreover, may be provided grooves (13) arranged and opposite the clamping elements (12), so that retain the cables (2, 2 ') as shown in the Fig. 5. In addition, this type of cable blocking exceeds the proof of traction provided by rules in force. Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate in detail an example of realization of the platform (10) of the basic element (1); in this realization the platform (10) present, in correspondence of the connection zone to the structure (15), a profile defining a primer (14) capable of guide the end of the cable in the introduction to inside the loop (4), where the metal portion (16) which allows connection electric. This particular conformation allows to maintain the end of the conductor, formed of a braided yarn, correctly shaped, i.e. without the folds which can distinguish the connections of known type (without primer). This too because the leader brings in the conductor of so as not to interfere with the loop (4) or with the plate (16). The loops (4) can also be of the multiplace type, i.e. allow the simultaneous connection of several cables arranged on two opposite sides. The structure (15) can also take the form of a kind of "H" multiple, so as to allow positioning several parallel loops on each side. Again, the seats for the connection loops can be arranged in shelves on the platform (10). Even in this case, the connectors are positionable in such a way that the screws conductor tightening results parallel to the plane of the platform and with the heads oriented towards the edge portion correspondent of the same platform: either the closure element that the base element with the platform by being able to present several openings for the passage of cables intended for connectors. Let the cover be the platform may have a central hole for fixing to a support rod, which belongs, for example, to an illumination device.
