Description
La présente invention concerne d'une manière générale les barrettes de connexion électriques formées d'un alignement d'éléments unitaires séparables à la demande.The present invention generally relates to the electrical connection strips formed of an alignment of separable unit elements on demand.
Ces barrettes de connexion électriques sont par exemple mises en oeuvre pour assurer, par chacun de leurs éléments unitaires, une jonction entre deux câbles électriques et/ou une dérivation entre l'un de ces câbles électriques et un autre.These electrical connection strips are for example implemented to ensure, by each of their unit elements, a junction between two electrical cables and / or a shunt between one of these electrical cables and another.
Elles comportent, plus précisément, un corps en matière isolante formant, côte à côte, d'un seul tenant, au moins deux éléments unitaires, et en pratique une pluralité de tels éléments, qui, successivement reliés les uns aux autres de manière sécable, servent chacun de logement à un plot de connexion propre à la jonction et/ou à la dérivation désirées.They comprise, more specifically, a body of insulating material forming, side by side, in one piece, at least two unitary elements, and in practice a plurality of such elements, which, successively connected to each other in a breakable manner, each serve as housing to a connection pad specific to the desired junction and / or derivation.
Dans la pratique (voir par exemple
Il en résulte que la liaison entre deux éléments unitaires successifs se fait usuellement par deux languettes de jonction, qui, plus ou moins écartées l'une de l'autre, définissent entre elles le perçage correspondant, et qui sont à trancher lorsque ces éléments unitaires sont à séparer.As a result, the connection between two successive unitary elements is usually made by two junction tongues, which, more or less spaced apart from one another, define between them the corresponding bore, and which are to be sliced when these unitary elements are to separate.
L'une des difficultés, dans la réalisation des barrettes de connexion électriques de ce type, tient à ce que, pour satisfaire à certaines exigences de tenue mécanique et de tenue au feu, la matière isolante constitutive de leur corps doit inévitablement être relativement rigide, et que, par conséquent, elles présentent toujours à ce jour une certaine raideur, alors même que, pour faciliter leur implantation dans certaines installations, et par exemple dans des boites de dérivation où la place disponible est mesurée, il serait au contraire souhaitable qu'elles présentent une certaine souplesse.One of the difficulties in producing electrical connection strips of this type is that, to meet certain requirements of mechanical strength and fire resistance, the insulating material constitutive of their body must inevitably be relatively rigid, and that, therefore, they still have a certain stiffness so far, even though, to facilitate their installation in certain installations, and for example in junction boxes where the available space is measured, it would, on the contrary, be desirable that they have a certain flexibility.
En pratique, la raideur des barrettes de connexion électriques connues à ce jour est d'autant plus importante que, lors d'une déformation de leur corps en matière isolante, et, plus précisément, lors d'un cintrage de celui-ci, les languettes de jonction intervenant entre ses éléments unitaires successifs travaillent essentiellement en traction-compression et s'opposent donc inévitablement à une telle déformation.In practice, the stiffness of the electrical connection strips known to date is all the more important that, during a deformation of their body of insulating material, and more specifically, during a bending thereof, the junction tongues intervening between its successive unitary elements work essentially in tension-compression and therefore inevitably oppose such deformation.
Cela est le cas, notamment, lorsque, globalement cintrées, avec leurs concavités tournées l'une vers l'autre, ces deux languettes de jonction s'étendent circulairement autour du perçage qu'elles délimitent.This is the case, in particular, when, globally curved, with their concavities turned towards each other, these two connecting tongues extend circularly around the piercing they delimit.
La présente invention a d'une manière générale pour objet une disposition permettant de surmonter cette difficulté et conduisant en outre à d'autres avantages.The present invention generally relates to a provision for overcoming this difficulty and further leading to other advantages.
De manière plus précise, elle a pour objet une barrette de connexion électrique du genre comportant un corps en matière isolante formant côte à côte au moins deux éléments unitaires, qui, reliés l'un à l'autre par deux languettes de jonction globalement cintrées à concavités tournées l'une vers l'autre, servent chacun de logement à un plot de connexion, cette barrette de connexion électrique étant d'une manière générale caractérisée en ce que l'une au moins des languettes de jonction a globalement une configuration en U, avec deux jambages latéraux et une traverse médiane.More specifically, it relates to an electrical connection strip of the kind comprising a body of insulating material forming side by side at least two unit elements, which connected to one another by two junction tabs generally bent to concavities turned towards each other, each serve as housing for a connection pad, this electrical connection strip generally being characterized in that at least one of the terminal strips has a generally U-shaped configuration. , with two lateral jambs and a median crossbar.
Grâce à une telle configuration en U, ces languettes de jonction travaillent essentiellement en flexion lors d'une déformation du corps en matière isolante.With such a U-shaped configuration, these junction tongues essentially work in bending during a deformation of the body of insulating material.
A section donnée identique, il en résulte, avantageusement, pour l'ensemble, une souplesse accrue, même lorsque la matière isolante mise en oeuvre est une matière rigide.A given identical section, it results advantageously for all, increased flexibility, even when the insulating material used is a rigid material.
La disposition suivant l'invention permet donc de concilier, de manière simple, et sans que l'encombrement longitudinal et/ou transversal de l'ensemble en soit en quoi que ce soit pénalisé, les avantages inhérents à la mise en oeuvre d'une matière rigide avec ceux dus à l'obtention d'une souplesse malgré tout importante pour un tel ensemble.The arrangement according to the invention therefore makes it possible to reconcile, in a simple manner, and without the longitudinal and / or transversal bulk of the assembly being in any way penalized, the advantages inherent in the implementation of a rigid material with those due to obtaining flexibility despite all important for such a set.
En particulier, la barrette de connexion électrique suivant l'invention peut aisément être cintrée de manière plus ou moins accentuée lors de son installation, ce qui peut faciliter cette installation lorsque celle-ci intervient dans un espace plus ou moins réduit.In particular, the electrical connection strip according to the invention can easily be bent in a more or less accentuated manner during its installation, which can facilitate this installation when it occurs in a more or less reduced space.
En outre, par un effet d'accordéon dû à la configuration en U des languettes de jonction qu'elle comporte, la barrette de connexion électrique suivant l'invention est également capable d'un certain étirement longitudinal, ce qui peut aussi en faciliter l'installation, en permettant par exemple que, si désiré, sa fixation à un quelconque support se fasse par encliquetage.In addition, by an accordion effect due to the U-shaped configuration of the connecting tabs that it comprises, the electrical connection strip according to the invention is also capable of a certain longitudinal stretch, which can also facilitate installation, allowing for example that, if desired, its attachment to any support is done by snapping.

Sur ces figures on reconnaît une barrette de connexion électrique 10 du genre comportant un corps en matière isolante 11 formant côte à côte au moins deux éléments unitaires 12 séparables l'un de l'autre.In these figures we recognize an electrical connection strip 10 of the type comprising a body of insulating material 11 forming side by side at least two unitary elements 12 separable from one another.
En pratique, et tel que représenté, une pluralité d'éléments unitaires 12 sont prévus, les uns à la suite des autres, en étant dûment alignés les uns avec les autres.In practice, and as shown, a plurality of unit elements 12 are provided, one after the other, being duly aligned with each other.
Par exemple, le nombre de ces éléments unitaires 12 peut être égal à dix ou douze.For example, the number of these unit elements 12 may be equal to ten or twelve.
Les éléments unitaires 12, qui sont tous identiques entre eux, ont, en plan, un contour globalement rectangulaire.The unit elements 12, which are all identical to each other, have, in plan, a generally rectangular outline.
Ils servent chacun de logement à un plot de connexion 13, qui, de forme globalement tubulaire, est accessible de l'extérieur à l'une et l'autre de ses extrémités, et qui est recoupé, transversalement, par deux perçages taraudés, non visibles sur les figures, à la faveur desquels interviennent chacune respectivement deux vis de serrage 14.They each serve as a housing for a connection pad 13, which, generally tubular in shape, is accessible from the outside to one and the other of its ends, and which is cross-cut, transversely, by two threaded holes, no visible in the figures, in favor of which intervene each respectively two clamping screws 14.
Les dispositions qui précèdent étant bien connues par elles-mêmes, et ne relevant pas en propre de la présente invention, elles ne seront pas décrites plus en détail ici.The foregoing provisions are well known in themselves, and not falling within the scope of the present invention, they will not be described in more detail here.
De manière également connue en soi, les éléments unitaires 12 du corps en matière isolante 11 sont reliés l'un à l'autre par deux languettes de jonction 15, qui sont globalement cintrées, avec leurs concavités tournées l'une vers l'autre, et qui définissent entre elles un perçage 16, pour le passage d'un quelconque moyen de fixation.In a manner also known per se, the unitary elements 12 of the body of insulating material 11 are connected to one another by two junction tongues 15, which are generally curved, with their concavities facing each other, and which define between them a bore 16, for the passage of any means of attachment.
Ces languettes de jonction 15 sont d'un seul tenant avec le corps en matière isolante 11, en étant venues d'un seule pièce de moulage avec celui-ci.These joining tabs 15 are integral with the insulating material body 11, having come from a single molding part therewith.
Elles sont sécables, dans la mesure où elles peuvent être plus ou moins facilement tranchées, à l'aide par exemple d'un quelconque outil de coupe non représenté.They are breakable, insofar as they can be more or less easily sliced, for example using any unrepresented cutting tool.
Suivant l'invention, l'une au moins des languettes de jonction 15 intervenant ainsi entre deux éléments unitaires 12 successifs, et, préférentiellement, tel que représenté, chacune de ces languettes de jonction 15 a globalement une configuration en U, avec deux jambages latéraux 17 et une traverse médiane 18.According to the invention, at least one of the junction tongues 15 thus intervening between two successive unit elements 12, and, preferably, as shown, each of these junction tongues 15 has a generally U-shaped configuration, with two lateral jambs. 17 and a median cross 18.
Du fait de cette configuration en U, la longueur développée de chacune des languettes de jonction 15 de l'un à l'autre des éléments unitaires 12 qu'elles relient est supérieure à celle d'un simple arc de cercle.Because of this U-shaped configuration, the developed length of each of the junction tongues 15 of the one to the other of the unit elements 12 they connect is greater than that of a simple arc.
Dans les formes de réalisation représentées, la traverse médiane 18 des languettes de jonction 15 est globalement arrondie.In the embodiments shown, the median cross member 18 of the joining tabs 15 is generally rounded.
Par exemple, et tel que représenté, elle s'étend sensiblement suivant un demi-cercle.For example, and as shown, it extends substantially in a semicircle.
Corollairement, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les jambages latéraux 17 des languettes de jonction 15 sont sensiblement parallèles l'un à l'autre sur une partie au moins de leur longueur à compter de cette traverse médiane 18.As a corollary, in the embodiment shown, the side jambs 17 of the connecting tongues 15 are substantially parallel to each other over at least part of their length from this median crosspiece 18.
Par exemple, et tel que représenté, il en est ainsi sur au moins la quasi totalité de leur longueur.For example, and as shown, it is so on at least almost all of their length.
Mais, dans les formes de réalisation représentées, les jambages latéraux 17 des languettes de jonction 15 se raccordent chacun respectivement sensiblement en biais aux éléments unitaires 12 dont ils sont issus, en allant en s'évasant l'un par rapport à l'autre en direction de ceux-ci.However, in the embodiments shown, the side jambs 17 of the connecting tongues 15 are each connected respectively substantially obliquely to the unit elements 12 from which they spring, flaring with respect to each other. direction of these.
Tel que schématisé sur les
Dans la forme de réalisation plus particulièrement représentée sur les
Autrement dit, les languettes de jonction 15 sont dans ce cas équi-épaisses sur la totalité de leur longueur développée.In other words, the junction tongues 15 are in this case equi-thick over the entire length developed.
En variante,
Autrement dit, ces jambages latéraux 17 sont amincis à leur racine 19, c'est-à-dire à leur raccordement aux ensembles unitaires 12.In other words, these side jambs 17 are thinned at their root 19, that is to say their connection to the unitary units 12.
Quoi qu'il en soit, il résulte de la configuration en U des languettes de jonction 15 que le perçage 16 délimité par ces languettes de jonction 15 a globalement un contour en fuseau, avec une partie centrale 20 sensiblement circulaire et, en positions diamétralement opposées l'un par rapport à l'autre, suivant le plan médian de l'ensemble, qui est en pratique un plan de symétrie, deux appendices 21.In any event, it results from the U-shaped configuration of the junction tongues 15 that the bore 16 delimited by these junction tongues 15 generally has a spindle contour, with a substantially circular central portion 20 and, in diametrically opposite positions. one in relation to the other, according to the median plane of the set, which is in practice a plane of symmetry, two appendices 21.
Préférentiellement, et cela est le cas dans la forme de réalisation représentée, pour chacune des languettes de jonction 15 qui les relient, chacun des éléments unitaires 12 du corps en matière isolante 11 comporte, le long des jambages latéraux 17 de celles-ci, un dégagement 22 qui, au moins pour partie, s'étend en biais, et qui, si désiré, peut servir au guidage de l'outil de coupe mis en oeuvre pour le tranchage de ces languettes jonction 15 lorsque les éléments unitaires 12 concernés doivent être séparés l'un de l'autre.Preferably, and this is the case in the embodiment shown, for each of the connecting tongues 15 which connect them, each of the unitary elements 12 of the body of insulating material 11 comprises, along the lateral jambs 17 thereof, a clearance 22 which, at least partly, extends obliquely, and which, if desired, can be used for guiding the cutting tool used for the slicing of these tongues junction 15 when the unit elements 12 concerned must be separated from each other.
En service, et ainsi qu'il est aisé de le comprendre, les languettes de jonction 15 suivant l'invention travaillent essentiellement en flexion lorsque le corps en matière isolante 11 est l'objet d'une déformation de cintrage, par rotation autour de la racine 19 de leurs jambages latéraux 17 et/ou par rotation autour de la zone centrale de leur traverse médiane 18.In use, and as it is easy to understand, the junction tongues 15 according to the invention work essentially in bending when the body of insulating material 11 is the object of a bending deformation, by rotation around the root 19 of their side jambs 17 and / or by rotation around the central zone of their median crosspiece 18.
Dans la variante de réalisation représentée sur les
Par exemple, et tel que représenté, cette rainure en V 24 s'étend en continu sur la totalité de la partie inférieure des languettes de jonction 15.For example, and as shown, this V-shaped groove 24 extends continuously over the entire lower part of the joining tongues 15.
Préférentiellement, et cela est le cas dans la forme de réalisation représentée, son arête 25 s'étend suivant le plan de symétrie de l'ensemble.Preferably, and this is the case in the embodiment shown, its edge 25 extends along the plane of symmetry of the assembly.
Pour le reste, les dispositions sont du même type que celles décrites en référence aux
Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas aux formes de réalisation décrites et représentées, mais englobe toute variante d'exécution et/ou de combinaison de leurs divers éléments.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but encompasses any alternative embodiment and / or combination of their various elements.
