Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to dispatchers of the kind comprising two flanges, of insulating material, which, disposed to distance from one another, extend substantially parallel to each other, and at least one connecting strip, which extends longitudinally from one to the other of these two flanges, substantially perpendicular thereto, in being respectively in transverse engagement with each of these flanges to each of its ends.
  • modular dispatchers that is to say, splitters which, together with other electrical appliances, are intended to be arranged side by side on the same support rail, and the length of which is a multiple of a basic module common to all these electrical devices.
  • connection strip or strips that equip them each comprise, in the form of a bar, a connection strip, made of metal, which forms, longitudinally, from place to place, several connection terminals, and to which it can possibly be associated, for example in the form of a terminal block, a protective body of insulating material, which surrounds it, transversely, on at least a part of its periphery.
  • connection strip makes it possible to connect to a single potential various electrical conductors.
  • splitters of this type are bipolar splitters, and they then comprise, parallel to each other, two bars of connection, namely, for example, one phase, and the other neutral, or three-pole or four-pole distributors, and they then comprise, in parallel to each other, three or four connection bars, namely, by example, two or three of phase, and one of neutral, or, in a more generally, multipolar distributors.
  • the present invention generally relates to a provision to avoid in a simple way these disadvantages.
  • a dispatcher having two flanges, of insulating material, which, arranged at a distance from one of the other, extend substantially parallel to each other, and at least one connection strip, which extends longitudinally from one to the other of these two flanges, being respectively in transverse engagement with each of these flanges at each of its ends,
  • this splitter being of a generally characterized in that, at each of its flanges, is associated a cheek, which, in cooperation with the cheek associated with the other flange, is able to allow, on request, the implementation of a connection strip additional.
  • each of the flask is equipped in advance with the cheek associated with it, and this is movable climb between two positions, one of waiting, for which it extends for example substantially perpendicular to such a flange, the other of service, for which, on the contrary, it extends substantially extension of it.
  • connection ability of the distributor according to the invention can, if necessary, be advantageously increased, at the option of the installer, without any intervention on the same layout of this distributor or its congestion in length, which limits the necessary operations, and without any hindrance to the wiring surrounding.
  • the distributor 10 comprises, on the whole, on the one hand, two flanges 11, insulating material, which, arranged at a distance from one another, extend substantially parallel to each other, and, on the other hand, at least one connecting strip 12, which extends longitudinally from one to the other of these two flanges 11, substantially perpendicular to them, being respectively in transverse engagement with each of these flanges 11 to each of its ends.
  • this distributor 10 is of the type described in the French Patent Application No. 95 14769 mentioned above.
  • the flanges 11, which are identical to each other, following mirror symmetry, have, in elevation, a generally rectangular overall contour, with two lateral edges 13, 14, one front, the other rear, an upper edge 15 and a lower edge 16.
  • connection bars 12 are planned, at a distance from each other.
  • connection bars formed of a bar, in metal, which forms, by itself, staggered along its length, several terminals of connection, and to which it is associated, throughout its length, a body of protection in isolating material limited in this case to a simple partition in square.
  • connection strips 12 could equally well each be constituted by a terminal block in which the protective body insulation material associated with their bar wraps the latter on all its faces.
  • each of the flanges 11 presents, from place to place, protruding on its inner surface, and in correspondence one with the other, for setting up the terminal strips 12, end pieces 18, each of which forms a housing 19 suitable for receiving a such a terminal strip 12, and in favor of each of which intervene fastening means, and, for example, own latching means to the retention of this connection strip 12.
  • each of the flanges 11 is associated a cheek 20, which, in cooperation with the cheek 20 associated with the other flange 11, is suitable for allow, on request, the implementation of a connection strip 12 ' as shown schematically in broken lines in FIG. 2, and such partially represented in dashed lines in FIG.
  • each of the flanges 11 is equipped in advance with the cheek 20 which is associated with him.
  • this cheek 20 is integral with the flange 11 to which it is associated.
  • the cheek 20 associated with a flange 11 is, like this one, in insulating material, and it is in one piece with this flange 11, forming only one and the same room with this one.
  • the cheek 20 associated with a flange 11 is mounted movably between two positions, one waiting, which is that shown in Figures 1 to 5, the other service, which is the one shown in Figure 6.
  • the cheek 20 extends substantially perpendicular to the flange 11 to which it is associated, and, in the service position, it extends substantially in its extension.
  • the cheek 20 associated with a flange 11 is articulated thereto.
  • the cheek 20 associated with a flange 11 connects to it by a hinge zone 21 of lesser thickness.
  • this hinge zone 21 is formed by a slat having, transversely, a width negligible, this width being for example substantially of the order of the thickness of the flange 11 and the cheeks 20.
  • the cheek 20 associated with a flange 11 extends along one of the lateral edges 13, 14 of this flange 11.
  • the cheek 20 associated with a flange 11 does not extends only a fraction of the height of it.
  • the cheek 20 extends only on less half of the height of the flange 11.
  • disengageable retaining means are provided between a cheek 20 and the flange 11 with which it is associated, for a maintenance at least temporary of this cheek 20 in the waiting position.
  • these retaining means disengageable members comprise a breakable tongue 22 connecting the cheek 20 to a console 23 provided for this purpose projecting on the flange 11.
  • this breakable tongue 22 which is of reduced thickness, extends only over a fraction of the length of the console 23, from the free edge thereof.
  • the cheek 20 associated with each of the flanges 11 presents reception means 25.
  • the terminal strip 12 ' is a terminal block whose protective body 26, which is made of insulating material, at each of its ends, a tip 27 which, in section longitudinal, is generally conformed in T.
  • the means of reception 25 that presents in correspondence the cheek 20 associated with a flange 11 have a notch 28 specific to the commitment of such a mouthpiece 27.
  • This notch 28 extends parallel to the lateral edges 13, 14 of the flange 11, and opens on the side of its upper edge 15.
  • the notch 28 includes, in protruding inwards, on at least one of its own side edges 29, and, in practice, on each of these, in the vicinity of its outlet 30, a notch detent 31 preceded by an engagement chamfer 32.
  • the cheek 20 associated with each of the flanges 11 is molded in position waiting in conjunction with this one.
  • the splitter 10 After the splitter 10 has been assembled, it therefore extends into position waiting, at the front of this distributor 10, parallel to the bars of connection 12, without appreciably increasing the overall width of this distributor 10, and without constituting any inconvenience for the wiring connecting strips 12.
  • connection strips 12 If it becomes necessary to be attached to these connection strips 12 an additional terminal strip 12 ', it is sufficient for the installer to severing the breakable tongue 22 until previously holding in position waiting for the cheeks 20, and by pivoting them 90 ° around their hinge zone 21, to bring them into the service position for which, parallel to each other, they each extend respectively into the extension of the flanges 11.
  • this additional 12 'terminal strip proves to be unnecessary, it is possible to proceed with its removal, and it is also possible, if desired, to proceed to an elimination of the cheeks 20, by breaking their hinge area 21.
