Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable clamp according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a cable clamp of the generic type is from the DE 196 29 422 C1 previously known. With this cable clamp are used to contact the shielding of the cable at Set the cable clamp on a contact plate both on the inside of the web and on the adjacent, opposite insides of the Outer legs arranged near the web contact elements, the one cut free from the web and the thighs, lobes curved inwards are in the direction of the cable to be clamped protrude from the dock and from the two outer legs.
  • the outer legs with others cut out rag provided to the outside are bent and as holding elements for fixing serve the cable clamp on a contact plate.
  • the Contact plate has two parallel slots, the Outer edges at a distance of the width of the web of the cable clamp are arranged apart from each other.
  • the Cable clamp comes with the free ends of the outer legs inserted into the two slots, the cable with its shielding between the three contact elements is introduced.
  • the cable clamp in The two slots will make the cable in the area the shield is clamped, the lobe-shaped Holding elements snapped through the slots and on the side opposite the cable rest on the contact plate and thus the cable its shielding between cable clamp and Set the contact plate.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object the holding and contacting force of the known Improve cable clamp.
  • the invention provides that for contacting the shielding of the cable of the bridge shaped as an arc outwards and with marginal inward facing ledges for pressing in is provided in the shielding of the cable.
  • the It forms a circular arc together with the web strips the holding elements for contacting the shielding of the Cable.
  • the footbridge is rigid and presses with it their edge-side web strips in the shielding of the Cable, so that a considerable rigidity of the Steges a permanent definition of the shielding of the Guaranteed cable on the contact plate.
  • the web on two inside the cable clamp arranged inner legs held by means of circular arch parts with the web and with the Outer legs are connected.
  • the Inner thighs in connection with those parallel to these lying parts of the outer legs resilient arches that in the longitudinal direction of the cable clamp essentially rigid but elastic in the transverse direction, so that the Cable clamp when subjected to pressure from outside can be opened on both outer legs.
  • the invention is further developed the holding elements formed from cut-out rags bent on the inside of the outer legs. As a result, the holding elements snap behind the Inside of the parallel slots of the contact plate on.
  • the outer leg is offset in height from each other arranged. This ensures that the outer legs the cable clamp when pressing in the outer legs into the parallel slots on the contact plate can be pressed in alternately and therefore only slightly Impression forces are required.
  • the cable clamp 1 according to that in FIGS. 1 to 5 illustrated first embodiment consists of a Web 2, two on these adjoining outer legs 3, over arcs of quarter circle 4 at an angle, which is slightly smaller than a right angle, with each other are connected, and at the free ends of the Outer leg 3 attached, facing outwards Edge bars 5.
  • the cable clamp 1 is made of a sheet metal strip from the side view of FIG. 2 recognizable width, which is about 1 cm, taking into account that Figures 1,2,3 and 5 are drawn on a scale of 5: 1.
  • the web 2 is used to contact the shielding of the Cable 6 on a contact plate 7 (Fig.5) and is as Circular arc 8 shaped outwards and with marginal inward web strips 9 for Press into the shielding of cable 6.
  • the Shape of the embossed web strips 9 is in the scale 10: 1 completed Fig. 4, which the Detail X from Fig. 2 shows.
  • the marginal, after internally directed, embossed web strips 9, which in Formed connection with the circular arc 8 from the web 2 are stable, unchangeable Contact function between the metallic cable clamp 1 and the metallic shielding of the cable 6, in which the embossed web strips 9 are pressed and which lies in the circular arc 8 of the web 2.
  • the tabs 11 serving as holding elements are on the inside of the outer legs 3 opposite arranged, but in the longitudinal direction of the outer legs 3 staggered. This has the consequence that when pushing the cable clamp 1 in the two parallel slots 10 of the contact plate 7 an inclination of the contact plate 7 is effected, as shown in Fig. 5, the position 1 the contact plate 7 for a thicker cable 6 and Position II of the contact plate 7 for a thinner cable 6 serve, but the position II also when squeezing the shielding of the cable 6 can be reached.
  • the Contact plate 7 is thus due to the offset Arrangement of the tabs 11 regularly under one oblique angle to the vertical axis of the cable clamp 1. This training enables less Pushing force when pushing the cable clamp 1 into the Slots 10 of the contact plate 7.
  • the outer legs 3 are close to the edge webs 5 Slots 12 (Fig.2) for engagement of a not shown Tools, e.g. a screwdriver, with which the release of the cable clamp 1 from the contact plate 7 by bending the Outer leg 3 is effected.
  • a not shown Tools e.g. a screwdriver
  • Embodiment of the cable clamp 20 includes in a corresponding manner Same as the first embodiment 1 to 5 the web 21 with its circular arc 28 and the embossed web strips 29 formed thereon and the two outer legs 30, the ends Edge webs 25 and tab 31 as holding elements on the Inside of the outer legs 30 are provided.
  • in the 1 is the difference from the embodiment of FIG Web 2 arranged on two inside the cable clamp 20
  • Inner legs 22 held by arcuate web parts 23 with the web 21 and by means of further arcuate web parts 24 with the outer legs 30 connected in the second embodiment about the length of the inner leg 22 are longer than in the first embodiment.
  • the arc parts 26 enable a spring clip-like Open the cable clamp 20 by simultaneously on both outer sides of the outer legs 30 in Area of the resilient arc parts 26 is pressed.
  • the at the free ends of the outer legs 30 to the outside directed edge webs 25 have in this embodiment no slits due to opening the cable clamp 20 without tools by external pressure on the spring Arch parts 26 is possible.
  • the holding elements 31 on the inner sides of the outer legs 30 arranged exactly opposite, so that when the cable clamp 20 snaps into the parallel one Slots 10 of the contact plate 7 a vertical arrangement the contact plate 7 to the central axis of the contact terminal 20 while clamping the cable 6 with his Shielding is possible.
  • the modified one third embodiment of the cable clamp 20 according to FIG. 11 are bent inwards as holding elements Tab 31 offset in the longitudinal direction of the outer legs 30 arranged to each other so that one of FIG. 5th corresponding position of the contact plate 7 is effected.
