Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spring connection terminal for electrical apparatus consisting of a conductive support part fixing to a main conductive part and at least one folded loop-shaped clamping spring and provided with a clamping window in which passes a wing of the support piece.
  • an elastic terminal formed by a spring folded in a loop or cage form and a fixing wing is assembled to the conductive support part and another wing serves for clamping the electrical wire and the connection.
  • the clamping wing is provided with an eye or a window in which is housed the electrical wire which remains trapped between an edge of said window and a wing of the conductive support part, this by the force of the spring.
  • the electric wire is engaged in the eye or the clamping window by simultaneously pressing the spring loop with a screwdriver.
  • EP patent 0 806 811 and DE 196 29 563 there is known an elastic terminal in which is housed inside the loop, an abutment to prevent crushing of the spring. It must indeed avoid a permanent deformation of the spring which would have unfortunate consequences on the contact between the electrical wire and the conductive support part.
  • the current stops which are mounted in the loop spring simply have the function of avoiding crushing and permanent deformation of the spring.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a spring terminal provided with an abutment mounted in the loop spring and ensuring, in addition to the traditional stop function, positioning of the electric wire.
  • This stop is immobilized laterally relative to the spring and is housed in two terminals with adjacent springs.
  • the terminal according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a spring stop which is shaped by folding so as to be housed inside the spring loop and to constitute, on the outside of the loop, wire guiding means which are adjacent to the wing of the support piece.
  • the terminal is formed, inside the spring loop, of two parts joined to one another.
  • the spring abutment forms two abutment studs joined to two hubs assembled to one another and integral with two half-shells forming a wire guide bowl, these two half-shells being joined together. one to another by a folding membrane.
  • the electrical apparatus a part of which is schematically represented on the figure 1 comprises a housing of insulating material 10 forming cells 10a in which are housed spring terminals A. In the cells appear conductive parts 14 which carries a fixed contact.
  • This cover 1 has for each terminal an orifice 12 allowing the introduction of the electrical wire C to be connected to the terminal A and an orifice 13 allowing the passage of a tool B for pressing the spring so as to insert the electric wire and to connect it.
  • the terminal marked A as a whole is fixed by means of a conductive support part 2 on the main conductive part 14 which carries a fixed contact of a breaking pole of the apparatus.
  • This conductive support part 2 has a general V shape and has a wing 2b for guiding and connection and a second wing 2a for fixing.
  • This fixing flange 2a is fixed to the connection pad 14a of the conductive part 14 by means of a screw 15 which is screwed into a threaded hole formed in the connection pad 14a.
  • the wing 2b forms a guide branch for the electrical wire C.
  • the wing 2b has two teeth 2c which are arched at their end.
  • the wing 2a has two edges 2d which maintain the position of the partition 16 forming part of the housing or the cover of the device.
  • Terminal A comprises at least one clamping spring 3 folded into a loop shape. It is constituted by a support wing 3a applied to the flange 2b of the conductive support part, by a clamping flange 3c and a flange 3b which forms spring.
  • the clamping wing 3c is provided with a clamping window 3d into which a tooth 2c of the wing 2b engages and remains engaged.
  • This clamping window 3d has a 3rd edge which bears against one side of the wing 2b-2c.
  • the terminal A illustrated in the drawings is a double terminal which comprises two springs 3 mounted next to each other.
  • the terminal comprises a spring stop 4 which is partially housed inside the two springs 3, surrounds the wing 2b without wrapping the spring and forms a bowl 45 for guiding the electric wire C, this bowl being adjacent to the wing 2b.
  • This abutment 4 made of plastic material consists, inside the loop of the two springs 3, of two abutment studs 41a and 41b having a cylindrical shape and which are joined by links 47a and 47b to two hubs 42a and 42b united to each other.
  • the two hubs 42a and 42b are integral with two half-shells 43a and 43b which are joined to one another by a folding membrane 48 and separated by a slot 44. These two half-shells surround the wing 2b and form a bowl 45 for guiding the end of the electrical wire C.
  • the two hubs 42a and 42b are provided with assembly hooks 49a and 49b which enable them to be joined to each other in a joint 46.
  • abutment studs 41a and 41b are disposed near the windows 3d while the hubs 42a-42b are adjacent to the folding curvature connecting the wings 3a and 3b.
  • the two springs 3 are positioned on the wing 2b and then the stop 4 is folded around the membrane 48 so as to bring the pads 41a and 41b face to face in the springs 3.
  • the stop is maintained at inside the spring loops so as not to fully enclose the spring.
  • the terminal A is housed between the walls of a cell and is fixed by the fixing flange 2a on the conductive part 14 which is flush with this cell.
