  • the constituents used can advantageously and economically be the same in both cases.
  • connection terminals provided according to the invention are actually implemented, it is advantageously possible, on assembly, to confer, without any particular operation, on one and / or the other of them, any orientation that would be desirable.
  • FIGS. 10 illustrate, by way of example, the case where the mobile connection apparatus 10 according to the invention is a plug intended to be removably implanted at one end of any electric cable, and for example, to that of an electric cable belonging to a not shown extension cord.
  • this mechanism 11 is organized from a block of insulating material 12, and it forms, at its base, a plate 13 of which only the outer surface 14 is normally visible, the connection apparatus mobile 10 complementing a hood, not shown, which cap the assembly.
  • the mobile connection apparatus 10 comprises at least one contact element 15P, 15T, such as alveolus or pin, and at least one connection terminal 16P, 16T, which, according to arrangements described in more detail later, is electrically connected to the contact element 15P, 15T corresponding, and which is specific to the connection of any electrical conductor belonging to the electrical cable on which the assembly is to be reported.
  • the plug that constitutes the mobile connection apparatus 10 according to the invention is, for example, a bipolar plug with grounding.

  • the contact elements 15P protrude parallel to each other on the outer surface 14 of the plate 13 of the block of insulating material 12, and the contact element 15T opens on this outer surface 14.
  • the mobile connection apparatus 10 comprises three connection terminals 16P, 16T, one by contact element 15P, 15T.
  • the block of insulating material 12 forms, projecting on the inner surface 18 of its plate 13, two housings 19P, which, one and the other generally well-shaped, extend in parallel. one to the other, at a distance from each other, and which, in practice, are each respectively positioned vertically above the contact elements 1 5P concerned.
  • Each of these housings 19P has laterally, for reasons specified later, a bore 20.
  • the block of insulating material 12 also forms, on the inner surface 18 of its plate 13, a housing 19T.
  • the block of insulating material 12 also forms, also, projecting on the inner surface 18 of its plate 13, a 19'T housing.
  • this housing 19'T is generally well-shaped, like the previous housing 19P.
  • the housing 19T is open laterally on two opposite sides.
  • the block of insulating material 12 also protrudes on the inner surface 18 of its plate 13, a pillar 22, which, in practice, is leaned against the housing 19T of the connection terminal 16T, and from the upper part of which extends, cantilevered, a gutter 23 intended to form, with a similar gutter provided for this purpose on the associated cover, a clean tip to the passage of the electric cable on which l together must be reported.
  • connection terminal 16P, 16T comprises a shank 24 by which it is force-fitted in a tubular element 25P, 25T, and it is by means of this tubular element 25P, 25T that this connection terminal 16P, 16T is electrically connected to the corresponding contact element 15P, 15T.
  • connection terminals 16P, 16T are all identical to each other.
  • connection terminal 16P Only one of them, in this case a connection terminal 16P, will be described in the following, with reference to the Figures 2 and 3 .
  • this connection terminal 16P is a screw connection terminal, that is to say a connection terminal comprising a metal body 26, which is pierced, longitudinally, with a bore 27, and which, transversely thereto, has a tapped hole 29 with which a screw 30 is engaged.
  • the body 26 has, externally, in diametrically opposite positions with respect to each other, two flats 31, for its wedging in the housing 19P, 19T corresponding.
  • the shank 24 extends parallel to the bore 27.
  • the shank 24 is not coaxial with the bore 27, because, in order to leave a maximum thickness of material on the side of the screw 30, the latter is off-center in the body 26.
  • the tail 24 is tapered at its free end, to facilitate its engagement in the corresponding tubular element 25P, 25T.
  • the tail 24 is thus tapered by a frustoconical chamfer 33.
  • the shank 24 is integral with the body 26, coming from one and the same piece with it.
  • the tubular member 25P, 25T is integral with the corresponding contact member 15P, 15T.
  • the contact element 15P is a pin
  • the tubular element 25P extends back to back with it, being open at its end opposite to the own end of the contact element 15P.
  • this tubular element 25P has a closed contour in cross-section.
  • this tubular element 25P forms, at its outlet, a flared flange 35, to facilitate, again, the engagement of the tail 24 of the associated connection terminal 16P.
  • the contact element 15T is a cell
  • the associated tubular element 25T belongs, with it, to the same metal blank 36 suitably cut and folded.
  • this metal blank 36 comprises, generally, in a generally U-shaped, on the one hand, a middle part 37, of the same edge of which are derived, at a distance, one of the another, two sections 38, 39 participating, for the first, in the constitution of the contact element 15T, and constituting, for the second, the tubular element 25T, and, secondly, two lateral wings 40, which by a harpoon configuration, are suitable for anchoring the assembly in the block of insulating material 12 and / or in the cover associated therewith.
  • the tubular element 25T has, in cross-section, an open contour through a slot 41.
  • This tubular element 25T can thus advantageously benefit, radially, from a certain elasticity.
  • tubular element 25T thus formed results from the roll-up on itself of a portion of the corresponding section 39 of the metal blank 36.
  • the shank 24 of the connection terminals 16P, 16T has, externally, a diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the tubular elements 25T, 25P, while being slightly greater than the latter.

  • this shank 24 may be knurled or streaked.
  • the tubular element 25P of the contact elements 15P has, in cross section, an open contour by a slot, such as the tubular element 25T associated with the contact element 15T, especially when, at the instead of being massive, as shown, the pin constituting these contact elements 15P is hollow, resulting for example from cutting and rolling, as the tubular element 25T.
  • connection terminals 16P, 16T when, as described above, connection terminals 16P, 16T are effectively implemented, the drilling 20 of the housings 19P of the connection terminals 16P makes it possible to have access to the screw 30 of those by allowing, in practice, the passage of a screwdriver.
  • connection terminals 16P, 16T are omitted, and the connection to the corresponding electrical conductors is simply by the crimping the tubular elements 25P, 25T on the previously bare end of the conductive core of these electrical conductors.
  • connection terminals used may be connection terminals of another type, and, for example, direct engagement connection terminals or terminals of connection. insulation displacement connection whenever possible and / or permissible.
