Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a connector for an appliance. electric, and more particularly concerns the problem of storage and / or transport of such a connector when not in use.
  • a non-limiting application typically illustrating the previous problem is the connector fitted to a mobile phone charger.
  • This charger includes conventionally a housing supporting at least one pair of male pins intended to be electrically connected to conductive wires of a female socket (mains socket), and a power cord.
  • the charger further comprises contact means electric at the end of the power cord opposite to that attached to the housing, to allow the electrical connection between the cord and the mobile phone.
  • these electrical contact means consist of a taken.
  • these means of contact also have a telephone support function in a quasi position vertical.
  • the winding is unreliable, and the cord risk of being weakened.
  • the cord In the second case, the cord can easily unfold.
  • the problem of storage and transport also arises from the manufacture of a charger.
  • the power cord is rolled up after manufacture of the magazine, and kept rolled up thanks to a fastener quick asked by the manufacturer.
  • This quick coupler is generally made up of a small plastic wire braided around the windings of the cord.
  • Such a attachment does not in any way automate the installation of the attachment.
  • the attachment is generally definitely lost.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks.
  • a connector for an electrical device comprising a housing supporting at least one pair of male pins intended for be electrically connected to lead wires from a female socket, and a cord supply, characterized in that said connector carries a means for fixing the power cord on which at least one of said male pins can come plug into a connector storage position.
  • a connector comprising a case 1 supporting at least two male pins 2a, 2b, and a cord power supply 3, the other end of which cannot be seen, so as not to overload unnecessarily the drawings.
  • this other end either has a socket for connection electric to the telephone, or is connected to an electrical contact means making also as a phone holder.
  • the connector further comprises a fixing means 4 for attaching the power cord to at least one of the two male pins in a connector storage position.
  • the cord is preferably wrapped around the housing as shown in Figures 1b or 2b.
  • the fastening means 4 comprises a plate 40 having a through hole 41 whose dimensions are adapted to the section of the male pin 2a on which the insert comes in the storage position.
  • dimensions and shape of the through hole 41 are such that they allow easy insertion of pin 2a into this through hole, but less easy removal of the plate, in order to prevent the cord thus attached from becoming detached involuntarily from pin 2a.
  • the power cord 3 is preferably wound beforehand around of the housing 1, as illustrated in Figure 1b, the wafer 40 can advantageously have at least a second through hole (not shown) for adjusting fixing according to the length of the power cord 3. In this way, the cord 3 can still be attached to the pin 2a, even if it is not wound the same way once on the other (more or less tight winding).
  • the fastening means 4 is in the form of a cap adapted to be fixed by overlapping on one of the two male pins in said position of storage. Again, the dimensions and shape of the cap are such that allow easy insertion of pin 2a into this cap, while avoiding inadvertent removal of this cap without voluntary action by the user.
  • the fixing means 4 have always been shown in the figures as being attached to the power cord 3. This can be done by any known method of attachment (attachment collar for example). Of course, we will place the means to attachment 4 closest to the end of the power cord 3 opposite to that connected to the housing.
  • the fixing means actually at the end of this cord, i.e. in the case of the phone charger, at the level of the electrical contact means (socket or support) intended for connection between the cord and the phone.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to integrate the fixing means 4 by means of electrical contact, and to simplify the process manufacturing (part obtained for example by molding a plastic material).
  • the means of fixing 4 are such that all the male pins of the connector can be plugged in simultaneously in a connector storage position. In the case of connector of figure 1a, this would amount to having two spaced through holes of a distance identical to that separating the two pins 2a, 2b, and in the case of connector of Figure 2a, two caps also spaced apart identical to that separating the two pins 2a, 2b.
  • the mold intended to manufacture the housing 1 is such that the male pins 2a, 2b extend substantially parallel and are separated on their entire length taken from the housing 1 by an empty space 5 so as to allow maximum winding of the power cord 3 around the housing 1 and between the two male pins 2a, 2b, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the winding and fixing of the power cord to the outcome of the connector manufacturing can be easily automated.
  • the user is offered a simple and reliable way to store and transport their connector.
  • the invention is not limited to the mobile phone charger, and applies in particular also to any type of connector comprising a housing supporting male pins, and a power cord connected at its other end to an outlet, or an electrical appliance.
