Description

La présente invention a pour objet un connecteur pour un appareil électrique, et concerne plus particulièrement le problème de rangement et/ou de transport d'un tel connecteur lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé.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.

Une application non limitative illustrant typiquement le problème précédent est le connecteur équipant un chargeur de téléphone mobile. Ce chargeur comprend classiquement un boítier supportant au moins une paire de broches mâles destinées à être reliées électriquement à des fils conducteurs d'une prise femelle (prise secteur), et un cordon d'alimentation. Le chargeur comprend en outre des moyens de contact électrique à l'extrémité du cordon d'alimentation opposée à celle fixée au boítier, pour permettre la connexion électrique entre le cordon et le téléphone mobile. Dans le cas de chargeurs simples, ces moyens de contact électrique sont constitués d'une prise. Dans le cas de chargeurs du type chargeurs de bureau, ces moyens de contact électrique ont en outre une fonction de support du téléphone dans une position quasi verticale.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. In in the case of single chargers, these electrical contact means consist of a taken. In the case of chargers of the office chargers type, these means of contact also have a telephone support function in a quasi position vertical.

Bien que les téléphones mobiles aient une autonomie de plus en plus importante, il reste souhaitable de pouvoir emporter le chargeur avec soi, notamment dans le cas de voyages s'étalant sur plusieurs jours. Pour économiser de la place, l'utilisateur va généralement entourer le cordon d'alimentation autour du boítier du connecteur. L'extrémité de ce cordon d'alimentation opposée à celle fixée au boítier va alors soit, être coincée si possible sous un des derniers enroulements, dans le cas d'un chargeur simple, soit, dans le cas d'un chargeur de bureau, laissée désolidarisée par rapport au boítier.Although mobile phones have more and more autonomy important, it is desirable to be able to take the charger with you, in particular in the case of trips spanning several days. To save space, the user will generally wrap the power cord around the housing of the connector. The end of this power cord opposite to that attached to the housing will either be stuck if possible under one of the last windings, in the case a single charger, or, in the case of an office charger, left uncoupled relative to the housing.

Dans le premier cas, l'enroulement est peu fiable, et le cordon d'alimentation risque de se voir fragilisé. Dans le second cas, le cordon peut aisément se dérouler.In the first case, the winding is unreliable, and the cord risk of being weakened. In the second case, the cord can easily unfold.

En outre, le problème du rangement et du transport se pose également dès la fabrication d'un chargeur. La plupart du temps, le cordon d'alimentation est enroulé après fabrication du chargeur, et maintenu enroulé grâce à une attache rapide posée par le fabricant. Cette attache rapide est généralement constituée par un petit fil en matière plastique tressé autour des enroulements du cordon. Une telle attache ne permet en aucun cas d'automatiser la pose de l'attache. En outre, une fois que l'utilisateur a déballé pour la première fois son chargeur, l'attache est en général définitivement perdue.In addition, the problem of storage and transport also arises from the manufacture of a charger. Most of the time, 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. Furthermore, once that the user unpacked his charger for the first time, the attachment is generally definitely lost.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénient précédents.The object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks.

Ce but est atteint grâce à un connecteur pour un appareil électrique, comportant un boítier supportant au moins une paire de broches mâles destinées à être reliées électriquement à des fils conducteurs d'une prise femelle, et un cordon d'alimentation, caractérisé en ce que ledit connecteur porte un moyen de fixation du cordon d'alimentation sur lequel au moins une desdites broches mâles peut venir s'enficher dans une position de rangement du connecteur.This goal is achieved thanks to 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.

La présente invention a également pour objet un chargeur pour téléphone de radiocommunications comprenant le connecteur selon l'invention et des moyens de contact électrique à l'extrémité dudit cordon d'alimentation opposée audit boítier pour permettre un contact électrique entre ledit cordon d'alimentation et le téléphone de radiocommunications, caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de fixation font partie intégrante desdits moyens de contact électrique.

The present invention also relates to a charger for radiocommunication telephone comprising the connector according to the invention and electrical contact means at the end of said power cord opposite to said housing to allow electrical contact between said power cord and the radiocommunication telephone, characterized in that said fixing means are an integral part of said electrical contact means.

Sur les différentes figures, on a représenté un connecteur comportant un boítier 1 supportant au moins deux broches mâles 2a, 2b, et un cordon d'alimentation 3 dont on ne voit pas l'autre extrémité, afin de ne pas surcharger inutilement les dessins. Comme cela a été spécifié précédemment dans le cas d'un chargeur de téléphone, cette autre extrémité soit porte une prise pour la connexion électrique au téléphone, soit est reliée à un moyen de contact électrique faisant également office de support de téléphone. In the various figures, a connector is shown 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. As previously specified in the case of a phone charger, 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.

Selon l'invention, le connecteur comprend en outre un moyen de fixation 4 permettant de fixer le cordon d'alimentation à au moins l'une des deux broches mâles dans une position de rangement du connecteur. Au préalable, le cordon est de préférence enroulé autour du boítier comme indiqué sur les figures 1b ou 2b.According to the invention, 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. Beforehand, the cord is preferably wrapped around the housing as shown in Figures 1b or 2b.

Dans le premier mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1a, 1b et 3, le moyen de fixation 4 comporte une plaquette 40 présentant un trou traversant 41 dont les dimensions sont adaptées à la section de la broche mâle 2a sur laquelle la plaquette vient s'enficher dans la position de rangement. De préférence, les dimensions et la forme du trou traversant 41 sont telles qu'elles permettent une insertion facile de la broche 2a dans ce trou traversant, mais un retrait moins aisé de la plaquette, afin d'éviter que le cordon ainsi attaché ne se désolidarise involontairement de la broche 2a.In the first embodiment illustrated in Figures 1a, 1b and 3, 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. Preferably, 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.

Le cordon d'alimentation 3 étant de préférence enroulé au préalable autour du boítier 1, comme illustré sur la figure 1b, la plaquette 40 peut avantageusement présenter au moins un deuxième trou traversant (non représenté) permettant d'ajuster la fixation en fonction de la longueur du cordon d'alimentation 3. De cette manière, le cordon 3 peut toujours être attaché à la broche 2a, même s'il n'est pas enroulé de la même façon d'une fois sur l'autre (enroulement plus ou moins serré).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).

Dans le second mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 2a et 2b,le moyen de fixation 4 se présente sous la forme d'un capuchon adapté pour être fixé par recouvrement sur l'une des deux broches mâles dans ladite position de rangement. Là encore, , les dimensions et la forme du capuchon sont telles qu'elles permettent une insertion facile de la broche 2a dans ce capuchon, tout en évitant un retrait intempestif de ce capuchon sans action volontaire de l'utilisateur.In the second embodiment shown in Figures 2a and 2b, 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.

Les moyens de fixation 4 ont toujours été représentés sur les figures comme étant fixés au cordon d'alimentation 3. Ceci peut être fait par tout procédé connu d'attache (collier d'attache par exemple). Bien entendu, on placera les moyens de fixation 4 au plus près de l'extrémité du cordon d'alimentation 3 opposée à celle reliée au boítier.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.

Il est également possible de placer les moyens de fixation réellement à l'extrémité de ce cordon, c'est-à-dire, dans le cas du chargeur de téléphone, au niveau du moyen de contact électrique (prise ou support) destiné à la connexion électrique entre le cordon et le téléphone. Ce mode de réalisation permet d'intégrer le moyen de fixation 4 au moyen de contact électrique, et de simplifier le processus de fabrication (pièce obtenue par exemple par moulage d'une matière plastique).It is also possible to place 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).

Dans une autre variante non schématisée de l'invention, les moyens de fixation 4 sont tels que toutes les broches mâles du connecteur peuvent être enfichées simultanément dans une position de rangement du connecteur. Dans le cas du connecteur de la figure 1a, cela reviendrait à avoir deux trous traversant espacés d'une distance identique à celle séparant les deux broches 2a, 2b, et dans le cas du connecteur de la figure 2a, deux capuchons également espacés d'une distance identique à celle séparant les deux broches 2a, 2b.In another non-schematic variant of the invention, 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.

Avantageusement, le moule destiné à fabriquer le boítier 1 est tel que les broches mâles 2a, 2b s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement et sont séparées sur toute leur longueur prise à partir du boítier 1 par un espace vide 5 de manière à permettre un enroulement maximal du cordon d'alimentation 3 autour du boítier 1 et entre les deux broches mâles 2a, 2b, comme représenté sur la figure 3.Advantageously, 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.

Grâce à l'invention, l'enroulement et la fixation du cordon d'alimentation à l'issue de la fabrication du connecteur peuvent être aisément automatisés. En outre, l'utilisateur se voit offrir un moyen simple et fiable pour ranger et transporter son connecteur.Thanks to the invention, the winding and fixing of the power cord to the outcome of the connector manufacturing can be easily automated. In addition, the user is offered a simple and reliable way to store and transport their connector.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au chargeur de téléphone mobile, et s'applique notamment également à tout type de connecteur comportant un boítier supportant des broches mâles, et un cordon d'alimentation relié à son autre extrémité à une prise, ou un appareil électrique.Of course, 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.
