Dans tous les cas, cette plaque de poussée 128 permet à un usager d'actionner le levier 120 à pivotement dans le sens de l'abaissement ou dans le sens du relèvement pour abaisser ou relever ladite plaque-poussoir 121 correspondante.In all cases, this
A cet effet, la plaque enjoliveur 101 du socle 100 comporte en bordure, en regard de chaque puits 110, une fente allongée 105 qui débouche sur un bord 101A de ladite plaque enjoliveur 101 et au travers de laquelle émerge la partie d'actionnement 122 du levier 120 correspondant et dans laquelle se déplace ladite partie d'actionnement 122 lors du pivotement dudit levier 120 entre ses deux positions de connexion et de déconnexion.For this purpose, the
Sur les figures 1 et 2, certains leviers représentés sont en position de déconnexion, c'est-à-dire en position abaissée, et d'autres leviers 120 sont en position de connexion, c'est-à-dire en position relevée, ce qui correspond soit à un relèvement de la plaque-poussoir 121 soit à un abaissement de cette dernière.In Figures 1 and 2, some levers shown are in the disconnected position, that is to say in the lowered position, and
Pour atteindre le fond 111 de chaque puits 110, avantageusement, la partie d'actionnement 122 et le bras extérieur 123 de la partie active du levier 120 forment entre eux un angle aigu α, préférentiellement un angle droit. En outre, les deux bras 123, 124 de la partie active du levier 120 forment entre eux un angle β qui est un angle obtus par exemple de l'ordre de 120 degrés.To reach the
Enfin, l'extrémité 124A du bras intérieur 124 s'étend dans le prolongement de la plaque-poussoir 121 sensiblement parallèlement au bras extérieur 123, en formant ainsi un angle γ obtus avec ledit bras intérieur 124 du même ordre que l'angle β.Finally, the
Selon la variante de réalisation du levier 120 représentée sur la figure 5, bien entendu on peut prévoir que le bras intérieur 124 et la plaque-poussoir 121 s'étendent dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre sans former un angle entre eux.According to the embodiment of the
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 4B, chaque levier 120 comprend une partie de ses moyens de pivotement. Dans ce cas, lesdits moyens de pivotement comprennent un arbre 125 monté à pivotement dans une chape 103. L'arbre 125 de pivotement fait partie intégrante du bras extérieur 123 de la partie active du levier 120 et la chape 103 fait partie intégrante du corps 102 du socle 100 de prise de courant.According to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4B, each
La partie active du levier 120 comprend une ouverture 126 qui s'étend dans une partie de la plaque-poussoir 121 et se prolonge sur la longueur du bras intérieur 124 et sur une partie de la longueur du bras extérieur 123. L'arbre 125 de pivotement s'étend dans cette ouverture 126 transversalement à la direction longitudinale du bras extérieur 123, en étant positionné juste à la jonction 127 entre le bras extérieur 123 et le bras intérieur 124. En outre, cette ouverture 126 permet de laisser passer la broche de terre 2 ou une languette de raccordement à la terre 2'.The active portion of the
Ainsi, le bras intérieur 124 de la partie active du levier 120 se présente sous la forme d'une fourchette à deux barreaux parallèles qui s'engagent dans des ouvertures correspondantes prévues dans la paroi cylindrique 110A du puits 110, la chape 103 étant située juste derrière ces ouvertures prévues dans la paroi cylindrique 110A, à l'extérieur du puits 110 correspondant.Thus, the
Lors du basculement du levier 120 entre ses deux positions de connexion et de déconnexion, comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 4B, le bras intérieur 124 navigue dans les ouvertures prévues dans la paroi cylindrique 110A du puits 110 correspondant.When tilting the
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 5, les moyens de pivotement de chaque levier 120 comprennent une surface de basculement arrondie 102' située à l'extérieur du puits légèrement en dessous du niveau du fond du puits et sur laquelle repose le bras intérieur 124 de la partie active du levier 120. Cette surface de basculement arrondie 102' fait partie intégrante du socle 100.According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the pivoting means of each
En outre, avantageusement, selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 5, il est prévu des moyens élastiques de rappel 130 aptes à ramener ledit levier 120 positionné dans sa position de déconnexion, c'est-à-dire une position abaissée dans laquelle ladite plaque-poussoir 121 est relevée, vers sa position de connexion (telle que représentée sur la figure 5) dans laquelle ladite plaque-poussoir 121 est abaissée dans le fond 111 du puits 110 du socle 100.In addition, advantageously, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, elastic return means 130 are provided capable of bringing back said
Ces moyens élastiques de rappel comprennent ici une lame ressort 130 dont une extrémité 130A est raccordée au dos du bras intérieur 124 de la partie active du levier 120 et dont l'autre extrémité est raccordée à une partie interne du socle 100.These elastic return means here comprise a
Cette lame ressort 130 peut avantageusement venir de formation avec la plaque enjoliveur 101 du socle 100, l'extrémité 130A de cette lame ressort 130 étant libre et simplement en appui contre le dos du bras intérieur 124 de la partie active dudit levier 120.This
Ainsi, lorsqu'une fiche de prise de courant est insérée dans un puits 110 du socle 100 de prise de courant avec ses broches de contact insérées dans les orifices 112 pour être raccordées aux contacts électriques prévus dans le corps 102 du socle 100, un usager peut actionner à pivotement le levier 120 en poussant sur la plaque de poussée 128 afin de l'abaisser, et de relever la plaque-poussoir 121 qui pousse sur la fiche de prise de courant afin d'extraire ses broches de contact des orifices 112 prévus dans le fond 111 du puits 110.Thus, when a plug socket is inserted into a
Une fois que la fiche de prise courant est retirée du puits 110, l'usager peut ramener le levier 120 correspondant dans sa position initiale, dite position de connexion, en le remontant par pivotement de façon à positionner la plaque-poussoir 121 dans le fond 111 du puits 110 prêt à recevoir une nouvelle fiche de prise de courant.Once the socket plug is removed from the well 110, the user can return the
La présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés, mais l'homme du métier saura y apporter toute variante conforme aux revendications..The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but the skilled person will be able to make any variant according to the claims.
En particulier, on pourra prévoir que la plaque-poussoir ne présente pas une forme semi-circulaire mais simplement une forme rectangulaire qui s'étend dans une partie centrale du fond du puits correspondant. On pourra également prévoir toute autre forme pour cette plaque-poussoir.In particular, it can be provided that the pusher plate does not have a semi-circular shape but simply a rectangular shape that extends in a central portion of the bottom of the corresponding well. Any other form for this push plate may also be provided.
On pourra enfin prévoir toute autre forme de moyens de pivotement pour le levier.Finally, any other form of pivoting means for the lever may be provided.
