  • the cable (4) is inserted, through at least one opening, at one end of the connector (1), the other end of the connector (1) being formed of a base (10) with a housing defining at least one cavity receiver of an electrical plug.
  • the base (10) has an electrical plug, for example female, compatible with a plug complementary electric, that is to say male in the same example.
  • the adapter (2) has a head (21), perforated, at a first so-called front end and a rigid elastic part said insertable (22) extending from said head (21) towards the other said end back of the adapter (2).
  • a longitudinal central duct (20) substantially cylindrical extends over the entire length of the adapter (2).
  • the connector (1) can be partially inserted into this duct (20) and be fixed there by via connector fixing means (1).
  • the connector (1) has a portion cylindrical (13) threaded of determined diameter.
  • the central duct (20) of the adapter (2) has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the portion cylindrical threaded (13) of the connector (1) and includes a thread located on the side of the head (21).
  • the connector (1) can thus be screwed, by its portion cylindrical threaded (13), in the central duct (20) of the adapter (2). said cylindrical threaded portion (13) is positioned on the side of the end of the connector (1) by which the cable (4) is fixed.
  • the connector (1) comprises four coaxial cylindrical portions (11, 12, 13, 14).

  • This fourth cylindrical portion (14), of a said reduced diameter which is less than said first diameter has an orifice for receiving and connecting the conductors of the power supply cable (4).
  • the diameter of the cylindrical portion threaded (13) may be different from said first diameter. It is possible to consider, in alternative embodiments, connectors arranged differently and all comprising a threaded cylindrical portion (13) for screwing into the adapter (2).
  • the head (21) of the adapter (2) has a diameter which is greater than said first diameter of the connector (1).
  • said insertable part (22), cylindrical has a diameter between that of the head (21) and said first diameter.
  • the central duct (20) of the adapter (2) whose diameter is substantially equal to the diameter of the cylindrical portion threaded (13) of the connector (1), crosses both the head (21) and the insertable part (22) of the adapter (2).
  • the so-called insertable part (22) of the adapter (2) comprises elements elastic anchors (23, 220), the anchoring being carried out inside the hole blind.
  • These elastic anchors (23, 220) include at least two ribs (23) of thin elastic material, for example 1 mm.
  • These ribs (23) are arranged longitudinally on the surface cylindrical outer of said insertable part (22). They include a first part (230), of determined thickness, adjacent to the head (21) of the adapter (2) and intended to be in contact with the edges of the blind hole (7) at the end of the installation of the device and a second elongated part (231), extending the first part (230), the thickness of which decreases with the distance from said head (21) of the adaptation means (2).
  • the blind hole (7) is drilled according to the adapter dimensions (2).
  • the diameter of the blind hole (7) is substantially equal to the diameter of the so-called insertable part (22), for example 22 mm.
  • the insertion of the adapter (2) into the blind hole (7) is carried out by forcing on the ribs (23) which provide additional thickness by relative to the diameter of the insertable part (22). This insertion is however facilitated by the progression of this extra thickness, during the introduction of said second parts (231) of the ribs (23).
  • the insertable part (22) is fully inserted in the blind hole, these are then said first parts (230) of the ribs (23) which are in contact with the edges of the hole (7).
  • the anchoring elements elastic bands (23, 220) of the insertable part (22) can comprise at least an elastic longitudinal tongue (220) adjacent to the head (21) of the means adaptation (2).
  • a portion of the periphery of said insertable part (22), separated by a slot (f) from the rest of the insertable part (22) forms such a tongue (220).
  • This tab (220) carries on its outer face a rib (23) serves to block the adapter (2) in being moved outward by means of spacing said tongue (220).
  • These spacing means can be at least one so-called locking screw (100) insertable from an orifice (26), for example preformed, of the head (21) of the adapter (2).
  • This locking screw (100) is directed substantially towards said slot (f) and its length is sufficient for it to come into contact with the tongue (220) to spread it outwards.
  • the tongue (220) can be replaced by two or several tabs, for example adjacent and separated from each other by a longitudinal slot.
  • the locking screw (100) supports a holding element (5) of a chain fixed to a protective cap the base (10) of the connector (1).
  • the device according to the invention can also have on the periphery of the head (21) of the adapter (2) a bead (210) to receive a cap (not shown) which covers the entire part remained outside the blind hole (7), in particular said base (10) of the connector (1).
  • the adapter (2) includes means blocking the power supply cable (4).
  • These blocking means are placed at the rear of the adapter (2) and include at least one clamping lip (6) in elastic material, adjustable by means of screwing elements.
  • the elastic clamping lip (6) is for example pushed by a screw (200) inserted into a preformed hole (24) located at the rear of the adapter (2).
  • These blocking means make it possible in particular to prevent an installer, manipulating for example the other end of the cable (4), exerting traction or any force on the contacts of the cable (4) with the connector (1).
  • the power cable electric (4) which attaches to the connector (1) has a length (L) sufficient to that the device according to the invention can be positioned in a hole (7) drilled at the top of an electric pole, a candelabra or similar.
  • the cable can measure approximately 7 or 8 meters, so that it can be connected to a Power source.
  • the connector (1) of the device according to the invention delivers by example 13 amps.
  • the method of attachment of this device is particularly advantageous in the case of a hole drilling (7) in height on a support.
  • the installer working in a nacelle has, after drilling a hole (7) of a few centimeters in diameter, at most three operations to perform: manual insertion of the adapter (2), fitted with the seal (3), into the blind hole (7), manual screwing of the connector (1) after seeing the cable (4) in the support and finally a screwing of the locking screw (100) which can be performed in seconds with a simple screwdriver.
  • the pose in height of the electrical connection device is therefore very simple to produce.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention with a different adapter (2) requiring a four-port type connector coaxial cylindrical (11, 12, 13, 14) as described above.
  • a cylindrical ring (8) is inserted on said fourth portion cylindrical (14) of the connector (1).
  • the inner diameter of the ring (8) is substantially equal to said reduced diameter of this fourth cylindrical portion (14) and the outer diameter of the ring (8) is such that said ring (8) penetrates in the central duct (20) of the adapter (2).
  • the adapter (2) comprises in its so-called insertable part (22) at least two longitudinal slots which separate at least two longitudinal portions (25). These longitudinal portions (25) each include an extra thickness (not shown) located towards the rear of said insertable part (22) and oriented towards the inside of the adapter (2).
  • These longitudinal portions (25) are made of elastic rigid material. The extra thickness of these longitudinal portions (25) is sufficient to locally lower the diameter of the central duct (20) of the adapter (2) below the diameter outside of said cylindrical ring (8). Longitudinal portions (25) thus form elastic anchoring elements which move apart when said cylindrical ring (8), carried by said fourth cylindrical portion (14) of the connector (1), is inserted into said central conduit (20). This system with ring (8) avoids a screwing step with respect to the shape of embodiment comprising a spacer tongue (220).
  • the material used to make the adapter (2) for example by molding, can be a polyacetal or another polymer having good elasticity while remaining rigid.
  • each of the so-called longitudinal portions (25) may have on its outer surface a rib comparable to the ribs (23) already described in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2.
  • These ribs (23) can also be made of polyacetal or similar memory material form.
  • the head (21) of the adapter (2) can be polygonal, for example hexagonal like a nut. It is also possible to envisage that at least said second portion (12) of the connector (1) is no longer cylindrical but polygonal for example.
  • An example of industrial application of the invention is a use in the field of urban lighting.
  • the electrical connection device according to the invention can be easily installed on an electric pole or similar. It is particularly suitable for supplying current, for example of 13 amps, light decorations for parties, signs advertising or certain lighting fixtures for entertainment / shows.
  • One of the advantages of the device according to the invention is its discretion and the simplicity of its installation. It can therefore be easily used at individuals, on electrical cabinets, and for many applications to supply power to an electrical device.
