Definitions

  • the invention relates to a 2-gang socket-outlet, comprising a body of insulating material, a mounting plate, having the body attached thereto, metallic terminal units, including first connectors fitting for contact with the prongs of electric plugs and second connectors intended for contact with electric wires, and a housing section, constituting a cover or a case which conceals an interior of the socket-outlet, the socket-outlet interior comprising at least the body and the terminal units.
  • the housing section forms a segment of the shroud.
  • Child protectors are generally also attached to the housing section. This sets its specific limitations to the modifiability of a housing section in terms of materials and shapes. Safety aspects must also be considered when interchanging housing sections. Live socket-outlets may also exist at a working site (against regulations) due to various stages of construction and electrical installation processes. This may result in so-called passing contact electric shocks from exposed first connectors.
  • the main components in a 2-gang socket-outlet of the invention are a housing section 1, a mounting plate 2, a body 3 of insulating material, which is attached to the mounting plate 2, metallic terminal units 4, an earth terminal unit 9, an insulator 6, which in the present embodiment constitutes at the same time a part of a child protection element, child protectors 7 and a cover 8 for the child protector, as well as a disengagement member 10.
  • the housing section 1 Aside from the housing section 1, the above components make up an interior 5 assembled for a single package, which houses all technical features of the socket-outlet and which interior 5, once installed, is screen-protected without the housing section 1.
  • the housing section 1 is replaceable, e.g. for reasons of appearance (colour, shape, surface quality, etc.), or capable of creating diverse product variations (product for concealed installation, surface-mounted product, etc.).
  • the body 3 illustrated in figs. 11-14 is provided with two elongated recesses 3.4 with expanded ends for receiving subsequently described terminal units 4, such that the terminal units 4 and an earth terminal unit 9 to be placed therebetween are spaced and electrically insulated from each other.
  • the body 3 has its bottom side edges provided with holes 3.1 for bringing electric wires diagonally from below to connectors.
  • holes 3.1 for bringing electric wires diagonally from below to connectors.
  • the body 3 is provided with vertical, open-topped channels or recesses 3.3 for receiving clamping brackets 8.3 (Fig. 24) of a child protector's cover.
  • a disengagement member 10 In the middle of the body 3, between the spaces 3.4, is a disengagement member 10, having its ends 10.2 in the form of a flexible tongue provided with cogs 10.1 extending into spaces 3.5 present at the ends of the body, which receive the earth terminal unit's 9 cable connectors 9.4, 9.6 (Fig. 19).
  • tabs 9.5 present at the ends of a connector spring 9.4 are forced by the cogs 10.1 through openings 9.8 (Fig. 19), thus enabling the disengagement of wires 11.
  • Fig. 11a visualises the disengagement member's 10 extended skirts 10.3, which are positioned between the earth terminal unit and other terminals 4 and improve electrical separation therebetween.
  • the terminal unit 4 depicted in figs. 15-18 comprises first connectors 4.1, fitting for contact with the prongs of electric plugs, and second connectors 4.2 intended for contact with electric wires.
  • the terminal unit 4 consists of two elements, namely a connector spring 4.3 and a single plate member, constituting a terminal body and having a deflection 4.7 of 180° for providing connectors 4.1 between the deflected plate sections.
  • a number of additional deflections 4.8 are used for providing connectors 4.2 for electric wires and a closed circle which is locked by engagements 4.10.
  • the connectors 4.2 are configured as spring connectors by fitting the unit 4 with a connector spring 4.3, which has four pieces of deflected spring connectors 4.4.
  • the ends thereof are provided with tabs 4.5 to be placed behind openings present in the connectors 4.2.
  • These tabs or claws 4.5 can be actuated by cogs or protrusions 8.1 present at the ends of the flexible tongues 8.5 of a child protector's cover 8, visualised in figs. 24 and 25, for opening the spring connectors 4.2, 4.4.
  • the connectors 4.2 are secured in a desired angular position between a deflected member 4.9 (Fig. 15) and the engagement lug 4.10.
  • the connector spring 4.3 is fastened to the terminal body by riveting through its apertures 4.6 with rivets made by drawing from the terminal body.
  • the earth terminal unit 9 shown in fig. 19 consists of three different (four in total) elements, which are depicted in figs. 20-22.
  • Two pieces of cradle guards 9.1 of fig. 20 are attached to each other by means of a grounding bridge 9.3 of fig. 22, which are riveted to the guards 9.1 by rivets 9.7 drawn from the very material of the cradle guard and therebetween is secured a connector spring 9.2 which, together with angularly deflected ends 9.6 of the grounding bridge 9.3, constitutes self-clamping spring connectors 9.4, 9.6 for earth conductors 11 which can be inserted in the connectors diagonally from below the socket by way of holes 3.9 (Fig. 14) present in the gable edge of the body's 3 bottom.
  • Support lugs 9.9 deflected from the guard 9.1 support a deflected connector end of the spring 9.2.
  • Figs. 23-25 illustrate a child protection element, including an insulator 6 visualised in figs. 25 and 25a.
  • the side of the insulator 6 to be set against the body 3 is provided with ribs 6.5 for improving electrical separation between the terminal units 4 and the earth terminal unit 9.
  • On top of the insulator 6 are spring-loaded child protectors 7 and the child protector's cover 8 provided with receptacles 8.2 for the child protectors 7.
  • the child protector 7 has its aperture 7.2 fitted with a spring 7.1, which bears against a tab 8.4 emerging from the cover 8 and present in the aperture 7.2.
  • the child protectors 7 operate on a conventional seesaw principle and are only able to move against the force of the spring 7.1 when the prongs of an electric plug function through the socket holes simultaneously and in a balanced fashion on the child protector's 7 inclined surfaces.
  • the vertical brackets 8.3 (4 pieces in total) guide the assembly work by penetrating into the body's 3 vertical channels 3.3.
  • the insulator 6 is provided with recesses 6.3 for the passage of the brackets 8.3.
  • Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate bosses 3.7 at the body's 3 gables to engage with the claws 8.7.
  • the insulator 6 and the cover 8 are also provided with holes for the passage of the housing section's 1 fastening screws 13, such that these screws can engage with the threads thereof in the bores of the body's 3 sleeves 3.6 (Fig. 12).
  • Screen-protected insulation can be provided also without a child protector by means of an insulating element corresponding to the cover 8 or substituting for the cover 8 and the insulator 6.
  • the insulator 6 and the child protector's cover 8 are of course provided with through-holes for the prongs of an electric plug and the cradle guards 9.1.
  • the child protector's cover 8 is provided with collar-like bosses 12, encircling the through-holes for the prongs of an electric plug and extending into the holes of the housing section 1.
  • the material used for the housing section 1 need not satisfy such electrotechnical standards which are required of a material in contact with or supporting live metal components. This also works in favour of the objective of the invention that various replaceable housing sections 1 can be used for creating diverse product variations, in which the interior 5 remains the same.
