Definitions

  • the invention relates, in general, the safety of use of electrical equipment.
  • the invention relates to an electrical contact for connecting to a live electrical wire a pin capable of being inserted into this contact, this contact comprising two conductive blades shaped clamp and adapted to each to adopt an operational position in which the pin is inserted into the contact and wherein these blades have between them a relatively small spacing, and a home position in which these blades are spaced apart from each other to facilitate insertion or removal of the pin and in which the blades have between them a relatively large spacing.
  • a contact of this type is for example described in the patent application WO 96/13081 , which relates to a plug designed to oppose a relatively modest force to the insertion and voluntary extraction of a plug, but to oppose a significantly greater force to any inadvertent extraction of the plug.
  • This so-called "zero or reduced insertion force” feature is generally provided on relatively sophisticated outlets and / or outlets adapted to particular applications, and on which other features may be useful and valuable.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to propose a contact of the "zero insertion force" type. or reduced "whose structure is exploited to give this contact an increased level of security.
  • the contact of the invention is essentially characterized in that it comprises an electrical conductor operatively connected to the live electrical wire, which conductor being disposed so as to be distant from each of the blades in the home position of these blades, and to be in contact with at least one of the blades in the operational position of this blade.
  • the spindle stops being energized as soon as the pliers that form the contact is discarded for removal or insertion of the spindle, even if it, at the same time, touches one of the two conductive blades of the contact.
  • the electrical conductor comprises a spring blade disposed between the two conductive blades and for example made of bronze.
  • the conductive blades forming a clamp may advantageously comprise a common base which connects them and by which these blades are made integral with a base.
  • the conductive pliers forming clamp extend in a common mean direction and that these conductive blades are shaped to define together a receiving housing of the spindle which extends along an axis transverse to the common direction .
  • the electrical contact of the invention may also comprise one or more return springs requesting each of the conductive blades in the direction of the other conductive blade.
  • the invention relates to an electrical contact for connecting to an electric wire F a pin B that can be inserted in this contact ( Figures 5 to 9 ).
  • This contact comprises two conductive blades 11 and 12 which together form a clamp and which extend in a common mean direction X.
  • the conductive blades 11 and 12 may comprise a common base 10 which connects them mechanically and electrically, and by which these blades can be made integral with a base S.
  • the conductive blades 11 and 12 may be shaped to define together a housing 3 for receiving the pin B which extends along an axis Z transverse to the common direction X.
  • the conductive blades 11 and 12 are adapted to each adopt an operational position in which these blades resiliently enclose an electric pin B inserted between them ( Figures 5 and 6 ), a reception position in which these blades 11 and 12 are spaced from each other by a spacer E to facilitate the insertion or removal of the pin B ( Figures 3 and 4 ), and possibly a rest position in which these blades are applied against each other ( Figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the spring 4 may itself be constituted by a resilient clamp enclosing the conductive blades 11 and 12, the material constituting this spring 4 is not however required to have a high electrical conductivity.
  • the elastic blades 11 and 12 depending on whether they are in the rest position ( Figures 1 and 2 ), in operational position ( Figures 5, 6 and 9 ), or in the home position ( Figures 3, 4 , 7 and 8 ), are separated from each other by a zero distance, relatively small, or relatively large.
  • the contact of the invention comprises an electrical conductor 2 which, in operation, is connected to the electrical wire F under tension, and which is arranged so as to be distant from each of the blades 11 and 12 in the home position ( Figures 7 and 8 ), and to be in contact with one of these blades 11 and 12, or both, in operative position ( figure 9 ).
  • this intermediate conductor 2 for example takes the form of a spring strip 2 which is arranged between the two conductive strips 11 and 12.
  • This leaf spring 2 may advantageously be made of bronze so as to have a relatively high electrical conductivity and elastic stiffness, which makes it possible to reduce the contact resistance between this leaf spring 2 and the conductive blade with which it comes into contact .
  • pin B ceases to be energized as soon as the contact is in the home position, even if the pin then touches one of the conductive blades 11 and 12, for example due to an incorrect insertion of this pin B in the contact.
