Definitions
- This invention relates to a concealed and preferably leaktight electrical butt joint for prefabricated lengths of electrical ducting, in particular suspended or more generally “on sight” ducting, the joint being preassembled or capable of preassembly with one of the lengths.

- ribs 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 of support 3 form a stop which defines the depth to which saddle 19 can be inserted into the enclosure, which is equal to exactly half the longitudinal length of the saddle.
- rib 24 by engaging in channel 16, ensures precise transverse and axial positioning of saddle 19 relative to enclosure 2.
- Suitable openings 33, 34, 35, 36 and grooves 37, 38 are provided in plate 23 and when saddle 19 is inserted into two abutting enclosures they align with corresponding openings 17, 18 provided in the enclosures and allow the saddle to be attached to the enclosures by means of rivets if the saddle is preassembled with one of the enclosures or by means of a screw engaging the threaded insert provided bevelled in opening 18 in the case of in situ assembly.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a concealed and preferably leaktight electrical butt joint for prefabricated lengths of electrical ducting, in particular suspended or more generally "on sight" ducting, the joint being preassembled or capable of preassembly with one of the lengths.
- It is know that in public buildings, offices, shopping centres and the like electrical power is very often distributed by the means of suspended visible electrical ducting which can be configured according to various requirements and to which electrical connections can be made at any point along its length by means of electrical plugs inserted into the ducting.
- This ducting is constructed by connecting together prefabricated modular elements or lengths which must satisfy a plurality of requirements, such as system safety, simplicity and convenience of installation, a very important factor for suspended ducting, leaktight electrical components and, not last, compliance with aesthetic standards.
- These requirements must also be satisfied by the devices or joints which mechanically and electrically connect together the different prefabricated modular elements making up the system.
- Reconciling all these requirements generally requires the solution of a variety of problems which are only partly solved by the known art, satisfying some of the requirements to the detriment of others.
- For example
US 5,614,697 provides electrical ducting comprising prefabricated leaktight modular elements which are connected end to end by means of junction devices which ensure a leaktight connection but which are aesthetically unsatisfactory because they interrupt the continuity of the shape of the ducting with visible projecting parts. - In addition to this, installation of the joint is laborious because the joints cannot be preassembled with one length of ducting in the factory, but must be assembled in situ.
- The present invention overcomes these problems and provides an electrical butt joint which is leaktight, invisible, that is wholly contained and hidden within the ducting, and which can be preassembled with a ducting element, rendering the operation of joining lengths at the site of installation particularly simple and easy.
- In addition to this it has an extremely simple low cost structure which is easy to manufacture and which can be assembled with electrical modules and a single mechanical component to satisfy various application requirements.
- The invention is characterised by the claims and its advantages will be more apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of an electrical butt joint and a terminal portion of a length of electrical ducting to which the joint is intended to be connected, -
Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the electrical connector for the joint inFigure 1 , -
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the joint inFigure 1 preassembled with the end of a length of ducting. - With reference to
Figure 1 , before going into the specific detail of the modular interconnection system it is advisable to consider a preferred embodiment of the length of ducting to which the butt joint is intended to be connected. - Length of
ducting 1 essentially comprises arectilinear metal enclosure 2 of bent sheet or extruded light alloy forming a channel open beneath on the sides of which are housed two identical rectilinear supports 3 extruded from insulating plastics material. - According to the requirements of the
application enclosure 2 may house only one of the two supports. - In support 3, which has a transverse rectangular cross-section, there is formed a plurality of rectilinear parallel slots open on one side of the support, in each of which a conducting member is housed.
- In the preferred embodiment, illustrated in
Figure 1 , the slots are six in number and house four conducting bars having a T cross-section coextruded with the support (the material of which includes the butt end) for the distribution of a three phase voltage/current system and its neutral, as well as two conducting bars of circular cross-section for an auxiliary single-phase voltage. - The slots are hermetically sealed, except at their ends, by an insulating perforatable plastics sheet 4 welded or extruded over the entire surface of the support into which the slots open.
- As shown in the detail in
Figure 1 , in whichenclosure 2 is partly removed to show its interior, on the side of support 3 opposite that onto which the slots open and on the bottom and top surfaces of the support there arespacing ribs enclosure 2. -
Spacing ribs 5 and 9 also bring about snap connection of support 3 ontoenclosure 2, which is suitably shaped for the purpose. - In particular the
side walls enclosure 2 end at the bottom in an internallybent saddle
Incidentally the free extremities of the twosaddles - In turn the upper wall of the enclosure has a pair of
internal ribs channel 16. -
Rib 5 of supports 3 snap engages the sides ofribs - For a more detailed description of this ducting, which is not essential for the purposes of this invention, reference should be made to European patent application
EP06425836.1 filed on the 14/12/2006 - It is important to note here that spacer ribs 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, even if obtained by the process of extruding support 3, do not extend over the entire length of the support but, as illustrated in
Figure 1 , are interrupted as a result of partial removal therefrom by milling or cutting in the course of the production process to a convenient distance from the extremity ofenclosure 2. This applies to the other extremity, which is not illustrated. - In particular,
rib 5, which extends from the top surface of the support, is interrupted at a convenient distance L1, while the other ribs 6-9 are interrupted at a convenient distance L2 which is smaller than L1. - In this way the extremity portion of support 3 has no encumbrances outside its rectangular cross-section over a length of the enclosure equal to L2.
- It should also be noted that the extremities of supports 3 are not flush with the extremity of
enclosure 2, but are set further back from the latter by a convenient distance L3. - This is for reasons which will be more apparent below.
- Finally it will be noted that
ribs holes enclosure 2, obviously made in the course of the production process, for the insertion of fixing rivets or threaded inserts attached to the enclosure by calking, again in the course of the production process. - In its details
Figure 1 shows only one extremity of the length of ducting, but it is clear that the opposite extremity has the same appearance. - In point of fact the only difference may be that while one of
holes hole 18 inFigure 1 ) at one extremity, the threaded inserts are absent at the other extremity. - In order to connect lengths of ducting such as that described, in which only one of supports 3 may be present, together mechanically and electrically, a modular joint comprising a
saddle 19 obtained by cutting and bending metal sheet and at least one electrical connector 20 or, depending on user needs, a pair of identicalelectrical connectors 20, 21 are conveniently used. -
Saddle 19, having a profile which is symmetrical with respect to avertical axis 22, comprises arectangular plate 23 extending over a length equal to 2L1 (indicatively 300 mm) and a width (indicatively 79 mm) such that it can be inserted with some play intoenclosure 2, alongsideribs -
Plate 23 has arib 24 in the direction of its length which is inserted with minimal play intochannel 16 ofenclosure 2. - The plate extends laterally as two parallel side members, 25, 26 which are bent downwards and end in two
lips 27, 28 parallel toplate 23 and facing each other. - The length of the side members in the direction of
rib 24 is equal to 2L2 (indicatively 206 mm) and their size is such that they can be inserted withinenclosure 2 with some play without interfering with supports 3, with the lips located withinsaddles - Obviously ribs 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 of support 3 (or of the supports) form a stop which defines the depth to which
saddle 19 can be inserted into the enclosure, which is equal to exactly half the longitudinal length of the saddle. - In order to take up
vertical play lips 27, 28 are provided withprojections saddles enclosure 2,press plate 23 into contact withribs - For its part,
rib 24, by engaging inchannel 16, ensures precise transverse and axial positioning ofsaddle 19 relative toenclosure 2. -
Suitable openings grooves 37, 38 are provided inplate 23 and whensaddle 19 is inserted into two abutting enclosures they align withcorresponding openings - The purpose of this is to avoid having to have a riveter available at the point of installation, assembly being then effected using an ordinary screwdriver.
- Assembly is further simplified by partly prescreewing the screw into the threaded insert bevelled in
hole 18 to which groove 38 inplate 23 corresponds, so that the presence of the screw does not interfere with the insertion ofplate 23 into the enclosure. - In this way assembly is reduced to merely screwing up the screw.
- In order to connect
connectors 20, 21 tosaddle 19, the latter is further provided with appropriate openings collectively identified by thereference number 39 into which corresponding ribs projecting from the outer walls of the connectors are housed, these being also collectively identified by thereference number 40. - The connection between
openings 39 andribs 40 ensures that the connectors are accurately positioned on the inside ofside members saddle 19 is inserted into each of the two enclosures which have to be butt joined. -
Connectors 20, 21 are anchored insaddle 19 by two correspondingresilient tongues plate 23 by cutting and bending. - These tongues form a pair of teeth which make a snap connection with one edge of the connectors provided for the purpose with a
convenient recess 43, the teeth pressing the connectors in contact with the inside ofside members -
Connectors 20, 21 essentially comprise prismatic sleeves of insulating plastics material which whensaddle 19 is inserted into the ends of two lengths of ducting fit onto the ends of supports 3 housed therein. - Double metal clamps are provided within the connectors.
- The clamps, by penetrating the slots in the supports 3 without interfering with plastics sheet 4 which hermetically seals the slots clasp the extremities of the conducting bars housed therein between the clamps.
- For completeness of description
Figure 2 shows a preferred embodiment of these connectors in an exploded perspective view. - The connector in
Figure 2 comprises twoshells - In one of the shells, namely
shell 44, at the extremities of each of the twocoupling edges 46, 48, a pair ofteeth Figure 2 ). - The teeth project externally and form a snap connection with corresponding relatively
resilient eyes other shell 45. - Once the two shells have been snapped together, the overlapping edges are conveniently welded together by ultrasonic welding to form a leaktight joint.
- Close to the open extremities the two shells are provided internally with a
resilient seal - The internal transverse cross-section of the sleeve so formed is substantially identical to that of supports 3 (
Figure 1 ) so that the sleeve can be fitted onto the extremities of the two supports 3 which abut together and ensure a leaktight joint. - In order to assist insertion of the extremities of the support into the sleeve, the latter is provided with
fins Figure 1 ) which hermetically seals off the recesses in which the conducting bars are housed. - Within the two
shells reference numbers 60 and 61, which form a plurality of housings for double electrical contact clamps equal in number to the number of connecting bars which have to be connected, only one of which, 62, is shown correctly positioned in its housing for ease of drawing. -
Figure 2 again shows a preferred embodiment of the contact clamps, in an exploded view, these comprising acontact member 63 obtained by the double bending of a tin-coated or silver-coated copper plate, H shaped by die-cutting, and aleaf spring 64, also obtained by double bending an H-shaped spring steel (or stainless steel) plate. -
Spring 64, which is mounted so as to overlapcontact member 63, in the form of a saddle, exerts the necessary contact pressure on pair ofclamps contact member 63. - A simpler form of double contact clamp comprising a single contact member, in this case made of phosphor bronze and identified by
reference number 67, can be used to connect the auxiliary voltage conductors, which in general have to carry lesser currents of the order of a few amperes. - As an alternative multiple contact cage clamps may be used, with a possible steel compressing spring, once part of the insulating material of support 3 has been removed from the end of supports 3 by milling so as to expose the entire extremity of the auxiliary voltage conductors.
- In
Figure 2 the longitudinal extent (that is in the direction of insertion of supports 3) of dividingsepta 60 is equal to the dimension of teeth 61 in the same direction and equal to twice L3 (Figure 1 ). - This is to prevent interference with supports 3 when these are inserted into the connector.
- It is however obvious that in order to improve insulation between the conductors, in terms of surface resistance, dividing
septa 60 may be of greater length, always betweenresilient seals -
Figure 3 shows the joint described above preassembled in the factory with length ofducting 1, in perspective view. - It can be clearly seen that
metal saddle 19 is half inserted intometal enclosure 2 of the ducting and is attached thereto by rivets, one of which, 68, can be seen in the figure. - Sleeve connectors, one of which 21 can be seen in the figure, and each of which is fitted to half its length over the extremity of a corresponding support 3 for conducting bars, are correctly anchored within the saddle.
- It will not however be forgotten that the modular nature of the joint (and the lengths of ducting) makes it possible to provide for the presence of only one connector in the joint, located inside only one of the sides of the saddle.
- Preassembly of the joint with a length of ducting simplifies the work of in situ installation.
- As shown in
Figure 3 , the butt joint between two lengths ofducting saddle 19 to be inserted intosecond ducting 69. - When the operation is performed with
length 1 already fitted and suspended it is obvious that saddle 19 acts as a supporting saddle forlength 69 which has to be connected, and the operation is rendered easier. - Once insertion is complete,
length 69 may be attached tolength 1 with a screw passing throughgroove 37, which has been prescrewed in a threaded insert provided in the extremity ofenclosure 70 oflength 69. - The screw is tightened using an ordinary screwdriver inserted into
enclosure 70 through its bottom opening. - As an alternative, if this is considered more convenient, or at the same time, it is also possible to provide one or two threaded inserts, such as
insert 71 inFigure 3 , located onrib 24 ofsaddle 19 into which inserts tightening screws are inserted through openings 72 provided inenclosure 70, in this case screwed up from above, that is from the top of the enclosure. - It should be noted that attachment of the saddle to the two enclosures by means of screws or rivets ensures electrical continuity between the enclosures, so that these can be used as earth conductors.
- A preferred embodiment has been presented in the above description and the appended figures, but it is clear that many variants may be provided.
- For example,
saddle 19, instead of enclosingconnectors 20, 21 within it (Figure 1 ), a preferred solution because in this way the connectors are protected by the saddle during all the stages of preassembly, movement and installation of the joint, may be provided for mounting connectors externally to its sides. - In this
case saddle 19, instead of havinglips 27 and 28 opposite each other, may be provided with divergent wings ending in lips which engage saddles 12, 13 of the enclosure and at the sametime support connectors 20, 21. - Also, if the requirement for a leaktight electrical connection is not required and supports 3 of the conducting bars have no insulating plastics sheet 4, the two
shells 44, 45 (Figure 2 ) which form the connectors may be withoutresilient seals teeth corresponding eyes - Thus different application requirements can be satisfied using the same basic modular structure with substantial savings in manufacturing processes and consumption materials.
