Abstract

The socket has a base (10) with two independent electrical terminal pairs respectively comprising electrical phase terminals (101, 103) and electrical neutral terminals (102, 104). Two pairs of socket contacts (101A-104A) of the terminals are positioned on two axes (X, Y2), where the axes form an acute angle between them. A cover defines a receiving shaft to receive an electrical plug. The shaft has a bottom including a pivoting part (200) provided with passage holes (211A, 211 B). The pivoting part pivots with respect to a fixed part of the cover so as to match the holes with the contacts.

Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE AUQUEL SE RAPPORTE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD TO WHICH THE INVENTION REFERS

La présente invention concerne une prise de courant.The present invention relates to a socket.

ARRIERE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUEBACKGROUND

Il existe deux manières différentes de raccorder électriquement une prise de courant à un réseau d'alimentation électrique.There are two different ways to electrically connect a power outlet to a power supply.

La première, la plus courante, consiste à alimenter en permanence en courant les bornes d'entrée de phase et de neutre de la prise de courant.The first, the most common, is to continuously supply power to the phase and neutral input terminals of the socket.

La seconde consiste à alimenter la borne d'entrée de phase de la prise de courant via un interrupteur pour que l'utilisateur puisse, s'il le souhaite, couper l'alimentation électrique de ladite prise de courant. Une telle prise de courant est couramment appelée « prise de courant commandée ».The second is to supply the phase input terminal of the socket via a switch so that the user can, if he wishes, cut off the power supply of said socket. Such an outlet is commonly referred to as a "controlled outlet".

Actuellement, au moment où l'installateur réalise l'installation électrique, il fige la configuration d'alimentation des prises de courant.Currently, at the moment when the installer carries out the electrical installation, it freezes the power supply configuration of the power outlets.

Par la suite, en fonction des souhaits de l'utilisateur, l'installateur doit de nouveau intervenir sur l'installation électrique réalisée pour modifier la configuration d'alimentation de l'une ou l'autre des prises de courant. Une telle opération est longue, coûteuse car elle nécessite des opérations de reprise telle que par exemple une opération de peinture. En outre elle peut s'avérer impossible à réaliser en fonction de l'emplacement de la prise de courant dont on doit modifier la configuration d'alimentation électrique.Subsequently, depending on the wishes of the user, the installer must again intervene on the electrical installation made to change the power configuration of one or the other of the sockets. Such an operation is long, expensive because it requires recovery operations such as for example a painting operation. In addition it may be impossible to achieve depending on the location of the socket whose power configuration must be changed.

Par ailleurs, on connaît du document FR 984 596 une prise de courant comportant, d'une part, un socle contenant deux couples de bornes électriquement indépendants, chaque couple comprenant une borne électrique de phase et une borne électrique de neutre reliées chacune à une alvéole de réception d'une broche de contact d'une fiche électrique, les deux paires d'alvéoles des deux couples de bornes étant positionnées sur deux axes, et, d'autre part, un enjoliveur formant un couvercle, pourvu de deux trous de passage, adapté à être pivoté par rapport au socle pour faire correspondre lesdits trous de passage avec l'une ou l'autre paire d'alvéoles située sur l'un ou l'autre desdits axes.Moreover, we know of the document FR 984 596 a socket comprising, on the one hand, a base containing two pairs of electrically independent terminals, each pair comprising an electrical phase terminal and an electrical neutral terminal, each connected to a receiving cell of a contact pin of an electrical plug, the two pairs of cells of the two pairs of terminals being positioned on two axes, and, secondly, a hubcap forming a cover, provided with two through holes, adapted to be pivoted relative to the base for matching said through holes with one or the other pair of cells located on one or the other of said axes.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Par rapport à l'état de la technique précité, la présente invention propose une nouvelle prise de courant dont on peut facilement modifier la configuration d'alimentation électrique sans toucher à l'installation électrique dans laquelle elle est insérée, et, dans laquelle, l'espace occupé dans le socle par les bornes de connexion est réduit.Compared to the state of the art, the present invention proposes a new socket whose power supply configuration can be easily modified without affecting the electrical installation in which it is inserted, and in which, space occupied in the base by the connection terminals is reduced.

Plus particulièrement, conformément à l'invention, il est proposé une prise de courant selon la revendication 1.More particularly, according to the invention, there is provided a socket according to claim 1.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses et non limitatives de la prise de courant selon l'invention sont énoncées dans les revendications 2 à 15.Other advantageous and non-limiting characteristics of the socket according to the invention are set forth in claims 2 to 15.

Selon une caractéristique essentielle de la prise de courant 1, le fond du boîtier isolant constituant le socle 10, loge deux couples de bornes électriquement indépendants (voir figures 2, 8, 15 et 18).According to an essential characteristic of the socket 1, the bottom of the insulating housing constituting the base 10, houses two pairs of electrically independent terminals (see figures 2 , 8 , 15 and 18 ).

Chaque couple de bornes comprend une borne électrique de phase 101 103 et une borne électrique de neutre 102 ;104. Chaque borne électrique de phase et de neutre est reliée à une alvéole 101A, 103A ;102A, 104A de réception d'une broche de contact d'une fiche électrique.Each pair of terminals comprises a phase electrical terminal 101 and an electrical neutral terminal 102; Each phase and neutral electrical terminal is connected to a cell 101A, 103A, 102A, 104A for receiving a contact pin of an electrical plug.

Ici, la borne de phase 101 du premier couple de bornes est destinée à être alimentée électriquement en permanence par un conducteur en provenance du réseau alors que la borne de phase 103 du deuxième couple de bornes est destinée à être reliée par un autre conducteur en provenance du réseau à un interrupteur de l'installation électrique de manière qu'un utilisateur puisse éventuellement couper son alimentation électrique.Here, the phase terminal 101 of the first pair of terminals is intended to be permanently electrically powered by a conductor coming from the network while the phase terminal 103 of the second pair of terminals is intended to be connected by another conductor from the network to a switch of the electrical installation so that a user can possibly cut off his power supply.

Chaque borne de neutre 102, 104 de chaque couple de bornes est destinée à être alimentée électriquement en permanence par un conducteur différent en provenance du réseau.Each neutral terminal 102, 104 of each pair of terminals is intended to be electrically powered permanently by a different driver from the network.

De manière classique, les alvéoles 101A, 102A, 103A, 104A sont délimitées par des languettes métalliques 101 B, 102B, 103B, 104B pliées de façon à former des pinces aptes à serrer les broches d'une fiche électrique engagée dans ladite prise de courant 1.In a conventional manner, the cells 101A, 102A, 103A, 104A are delimited by metal tongues 101 B, 102B, 103B, 104B folded by to form clamps adapted to clamp the pins of an electrical plug engaged in said socket 1.

Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 8 et 18, les deux paires d'alvéoles 101A, 102A ;103A, 104A des deux couples de bornes sont placées sur deux axes X, Y2 formant un angle aigu entre eux.As shown more particularly by figures 8 and 18 the two pairs of cells 101A, 102A, 103A, 104A of the two pairs of terminals are placed on two axes X, Y2 forming an acute angle between them.

Ici, avantageusement, l'angle formé par lesdits axes X, Y2 est de l'ordre de 45 degrés.Here, advantageously, the angle formed by said X, Y2 axes is of the order of 45 degrees.

L'enjoliveur 20, réalisé par moulage d'une matière isolante, définit un puits de réception 11 d'une fiche électrique.The hubcap 20, made by molding an insulating material, defines a receiving well 11 of an electrical plug.

Comme le montrent les figures 2 et 5, l'enjoliveur 20 est encliqueté dans le boîtier isolant constituant le socle 10 pour fermer son ouverture avant. Il comprend une paroi cylindrique 21 qui délimite latéralement le puits de réception 11 d'axe X1. Le puits de réception 11 comporte un fond qui s'étend au-dessus des bornes électriques 101, 102, 103, 104 reliées auxdites alvéoles 101A, 102A, 103A, 104A de façon à les enfermer dans le fond du socle 10. De manière classique, le fond du puits de réception 11 comporte deux trous de passage 211A, 221A, 211B, 221 B d'axes parallèles à l'axe X1, destinés à être traversés par les deux broches d'une fiche électrique insérée dans ledit puits pour accéder auxdites alvéoles situées en dessous du fond du puits.As shown by figures 2 and 5 , the hubcap 20 is snapped into the insulating housing constituting the base 10 to close its front opening. It comprises a cylindrical wall 21 which laterally delimits the receiving well 11 of axis X1. The receiving well 11 has a bottom which extends above the electrical terminals 101, 102, 103, 104 connected to said cells 101A, 102A, 103A, 104A so as to enclose them in the bottom of the base 10. In a conventional manner , the bottom of the receiving well 11 has two holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221 B axes parallel to the axis X1, to be traversed by the two pins of a plug inserted into said well to access said cells located below the bottom of the well.

L'ouverture avant du puits de réception 11 est bordée par un rebord avant 21A tombant qui est adapté à venir se placer contre un bord avant 10A du socle 10 lorsque l'enjoliveur 20 est monté dans le socle 10.The front opening of the receiving well 11 is bordered by a falling front lip 21A which is adapted to be placed against a front edge 10A of the base 10 when the trim 20 is mounted in the base 10.

Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 5 et 7, l'encliquetage de l'enjoliveur 20 sur le socle 10 est ici réalisé à deux niveaux différents. Du côté de l'ouverture avant du puits de réception 11, la face externe de la paroi cylindrique 21 de l'enjoliveur 20, porte en saillie deux dents d'encliquetage 21 B diamétralement opposées adaptées à s'accrocher à deux dents 10B prévues en correspondance sur la face interne du socle 10. En dessous du fond du puits de réception 11, l'enjoliveur 20 comporte une jupe cylindrique 24 qui comprend sur sa face externe deux dents d'encliquetage 26 diamétralement opposées adaptées à s'accrocher sur le bord de deux ouvertures 10C prévues en correspondance dans la paroi du socle 10.As shown more particularly by figures 5 and 7 , the clipping of the trim 20 on the base 10 is here made at two different levels. On the side of the front opening of the receiving well 11, the external face of the cylindrical wall 21 of the trim 20, projects two diametrically opposite locking teeth 21 B adapted to hook onto two teeth 10B provided in FIG. Corresponding on the inner face of the base 10. Below the bottom of the receiving well 11, the hubcap 20 comprises a cylindrical skirt 24 which comprises on its outer face two diametrically opposed snap teeth 26 adapted to catch on the edge two openings 10C provided in correspondence in the wall of the base 10.

Selon une autre caractéristique essentielle de la prise de courant 1, le fond du puits de réception 11 de l'enjoliveur 20 comporte au moins une partie 200 pourvue des deux trous de passage 211A, 221A, 211 B, 221 B, qui est adaptée à être pivotée autour de l'axe X1 du puits de réception 11 par rapport à une partie fixe dudit enjoliveur 20 pour faire correspondre lesdits trous de passage 211A, 221A, 211 B, 221 B avec l'une ou l'autre paire d'alvéoles 101A, 102A ;103A, 104A située sur l'un ou l'autre desdits axes X, Y2 (voir les figures 1, 8, 14, 18).According to another essential characteristic of the socket 1, the bottom of the receiving well 11 of the hubcap 20 comprises at least one part 200 provided with the two through holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B, which is adapted to be pivoted about the axis X1 of the receiving well 11 relative to a fixed portion of said trim 20 to match said through holes 211A , 221A, 211B, 221B with either pair of cells 101A, 102A, 103A, 104A located on either of said X, Y2 axes (see FIGS. figures 1 , 8 , 14 , 18 ).

Selon l'exemple représenté, cette partie 200 pivotante est rapportée sur ladite partie fixe de l'enjoliveur 20. Elle est encliquetée sur ladite jupe cylindrique 24 de l'enjoliveur 20 située en dessous dudit fond. Avantageusement, l'encliquetage, réalisé entre ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond du puits de réception 11 et ladite jupe cylindrique 24 de l'enjoliveur 20, forme des moyens de glissière pour le pivotement de ladite partie 200 de fond.According to the example shown, this pivoting portion 200 is attached to said fixed portion of the hubcap 20. It is snapped onto said cylindrical skirt 24 of the hubcap 20 located below said bottom. Advantageously, the snap-in, made between said pivoting portion 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11 and said cylindrical skirt 24 of the trim 20, forms slide means for pivoting said bottom portion 200.

Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 2, 5, 10, 12, 15, 19 et 20, la partie 200 pivotante du fond du puits de réception 11 comprend un élément avant 210 comportant un disque avant 211 percé de deux trous de passage 211A, 211 B d'axes parallèles à l'axe X1 du puits de réception 11 et une jupe cylindrique 212 qui borde ledit disque avant 211. Elle comprend en outre un élément arrière 220 comportant un disque arrière 221 percé de deux trous de passage 221A, 221 B d'axes parallèles à l'axe X1 du puits de réception 11 et une jupe cylindrique 222 qui borde ledit disque arrière 221.As shown more particularly by figures 2 , 5 , 10 , 12 , 15 , 19 and 20 , the pivoting part 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11 comprises a front element 210 comprising a front disc 211 pierced with two through holes 211A, 211B axes parallel to the axis X1 of the receiving well 11 and a cylindrical skirt 212 which borders said disk before 211. It further comprises a rear element 220 comprising a rear disc 221 pierced with two holes 221A, 221 B of axes parallel to the axis X1 of the receiving well 11 and a cylindrical skirt 222 which borders said rear disc 221.

La jupe cylindrique 212 de l'élément avant 210 est engagée dans l'espace intérieur délimité par la jupe cylindrique 222 de l'élément arrière 220 de manière à former une cassette dont les trous de passage 211A, 211B du disque avant coïncident avec les trous de passage 221A, 221 B du disque arrière 221.The cylindrical skirt 212 of the front element 210 is engaged in the interior space delimited by the cylindrical skirt 222 of the rear element 220 so as to form a cassette whose through holes 211A, 211B of the front disc coincide with the holes passage 221A, 221 B of the rear disc 221.

Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 5, 6 et 7, la jupe cylindrique 222 de l'élément arrière 220 de ladite partie 200 pivotante, s'étend en dessous du fond du puits de réception 11 de l'enjoliveur 20 en regard de ladite jupe cylindrique 24. Elle comporte sur sa face externe tournée vers l'enjoliveur 20 une nervure 223 périphérique qui est encliquetée sur des dents 25 prévues en saillie sur la face interne de ladite jupe cylindrique 24. Cet encliquetage est réalisé de manière que ladite nervure 223 peut glisser sur lesdites dents 25 de l'enjoliveur 20 pour permettre le pivotement de ladite partie 200 de fond autour de l'axe X1 tout en restant dans le plan des disques avant 211 et arrière 222 de celle-ci (c'est-à-dire en évitant tout basculant de la cassette). Le pivotement de la cassette formée par ladite partie 200 est d'ailleurs guidé grâce à l'engagement de la partie d'extrémité libre 222A de la jupe cylindrique 222 dudit élément arrière 220 dans une rainure 27 prévue dans l'enjoliveur 20 en dessous du fond du puits de réception 11 (voir les figures 6 et 7).As shown more particularly by figures 5 , 6 and 7 , the cylindrical skirt 222 of the rear element 220 of said pivoting portion 200 extends below the bottom of the receiving well 11 of the trim 20 facing said cylindrical skirt 24. It has on its outer face turned towards the hubcap 20 a peripheral rib 223 which is snapped onto teeth 25 provided projecting on the internal face of said cylindrical skirt 24. This snap is produced so that said rib 223 can slide on said teeth 25 of the hubcap 20 for allow pivoting of said bottom portion 200 about the axis X1 while remaining in the plane of the discs 211 and rear 222 thereof (that is to say, avoiding any tilting of the cassette). The pivoting of the cassette formed by said part 200 is also guided by the commitment of the party free end 222A of the cylindrical skirt 222 of said rear element 220 in a groove 27 provided in the hubcap 20 below the bottom of the receiving well 11 (see FIG. Figures 6 and 7 ).

Comme le montrent les figures 2, 3, 6, 7 et 20, l'enjoliveur 20 comporte dans le fond du puits de réception 11 un trottoir circulaire 22 qui s'étend à niveau avec le disque avant 211 de l'élément avant 210 de ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond, ledit trottoir circulaire 22 et ledit élément avant 210 comprenant des formes complémentaires coopérant entre elles pour verrouiller en position ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond.As shown by figures 2 , 3 , 6, 7 and 20 , the hubcap 20 comprises in the bottom of the receiving well 11 a circular sidewalk 22 which extends level with the front disc 211 of the front element 210 of said pivoting part 200 of the bottom, said circular sidewalk 22 and said element before 210 comprising complementary shapes cooperating with each other to lock in position said pivoting part 200 of the bottom.

Selon l'exemple représenté sur les figures, lesdites formes complémentaires comprennent des tétons 23 qui font saillie du bord libre dudit trottoir circulaire 22 et des encoches 213 prévues à la jonction du disque avant 211 et de la jupe cylindrique 212 dudit élément avant 210. Les tétons 23 sont espacés deux à deux d'un secteur angulaire d'environ 45 degrés et lesdites encoches 213 sont en correspondance espacées deux à deux d'un secteur angulaire d'environ 45 degrés.According to the example shown in the figures, said complementary shapes comprise nipples 23 which project from the free edge of said circular sidewalk 22 and notches 213 provided at the junction of the front disk 211 and the cylindrical skirt 212 of said element before 210. Nipples 23 are spaced two by two from an angular sector of about 45 degrees and said notches 213 are in spaced pairs spaced apart by an angular sector of about 45 degrees.

Ces formes complémentaires servent de moyens d'indexation pour indexer la position de ladite partie 200 dans ses deux positions d'utilisation, à savoir, une première position dans laquelle ses trous de passage 211A, 211B, 221A, 221 B sont placés selon l'axe X, en regard des alvéoles 101A, 102A reliées aux bornes de phase 101 et de neutre 102 destinées à être alimentées en permanence électriquement (voir figures 1 et 8), et la deuxième position dans laquelle ses trous de passage 211A, 211B, 221A, 221B sont placés selon l'axe Y2, en regard des alvéoles 103A, 104A reliées aux bornes de phase 103 et de neutre 104 commandées par l'interrupteur (voir figures 14 et 18).These complementary forms serve as indexing means for indexing the position of said portion 200 in its two positions of use, namely, a first position in which its through holes 211A, 211B, 221A, 221B are placed according to the X axis, facing the cells 101A, 102A connected to the phase terminals 101 and neutral 102 to be permanently electrically powered (see figures 1 and 8 ), and the second position in which its through holes 211A, 211B, 221A, 221B are placed along the axis Y2, opposite the cells 103A, 104A connected to the phase and neutral terminals 104 and 103 controlled by the switch ( see figures 14 and 18 ).

Comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 9 à 13, l'élément arrière 220 de ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond du puits de réception 11 est fixe en translation axiale alors que, sous l'action d'une pression exercée sur l'élément avant 210 de ladite partie 200, celui-ci est adapté à être translaté axialement entre une position haute où ladite partie 200 pivotante est verrouillée sur l'enjoliveur 20 et une position basse où ladite partie 200 pivotante est libre de pivoter autour de l'axe X1 par rapport à l'enjoliveur 20.As shown more particularly by Figures 9 to 13 , the rear element 220 of said pivoting part 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11 is fixed in axial translation whereas, under the action of a pressure exerted on the front element 210 of said part 200, the latter is adapted to be translated axially between an upper position where said pivoting portion 200 is locked on the hubcap 20 and a low position where said pivoting portion 200 is free to pivot about the axis X1 relative to the hubcap 20.

La face avant du disque avant 211 de l'élément avant 210 comporte en son centre un renfoncement 211C en forme de fente dans laquelle peut être introduite la pointe d'un outil tel qu'un tournevis. Avec ce tournevis, l'installateur peut exercer une pression sur l'élément avant 210 pour l'abaisser par rapport audit trottoir périphérique 22 fixe de l'enjoliveur 20 d'une distance e d'environ 0,65 millimètre. Il libère ainsi les encoches 213 de l'élément avant 210 de leur coopération avec les tétons 23 du trottoir périphérique 22 de façon à pouvoir faire tourner ledit élément avant 210 autour de l'axe X1 du puits de réception 11.The front face of the front disc 211 of the front element 210 has in its center a recess 211C in the form of a slot in which can be introduced the tip of a tool such as a screwdriver. With this screwdriver, the installer can exert pressure on the front member 210 to lower it relative to said peripheral sidewalk 22 fixed hubcap 20 with a distance e of about 0.65 millimeter. It thus releases the notches 213 of the front element 210 from their cooperation with the pins 23 of the peripheral sidewalk 22 so as to be able to rotate said front element 210 about the axis X1 of the receiving shaft 11.

Au surplus, il est prévu sur les éléments avant 210 et arrière 220 de ladite partie 200 pivotante, des formes mâles et femelles 214 adaptées à coopérer entre elles lorsque ledit élément avant 210 est en position basse, pour lier en rotation les deux éléments avant 210 et arrière 220 entre eux.In addition, it is provided on the front 210 and rear 220 elements of said pivoting portion 200, male and female shapes 214 adapted to cooperate with each other when said front member 210 is in the lower position, to link in rotation the two elements before 210. and back 220 between them.

Ici, lesdites formes mâles et femelles comprennent des saillies (non visibles sur les figures) à la jonction du disque arrière et de la jupe cylindrique de l'élément arrière 220 et des crans 214 sur le bord libre 212A de la jupe cylindrique 212 de l'élément avant 210 (voir figure 20).Here, said male and female forms comprise protrusions (not visible in the figures) at the junction of the rear disc and the cylindrical skirt of the rear element 220 and notches 214 on the free edge 212A of the cylindrical skirt 212 of the front element 210 (see figure 20 ).

Un élément élastique de rappel 400 (ici un ressort de compression) est interposé entre lesdits éléments avant 210 et arrière 220 de ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond du puits de réception 11 pour ramener automatiquement ledit élément avant 210 depuis la position basse en position haute lorsque la pression exercée sur lui cesse.An elastic return element 400 (here a compression spring) is interposed between said front 210 and rear 220 elements of said pivoting portion 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11 to automatically return said front member 210 from the low position to the high position when the pressure exerted on him ceases.

Par ailleurs, comme le montre par exemple la figure 2, ladite cassette formée par lesdits éléments avant 210 et arrière 220 loge un élément obturateur 300 pivotant, comportant deux volets d'obturation 303, 304 qui, en position de repos, s'interposent entre les trous de passage 211A, 221A, 211 B, 221 B en regard pour obturer le passage défini entre ceux-ci.Moreover, as shown for example by figure 2 , said cassette formed by said front and rear elements 220 220 houses a shutter member 300 pivoting, comprising two shutter flaps 303, 304 which, in the rest position, interpose between the through holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221 B facing to close the passage defined between them.

L'élément obturateur 300 est formé d'une seule pièce par moulage d'une matière plastique.The shutter member 300 is formed in one piece by molding a plastic material.

Il comprend, de manière classique, une partie centrale 301 percée d'une ouverture circulaire 302 formant un palier monté à rotation libre sur un tourillon 224 porté par la face avant (tournée vers le disque avant 211) du disque arrière 221 de l'élément arrière de ladite partie 200.It comprises, in a conventional manner, a central portion 301 pierced with a circular opening 302 forming a bearing mounted for free rotation on a pin 224 carried by the front face (facing the front disk 211) of the rear disc 221 of the element back of said portion 200.

De manière connue, les volets d'obturation 303, 304 comprennent sur leur face avant, qui apparaît au travers des trous de passage 211A, 211B du disque avant 211 de l'élément avant 210 de ladite partie 200 de fond pivotante, des pentes inclinées dans des sens opposés de sorte que seul l'appui simultané de deux broches d'une fiche électrique introduites au travers desdits trous de passage 211A, 211B, provoque la rotation dudit élément obturateur 300. Cette rotation des volets permet de libérer le passage défini entre les trous de passage 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B des disques avant 211 et arrière 221 de ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond du puits de réception 11 pour que les broches traversent également les trous de passage 221A, 221 B du disque arrière et atteignent les alvéoles reliées aux bornes électriques concernées de la prise de courant 1, situées en dessous du fond du puits de réception 11.In known manner, the shutters 303, 304 comprise on their front face, which appears through the through holes 211A, 211B of the front disc 211 of the front element 210 of said pivoting bottom portion 200, slopes inclined in opposite directions so that only simultaneous support two pins of an electrical plug inserted through said through holes 211A, 211B, causes the rotation of said shutter member 300. This rotation of the flaps makes it possible to release the passage defined between the through holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B. front discs 211 and rear 221 of said pivoting part 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11 so that the pins also pass through the holes 221A, 221 B of the rear disc and reach the cells connected to the electrical terminals concerned of the socket 1 located below the bottom of the receiving well 11.

Il est bien entendu prévu un élément élastique de rappel (non représenté) qui rappel en permanence ledit élément obturateur 300 dans sa position de repos.It is of course provided an elastic return member (not shown) which constantly reminder said shutter member 300 in its rest position.

Cet élément obturateur 300 est un dispositif de sécurité bien connu qui évite qu'un enfant ou un usager atteigne les parties électriques de la prise de courant 1 en introduisant une pointe au travers d'un seul trou de passage du fond du puits de réception de la prise de courant.This shutter element 300 is a well-known safety device that prevents a child or a user from reaching the electrical parts of the socket 1 by introducing a point through a single hole through which the bottom of the receiving well passes. the socket.

Avantageusement, comme le montrent les figures 4, 13, 16 et 21, il est prévu sur l'élément obturateur 300 et ledit élément avant 210 de ladite partie 200 pivotante des formes mâles et femelles 215, 305 adaptées à coopérer entre elles lorsque ledit élément avant 210 est en position basse, pour bloquer en position de repos ledit élément obturateur 300 dans la cassette.Advantageously, as shown by figures 4 , 13 , 16 and 21 it is provided on the shutter element 300 and said front element 210 of said pivoting part 200 of the male and female forms 215, 305 adapted to cooperate with each other when said front element 210 is in the low position, to lock in said rest position. shutter member 300 in the cassette.

Selon l'exemple représenté, lesdites formes mâles et femelles comprennent des nervures 215 sur la face arrière du disque avant 211 dudit élément avant 210 et des crans ou des rainures 305 sur l'élément obturateur 300.According to the example shown, said male and female forms comprise ribs 215 on the rear face of the front disk 211 of said front element 210 and notches or grooves 305 on the shutter element 300.

Ainsi, avantageusement lors du pivotement ou de la rotation de ladite cassette, l'élément obturateur 300 est bloqué avec ses volets 303, 304 en position d'obturation ce qui empêche notamment de transformer la configuration d'alimentation électrique de la prise de courant 1 avec une fiche insérée dans ladite prise.Thus, advantageously during the pivoting or rotation of said cassette, the shutter element 300 is blocked with its shutters 303, 304 in the closed position, which notably prevents the power supply configuration from being converted into a power outlet 1 with a plug inserted in said socket.

Enfin, comme le montrent les figures 5, 8 et 18 par exemple, le socle 10 contient une seule borne de terre 105 reliée par un conducteur électrique 106 souple à une broche de contact électrique 107 portée par ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond de l'enjoliveur 20. La broche de contact électrique 107 qui émerge à l'intérieur du puits de réception 11 de l'enjoliveur 20, comprend une queue 107A qui fait saillie de la face arrière de ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond et qui est reliée audit conducteur électrique. Plus particulièrement, comme le montre la figure 5, la queue 107A est emmanchée dans une cheminée 225 appartenant à l'élément arrière 220 de ladite partie 200 pivotante.Finally, as shown by figures 5 , 8 and 18 for example, the base 10 contains a single earth terminal 105 connected by a flexible electrical conductor 106 to an electrical contact pin 107 carried by said pivoting portion 200 of the bottom of the hubcap 20. The electrical contact pin 107 which emerges at the inside of the receiving well 11 of the hubcap 20, comprises a tail 107A which projects from the rear face of said pivoting part 200 of the bottom and which is connected to said electrical conductor. In particular, as shown in figure 5 , the tail 107A is fitted into a chimney 225 belonging to the rear element 220 of said pivoting part 200.

Nous allons maintenant décrire comment l'installateur peut simplement modifier la configuration d'alimentation électrique de la prise de courant 1 décrite ci-dessus alors que celle-ci est raccordée à un réseau d'alimentation électrique.We will now describe how the installer can simply change the power supply configuration of the socket 1 described above while it is connected to a power supply network.

Sur les figures 1 et 8, la prise de courant 1 est agencée dans sa première configuration électrique selon laquelle les trous de passages 211A, 221A, 211 B, 221 B de la partie 200 pivotante du fond du puits de réception 11 sont placés selon l'axe X en regard des alvéoles 101A, 102A associées aux bornes de phase 101 et de neutre 102 alimentées en permanence par deux conducteurs provenant du réseau d'alimentation électrique.On the figures 1 and 8 , the socket 1 is arranged in its first electrical configuration in which the passage holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B of the pivoting portion 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11 are placed along the X axis opposite the cells 101A, 102A associated with phase terminals 101 and neutral 102 permanently supplied by two conductors from the power supply network.

Dans cette configuration électrique, l'élément avant 210 de ladite partie 200 pivotante est verrouillée en position haute sur le trottoir périphérique 22 de l'enjoliveur 20 grâce à la coopération des encoches 213 et des tétons 23 (voir figure 3). Les nervures 215 portées par la face arrière du disque avant 211 de cet élément avant 210 sont placées à une distance d d'environ 0,85 millimètre des crans 305 correspondants de l'élément obturateur 300 de sorte que celui-ci est libre de tourner dans la cassette formée par ladite partie 200 pivotante (voir figure 4). Enfin, la broche de terre 107 qui émerge dans le puits de réception 11 est placée sur un axe Z0 perpendiculaire à l'axe X d'alignement desdits trous de passage 211 A, 221A, 211 B, 221 B.In this electrical configuration, the front element 210 of said pivoting part 200 is locked in the upper position on the peripheral sidewalk 22 of the hubcap 20 by virtue of the cooperation of the notches 213 and the nipples 23 (see FIG. figure 3 ). The ribs 215 carried by the rear face of the front disk 211 of this front element 210 are placed at a distance d of about 0.85 millimeters from the corresponding notches 305 of the shutter element 300 so that it is free to rotate. in the cassette formed by said pivoting part 200 (see figure 4 ). Finally, the earth pin 107 which emerges in the receiving well 11 is placed on an axis Z0 perpendicular to the alignment axis X of said through holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B.

Pour modifier la configuration électrique de la prise de courant 1, l'installateur insère la pointe d'un outil dans le renfoncement 211C en forme de fente, prévu sur la face avant du disque avant 211 de l'élément avant 210 de ladite partie 200 pivotante, pour abaisser ledit élément avant 210 d'une distance e d'environ 0,65 millimètre et libérer les encoches 213 de cet élément de leur coopération avec les tétons 23 du trottoir périphérique 22 de l'enjoliveur 20 (voir figures 9 à 13).To change the electrical configuration of the socket 1, the installer inserts the tip of a tool in the slot-shaped recess 211C provided on the front face of the front disc 211 of the front element 210 of said part 200 pivoting, to lower said front member 210 by a distance e of about 0.65 millimeters and release the notches 213 of this element from their cooperation with the pins 23 of the peripheral sidewalk 22 of the hubcap 20 (see Figures 9 to 13 ).

L'abaissement de l'élément avant 210 provoque la compression du ressort 400 dans la cassette et la coopération des encoches 214 prévues sur le bord libre 212A de la jupe cylindrique 212 dudit élément avant 210 avec les saillies correspondantes prévues sur l'élément arrière 220 pour solidariser en rotation les deux éléments avant 210 et arrière 220 de ladite partie pivotante. L'abaissement de l'élément avant 210 permet également de bloquer en rotation l'élément obturateur 300 sur celui-ci par la coopération des nervures 215 avec les crans ou rainures 215 dudit élément obturateur 300.Lowering the front member 210 causes compression of the spring 400 in the cassette and cooperation of the notches 214 provided on the free edge 212A of the cylindrical skirt 212 of said front member 210 with the corresponding projections provided on the rear member 220 for securing in rotation the two elements 210 and rear 220 of said pivoting portion. lowering of the front element 210 also makes it possible to block the shutter member 300 in rotation on the latter by the cooperation of the ribs 215 with the notches or grooves 215 of said shutter element 300.

Ainsi, l'élément avant 210 étant abaissé, l'installateur, tout en maintenant la pression exercée sur l'élément avant 210, peut faire pivoter ladite partie 200 du fond du puits d'un angle A2 égal à 45 degrés de façon à placer lesdits trous de passages 211A, 221A, 211B, 221 B selon l'axe Y2 en regard des alvéoles 103A, 104A associées aux bornes de phase 103 et de neutre 104 commandées par un interrupteur (voir figures 14 et 18).Thus, the front element 210 being lowered, the installer, while maintaining the pressure exerted on the front element 210, can rotate said part 200 of the bottom of the well by an angle A2 equal to 45 degrees so as to place said passage holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B along the axis Y2 opposite the cells 103A, 104A associated with the phase and neutral terminals 104 and 103 controlled by a switch (see figures 14 and 18 ).

L'installateur relâche alors la pression exercée sur l'élément avant 210. Le ressort 400 se détend et pousse l'élément avant 210 vers sa position haute dans laquelle ses encoches 213 coopèrent avec les tétons 23 du trottoir périphérique 22 de l'enjoliveur 20 pour verrouiller dans cette configuration électrique ladite partie 200 pivotante du fond du puits de réception 11 sur l'enjoliveur (voir figure 17). Les nervures 215 portées par la face arrière du disque avant 211 de cet élément avant 210 sont ainsi de nouveau écartées d'une distance d d'environ 0,85 millimètre des crans 305 correspondants de l'élément obturateur 300 de sorte que celui-ci est libre de tourner dans la cassette formée par ladite partie 200 pivotante (voir figure 16). Enfin, la broche de terre 107 qui émerge dans le puits de réception 11 est placée sur un axe Z2 perpendiculaire à l'axe Y2 d'alignement desdits trous de passage 211A, 221A, 211 B, 221 B (voir figures 14 et 18).The installer then releases the pressure exerted on the front element 210. The spring 400 relaxes and pushes the front element 210 towards its high position in which its notches 213 cooperate with the nipples 23 of the peripheral sidewalk 22 of the hubcap 20 to lock in said electrical configuration said pivoting portion 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11 on the hubcap (see figure 17 ). The ribs 215 carried by the rear face of the front disk 211 of this front element 210 are thus separated again by a distance d of about 0.85 millimeters from the corresponding notches 305 of the shutter element 300 so that the latter is free to rotate in the cassette formed by said pivoting part 200 (see figure 16 ). Finally, the ground pin 107 which emerges in the receiving well 11 is placed on an axis Z2 perpendicular to the axis Y2 of alignment of said through holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B (see FIG. figures 14 and 18 ).

Sur les figures 9 à 13, on a représenté une position intermédiaire de ladite partie 200 pivotante en cours de pivotement entre sa première position qui correspond à la première configuration électrique de la prise de courant 1 et sa deuxième position qui correspond à la deuxième configuration électrique de la prise de courant 1. La figure 13 montre que, dans cette position intermédiaire, la broche de terre 107 qui émerge dans le puits de réception 11 est placée sur un axe Z1 perpendiculaire à l'axe Y1 d'alignement desdits trous de passage 211A, 221A, 211 B, 221 B. Cet axe Z1 est écarté d'un angle A1 d'environ 22 degrés de l'axe Z0 correspondant à la position de départ. Ainsi, lors du pivotement de ladite partie 200 du fond du puits de réception 11, la broche de terre 107, entraînée par l'élément arrière 220 qui pivote, navigue elle aussi sur un secteur angulaire de 45 degrés entre sa position selon l'axe Z0 et sa position selon l'axe Z2. Ceci est rendu possible par le fait que le conducteur électrique 106 qui la relie à la borne de terre 105 est souple et se courbe élastiquement.On the Figures 9 to 13 , there is shown an intermediate position of said pivoting part 200 being pivoted between its first position corresponding to the first electrical configuration of the socket 1 and its second position corresponding to the second electrical configuration of the socket 1 . The figure 13 shows that, in this intermediate position, the earth pin 107 which emerges in the receiving well 11 is placed on an axis Z1 perpendicular to the axis Y1 of alignment of said through holes 211A, 221A, 211B, 221B. This axis Z1 is spaced at an angle A1 of about 22 degrees from the axis Z0 corresponding to the starting position. Thus, during the pivoting of said portion 200 of the bottom of the receiving well 11, the earth pin 107, driven by the rear element 220 which pivots, also navigates on an angular sector of 45 degrees between its position along the axis Z0 and its position along the Z2 axis. this is made possible by the fact that the electrical conductor 106 which connects it to the earth terminal 105 is flexible and elastically bends.
