Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ergonomic electrical connection assembly with a high level of security.
- This type of plug with two branches which is commonly used for lighting devices, has a volume as low as possible, especially for reasons of lightness, cost and space.
- Some of these jacks are designed to be able to engage in wall sockets arranged, for example behind a piece of furniture folded against the wall on which the socket is arranged.
- an electrical connection assembly comprising a plug comprising, in a conventional manner, a body made of electrically insulating material having two opposite main faces, a lower face in which two connection pins engage, an upper face. , two lateral faces and an electric cable connected to the upper part of one of the lateral faces, the two conductors of which are respectively connected to the two pins inside said body.
- This plug is dimensioned so that it can be plugged in particular, but not exclusively, into a socket having a body provided with a cavity having a bottom into which two female connection elements open and from which extends a pin ground connection.
- the two main faces of the body of the plug are separated from each other by a distance at most equal to twice the distance between the earth connection pin and the straight line connecting the female connection elements.
- the upper face of its body protrudes slightly beyond the aforesaid cavity so that the electric cable does not bend.
- this plug comprises two gripping wings which extend laterally, on either side of the longitudinal median plane of said body, these two flanges being pivotally mounted on said body between two positions, namely:
- the socket according to the invention may comprise temporary locking means such as, for example, latching means arranged between the body of the socket and the wings so as to ensure a temporary retention of the wings in the gripping position and / or in the safety position and / or possibly in folded position against the body, position in which the socket can be used as a conventional socket.
- temporary locking means such as, for example, latching means arranged between the body of the socket and the wings so as to ensure a temporary retention of the wings in the gripping position and / or in the safety position and / or possibly in folded position against the body, position in which the socket can be used as a conventional socket.
- the two wings may be coupled to one another by a mechanism such as, for example, a gear so that the tilting of one of the wings causes the tilting of the other wing.
- these two wings may be shaped so that in the gripping position, they abut against each other, thereby increasing their gripping ability for the insertion or extraction of the grip .
- Figures 1 and 2 are two schematic perspective views of a plug whose two gripping wings are secured to one another, Figure 1 showing the taken in the extracted position and Figure 2 showing the same taken in position plugged into a socket;
- Figures 3 and 4 are views similar to Figures 1 and 2 of a plug having two independent wings hinged about two respective transverse axes; _.
- Figures 5 and 6 are two views similar to Figures 3 and 4 of a plug having two independent wings hinged about two respective longitudinal axes;
- FIGs 7 and 8 are two perspective views of an alternative embodiment of the socket shown in Figures 5 and 6;
- Figures 9 and 10 show an alternative embodiment of the socket shown in Figures 5 and 6, wherein the two wings are hinged about a common longitudinal axis;
- FIGs 11 and 12 are perspective views of an alternative embodiment of the socket shown in Figures 9 and 10;
- Fig. 13 is a perspective view of a conventional type socket including a ground connection pin.
- the plugs shown in FIGS. 1 to 12 are low-power outlets mounted on two-wire wireless cables. These jacks are designed and dimensioned so that they can be plugged into sockets with a grounding pin such as, for example, those partially shown in Figures 1 to 6, and whose upper part is visible on the figure 13.
- This socket 1 comprises a cylindrical body 2 open on one side and closed on the other side by a bottom 3.
- the body 2 is extended by a radial collar 4 whose outer edge has a square shape. This border is itself extended by an axial flange 5 coming back (at right angles) towards the bottom. - -
- the bottom 3 comprises two orifices 6, 7 symmetrical with respect to the axis of the body 2 and a third orifice through which a ground connection pin 8 extends axially over part of the height of the body 2.
- This socket 1 is normally designed for male plugs with cylindrical body adapted to engage in the body cavity of the socket and which comprises two male pins adapted to engage in the orifices 6, 7 of the socket and a female connector in which engages the ground connection pin 8.
- the aforementioned security problems do not arise.
- the ergonomics problems are less acute because the plug is relatively bulky and protrudes outside the socket cavity when plugged into it, the protruding portion then serving as a grasping organ.
- the invention relates to a plug of dimensions as small as possible, this plug does not include a connection to the earth but is designed so as to be connected to a socket equipped with a connection pin to the earth, such as that shown in Figure 13.
- this plug 10 has a flat shape whose thickness is at most equal to twice the distance between the male pin 8 and the straight line connecting the axes of the two orifices 6, 7 of the socket 1.
- the length of this plug is, in turn, smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical cavity of the body 2 of the socket 1. Its height may be slightly greater than the depth of the cavity, so as to allow a radial departure of the cable electrical connector 11 connected to the socket 10. Nevertheless the invention is not limited to this provision: the electric cable could be connected obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the body so as to avoid the overlap of the son of two plugs plugged side by side.
- the plug 10 has a flat, substantially parallelepipedal shape, comprising two planar, main parallel faces 12, 13, a planar lower face 14 carrying the two pins 15, 16 of FIG. the socket and two curved lateral faces 17, 18 whose radius of curvature is slightly less than that of the cavity of the body 2 of the socket 1.
- the connection of the electric cable 11 to the socket 10 is effected at the level of the face 18 at a height slightly greater than the depth of the body cavity 2 of the socket 1.
- the upper face 19 of the socket 10 is flat, or slightly curved.
- the gripping and safety functions of the socket are provided by a slightly curved plate having a U-shape comprising two relatively wide wings 21, 22 connected to one another at one of their ends by a web 23.
- the distance separating the two wings 21, 22 is substantially equal to the thickness of the grip 10.
- This plate 20 is arranged so as to overlap the socket 10.
- the two wings 21, 22 which extend against the main faces 12, 13 over their entire length are hinged to the socket 10 about an axis perpendicular to the main faces, thanks to two journals 23 provided on the wings 21, 22 which engage in two respective holes made in the upper part of the median region of the lateral faces 12, 13.
- the wings 21, 22 can tilt simultaneously to pass from an extraction position and / or gripping position shown in FIG. 1, in which they extend obliquely or perpendicularly to the upper 19 and lower 14 faces, to a safety position where it extends parallel to said faces 19, 14 ( Figure 2).
- the wings 21, 22 at least partially cover the upper face of the socket 1, by closing the cavity. Access to the grounding pin 8 is then prohibited.
- An advantage of the solution described above is that, from the safety position, during the tilting of the wings 21, 22 to the extraction position (or gripping), under the effect of a traction performed at level of the core 23, the free edges of the wings 21, 22 bear on the upper face of the socket 1 by exerting a pulling force facilitating the extraction of the plug 10.
- the plug 30 is provided with two U-shaped plates 31, 32, similar to the previously described plate, but in which the flanges 33, 34 - 35, 36 have a length approximately equal to half that of taking 30.
- the two plates 31, 32 are folded against each other above the upper face 41.
- the two plates 31, 32 can be easily grasped between the fingers.
- the two plates 31, 32 are folded in a plane parallel to the upper 41 and lower 42 faces, so as to cover at least partially the upper face of the socket 1 by closing its cylindrical cavity.
- the position of the axes 37, 38 relative to the end of the wings 33, 34 - 35, 36 and / or the conformation of said ends are designed so that during the tilting of the plates 31, 32, the wings 33 , 34 - 35, 36 exert on the socket 1 a force generating by reaction a pulling force of the plug 30.
- the upper face of the body of the receptacle 50 comprises in its central part, two parallelepipedal lateral recesses 51, 52 separated from each other by a longitudinal central partition 53, of so that this upper face has substantially the shape of an H.
- the plug 50 comprises two lateral wings 54, 55 of substantially rectangular shape, slightly curved adapted to improve the grip.
- the wings 54, 55 can pass from a gripping position, in which they extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal median plane of symmetry ( Figure 5) to a safety position in which they extend substantially in the same plane parallel to the plane of the upper faces 53 and lower 60 of the socket 51: according to this embodiment, the wings 54, 55 are provided with notches between the protuberances 56, 57 - 58, 59.
- the wings 54, 55 (and / or the body) may be shaped so that they can occupy a folded position against the body, so as to use the plug as a standard socket.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 differs from that of FIGS. 5 and 6 in that the upper face 61 of the socket 62 is provided with two pairs of opposite parallelepiped cavities 63, 64 - 65, 66 defining a central partition 67 provided with two opposite central shoulders 68, 69, this assembly constituting substantially a spider.
- the two wings 70, 71 of substantially rectangular shape, each have, at the ends of one of their longitudinal edges, two protuberances 72, 73 - 72 ', 73' intended to engage in two parallelepiped cavities 63, 64 - 65, 66 located on the same side.
- These two protuberances 72, 73 - 72 ', 73' are articulated on the central shoulder 68, 69 which separates the two cavities, around a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the socket 62.
- the operation of these wings is substantially the same as that of the wings 54, 55 of the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the upper face 80 of the socket 81 comprises a transverse central cavity 82 which extends from one main face to the other between two end portions 85, 86.
- This socket 81 comprises two wings 87, 88 of substantially rectangular shape, one of the longitudinal edges is provided with a protrusion 89 constituting a half-hinge.
- the two wings 87, 88 are articulated by these half-hinges about a common longitudinal axis carried by the two end portions 85, 86.
- the two wings 87, 88 extend over the upper face 80 on either side of the longitudinal median plane of symmetry of the socket 80 forming a dihedron.
- they In the safety position, they extend in the same plane perpendicular to said plane of symmetry.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 differs from that of FIGS. 9 and 10 in that the two wings 90, 91 are hinged about two longitudinal axes 92, 93 parallel to the longitudinal median plane of the receptacle 94, the protuberances 95, 96 then forming hinges which extend over the entire length of the cavity 97.
- This solution allows in particular to obtain a firmer gripping position in which the two wings 90, 91 are applied against each other in said plane of symmetry.
- the wings in the folded position further provide protection of the socket against external elements such as, for example, splashing.
