Abstract

The device has a housing with leg pairs protruding from a housing base, where the leg pairs are arranged at a distance from each other. A U-shaped contact (24) and another U-shaped contact are inserted between the legs of each leg pair, where the leg pairs receive cylindrical fuses. Each U-shaped contact is formed by two contact legs (26, 27), where one of the contact legs has contact lugs (30, 31) that laterally protrude over the contact legs, and the contact lugs define a contact blade. Each contact has a base section (28) that overlies on the housing base. An independent claim is also included for a switching device comprising a cylindrical fuse receiving device.

Description

Schaltgeräte bestehen aus einem Gehäuse mit einer Mehrzahl von parallel zueinander angeordneten Kontaktabschnitten, z. B. Lyrakontakten, in welche beispielsweise NH-Sicherungen mit stirnseitigen Kontaktmessern eingelegt werden. Die Sicherungen sind vorzugsweise parallel zueinander an der Unterseite eines Deckels angeordnet, welcher verschwenkbar gegenüber dem die Kontaktabschnitte enthaltenden Gehäuse angelenkt ist. Durch Hochschwenken des Deckels werden hierbei die Sicherungen gegenüber den Kontaktabschnitten entfernt, und durch Schließen des Deckels werden die Sicherungen mit ihren Kontaktmessern in die Kontaktabschnitte des Gehäuses eingeführt ( DE 10 2006 022 374 A1 ). Anstelle einer direkten Befestigung der NH-Sicherungen an der Deckelunterseite können Aufnahmekäfige vorgesehen sein, in welche die Sicherungen eingesetzt sind ( DE 10 2008 016 648 A1 ). Bei einem derartigen Schaltgerät, insbesondere Lasttrennschalter, sind an der Deckelunterseite Vorrichtungen zur Aufnahme jeweils einer Aufnahmevorrichtung für Sicherungen vorgesehen, derart, dass die Sicherungen, in die jeweilige Vorrichtung eingeschoben, zusammen mit der Vorrichtung an der Unterseite des Deckels befestigt werden kann.Switchgear consist of a housing having a plurality of mutually parallel contact portions, for. B. Lyrakontakten, in which, for example, NH fuses are inserted with frontal contact blades. The fuses are preferably arranged parallel to each other on the underside of a lid, which is pivotably articulated relative to the housing containing the contact portions. By pivoting the lid in this case the fuses are removed from the contact portions, and by closing the lid, the fuses are introduced with their contact blades in the contact portions of the housing ( DE 10 2006 022 374 A1 ). Instead of a direct attachment of the NH fuses on the underside of the lid can be provided receiving cages in which the fuses are inserted ( DE 10 2008 016 648 A1 ). In such a switching device, in particular switch-disconnector, devices for receiving in each case a receiving device for fuses are provided on the underside of the cover, such that the fuses, inserted into the respective device, can be fastened together with the device on the underside of the lid.

Probleme ergeben sich, wenn anstelle von NH-Sicherungen mit Kontaktmessern zylindrische Sicherungen verwendet werden, die an ihren Stirnseiten kappenförmige Kontakte besitzen. Für derartige zylindrische Sicherungen ist ein Schaltgerät mit Kontaktabschnitten nach Art von Lyrakontakten nicht geeignet, stattdessen müssen die Gehäuse speziell auf den Einsatz von zylindrischen Sicherungen angepasste Kontaktabschnitte enthalten. Derartige zylindrische Sicherungen sind in den USA üblich und sind dort als Zylindersicherungen der Klasse J bekannt. Derartige zylindrische Sicherungen haben keine seitlich abstrebenden Kontaktmesser.Problems arise when instead of NH fuses with contact blades cylindrical fuses are used, which have cap-shaped contacts on their front sides. For such cylindrical fuses a switching device with contact portions on the type of Lyrakontakten is not suitable, instead, the housing must contain specially adapted to the use of cylindrical fuses contact sections. Such cylindrical fuses are common in the US and are known there as class J cylinder fuses. Such cylindrical fuses have no laterally abstrebenden contact blades.

Um den Einsatz von zylindrischen Sicherungen, insbesondere vom Typ J30 oder J60 in solchen Schaltgeräten zu ermöglichen, die grundsätzlich für so genannten NH-Sicherungen ausgelegt sind, werden Reduzierelemente bzw. Adapter vorgeschlagen, die aus einer metallenen zylindrischen Kappe bestehen, welche seitlich auf die Kontaktstücke von zylindrischen Sicherungen aufgeschoben werden können, wobei die zylindrischen Kappen aus zwei Schenkeln mit einer Basis und einem von der Basis abstehenden Kontaktmesser gebildet sind. Zwischen der Kappe und den Schenkeln wird eine Verlötung oder Verschweißung vorgenommen. Derartige Reduzierstücke oder Adapter ermöglichen zwar grundsätzlich den Einsatz von zylindrischen Sicherungen in Schaltgeräten für NH-Sicherungen, d.h. Schaltgeräten mit Lyrakontakten, jedoch müssen diese Adapter jeweils seitlich von Hand auf die Sicherungen aufgesteckt werden, bevor sie zusammen mit der Sicherung in die Lyrakontakte eingeschoben werden können. Zudem muss sichergestellt sein, dass bei Verwendung dieser Adapter dieselben komplett seitlich auf die zylindrischen Sicherungen aufgeschoben worden sind. Diese Methode ist daher sehr umständlich.In order to enable the use of cylindrical fuses, in particular of the type J30 or J60 in such switching devices, which are generally designed for so-called NH fuses, reducing elements or adapters are proposed which consist of a metal cylindrical cap, which laterally on the contact pieces can be pushed by cylindrical fuses, wherein the cylindrical caps are formed of two legs with a base and a protruding from the base contact blade. A soldering or welding is done between the cap and the legs. Although such reducers or adapters allow in principle the use of cylindrical fuses in switching devices for NH fuses, i. Switchgear with Lyra contacts, however, these adapters must each be laterally attached by hand to the fuses before they can be inserted together with the fuse in the Lyrakontakte. It must also be ensured that, when using these adapters, they have been pushed completely sideways onto the cylindrical fuses. This method is therefore very cumbersome.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Sicherungen sowie ein Schaltgerät zu schaffen, mit welchen der Einsatz von zylindrischen Sicherungen der Klasse J bei Schaltgeräten möglich ist, die an sich für NH-Sicherungen ausgelegt sind.The invention has for its object to provide a device for receiving fuses and a switching device with which the use of cylindrical fuses class J is possible with switching devices that are designed for NH fuses.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme einer Sicherung, insbesondere zylindrischen Sicherung, mit einem Gehäuse, welches von einer Gehäusebasis abstehende und zueinander beabstandete Schenkelpaare aufweist, bei der zwischen die Schenkel eines jeden Schenkelpaares jeweils ein etwa U-förmiger Kontakt eingesetzt ist und die Schenkelpaare zur Aufnahme der Sicherung vorgesehen sind, bei der jeder etwa U-förmige Kontakt durch zwei Kontakt-Schenkel gebildet ist, von welchen mindestens einer der Kontakt-Schenkel mit einer Kontaktzunge versehen ist, die seitlich über die Kontakt-Schenkel hinaussteht.This object is achieved by a device for receiving a fuse, in particular cylindrical fuse, with a housing which has projecting from a housing base and spaced leg pairs, in which in each case an approximately U-shaped contact is inserted between the legs of each leg pair and the leg pairs are provided for receiving the fuse, in which each approximately U-shaped contact is formed by two contact legs, of which at least one of the contact Leg is provided with a contact tongue which protrudes laterally beyond the contact leg.

Die Erfindung schafft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von zylindrischen Sicherungen, insbesondere der Klasse J, speziell J30 und J60 (US-Standard), die im Gegensatz von NH-Sicherungen keine seitlich abstehenden Kontaktmesser beinhalten, sondern lediglich mit metallenen Kontakte bildenden Kappen versehen sind, aber durch den Einsatz der Vorrichtung mit Schaltgeräten mit Lyrakontakten als Kontaktaufnahmeabschnitte verwendet werden können. Durch den Einsatz der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann ein typisches Schaltgerät für NH-Sicherungen auch für zylindrische Sicherungen der Klasse J30 und J60 eingesetzt werden, ohne dass spezielle Umbaumaßnahmen oder anders gestaltete Schaltgeräte bereitgestellt werden müssen.The invention provides a device for accommodating cylindrical fuses, in particular class J, especially J30 and J60 (US standard), which, unlike NH fuses, do not include laterally extending contact blades, but are provided with metal-forming caps only can be used as a contact receiving sections through the use of the device with switching devices with Lyrakontakten. Through the use of the device according to the invention, a typical switching device for NH fuses can also be used for cylindrical fuses class J30 and J60, without special conversion measures or differently designed switching devices must be provided.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme einer zylindrischen Sicherung besteht aus einem Gehäuse, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, welches durch zwei zueinander beabstandete Schenkelpaare festgelegt ist, die durch eine Gehäusebasis miteinander verbunden sind, wobei in jedem Schenkelpaar ein etwa U-förmiger Kontakt aus Metall eingesetzt ist, welcher an einer seiner Stirnseiten zwei zueinander parallele Kontaktzungen aufweist, welche etwa die Form und Größe eines Kontaktmessers haben. Die U-förmigen Kontakte dienen zur Aufnahme der metallförmigen Kappen der zylindrischen Sicherung.The inventive device for receiving a cylindrical fuse consists of a housing, preferably made of plastic, which is fixed by two mutually spaced leg pairs, which are interconnected by a housing base, wherein in each pair of legs, an approximately U-shaped metal contact is used, which has two mutually parallel contact tongues on one of its end faces, which have approximately the shape and size of a contact blade. The U-shaped contacts serve to receive the metal caps of the cylindrical fuse.

Jedes mit den erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen ausgerüstete Schaltgerät besitzt einen Deckel, der gegenüber dem die Lyrakontakte aufnehmenden Gehäuse vorzugsweise verschwenkbar angeordnet ist. An der Deckelunterseite sind mehrere der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen zur Aufnahme einer entsprechenden Zahl von zylindrischen Sicherungen entfernbar angeordnet. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung, die mit stirnseitigen Kontaktmessern ausgerüstet ist, wird damit der Einsatz zylindrischer Sicherungen alternativ zu NH-Sicherungen bei einem derart gestalteten Schaltgerät ermöglicht.Each equipped with the devices according to the invention switching device has a lid, opposite to the Lyrakontakte receiving housing is preferably arranged pivotably.

Jede dieser Vorrichtungen 11, 12, 13 weist vorzugsweise an der zum Deckel 4 zugewandten Seite Nasen 20, 21 auf, die dazu dienen, die Vorrichtung 11, 12, 13 jeweils gegenüber dem Deckel 4 zu verrasten oder anderweitig zu befestigen. Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the underside of the lid 4. According to Fig. 2 are three devices 11, 12, 13 inserted into the lid 4. Each device 11, 12, 13 serves to receive a cylindrical fuse 15, preferably a cylinder fuse of class J or J30 and J60 (US standard). Such cylindrical fuses have frontally contact caps or contact heads 18, 19, as in Fig. 2 with respect to the fuse 15 is illustrated. Each of these devices 11, 12, 13 preferably has on the side facing the cover 4 lugs 20, 21, which serve to lock the device 11, 12, 13 in each case relative to the cover 4 or otherwise secure.

In jeder Vorrichtung 11, 12, 13 sind im Wesentlichen U-förmig gestaltete Kontakte 24, 25 vorgesehen, die derart ausgelegt sind, dass die zylindrische Sicherung 15 mit den Kontaktkappen 18, 19 in die Kontakte 24, 25 eingesetzt werden kann. Damit wird der elektrische Kontakt zwischen jeder Kontaktkappe 18 und dem Kontakt 24 bzw. der Kappe 19 und dem Kontakt 25 hergestellt.In each device 11, 12, 13 substantially U-shaped contacts 24, 25 are provided, which are designed such that the cylindrical fuse 15 can be used with the contact caps 18, 19 in the contacts 24, 25. Thus, the electrical contact between each contact cap 18 and the contact 24 and the cap 19 and the contact 25 is made.

Wie sich aus Fig. 3 ff. ergibt, weist jeder Kontakt 24, 25 im Wesentlichen die Form eines U auf. Jeder Kontakt 24, 25 beinhaltet zwei zueinander beabstandete Schenkel 26, 27, die über eine Basis 28 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Basis 28 vorzugsweise eben gestaltet ist. Die Schenkel 26, 27 bestehen aus einem Abschnitt 26a, 26b und 26c bzw. 27a, 27b, 27c. Bei dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform stehen die Abschnitte 26a, 27a nahezu senkrecht von der Basis 28 ab und gehen in einen geschwungenen Bereich 26b, 27b über, der auf den Radius bzw. Durchmesser der Kontaktkappen 18, 19 der einzusetzenden zylindrischen Sicherungen angepasst ist. An den Abschnitt 26b, 27b schließt sich ein weiterer, seitlich nach außen gebogener Abschnitt 26c, 27c an, der das Einführen der Sicherung in den Kontakt 24, 25 erleichtern soll. Jeder Schenkel 26, 27 ist mit einer Kontaktzunge 30, 31 versehen, die gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung aus zwei Abschnitten besteht, nämlich einem Abschnitt 30a und einem Abschnitt 30b bzw. 31a, 31b. Der Abschnitt 30a bzw. 31a ist gegenüber dem zugehörigen Schenkel 26 bzw. 27 um etwa 90° abgebogen, und an den Abschnitt 30a bzw. 31a schließt sich wieder unter Einhaltung eines Winkels von etwa 90° ein gerade verlaufender Abschnitt 30b bzw. 31b an. Die Abschnitte 30b, 31b verlaufen zueinander parallel und legen ein wie bei NH-Sicherungen übliches Kontaktmesser fest, welches allerdings aus zwei zueinander parallelen Abschnitten besteht, wie vorstehend erläutert ist.As it turned out Fig. 3 ff., Each contact 24, 25 essentially has the shape of a U. Each contact 24, 25 includes two spaced-apart legs 26, 27, which are interconnected via a base 28, wherein the base 28 is preferably designed flat. The legs 26, 27 consist of a portion 26a, 26b and 26c and 27a, 27b, 27c. In this preferred embodiment, the portions 26a, 27a are nearly perpendicular from the base 28 and go into a curved portion 26b, 27b, which is adapted to the radius or diameter of the contact caps 18, 19 of the cylindrical fuses to be inserted. The section 26b, 27b is followed by another, laterally outwardly bent portion 26c, 27c, which is to facilitate the insertion of the fuse in the contact 24, 25. Each leg 26, 27 is provided with a contact tongue 30, 31, which according to a preferred embodiment consists of two sections, namely a section 30a and a section 30b or 31a, 31b. The section 30a or 31a is bent relative to the associated leg 26 or 27 by about 90 °, and the section 30a or 31a is followed again by maintaining an angle of about 90 °, a straight section 30b and 31b. The sections 30b, 31b extend parallel to one another and define a contact blade which is customary as with NH fuses, but which consists of two mutually parallel sections, as explained above.

Die Kontaktmesser-Abschnitte 30b, 31b sind etwa mittig gegenüber bzw. zur Längsachse der einzusetzenden zylindrischen Sicherung ausgerichtet, wie sich der Darstellung nach Fig. 2 entnehmen lässt.The contact blade portions 30b, 31b are aligned approximately centrally opposite or to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical fuse to be used, as shown Fig. 2 can be removed.

Jeder Abschnitt 30b, 31b weist an vorbestimmten Positionen der zum gegenüberliegenden Abschnitt 31b, 30b weisenden Fläche Vorsprünge 34, 35 auf, die einerseits dazu dienen, die beiden Abschnitte 30b, 31b in einem vorbestimmten Abstand zueinander zu halten. Der Abstand zwischen den Außenflächen der Abschnitte 30b, 31b entspricht etwa der Stärke üblicher Kontaktmesser. Weiterhin dienen die Vorsprünge 34, 35 dazu, einen guten elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den Abschnitten 30b, 31b herzustellen. Die Vorsprünge 34', 35' des Abschnitts 31b sind gegenüber den Vorsprüngen 34, 35 gemäß Fig. 3 versetzt angeordnet, und die Auflageflächen auf dem Abschnitt 30b sind in Fig. 3 durch die Referenznummern 34', 35' angedeutet.Each section 30b, 31b has, at predetermined positions of the surface facing the opposite section 31b, 30b, projections 34, 35 which, on the one hand, serve to support the two Sections 30b, 31b to keep at a predetermined distance from each other. The distance between the outer surfaces of the sections 30b, 31b corresponds approximately to the strength of conventional contact blades. Furthermore, the projections 34, 35 serve to establish good electrical contact between the sections 30b, 31b. The projections 34 ', 35' of the portion 31b are opposite to the projections 34, 35 according to Fig. 3 arranged offset, and the bearing surfaces on the portion 30 b are in Fig. 3 indicated by the reference numbers 34 ', 35'.

Die Vorrichtung gemäß vorliegender Erfindung besteht vorzugsweise aus einem Kunststoff und weist eine zwei zueinander beabstandete Gehäuse-Schenkel 36, 37 verbindende Basis 40 auf. Die Gehäuse-Schenkel 36, 37 bestehen ähnlich den Kontakten 24, 25 aus einem von der Basis 40 nach oben abstehenden (Fig. 3), im Wesentlichen gerade verlaufenden Abschnitt 37a und einem sich daran anschließenden geschwungenen Abschnitt 37b. Entsprechendes gilt für den Schenkel 36. Die Schenkel 36, 37 sind demzufolge an die Form der Kontakte 24, 25 angepasst und bilden eine Isolierung bzw. einen Berührungsschutz nach außen im Verhältnis zu den Kontakten 24, 25. An den Stirnseiten der Vorrichtung 11 bzw. 12 bzw. 13 sind die Schenkel 36, 37 mit einer im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu den Schenkeln 36, 37 verlaufenden kurzen Wand 43 versehen, welche die Kontakte 24, 25 stirnseitig der Vorrichtung zumindest teilweise abschließt und eine Verlagerung der Kontakte 24, 25 über die Stirnseite der Vorrichtung hinaus verhindert.The device according to the present invention preferably consists of a plastic and has a base 40 connecting two housing legs 36, 37 which are spaced apart from one another. The housing legs 36, 37 are similar to the contacts 24, 25 from one of the base 40 upwardly projecting ( Fig. 3 ), substantially straight portion 37a and an adjoining curved portion 37b. The same applies to the leg 36. The legs 36, 37 are accordingly adapted to the shape of the contacts 24, 25 and form an insulation or a contact protection to the outside in relation to the contacts 24, 25. At the end faces of the device 11 and 12 and 13, the legs 36, 37 are provided with a substantially perpendicular to the legs 36, 37 extending short wall 43 which at least partially terminates the contacts 24, 25 of the device and a displacement of the contacts 24, 25 on the front side prevents the device addition.

Beim Einlegen einer zylindrischen Sicherung in die Kontakte 24, 25 werden deren Schenkel 26, 27 gespreizt, wobei die Schenkel durch die sie seitlich umfassenden Gehäuse-Schenkel 36, 37 umfasst und hinsichtlich ihrer Spreizung beschränkt sind. Die Gehäuse-Schenkel 36, 37 definieren eine vorgegebene Vorspannung gegenüber dem Schenkeln 26, 27, infolge dessen die Sicherung durch diese Vorspannung sicher innerhalb der Kontakte 24, 25 gehalten wird. Eine unkontrollierte Spreizung der Kontakte 24, 25, wird damit durch die Einfassung derselben durch die Gehäuse-Schenkel 36, 37 vermieden.When inserting a cylindrical fuse in the contacts 24, 25 whose legs 26, 27 are spread, wherein the legs by the laterally comprehensive housing leg 36, 37 and are limited in terms of their spreading. The housing legs 36, 37 define a predetermined bias against the legs 26, 27, as a result of which Secured by this bias safely within the contacts 24, 25 is held. An uncontrolled spreading of the contacts 24, 25 is thus avoided by the enclosure of the same by the housing legs 36, 37.

Zur Sicherung der metallenen Kontakte 24, 25 ist in der Basis 28 eine Lasche 42 definiert, die nach unten (in Fig. 3) abgebogen ist und in eine in der Basis 40 ausgebildete Einkerbung 44 eingreift.To secure the metal contacts 24, 25, a tab 42 is defined in the base 28, the down (in Fig. 3 ) is bent and engages in a formed in the base 40 notch 44.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung besteht aus einem Gehäuse und darin eingesetzten Kontakten 24, 25, die insgesamt eine breite schlitzförmige Öffnung festlegen, über welche die Sicherung 15 entsprechend Fig. 2 eingesetzt werden kann.The device according to the invention consists of a housing and contacts 24, 25 inserted therein, which define a total of a wide slot-shaped opening, via which the fuse 15 accordingly Fig. 2 can be used.

Die beiden Kontakte 24, 25 sind so weit voneinander beabstandet in die Vorrichtung 11 eingesetzt, dass eine satte Aufnahme der jeweiligen Sicherung gewährleistet ist und die Kappen 18, 29 in elektrischen Kontakt mit den Schenkeln 26, 27 verbracht werden.The two contacts 24, 25 are so far apart from each other inserted into the device 11, that a full reception of the respective fuse is ensured and the caps 18, 29 are brought into electrical contact with the legs 26, 27.

Die Abschnitte 30b, 31b jedes Kontaktes 24, 25 sind größenmäßig derart dimensioniert, dass sie, wie ausgeführt, den Kontaktmessern üblicher NH-Sicherungen entsprechen und in elektrischen Kontakt und in Eingriff mit Kontaktabschnitten bzw. Lyrakontakten gebracht werden können, wie dies in Verbindung mit Fig. 1 in Bezug auf das Gehäuseteil 1 beschrieben ist.Sections 30b, 31b of each contact 24, 25 are sized to conform to the contact blades of conventional NH fuses and can be brought into electrical contact and engagement with contact portions or lyre contacts, as discussed Fig. 1 described with respect to the housing part 1.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann entsprechend Fig. 5 jeder Kontakt 24, 25 mit einer Federklemme 46 versehen werden, die vorzugsweise auf die Kontaktabschnitte 26a, 27a aufgeschoben wird und dazu dient, den betreffenden Kontakt 24, 25 zu stabilisieren bzw. dessen Schenkel 26, 27 zusammenzuhalten. Die Federklemme 46 hat vorzugsweise U-förmige Gestaltung mit leicht nach außen umgebogenen Enden 46a, 46b zur Erleichterung des Aufschiebens auf die Außenflächen der Kontaktabschnitte 26a, 27a.According to a further embodiment of the device according to the invention can accordingly Fig. 5 Each contact 24, 25 are provided with a spring clip 46, which is preferably pushed onto the contact portions 26a, 27a and serves to stabilize the respective contact 24, 25 and to hold the legs 26, 27 together. The spring clip 46 preferably has U-shaped configuration with slightly outwardly bent ends 46a, 46b to facilitate pushing on the outer surfaces of the contact portions 26a, 27a.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung mit den Gehäuse-Schenkeln 36, 37 und den darin eingesetzten Kontakten 24, 25 stellt einen Adapter für zylindrische Sicherungen dar, in dem die bei den zylindrischen Sicherungen fehlenden Kontaktmesser durch die Abschnitte 30b, 31b gebildet werden und damit auch bei Verwendung zylindrischer Sicherungen typische Schaltgeräte mit Lyrakontakten eingesetzt werden können, die an sich zur Aufnahme von NH-Sicherungen ausgelegt sind, d.h. bei derartigen zylindrischen Sicherungen werden die seitlich nicht vorgesehenen Kontaktmesser durch die erfindungsgemäß gebildeten Kontakte ersetzt.The device according to the invention with the housing legs 36, 37 and the contacts 24, 25 inserted therein constitutes an adapter for cylindrical fuses, in which the missing in the cylindrical fuses contact blades are formed by the sections 30b, 31b and thus also in use cylindrical Fuses typical switching devices can be used with Lyra contacts, which are designed to accommodate NH fuses, ie in such cylindrical fuses, the laterally not provided contact blades are replaced by the inventively formed contacts.

Die in der Vorrichtung verwendeten Kontakte 24, 25 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Messing oder Kupfer. Die in den Kontakten 24, 25 in der Basis 28 ausgebildeten Laschen 42 werden durch Verstemmung in das Gehäuse bzw. in den Boden 40 getrieben und in eine dort vorgesehene Aussparung 44 eingerückt.The contacts 24, 25 used in the device are preferably made of brass or copper. The formed in the contacts 24, 25 in the base 28 tabs 42 are driven by caulking in the housing or in the bottom 40 and engaged in a recess 44 provided there.

Aus vorstehenden Ausführungen ergibt sich weiterhin, dass die als Kontaktmesser ausgebildeten Abschnitte 30b, 31b und die Verbindungsabschnitte 30a, 31a einteilig mit dem jeweiligen Kontakt 24, 25 ausgebildet sind. Die Abschnitte 30b, 31b stehen somit paarweise aus der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung heraus.It also follows from the foregoing that the sections 30b, 31b designed as contact blades and the connecting sections 30a, 31a are formed integrally with the respective contact 24, 25. The sections 30b, 31b are thus in pairs out of the device according to the invention.

Durch die Verdoppelung dieser Abschnitte 30b, 31b wird bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform eine Gesamtstärke von vorzugsweise ca. 2,4 mm erreicht, wobei die Materialstärke der Abschnitte 30b, 31b jeweils ca. 1,2 mm beträgt. Infolge der Vorsprünge 34, 35 an jedem der Abschnitte 30b, 31b, die vorzugsweise flächig gestaltet sind, ergibt sich ein Außenmaß der beiden Abschnitte 30b, 31b von insgesamt etwa 3,2 bis 3,4 mm, das einem typischen Maß für die Stärke eines Kontaktmessers entspricht. Die zugehörigen, in Fig. 1 angedeuteten Lyrakontakte haben ebenfalls eine Spaltbreite von zwischen 3,2 bis 3,4 mm gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform und werden, gegebenenfalls wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, durch Federn zusammengedrückt.By doubling these sections 30b, 31b, a total thickness of preferably approximately 2.4 mm is achieved in a preferred embodiment, wherein the material thickness of the sections 30b, 31b is approximately 1.2 mm in each case. Due to the protrusions 34, 35 on each of the sections 30b, 31b, which are preferably are flat, results in an outer dimension of the two sections 30b, 31b of a total of about 3.2 to 3.4 mm, which corresponds to a typical measure of the thickness of a contact blade. The associated, in Fig. 1 also indicated Lyrakontakte also have a gap width of between 3.2 to 3.4 mm according to a preferred embodiment and, optionally as in Fig. 1 indicated, compressed by springs.

Die Federklemme 46 gemäß Fig. 5 stellt, soweit sie verwendet wird, eine Fremdfederung dar, die über die Abschnitte 26a, 27a aufgesetzt wird. Die Abschnitte 26a, 27a haben bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform vorzugsweise einen Abstand zueinander, der kleiner ist als die Breite der Basis 28.The spring clip 46 according to Fig. 5 As far as it is used, it represents an external suspension which is placed over the sections 26a, 27a. The portions 26a, 27a in the illustrated embodiment are preferably spaced apart from each other by less than the width of the base 28.

Die Abschnitte 26a, 27a in Fig. 4 haben an ihrer unteren Seite im Bereich des Bodens 28 eine Begrenzung 48a, 48b zum während vom Boden 28 abgewandt durch die geschwungenen Abschnitte 26b, 27b eine seitliche Begrenzung gebildet wird, die eine Verschiebung der Federklemme 46 in einer Richtung parallel zu den Kontakt-Schenkeln 26, 27 verhindern. Nach dem Aufsetzen der Federklemme 46 auf den jeweiligen Kontakt wird sichergestellt, dass die Federklemme 46 weder in Richtung auf die Basis 28 noch gegenüber den Abschnitten 26b, 27b verrutschen kann.The sections 26a, 27a in Fig. 4 have on their lower side in the region of the bottom 28 a boundary 48 a, 48 b for facing away from the bottom 28 through the curved portions 26 b, 27 b a lateral boundary is formed, the displacement of the spring clip 46 in a direction parallel to the contact legs 26th , 27 prevent. After placing the spring clip 46 on the respective contact, it is ensured that the spring clip 46 can not slip either in the direction of the base 28 or against the sections 26b, 27b.

Durch den Einsatz der vorstehend beschriebenen Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Sicherungen vom Typ J30, J60 und gegebenenfalls auch J100 ist es möglich, Standardgehäuse mit Lyrakontakten gemäß Fig. 1 zu verwenden, die an sich für NH-Sicherungen mit Messerkontakten ausgelegt sind. Der durch die gebogenen Abschnitte 26b, 27b definierte Durchmesser im Ruhezustand der Kontakte 24, 25 (Fig. 4 und 5) ist vorzugsweise kleiner gehalten als der Außendurchmesser der Kappen 18, 19 der einzusetzenden zylindrischen Sicherungen 15. Nach dem Einsetzen einer solchen zylindrischen Sicherung 15 werden demzufolge die Schenkel 26, 27 gespreizt, infolgedessen auch der Abstand zwischen den Abschnitten 30b, 31b vergrößert wird. Dies kann durchaus beabsichtigt sein, weil dann beim Einsetzen der Vorrichtung in die Aufnahmekontaktabschnitte bzw. Lyrakontakte die Abschnitte 30b, 31b wieder zusammengedrückt werden und damit ein sehr guter elektrischer Kontakt gewährleistet ist.By using the above-described device for receiving fuses of the type J30, J60 and possibly also J100, it is possible standard housing with Lyrakontakten according to Fig. 1 which are in themselves designed for NH fuses with blade contacts. The diameter defined by the bent portions 26b, 27b in the resting state of the contacts 24, 25 (FIG. Fig. 4 and 5 ) is preferably kept smaller than the outer diameter of the caps 18, 19 of the cylindrical fuses 15 to be inserted such cylindrical fuse 15 consequently the legs 26, 27 are spread, as a result, the distance between the sections 30b, 31b is increased. This can certainly be intended, because then when inserting the device in the receiving contact portions or Lyrakontakte the sections 30b, 31b are compressed again and thus a very good electrical contact is ensured.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist stirnseitig jeweils ein flach angeformtes, kontaktmesserähnliches Kontaktstück auf, welches durch die etwa L-förmig zueinander verlaufenden Abschnitte 30a, 30b bzw. 31a, 31b festgelegt ist, wobei die Abschnitte 30b, 31b soweit auseinander stehen, insbesondere infolge der Vorsprünge 34, 35 bzw. 34', 35', dass beim Einsetzen der Vorrichtung in die gefederten Kontaktaufnahmeabschnitte bzw. Lyrakontakte im als Sicherungsunterteil dienenden Gehäuse 1 diese Abschnitte 30b, 31b wieder auf ein definiertes Maß zusammengedrückt werden und damit die erforderliche Kontaktkraft für die zylindrischen Sicherungen erzeugt wird.The device according to the invention has in each case a flat-shaped, contact-blade-like contact piece, which is defined by the approximately L-shaped mutually extending portions 30a, 30b and 31a, 31b, wherein the portions 30b, 31b are far apart, in particular due to the projections 34th , 35 and 34 ', 35' that when inserting the device in the spring-loaded contact receiving portions or Lyrakontakte serving as a fuse base housing 1, these sections 30b, 31b are compressed again to a defined extent and thus generates the required contact force for the cylindrical fuses becomes.

Die Kontaktmesser bildenden Abschnitte 30a, 30b, 31a, 31b sind einstückig und stirnseitig an den Schenkeln der Kontakte 24, 25 ausgebildet mit im Wesentlichen in Draufsicht T-förmiger Struktur.The contact blade forming portions 30a, 30b, 31a, 31b are formed integrally and frontally on the legs of the contacts 24, 25 having a substantially T-shaped top view.
