Description

La présente invention concerne de manière générale les prises électriques.The present invention relates generally to electrical outlets.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement une prise électrique conforme au préambule de la revendication 1.It relates more particularly to an electrical outlet according to the preamble of claim 1.

L'invention permet en particulier la réalisation de prise électrique au standard « shuko », également connu sous la référence CEE 7/4, comprenant un volet de protection mobile.In particular, the invention makes it possible to make an electrical socket with the "shuko" standard, also known under the reference CEE 7/4, comprising a movable protection flap.

ARRIÈRE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUETECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

On connaît déjà, notamment du document DE3731588 , une telle prise électrique dans laquelle il est prévu des montants latéraux fixes en saillie de la face interne de la paroi du puits, pour le guidage de la fiche électrique destinée à être insérée dans le puits. Le volet comporte alors des encoches autorisant son déplacement le long de ces montants latéraux, entre une position d'actionnement dans laquelle la connexion d'une fiche dans la prise est autorisée et une position d'attente dans laquelle le volet ferme l'accès au puits.We already know, especially the document DE3731588 such an electrical socket in which there are provided fixed side uprights projecting from the inner face of the wall of the well, for guiding the electrical plug to be inserted into the well. The shutter then has notches allowing its movement along these lateral uprights, between an actuating position in which the connection of a plug in the socket is authorized and a waiting position in which the shutter closes the access to the well.

Dans ce document, les montants latéraux sont disposés de telle sorte que leurs extrémités avant se trouvent en retrait du bord avant du puits, conformément aux normes en vigueur.In this document, the lateral uprights are arranged in such a way that their front ends are set back from the front edge of the well, in accordance with the standards in force.

Ainsi, du fait de cette disposition des montants latéraux, lorsque le volet se trouve dans sa position d'attente à proximité du bord avant du puits, les encoches de ce volet dans lesquelles glissent les montants latéraux du puits restent ouvertes.Thus, because of this arrangement of the lateral uprights, when the flap is in its waiting position near the front edge of the well, the notches of the flap in which slide the lateral uprights of the well remain open.

Une telle prise présente alors l'inconvénient que son volet ne permet pas une obturation complète de la face avant de la prise.Such a plug then has the disadvantage that its flap does not allow complete closure of the front face of the socket.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Afin de remédier à cet inconvénient de l'état de la technique, l'invention propose un nouveau type de prise électrique dans lequel la face avant de la prise est obturée de manière plus complète par le volet en position d'attente.In order to overcome this drawback of the state of the art, the invention proposes a new type of electrical socket in which the front face of the socket is closed more completely by the shutter in the waiting position.

Plus particulièrement, selon l'invention, la prise électrique est conforme à la revendication 1.More particularly, according to the invention, the electrical socket is in accordance with claim 1.

Les montants latéraux sont alors entraînés vers l'avant lorsque le volet prend sa position d'attente, de sorte que leurs extrémités viennent fermer les encoches du volet.The lateral uprights are then driven forward when the flap takes its standby position, so that their ends come close the shutter notches.

Lorsque le volet est repoussé vers sa position de retrait, son mouvement entraîne un recul des montants latéraux, de sorte que leurs extrémités s'étendent en retrait du bord du puits dans cette position, conformément aux normes en vigueur.When the flap is pushed back towards its retracted position, its movement causes the lateral uprights to recoil, so that their ends extend set back from the edge of the well in this position, in accordance with the standards in force.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses et non limitatives de la prise électrique selon l'invention sont énoncées dans les revendications 2 à 20.Other advantageous and non-limiting characteristics of the electrical socket according to the invention are set forth in claims 2 to 20.

Les éléments similaires des différents modes de réalisation seront désignés par les mêmes références et ne seront pas décrits à chaque fois.The similar elements of the various embodiments will be designated by the same references and will not be described each time.

On a représenté sur les figures 1, 3 à 8 et 11 à 18, une prise électrique 700 comportant un puits adapté à recevoir une fiche électrique complémentaire pour le raccordement de cette fiche électrique à un réseau électrique.We have shown on figures 1 , 3 to 8 and 11 to 18 , an electrical outlet 700 having a well adapted to receive a complementary electrical plug for connecting this electrical plug to an electrical network.

La prise électrique 700 est ici adaptée à être logée dans une boîte encastrée ou rapportée en saillie sur une paroi quelconque (non représentée). En variante, il peut s'agir d'une prise électrique du type rallonge ou d'un bloc multiprises. Le principe de l'invention décrit ici n'est alors pas modifié.Electrical socket 700 is here adapted to be housed in a recessed box or reported projecting on any wall (not shown). Alternatively, it may be an outlet type extension or a power strip. The principle of the invention described here is not modified.

Comme le montrent les figures 1, 3 à 8, 11, 12, 14 à 16 et 18, les différents éléments internes de la prise électrique 700 sont logés dans un socle 100. Ce socle 100 est réalisé en matière isolante, par exemple par moulage d'une matière plastique.As shown by figures 1 , 3 to 8 , 11 , 12 , 14 to 16 and 18 , the various internal elements of the socket 700 are housed in a base 100. This base 100 is made of insulating material, for example by molding a plastic material.

Le socle 100 présente une forme globalement parallélépipédique (figures 1, 3 à 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 et 18). Ce socle 100 est ouvert en face avant. Il comporte un fond 111 bordé d'une paroi latérale 112 présentant quatre pans deux à deux opposés qui s'élèvent à partir du fond 111, sensiblement perpendiculairement à celle-ci (voir notamment figures 4 et 7).The base 100 has a generally parallelepipedal shape ( figures 1 , 3 to 8 , 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 16 and 18 ). This base 100 is open on the front face. It comprises a bottom 111 bordered by a side wall 112 having four opposite two-sided panels which rise from the bottom 111, substantially perpendicular thereto (see in particular figures 4 and 7 ).

Un épaulement 121 (figures 1, 4, 7, 11, 12, 15 et 16) de la paroi latérale 112 induit un élargissement de la section du socle 100.A shoulder 121 ( figures 1 , 4 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 15 and 16 ) of the side wall 112 induces an enlargement of the section of the base 100.

Cet épaulement 121 est situé à la frontière entre une partie arrière 110 et une partie avant 120 du socle 100.This shoulder 121 is located at the boundary between a rear portion 110 and a front portion 120 of the base 100.

Une plaquette 200 isolante (figures 1, 4 et 7, non représentée sur les figures 11 à 18) repose sur l'épaulement 121 de manière à former un fond intermédiaire du socle 100 et à fermer vers l'avant la partie arrière 110 du socle 100.An insulating wafer 200 ( figures 1 , 4 and 7 , not shown on Figures 11 to 18 ) rests on the shoulder 121 so as to form an intermediate bottom of the base 100 and to close forward the rear portion 110 of the base 100.

Cette plaquette 200 comporte une partie plane 201 rectangulaire qui s'étend sensiblement parallèlement au fond 111 du socle 100. Elle comporte à chacun de ses angles un crochet anti-arrachement 204 dont une portion s'étend perpendiculairement à ladite partie plane 201 de la plaquette 200 et coopère à retenue avec la paroi latérale 112 du socle 100 pour empêcher tout déplacement vers l'avant de la plaquette 200.This wafer 200 comprises a rectangular flat portion 201 which extends substantially parallel to the bottom 111 of the base 100. It comprises at each of its corners an anti-tearing hook 204, a portion extending perpendicularly to said flat portion 201 of the wafer 200 and cooperates with retaining the side wall 112 of the base 100 to prevent forward movement of the wafer 200.

La plaquette 200 reposant par ailleurs sur l'épaulement 121, tout mouvement de cette plaquette vers l'arrière est bloqué.The plate 200 resting on the shoulder 121, any movement of this plate back is blocked.

Comme le montrent les figures 1, 3 à 8 et 11 à 18, la partie avant 120 du socle 100 comporte des moyens de montage de ce socle dans un support de mécanisme d'appareillage électrique (non représenté). Ce support se présente typiquement sous la forme d'un cadre comportant une ouverture centrale à travers laquelle passe le socle 100.As shown by figures 1 , 3 to 8 and 11 to 18 , the front portion 120 of the base 100 comprises means for mounting the base in a gear mechanism mechanism (not shown). This support is typically in the form of a frame having a central opening through which the base 100 passes.

Plus précisément, le socle 100 comporte un trottoir 123 longeant le bord de l'ouverture avant du socle 100 et des moyens d'encliquetage 125 ménagés dans sa paroi latérale 112 (figures 1, 3 à 8 et 11 à 18).More specifically, the base 100 includes a sidewalk 123 along the edge of the front opening of the base 100 and latching means 125 formed in its side wall 112 (FIG. figures 1 , 3 to 8 and 11 to 18 ).

Lorsque le trottoir 123 vient s'appuyer sur une face avant du support, les moyens d'encliquetage 125 s'accrochent à l'arrière du support.When the sidewalk 123 comes to rest on a front face of the support, the latching means 125 cling to the rear of the support.

Le support peut ensuite être appliqué contre la paroi sur laquelle la prise électrique 100 est destinée à être montée.The support can then be applied against the wall on which the electrical outlet 100 is intended to be mounted.

Le socle 100 loge dans sa partie arrière 110 des éléments de contact électrique permettant de connecter la fiche électrique insérée dans la prise électrique au réseau électrique.The base 100 houses in its rear portion 110 electrical contact elements for connecting the electrical plug inserted in the electrical outlet to the power grid.

Ces éléments de contact électrique comprennent trois bornes de connexion (non représentées).These electrical contact elements comprise three connection terminals (not shown).

Il est prévu une borne de connexion de phase et une borne de connexion de neutre comportant chacune une lame métallique formant un alvéole de réception et connectée électriquement à un conducteur électrique du réseau électrique acheminant le courant de phase ou de neutre .There is provided a phase connection terminal and a neutral connection terminal each having a metal plate forming a receiving cell and electrically connected to an electrical conductor of the electrical network carrying the phase or neutral current.

Les alvéoles de réception des bornes de phase ou de neutre sont situés en regard de deux ouvertures circulaires 202 de la plaquette 200 et sont adaptés à recevoir les broches de phase ou de neutre de la fiche électrique correspondante.The receiving cells of the phase or neutral terminals are located facing two circular openings 202 of the wafer 200 and are adapted to receive the phase or neutral pins of the corresponding electrical plug.

Lorsque la fiche est insérée dans la prise électrique 700, les broches de cette fiche traversent ainsi les ouvertures circulaires 202 latérales de la plaquette 200 et pénètrent dans les alvéoles de réception des bornes de connexion de phase et de neutre.When the plug is inserted into the electrical outlet 700, the pins of this plug thus pass through the circular openings 202 of the side plate 200 and penetrate into the receiving cells of the connection terminals of phase and neutral.

Il est également prévu une borne de connexion connectée électriquement à un conducteur électrique du réseau électrique relié à la terre.There is also provided a connection terminal electrically connected to an electrical conductor of the electrical network connected to the earth.

Cette borne de connexion comporte ici une lame métallique repliée en U formant une lyre 210, représentée sur la figure 3.This connection terminal here comprises a U-shaped metal blade forming a lyre 210, shown in FIG. figure 3 .

Cette lyre 210 comporte deux branches latérales 211 s'étendant le long de la paroi latérale 112 du socle 100, dans la partie avant 120 de ce socle 100, et une branche centrale (non visible sur les figures) qui relie les branches latérales 211.This lyre 210 has two lateral branches 211 extending along the side wall 112 of the base 100, in the front portion 120 of this base 100, and a central branch (not visible in the figures) which connects the lateral branches 211.

Les branches latérales 211 de la lyre 210 présentent des propriétés élastiques. Leurs formes incurvées (figure 3) vers l'intérieur du puits de la prise électrique fait qu'elles appuient contre des zones de contact complémentaires de la fiche électrique lorsque celle-ci est insérée dans la prise.The lateral branches 211 of the lyre 210 have elastic properties. Their curved shapes ( figure 3 ) towards the inside of the electrical outlet socket, they press against complementary contact areas of the electrical plug when it is inserted into the socket.

La partie avant 120 du socle 100 de la prise électrique 700 loge une paroi cylindrique 400 délimitant le puits d'accueil de la fiche électrique complémentaire (figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 à 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 et 18).The front portion 120 of the base 100 of the electrical outlet 700 houses a cylindrical wall 400 delimiting the receiving well of the complementary electrical plug ( figures 1 , 2 , 4, 5 , 7 to 10 , 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 16 and 18 ).

Cette paroi cylindrique 400 est montée sur la paroi latérale 112 du socle 100 (figures 1, 4, 7, 14 et 18).This cylindrical wall 400 is mounted on the side wall 112 of the base 100 ( figures 1 , 4 , 7 , 14 and 18 ).

Elle comporte notamment, pour son accrochage sur le socle 100, en saillie de sa face externe 403 (figures 1, 2, 10, 11, 14, 15 et 18), au moins deux dents d'accrochage 402 diamétralement opposées qui son reçues dans des logements complémentaires de la paroi latérale 112 du socle 100.It includes in particular, for its attachment on the base 100, projecting from its outer face 403 ( figures 1 , 2 , 10 , 11 , 14 , 15 and 18 ), at least two diametrically opposite hooking teeth 402 received in complementary housings of the side wall 112 of the base 100.

Le bord avant 404 (figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17 et 18) de la paroi cylindrique 400 forme un rebord en saillie de la paroi cylindrique, vers l'extérieur du puits. Ce rebord prend appui sur le bord avant de la partie avant 120 du socle 100.The front edge 404 ( figures 1 , 2 , 4, 5 , 7 , 8, 10 , 11 , 13, 14 , 15 , 17 and 18 ) of the cylindrical wall 400 forms a flange projecting from the cylindrical wall, outwardly of the well. This flange is supported on the front edge of the front portion 120 of the base 100.

La paroi cylindrique 400 accueille deux montants latéraux 410 prévus face à face, s'étendant en saillie d'une face interne 401 de cette paroi cylindrique 400 parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal X de celle-ci (figures 1 à 9 et 11 à 18).The cylindrical wall 400 accommodates two lateral uprights 410 provided face to face, projecting from an inner face 401 of this cylindrical wall 400 parallel to the longitudinal axis X thereof ( Figures 1 to 9 and 11 to 18 ).

Les montants latéraux 410 sont diamétralement opposés dans le puits de la prise électrique 700 et sont adaptés à guider le coulissement de la fiche électrique complémentaire dans la prise électrique lors de son insertion.The lateral uprights 410 are diametrically opposed in the well of the electrical outlet 700 and are adapted to guide the sliding of the complementary electrical plug into the electrical outlet during its insertion.

En variante on peut prévoir un nombre quelconque de montants latéraux.Alternatively, any number of side posts can be provided.

La face interne 401 de la paroi cylindrique 400 comporte ici par ailleurs deux rainures 405 (figures 1, 2, 10, 11 et 15) au travers desquelles les branches latérales 211 de la lyre 210 font saillie à l'intérieur du puits de la prise électrique 700. Ces deux rainures 405 sont diamétralement opposées et sont situées selon un diamètre orienté à 90 degrés par rapport au diamètre selon lequel les montants latéraux sont alignés.The inner face 401 of the cylindrical wall 400 here also comprises two grooves 405 ( figures 1 , 2 , 10 , 11 and 15 ) through which the lateral branches 211 of the lyre 210 project into the well of the electrical outlet 700. These two grooves 405 are diametrically opposed and are located in a diameter oriented at 90 degrees with respect to the diameter in which the lateral uprights are aligned.

Un volet 600 (figures 1, 2, 3 à 9 et 11 à 18) obturant la section du puits est monté mobile en translation par rapport à ladite paroi cylindrique 400 le long de l'axe longitudinal X de celle-ci, entre deux positions extrêmes.A shutter 600 ( figures 1 , 2 , 3 to 9 and 11 to 18 ) closing the section of the well is mounted movable in translation relative to said cylindrical wall 400 along the longitudinal axis X thereof, between two extreme positions.

Ce volet 600 comporte une paroi principale 601 de contour globalement circulaire. Le contour de la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 comporte en effet deux découpes 603 diamétralement opposées pour le passage des branches latérales 211 de la lyre 210 ainsi que des encoches 606A à angle droit adaptées au passage des montants latéraux 410 lors de la translation du volet 600 (figures 1, 2, 9, 11 et 15).This flap 600 comprises a main wall 601 of generally circular contour. The contour of the main wall 601 of the flap 600 comprises two diametrically opposed cuts 603 for the passage of the lateral branches 211 of the lyre 210 as well as notches 606A at right angles adapted to the passage of the lateral uprights 410 during the translation of the flap 600 ( figures 1 , 2 , 9 , 11 and 15 ).

La paroi principale 601 du volet 600 comporte également deux orifices circulaires 604 (figures 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 et 11 à 18) dont les dimensions et les positions sont adaptées au passage des broches de la fiche électrique complémentaire destinée à être insérée dans la prise électrique 700.The main wall 601 of the shutter 600 also comprises two circular orifices 604 ( figures 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 9 and 11 to 18 ) whose dimensions and positions are adapted to the passage of the pins of the complementary electrical plug to be inserted into the socket 700.

Selon le premier mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 10, la paroi principale 601 est partiellement entourée d'une paroi tombante 602 orientée vers l'arrière de la prise électrique 700 (figures 1, 2 et 9).According to the first embodiment shown on the Figures 1 to 10 , the main wall 601 is partially surrounded by a falling wall 602 facing towards the rear of the electrical socket 700 ( figures 1 , 2 and 9 ).

Cette paroi tombante 602 s'applique contre la face interne 401 de la paroi cylindrique 400 et guide la translation du volet 600 contre cette paroi cylindrique.This falling wall 602 is applied against the inner face 401 of the cylindrical wall 400 and guides the translation of the flap 600 against this cylindrical wall.

Dans les deuxième et troisième modes de réalisation représentés sur les figures 11 à 18, le volet 600 ne comporte pas de paroi tombante et c'est la tranche de la paroi principale 601 qui s'applique contre la face interne 401 de la paroi cylindrique 400 et guide la translation du volet 600 contre cette paroi cylindrique.In the second and third embodiments shown in the Figures 11 to 18 , the flap 600 does not have a falling wall and it is the edge of the main wall 601 which is applied against the inner face 401 of the cylindrical wall 400 and guides the translation of the flap 600 against this cylindrical wall.

Avantageusement, il est également prévu pour la protection des contacts électriques logés dans la prise électrique 700 un obturateur 510 logé dans une cassette 520 (figures 1, 11 et 15).Advantageously, it is also provided for the protection of the electrical contacts housed in the electrical socket 700 a shutter 510 housed in a cassette 520 ( figures 1 , 11 and 15 ).

L'obturateur 510 (non représenté sur les figures 11 et 15) et la cassette 520 (figures 1, 4, 7, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 et 18) sont rapportés à l'intérieur du socle 100, dans sa partie avant 120. Plus précisément, l'obturateur 510 et la cassette 520 sont montés à l'arrière du volet 600.The shutter 510 (not shown on the figures 11 and 15 ) and cassette 520 ( figures 1 , 4 , 7 , 11 , 12, 14 , 15 , 16 and 18 ) are reported inside the base 100, in its front portion 120. More specifically, the shutter 510 and the cassette 520 are mounted at the rear of the flap 600.

La cassette 520 présente une forme globalement parallélépipédique, avec un fond 522 parallèle à la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 à partir duquel s'élève une paroi latérale 523.The cassette 520 has a generally parallelepiped shape, with a bottom 522 parallel to the main wall 601 of the flap 600 from which a side wall 523 rises.

Des dents d'encliquetage 521 font saillie de la paroi latérale 523 de la cassette 520, vers l'extérieur de la cassette 520, et sont adaptées à coopérer avec des fenêtres d'accrochage 620 s'étendant à l'arrière du volet 600 pour accrocher la cassette 520 à l'arrière de ce volet 600.Snap teeth 521 protrude from the side wall 523 of the cassette 520, outwardly of the cassette 520, and are adapted to cooperate with latching windows 620 extending from the back of the flap 600 to hang the cassette 520 on the back of this shutter 600.

Le volet 600 et la cassette 520 sont donc solidaires en translation dans le puits de la prise électrique 700.The shutter 600 and the cassette 520 are thus integral in translation in the well of the electrical socket 700.

De manière générale, le fond 522 de cette cassette 520 est adapté à prendre appui en butée contre la plaquette 200 pour limiter l'amplitude de la translation du volet 600 vers l'arrière.In general, the bottom 522 of this cassette 520 is adapted to abut against the plate 200 to limit the amplitude of translation of the flap 600 rearwardly.

L'obturateur 510 est adapté à pivoter autour de l'axe longitudinal X de la paroi cylindrique 400 entre une position de fermeture des orifices circulaires 604 du volet 600 (figures 3 et 6) dans laquelle il interdit l'accès aux bornes de connexion de phase et de neutre, et une position d'ouverture desdits orifices circulaires 606 dans laquelle il autorise cet accès.The shutter 510 is adapted to pivot about the longitudinal axis X of the cylindrical wall 400 between a closed position of the circular orifices 604 of the shutter 600 ( figures 3 and 6 ) in which it prohibits access to the phase and neutral connection terminals, and an opening position of said circular holes 606 in which it allows this access.

Cet obturateur 510 se présente sous la forme d'une hélice montée pivotante dans la cassette 520, dont les pales comportent chacune un pan incliné 510A. Les broches de la fiche électrique insérée dans la prise électrique 700 peuvent glisser sur ces pans inclinés 510A pour faire pivoter l'obturateur 510.This shutter 510 is in the form of a helix pivotally mounted in the cassette 520, the blades each having an inclined section 510A. The pins of the electrical plug inserted in the electrical outlet 700 can slide on these inclined faces 510A to rotate the shutter 510.

L'obturateur 510 est rappelé en permanence vers sa position de fermeture par des moyens de rappel comportant ici un ressort de compression 530 interposé entre une partie latérale de l'obturateur 510 et la paroi latérale 523 de la cassette 520.The shutter 510 is permanently returned to its closed position by return means here comprising a compression spring 530 interposed between a lateral portion of the shutter 510 and the side wall 523 of the cassette 520.

Ce dispositif permet de renforcer la protection électrique de la prise électrique selon l'invention.This device reinforces the electrical protection of the electrical outlet according to the invention.

Les positions extrêmes du volet 600 sont représentées par exemples sur les figures 3 à 5 et 6 à 8, 12, 14, 16 et 18.The extreme positions of the flap 600 are represented for example on the Figures 3 to 5 and 6 to 8 , 12, 14 , 16 and 18 .

Dans l'une de ces positions extrêmes représentée sur les figures 3 à 5, appelée dans la suite position d'actionnement, le volet 600 s'étend en retrait du bord avant de la paroi cylindrique 400, en butée contre la plaquette 200 formant le fond intermédiaire du socle 100.In one of these extreme positions represented on the Figures 3 to 5 , called hereinafter actuation position, the flap 600 extends back from the front edge of the cylindrical wall 400, abutting against the wafer 200 forming the intermediate bottom of the base 100.

Dans cette position d'actionnement, les orifices circulaires 604 du volet 600 s'étendent à proximité des ouvertures circulaires 202 de la plaquette 200. Les broches de la fiche électrique qui traversent les orifices circulaires 604 du volet 600 s'insèrent alors comme expliqué précédemment dans les ouvertures circulaires 202 correspondantes de la plaquette 200 qui donnent accès aux bornes de connexion de phase et de neutre.In this actuating position, the circular orifices 604 of the shutter 600 extend near the circular openings 202 of the wafer 200. The pins of the electrical plug which pass through the circular orifices 604 of the shutter 600 then fit as previously explained. in the corresponding circular openings 202 of the wafer 200 which give access to the phase and neutral connection terminals.

Dans l'autre position extrême, représentée sur les figures 6 à 8 et 12, 14, 16 et 18, appelée dans la suite position d'attente, le volet 600 s'étend à proximité du bord avant 404 de ladite paroi cylindrique 400.In the other extreme position, represented on the Figures 6 to 8 and 12 , 14 , 16 and 18 , called in the following waiting position, the flap 600 extends near the front edge 404 of said cylindrical wall 400.

Plus précisément, dans la position d'attente, une face avant de la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 affleure le bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique ou dépasse légèrement vers l'avant de ce bord avant 404, comme représenté sur les figures 7, 8, 14 et 18.More specifically, in the standby position, a front face of the main wall 601 of the flap 600 is flush with the front edge 404 of the cylindrical wall or protrudes slightly towards the front of this front edge 404, as shown in FIGS. figures 7 , 8 , 14 and 18 .

Le bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique 400 accueille ici un anneau enjoliveur 130 (figures 3 à 8, non représenté sur les figures 11 à 18) qui s'applique sur ce bord avant 404. Dans sa position d'attente, la face avant de la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 s'étend alors dans le même plan que la face avant de cet anneau enjoliveur 130.The front edge 404 of the cylindrical wall 400 here accommodates a trim ring 130 ( Figures 3 to 8 , not shown on the Figures 11 to 18 ) which applies to this front edge 404. In its standby position, the front face of the main wall 601 of the flap 600 then extends in the same plane as the front face of this trim ring 130.

En variante, la paroi cylindrique et l'anneau enjoliveur peuvent être formés d'une seule pièce qui constitue alors l'enjoliveur de la prise électrique.Alternatively, the cylindrical wall and the trim ring may be formed in one piece which then constitutes the hubcap of the electrical outlet.

Dans cette position d'attente, le volet 600 obture la majeure partie de la section du puits délimitée par la paroi cylindrique 400 et limite ainsi l'accès aux éléments de contact électrique logés dans la prise électrique 700.In this waiting position, the shutter 600 closes most of the section of the well defined by the cylindrical wall 400 and thus limits access to the electrical contact elements housed in the electrical outlet 700.

De manière remarquable, lesdits montants latéraux 410 de la prise électrique selon l'invention sont montés mobiles en translation parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal X de la paroi cylindrique 400, sur cette paroi cylindrique 400, de manière à être déplacés conjointement avec le volet 600.Remarkably, said lateral uprights 410 of the electrical socket according to the invention are mounted mobile in translation parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the cylindrical wall 400, on this cylindrical wall 400, so as to be moved together with the flap 600 .

En pratique ici les montants latéraux sont agencés pour se déplacer conjointement avec le volet 600 uniquement sur une faible partie de la course de ce volet.In practice here the lateral uprights are arranged to move together with the flap 600 only on a small part of the stroke of this flap.

Plus précisément, chaque montant latéral 410 est mobile entre une position de retrait, dans laquelle son extrémité avant 411, orientée vers le bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique 400, s'étend en retrait de ce bord avant 404, et une position d'obturation, dans laquelle son extrémité avant 411 s'étend dans le plan de la face avant de la paroi principale 601 du volet 600.More specifically, each lateral upright 410 is movable between a retracted position, in which its front end 411, oriented towards the front edge 404 of the cylindrical wall 400, extends back from this front edge 404, and a position of shutter, in which its front end 411 extends in the plane of the front face of the main wall 601 of the shutter 600.

Chaque montant latéral 410 se déplace conjointement avec le volet 600, de sorte que, lorsque le volet 600 s'étend dans sa position d'attente à proximité du bord avant 404 de ladite paroi cylindrique 400, le montant latéral 410 se trouve dans sa position d'obturation, et lorsque le volet 600 s'étend à l'intérieur du puits, en retrait du bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique 400, le montant latéral 410 se trouve dans la position de retrait.Each lateral upright 410 moves together with the flap 600, so that when the flap 600 extends into its waiting position near the front edge 404 of said cylindrical wall 400, the lateral upright 410 is in its position. shutter, and when the flap 600 extends inside the well, recessed from the front edge 404 of the cylindrical wall 400, the lateral amount 410 is in the retracted position.

Ainsi, dans la position d'attente du volet 600, les extrémités avant 411 des montants latéraux 410 obturent les encoches 606A prévues pour le passage de ces montants latéraux 410. On obture ainsi une plus grande partie de la section du puits et la sécurité électrique de la prise électrique 700 selon l'invention est renforcée.Thus, in the waiting position of the shutter 600, the front ends 411 lateral uprights 410 close the notches 606A provided for the passage of these lateral uprights 410. This closes a larger part of the well section and the electrical safety of the socket 700 according to the invention is reinforced.

Dans la position d'actionnement du volet 600, lorsque la fiche électrique est insérée dans la prise électrique, l'extrémité avant 411 des montants latéraux 410 s'étend en revanche en retrait par rapport au bord avant de la paroi cylindrique 400, conformément aux normes en vigueur.In the actuated position of the flap 600, when the electric plug is inserted into the electrical socket, the front end 411 of the lateral uprights 410, on the other hand, recedes with respect to the front edge of the cylindrical wall 400, in accordance with the standards in force.

Afin de permettre le déplacement des montant latéraux 410, il est prévu des moyens de coulissement 412 (figures 1, 2, 11 et 15) de chaque montant latéral 410 sur la paroi cylindrique 400 et des moyens d'entraînement du montant latéral 410 vers l'arrière par le volet 600.In order to allow displacement of the lateral uprights 410, sliding means 412 are provided ( figures 1 , 2 , 11 and 15 ) of each lateral upright 410 on the cylindrical wall 400 and drive means of the lateral upright 410 rearwards by the flap 600.

Comme cela sera décrit plus en détails ultérieurement, il est prévu des moyens d'entraînement de chaque montant latéral 410 vers l'avant soit par le volet 600, soit par la cassette 520 accrochée au volet 600 et solidaire en translation de celui-ci.As will be described in more detail later, there is provided means for driving each lateral upright 410 forward either by the flap 600, or by the cassette 520 attached to the flap 600 and integral in translation thereof.

Les moyens de coulissement 412 du montant latéral 400 sont adaptés à coopérer avec des moyens de guidage 406 complémentaires de la paroi cylindrique 400 (figures 1, 2, 11 et 15).The sliding means 412 of the lateral upright 400 are adapted to cooperate with complementary guiding means 406 of the cylindrical wall 400 (FIG. figures 1 , 2 , 11 and 15 ).

Plus particulièrement, lesdits moyens de coulissement 412 de chaque montant latéral 410 comportent ici au moins une nervure 412 en saillie d'une face externe 413 du montant latéral 410 tournée vers la face interne 401 de ladite paroi cylindrique 400, et lesdits moyens de guidage 406 de la paroi cylindrique 400 comportent au moins une rainure 406 complémentaire.More particularly, said sliding means 412 of each lateral upright 410 comprise here at least one rib 412 projecting from an outer face 413 of the lateral upright 410 facing the inner face 401 of said cylindrical wall 400, and said guide means 406 of the cylindrical wall 400 comprise at least one complementary groove 406.

Ici, chaque montant latéral 410 comporte deux nervures 412 (figures 1, 2, 11 et 15) et il est prévu deux rainures 406 correspondantes dans la paroi cylindrique 400.Here, each lateral upright 410 has two ribs 412 ( figures 1 , 2 , 11 and 15 ) and two corresponding grooves 406 are provided in the cylindrical wall 400.

Les nervures 412 des montants latéraux 410 et les rainures 406 de la paroi cylindrique 400 s'étendent parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal X de la paroi cylindrique.The ribs 412 of the lateral uprights 410 and the grooves 406 of the cylindrical wall 400 extend parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the cylindrical wall.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1, 2, 11 et 15, les nervures 412 des montants latéraux 410 présentent une section transversale en forme de T. La rainure 406 de la paroi cylindrique 400 présente une forme complémentaire de manière à loger entièrement chaque nervure 412 des montants latéraux 410 dans l'épaisseur de la paroi cylindrique 400.In the example shown on the figures 1 , 2 , 11 and 15 , the ribs 412 of the lateral uprights 410 have a T-shaped cross-section. The groove 406 of the cylindrical wall 400 has a complementary shape so as to completely house each rib 412 of the lateral uprights 410 in the thickness of the cylindrical wall 400 .

Cette section transversale en forme de T permet de bloquer tout mouvement des montants latéraux 410 selon une direction radiale par rapport à la paroi cylindrique 400, c'est-à-dire vers l'intérieur ou vers l'extérieur de cette paroi cylindrique. Ainsi, le seul degré de liberté de chaque montant latéral 410 est la translation longitudinale selon l'axe longitudinale X de la paroi cylindrique 400.This T-shaped cross section allows you to block everything movement of the lateral uprights 410 in a radial direction relative to the cylindrical wall 400, that is to say towards the inside or towards the outside of this cylindrical wall. Thus, the only degree of freedom of each lateral amount 410 is the longitudinal translation along the longitudinal axis X of the cylindrical wall 400.

En variante, la section transversale des nervures des montants latéraux peut présenter une forme de L ou tout autre forme adaptée à bloquer tout mouvement radial des montants latéraux en autorisant leur coulissement axial.Alternatively, the cross section of the ribs of the lateral uprights may have a shape of L or any other form adapted to block any radial movement of the lateral uprights by allowing their axial sliding.

Il est en outre prévu dans la paroi cylindrique 400 des moyens de butée 406A limitant le déplacement de chaque montant latéral 410 en direction du bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique 400 (figures 1, 2, 10, 11 et 15).It is further provided in the cylindrical wall 400 stop means 406A limiting the displacement of each lateral upright 410 towards the front edge 404 of the cylindrical wall 400 ( figures 1 , 2 , 10 , 11 and 15 ).

Ces moyens de butée 406A sont ici constitués par une paroi de butée 406A disposée à l'extrémité avant de la rainure 406 de la paroi cylindrique 400.These abutment means 406A here consist of an abutment wall 406A disposed at the front end of the groove 406 of the cylindrical wall 400.

Cette paroi de butée 406A de la rainure 406 est positionnée de telle sorte que lorsque la nervure 412 du montant latéral 410 correspondant arrive en butée contre cette paroi, le montant latéral 410 est placé dans sa position d'obturation.This abutment wall 406A of the groove 406 is positioned so that when the rib 412 of the corresponding lateral upright 410 comes into abutment against this wall, the lateral upright 410 is placed in its closed position.

Il est également prévu des moyens de butée des montants latéraux 410 lors de leur déplacement vers l'arrière de la prise électrique 700. Ces moyens de butée se présentent ici par exemple sous la forme d'un pion en saillie de la paroi latérale 112 du socle 100 sur lequel une extrémité arrière 418 (figures 1, 2, 11 et 15) du montant latéral 410 opposée à son extrémité avant 411 prend appui.It is also provided means for abutment of the lateral uprights 410 during their rearward movement of the electrical socket 700. These abutment means are here for example in the form of a pin projecting from the side wall 112 of the base 100 on which a rear end 418 ( figures 1 , 2 , 11 and 15 ) of the lateral amount 410 opposite its end before 411 is supported.

Ce pion est positionné de telle sorte que lorsque l'extrémité arrière 418 du montant latéral 410 correspondant arrive en butée contre ce pion, le montant latéral 410 est dans sa position de retrait.This pin is positioned such that when the rear end 418 of the corresponding lateral upright 410 comes into abutment against this pin, the lateral upright 410 is in its retracted position.

Chaque montant latéral 410 comporte également des moyens de guidage 415, 416 de la translation du volet 600, adaptés à coopérer avec des moyens de coulissement 605, 606 complémentaires du volet (figures 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 et 15).Each lateral upright 410 also comprises guide means 415, 416 for translating the flap 600, adapted to cooperate with sliding means 605, 606 complementary to the flap ( figures 1 , 2 , 4, 5 , 7 , 8, 9 , 11 and 15 ).

Ces moyens de guidage 415, 416 comportent au moins une première rainure 416 ménagée dans la face interne 414 du montant latéral 410, orientée vers l'intérieur du puits de la prise électrique.These guiding means 415, 416 comprise at least a first groove 416 formed in the inner face 414 of the lateral upright 410, oriented towards the inside of the well of the electrical socket.

Dans les différents modes de réalisation représentés ici, la première rainure 416 centrale se présente sous la forme d'une fente 416 traversant l'épaisseur du montant latéral 410 et débouchant sur son extrémité avant 411.In the various embodiments shown here, the first central groove 416 is in the form of a slot 416 passing through the thickness of the lateral upright 410 and opening on its front end 411.

Les moyens de coulissement 605, 606 du volet 600 comportent ici au moins deux pattes de coopération 606 adaptées à coulisser dans les fentes 416 (figures 1, 2, 9, 11 et 15).The sliding means 605, 606 of the flap 600 here comprise at least two cooperating lugs 606 adapted to slide in the slots 416 ( figures 1 , 2 , 9 , 11 and 15 ).

Les deux pattes de coopération 606 sont formées dans la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 et diamétralement opposées. Elle sont définies chacune par les encoches 606A formées dans le contour globalement circulaire de la paroi principale 601 qui laisse passer les montants latéraux 410 lors de la translation du volet (figures 1, 2, 3, 6, 11 et 15).The two cooperating tabs 606 are formed in the main wall 601 of the shutter 600 and diametrically opposed. They are each defined by the notches 606A formed in the generally circular contour of the main wall 601 which passes the lateral uprights 410 during the translation of the shutter ( figures 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 11 and 15 ).

La fente 416 centrale de chaque montant latéral 410 est fermée à son extrémité arrière par une paroi d'extrémité 416A sur laquelle la face arrière de ladite patte de coopération 606 du volet 600 est adaptée à prendre appui pour pousser le montant latéral 410 vers l'arrière de la paroi cylindrique 400 (voir notamment les figures 2, 11 et 15).The central slot 416 of each lateral upright 410 is closed at its rear end by an end wall 416A on which the rear face of said cooperating lug 606 of the flap 600 is adapted to bear to push the lateral upright 410 towards the rear of the cylindrical wall 400 (see in particular the figures 2 , 11 and 15 ).

La paroi d'extrémité 416A de la fente 416 de chaque montant latéral 410 est située à proximité de l'extrémité arrière 418 de ce montant latéral 410 et forme ainsi un moyen d'entraînement du montant latéral 410 vers l'arrière de la prise électrique 700. La face arrière de la patte de coopération 606 du volet 600 forme un moyen d'entraînement complémentaire du volet 600.The end wall 416A of the slot 416 of each lateral upright 410 is located near the rear end 418 of this lateral upright 410 and thus forms a means for driving the lateral upright 410 towards the rear of the electrical outlet. 700. The rear face of the cooperating lug 606 of the flap 600 forms a drive means complementary to the flap 600.

Selon le premier mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté sur les figures 1 à 10, les moyens de guidage 415, 416 du volet 600 de chaque montant latéral 410 comportent en outre deux deuxièmes rainures 415 latérales de profondeur inférieure à l'épaisseur du montant latéral 410.According to the first embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 10 , the guide means 415, 416 of the flap 600 of each lateral upright 410 further comprise two second lateral grooves 415 of depth less than the thickness of the lateral upright 410.

Les moyens de coulissement 605, 606 du volet 600 comportent ici en outre des nervures complémentaires 605 adaptées à coulisser dans les deuxièmes rainures 415 latérales des montants (figures 1, 2 et 9).The sliding means 605, 606 of the flap 600 further comprise complementary ribs 605 adapted to slide in the second lateral grooves 415 of the uprights (FIG. figures 1 , 2 and 9 ).

Comme le montrent les figures 1, 2 et 9, chaque nervure complémentaire 605 prévue sur le volet 600 s'étend à partir d'une face arrière de ce volet 600, perpendiculairement à celle-ci. Cette nervure complémentaire 605 ne s'étend pas sur toute la hauteur de la paroi tombante 602 : elle s'étend du bord libre de cette paroi tombante 602 jusqu'à une distance donnée de la face arrière de la paroi principale 601.As shown by figures 1 , 2 and 9 , each complementary rib 605 provided on the flap 600 extends from a rear face of the flap 600, perpendicularly thereto. This complementary rib 605 does not extend over the entire height of the falling wall 602: it extends from the free edge of this falling wall 602 to a given distance from the rear face of the main wall 601.

Chaque nervure complémentaire 605 comporte donc une face avant parallèle à la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 disposée légèrement en retrait par rapport à la face arrière de la paroi principale 601.Each complementary rib 605 therefore has a front face parallel to the main wall 601 of the flap 600 arranged slightly recessed relative to the rear face of the main wall 601.

Chaque deuxième rainure 415 latérales de chaque montant latéral 410 comporte une paroi d'extrémité 415A, délimitant son extrémité avant sur laquelle la face avant de la nervure complémentaire 605 du volet 600 est adaptée à prendre appui pour tirer le montant latéral 410 en direction du bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique 400 (figures 1 à 5, 7 et 8).Each second lateral groove 415 of each lateral upright 410 has an end wall 415A delimiting its front end on which the front face of the complementary rib 605 of the shutter 600 is adapted to bear to pull the lateral upright 410 towards the edge. before 404 of the cylindrical wall 400 ( Figures 1 to 5 , 7 and 8 ).

La paroi d'extrémité 415A de chaque deuxième rainure 415 latérale de chaque montant latéral 410 est située à proximité de l'extrémité avant 411 de ce montant latéral 410 et forme un moyen d'entraînement du montant latéral 410 vers l'avant de la prise électrique 700. La face avant de la nervure complémentaire 605 du volet 600 forme un moyen d'entraînement complémentaire du volet 600.The end wall 415A of each second lateral groove 415 of each lateral upright 410 is located near the front end 411 of this lateral upright 410 and forms a drive means of the lateral upright 410 towards the front of the socket. 700. The front face of the complementary rib 605 of the flap 600 forms a drive means complementary to the flap 600.

Selon le deuxième et le troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention, représentés sur les figures 11 à 18, il est prévu d'autres moyens de guidage du volet 600 distincts des moyens de guidage portés par les montants latéraux 410.According to the second and third embodiments of the invention, shown in Figures 11 to 18 other means for guiding the shutter 600 are provided, distinct from the guide means carried by the lateral uprights 410.

Ces autres moyens de guidage du volet 600 comportent deux logements 180 ménagés dans la partie arrière 110 du boîtier 100 de la prise électrique.These other guide means of the flap 600 comprise two housings 180 formed in the rear portion 110 of the housing 100 of the electrical outlet.

Ces logements 180 se présentent sous la forme de cheminées s'étendant le long de la paroi latérale 112 du boîtier 100, sur toute la hauteur de la partie arrière 110 de ce boîtier 100.These housings 180 are in the form of chimneys extending along the side wall 112 of the housing 100, over the entire height of the rear portion 110 of this housing 100.

La cassette 520 solidaire du volet 600 comporte alors au moins une jambe 530 en L qui s'étend vers l'arrière de la prise électrique. Elle comporte ici deux jambes 530 latérales qui s'étendent à partir de deux côtés opposés de la paroi latérale 523 de la cassette 520.The cassette 520 secured to the shutter 600 then comprises at least one leg 530 L which extends towards the rear of the electrical outlet. Here it comprises two lateral legs 530 which extend from two opposite sides of the side wall 523 of the cassette 520.

Ces deux jambes 530 font face aux montants latéraux 410.These two legs 530 face the lateral uprights 410.

Ces jambes en L sont adaptées à coulisser dans lesdits logements 180 du boîtier 100 et participent ainsi au guidage de la translation du volet 600.These L-shaped legs are adapted to slide in said housings 180 of the housing 100 and thus participate in guiding the translation of the flap 600.

En variante, les jambes en L peuvent être intégrées au volet. Elles s'étendent alors à l'arrière du volet, à partir de la face arrière de la paroi principale du volet. Ceci est notamment le cas lorsque la prise électrique ne comporte pas d'obturateur ni de cassette à l'arrière du volet.Alternatively, the L-shaped legs can be integrated into the shutter. They then extend to the rear of the shutter, from the rear face of the main wall of the shutter. This is particularly the case when the electrical outlet has no shutter or cassette at the back of the shutter.

Chaque jambe 530 en L comporte à son extrémité libre un pied 531 faisant saillie de la jambes 530 vers l'extérieur de la prise électrique. La face avant 531A de ce pied 531 est adaptée à prendre appui sur l'extrémité arrière 418 du montant latéral 410 correspondant pour tirer ce montant latéral 410 en direction du bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique 400 (figures 14, 16 et 18) lorsque le volet 600 est translaté vers l'avant de la prise électrique.Each leg 530 L has at its free end a foot 531 protruding from the legs 530 to the outside of the electrical outlet. The front face 531A of this foot 531 is adapted to bear on the rear end 418 of the lateral upright 410 corresponding to pull the lateral upright 410 towards the front edge 404 of the cylindrical wall 400 ( figures 14 , 16 and 18 ) when the flap 600 is translated towards the front of the electrical outlet.

La face avant 531A du pied 531 de chaque jambe 530 est agencée de manière à ce que l'extrémité avant 411 des montants 410 s'étendent dans le plan de la face avant de la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 lorsque celui-ci est dans sa position d'attente.The front face 531A of the foot 531 of each leg 530 is arranged so that the front end 411 of the uprights 410 extend in the plane of the front face of the main wall 601 of the flap 600 when it is in his waiting position.

L'extrémité arrière 418 de chaque montant latéral 410 forme ainsi un moyen d'entraînement du montant correspondant vers l'avant de la prise électrique et la face avant 531A de chaque jambe 530 forme un moyen d'entraînement complémentaire du montant latéral 410 vers l'avant de la prise électrique 700.The rear end 418 of each lateral upright 410 thus forms a means of driving the corresponding upright forward of the grip. and the front face 531A of each leg 530 forms a complementary driving means of the side post 410 to the front of the electrical outlet 700.

En pratique, quel que soit le mode de réalisation considéré, comme expliqué précédemment, dans la position d'attente du volet 600, les extrémités avant 411 des montants latéraux 410 s'étendent dans le plan de la face avant de la paroi principale 601 du volet 600 (figures 6 à 8 et 12, 14, 16 et 18).In practice, whatever the embodiment considered, as explained above, in the waiting position of the flap 600, the front ends 411 of the lateral uprights 410 extend in the plane of the front face of the main wall 601 of the shutter 600 ( Figures 6 to 8 and 12 , 14 , 16 and 18 ).

Lorsque le volet 600 est poussé vers sa position d'actionnement, par exemple par l'introduction de la fiche électrique complémentaire, le volet 600 coulisse dans le puits de la prise : les pattes d'entraînement 606 du volet 600 coulissent dans les fentes 416 des montants latéraux 410, et, dans le premier mode de réalisation, les nervures complémentaires 605 du volet coulissent dans les deuxièmes rainures 415 latérales des montants latéraux 410, tandis que dans les deuxième et troisième modes de réalisation, les jambes 530 de la cassette 520 coulissent dans les logements 180 du boîtier 100.When the shutter 600 is pushed towards its actuating position, for example by the introduction of the complementary electrical plug, the shutter 600 slides in the well of the socket: the drive tabs 606 of the shutter 600 slide in the slots 416 lateral uprights 410, and in the first embodiment, the complementary ribs 605 of the flap slide in the second lateral grooves 415 of the lateral uprights 410, whereas in the second and third embodiments, the legs 530 of the cassette 520 slide in the housing 180 of the housing 100.

Au cours de ce coulissement, la face arrière de chaque patte d'actionnement 606 du volet 600 vient au contact de la paroi d'extrémité 416A de la fente 416 de chaque montant latéral 410.During this sliding, the rear face of each actuating tab 606 of the flap 600 comes into contact with the end wall 416A of the slot 416 of each lateral upright 410.

Puis, lorsque l'enfoncement du volet 600 se poursuit, chaque patte d'actionnement 606 appuie sur la paroi d'extrémité 416A correspondante et entraîne le coulissement du montant latéral 410 correspondant vers l'arrière de la prise électrique (figures 3 à 5). Pour cela, les nervures 412 portées par la face externe 413 de chaque montant latéral 410 coulissent dans les rainures 406 de la paroi cylindrique 400.Then, when the depression of the flap 600 continues, each actuating tab 606 presses on the corresponding end wall 416A and causes the sliding of the corresponding lateral upright 410 towards the rear of the electrical outlet ( Figures 3 to 5 ). For this, the ribs 412 carried by the outer face 413 of each lateral upright 410 slide in the grooves 406 of the cylindrical wall 400.

Dans le premier mode de réalisation, le coulissement des nervures complémentaires 605 du volet 600 dans les deuxièmes rainures 415 latérales des montants latéraux 410 est limité à l'arrière par la plaquette 200. Plus précisément, le coulissement est limité par la butée d'un élément 520 qui sera décrit ultérieurement et qui est monté à l'arrière du volet 600 sur la plaquette 200.In the first embodiment, the sliding of the complementary ribs 605 of the flap 600 in the second lateral grooves 415 of the lateral uprights 410 is limited at the rear by the wafer 200. More specifically, the sliding is limited by the stop of a element 520 which will be described later and which is mounted at the rear of the flap 600 on the wafer 200.

Dans les deuxième et troisième modes de réalisation, le coulissement des jambes 530 dans les logements 180 correspondants est limité à l'arrière par des butées 305 qui seront détaillées dans la suite de cet exposé.In the second and third embodiments, the sliding of the legs 530 in the corresponding housings 180 is limited at the rear by abutments 305 which will be detailed later in this discussion.

Au cours de ce coulissement vers l'arrière des montants latéraux, l'extrémité avant 411 de chaque montant latéral 410 se décale vers l'arrière de la prise électrique (figures 3, 4 et 5). Lorsque la fiche électrique est introduite dans la prise selon l'invention, les extrémités avant 411 du montant latéral 410 s'étendent donc en retrait par rapport au bord avant 404 de la paroi cylindrique 400.During this sliding towards the rear of the lateral uprights, the front end 411 of each lateral upright 410 shifts toward the rear of the electrical socket ( figures 3 , 4 and 5 ). When the electrical plug is inserted into the socket according to the invention, the front ends 411 of the side post 410 extend therefore set back from the front edge 404 of the cylindrical wall 400.

La fiche électrique comporte avantageusement une face latérale externe de géométrie complémentaire à celle du puits de la prise électrique 700, et son introduction dans le puits est guidée par les fentes 416 centrales des montants latéraux 410. Elle porte également ici sur sa face externe des éléments de contact adaptés à connecter ladite fiche électrique aux branches latérales 211 de la lyre 200, ce qui assure que la fiche électrique est reliée à la terre avant même que ses broches ne soient connectées au courant de phase et de neutre.The electrical plug advantageously comprises an external lateral face of complementary geometry to that of the well of the electrical socket 700, and its introduction into the well is guided by the central slots 416 of the lateral uprights 410. It also bears here on its outer surface elements contact pins adapted to connect said electrical plug to the lateral branches 211 of the lyre 200, which ensures that the electrical plug is connected to the ground even before its pins are connected to the phase current and neutral.

Lorsque la fiche électrique est retirée du puits de la prise électrique 700, des moyens de rappel 300 ramènent le volet 600 vers sa position d'attente.When the electrical plug is removed from the well of the electrical outlet 700, return means 300 return the flap 600 to its standby position.

Dans les premier et deuxième modes de réalisation, ces moyens de rappel 300 comportent un ressort de compression 301 logé dans un montant central 302 se présentant sous la forme d'un cylindre creux (figures 1, 11 et 14).In the first and second embodiments, these return means 300 comprise a compression spring 301 housed in a central upright 302 in the form of a hollow cylinder ( figures 1 , 11 and 14 ).

Le ressort de compression 301 est interposé entre une paroi de la partie arrière 110 du socle 100, par exemple le fond 111 de cette partie arrière, et une paroi interne du montant central 302. Le montant central 302 est adapté à coulisser axialement dans une rainure 203 pour se translater conjointement avec le volet 600.The compression spring 301 is interposed between a wall of the rear portion 110 of the base 100, for example the bottom 111 of this rear portion, and an inner wall of the central upright 302. The central upright 302 is adapted to slide axially in a groove 203 to translate with 600.

Plus précisément, il coulisse vers l'avant et vers l'arrière du socle 100 à travers une ouverture centrale 203 adaptée de la plaquette 200 (figure 1).More precisely, it slides towards the front and towards the rear of the base 100 through a central opening 203 adapted from the wafer 200 ( figure 1 ).

Lorsque le volet 600 est dans sa position d'actionnement à l'arrière du puits de la prise électrique, le ressort de compression 301 est comprimé à l'intérieur du montant central 302, qui est lui-même logé en partie dans un logement central 114 adapté de la partie arrière 110 du socle 100 (figure 1 et 14).When the flap 600 is in its actuated position at the rear of the well of the electrical outlet, the compression spring 301 is compressed inside the central upright 302, which is itself housed partly in a central housing. 114 adapted from the rear portion 110 of the base 100 ( figure 1 and 14 ).

Lorsque la pression de la fiche électrique sur le volet 600 est relâchée, le ressort de compression 301 se détend et repousse le montant central 302 vers l'avant de la prise électrique.When the pressure of the electrical plug on the shutter 600 is released, the compression spring 301 expands and pushes the central post 302 forward of the electrical outlet.

Le volet 600 qui se translate conjointement avec le montant central 302 est alors ramené vers sa position d'attente.The shutter 600 which is translated together with the central amount 302 is then returned to its waiting position.

Plus précisément, le montant central 302 agit sur la cassette 520 pour la pousser vers l'avant de la prise électrique. Le volet 600 qui est solidaire en translation de la cassette 520 est également ramené vers l'avant.More specifically, the central upright 302 acts on the cassette 520 to push it forward of the electrical outlet. The shutter 600 which is integral in translation of the cassette 520 is also brought forward.

Dans le troisième mode de réalisation, les moyens de rappel 300 comportent deux ressorts de compression 305 logés dans les logements 180 du boîtier 100 (figures 15, 16 et 18).In the third embodiment, the return means 300 comprise two compression springs 305 housed in the housings 180 of the housing 100 (FIG. figures 15 , 16 and 18 ).

Ces ressorts de compression 305 sont interposés entre une paroi de la partie arrière 110 du socle 100, ici le fond 111 de cette partie arrière 110, et une face arrière 531 B du pied 351 de chaque jambe 530.These compression springs 305 are interposed between a wall of the rear portion 110 of the base 100, here the bottom 111 of this rear portion 110, and a rear face 531 B of the leg 351 of each leg 530.

Lorsque le volet 600 est dans sa position d'actionnement à l'arrière du puits de la prise électrique, chaque ressort de compression 305 est comprimé à l'intérieur du logement 180 correspondant.When the shutter 600 is in its operating position at the rear of the well of the electrical outlet, each compression spring 305 is compressed within the corresponding housing 180.

Les ressorts de compression 305, une fois comprimés, forment alors les butées précitées, et permettent donc de limiter à l'arrière le coulissement des jambes 530 dans les logements 180 correspondants.Compression springs 305, once compressed, then form the abovementioned abutments, and thus allow to limit at the rear the sliding of the legs 530 in the corresponding housing 180.

Lorsque la pression de la fiche électrique sur le volet 600 est relâchée, les ressorts de compression 305 se détendent et repoussent les jambes 530, et donc la cassette 520 vers l'avant de la prise électrique.When the pressure of the electrical plug on the flap 600 is released, the compression springs 305 relax and push back the legs 530, and thus the cassette 520 towards the front of the electrical outlet.

Le volet 600 qui se translate conjointement avec la cassette 520 est alors ramené vers sa position d'attente.The shutter 600 which is translated together with the cassette 520 is then returned to its standby position.

Pour cela, dans le premier mode de réalisation, les nervures complémentaires 605 du volet 600 coulissent vers l'avant dans les deuxièmes rainures 415 des montants latéraux.For this, in the first embodiment, the complementary ribs 605 of the flap 600 slide forward in the second grooves 415 of the lateral uprights.

La face avant de chaque nervure complémentaire 605 arrive en butée contre la paroi d'extrémité 415A de la rainure 415 correspondante du montant latéral 410 et pousse ainsi ce montant latéral 410 vers l'avant de la prise électrique 700.The front face of each complementary rib 605 comes into abutment against the end wall 415A of the corresponding groove 415 of the lateral upright 410 and thus pushes this lateral upright 410 towards the front of the electrical socket 700.

Dans les deuxième et troisième modes de réalisation, les jambes 530 de la cassette 520 coulissent dans les logements 180 du boîtier 100.In the second and third embodiments, the legs 530 of the cassette 520 slide in the recesses 180 of the housing 100.

La face avant 531A du pied 531 de chaque jambe 530 arrive en butée contre l'extrémité arrière 418 du montant latéral 410 correspondant et pousse ainsi ce montant latéral 410 vers l'avant de la prise électrique 700.The front face 531A of the foot 531 of each leg 530 comes into abutment against the rear end 418 of the corresponding side post 410 and thus pushes this lateral amount 410 towards the front of the electrical outlet 700.

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation de l'invention, chaque montant latéral 410 coulisse alors vers l'avant, jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité avant 412A de chaque nervure 412 portée par la face externe des montants latéraux 410 arrive en butée contre la paroi de butée 406A de la rainure 406 correspondante de la paroi cylindrique 400.Whatever the embodiment of the invention, each lateral upright 410 then slides forward, until the front end 412A of each rib 412 carried by the outer face of the lateral uprights 410 abuts against the abutment wall 406A of the corresponding groove 406 of the cylindrical wall 400.

Le volet 600 est alors à nouveau dans sa position d'attente et les extrémités avant 411 des montants latéraux 410 s'étendent dans le plan de la face avant de la paroi principale 601 de ce volet 600, de manière à obturer plus complètement la section du puits.The shutter 600 is then again in its waiting position and the front ends 411 of the lateral uprights 410 extend in the plane of the front face of the main wall 601 of this shutter 600, so as to close the section more completely. of Wells.

La présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés mais l'homme du métier saura y apporter toute variante conforme à son esprit.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown but the skilled person will be able to make any variant in keeping with his spirit.

On peut prévoir par exemple que la prise électrique selon le troisième mode de réalisation comporte un montant central similaire à celui prévu dans les deux premiers modes de réalisation.For example, it can be provided that the electrical outlet according to the third embodiment comprises a central amount similar to that provided in the first two embodiments.
