Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to electrical outlets.
  • the invention allows in particular the production of an electrical outlet to the "shuko" standard, also known under the reference CEE 7/4, comprising a mobile protective flap.
  • the lateral uprights are arranged so that their front ends are set back from the front edge of the well, in accordance with the standards in force.
  • the invention proposes a new type of electrical outlet in which the front face of the outlet is closed more completely by the flap in the waiting position.
  • the electrical outlet conforms to claim 1 or claim 2.
  • the lateral uprights are then driven forward when the shutter takes its standby position, so that their ends close the notches of the shutter.
  • front and rear respectively designate the side of the electrical equipment oriented towards the user when this equipment is used and the opposite side.
  • an electrical outlet 700 comprising a well adapted to receive an additional electrical plug for the connection of this electrical plug to an electrical network.
  • the electrical outlet 700 is here adapted to be housed in a recessed box or attached projecting from any wall (not shown). Alternatively, it may be an electrical outlet of the extension type or a multi-socket block. The principle of the invention described here is then not changed.
  • the various internal elements of the electrical outlet 700 are housed in a base 100.
  • This base 100 is made of insulating material, for example by molding a plastic material.
  • the base 100 has a generally parallelepiped shape ( figures 1 , 3 to 8 , 11 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 16 and 18 ).

  • a shoulder 121 ( figures 1 , 4 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 15 and 16 ) of the side wall 112 induces a widening of the section of the base 100.
  • This shoulder 121 is located at the border between a rear part 110 and a front part 120 of the base 100.
  • An insulating plate 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 the rear part 110 of the base forwards 100.
  • This plate 200 comprises a flat rectangular part 201 which extends substantially parallel to the bottom 111 of the base 100. It comprises at each of its angles a tear-off hook 204, a portion of which extends perpendicular to said flat part 201 of the plate 200 and cooperates with retention with the side wall 112 of the base 100 to prevent any displacement towards the front of the plate 200.
  • the front part 120 of the base 100 comprises means for mounting this base in a support for an electrical switchgear mechanism (not shown).

  • the compression spring 301 When the shutter 600 is in its actuation 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 in part in a central housing 114 adapted from the rear part 110 of the base 100 ( figure 1 and 14 ).
  • the flap 600 which translates jointly with the central upright 302 is then brought back to its standby position.
  • the central upright 302 acts on the cassette 520 to push it towards the front of the electrical outlet.
  • the flap 600 which is integral in translation with the cassette 520 is also brought forward.
  • the return means 300 comprise two compression springs 305 housed in the housings 180 of the housing 100 ( figures 15 , 16 and 18 ).
  • These compression springs 305 are interposed between a wall of the rear part 110 of the base 100, here the bottom 111 of this rear part 110, and a rear face 531B of the foot 351 of each leg 530.
  • each compression spring 305 is compressed inside the corresponding housing 180.
  • the compression springs 305 once compressed, then form the abovementioned stops, and therefore make it possible to limit at the rear the sliding of the legs 530 in the corresponding housings 180.
  • the flap 600 which translates jointly with the cassette 520 is then brought back to its standby position.
  • the complementary ribs 605 of the flap 600 slide forward in the second grooves 415 of the lateral uprights.
  • each complementary rib 605 abuts 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 outlet 700.
  • the legs 530 of the cassette 520 slide in the housings 180 of the housing 100.
  • the front face 531A of the foot 531 of each leg 530 abuts against the rear end 418 of the corresponding lateral upright 410 and thus pushes this lateral upright 410 towards the front of the electrical outlet 700.
  • each lateral upright 410 then slides forward, until the front end 412A of each rib 412 carried by the external face of the lateral uprights 410 comes into abutment against the abutment wall 406A of the corresponding groove 406 of the cylindrical wall 400.
  • 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 more completely seal the section of Wells.
