Each of such hooks is slidable between a coupling position and an uncoupling position such as to allow mutually coupling and uncoupling two modular electrical apparatuses in a relatively easy manner, without the need to use tools, while ensuring a strong and reliable coupling between the electrical apparatuses.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a modular electrical apparatus comprising coupling elements for coupling such apparatus to further modular electrical apparatus, which is capable of solving or at least partially reducing the drawbacks discussed above with reference to the modular electrical apparatuses of the prior art, which are based on the use of rigid and/or flexible coupling teeth.
  • a modular electrical apparatus according to a first embodiment is shown, which has been generally indicated with the reference 10.
  • the apparatus 10 is an auxiliary contact 10, or an auxiliary contact device 10, associable to an electric circuit breaker.
  • An auxiliary contact for an electric circuit breaker is widely known to those skilled in the art; therefore, the operation of such device will be not described herein in more detail.
  • teachings of the present description are not limited to an auxiliary contact for an electric circuit breaker, but the can be generally applied to any modular electrical apparatuses intended to be coupled to a further modular electrical apparatus.
  • the apparatus 10 will be able to comprise for example, and without for this introducing any limitations, an electric circuit breaker, a motor remote control module, a differential circuit breaker, or a signalling device.

  • the apparatus 10 comprises a generally box-shaped apparatus body 11.
  • the apparatus body 11 comprises a first coupling side wall 12, or right wall 12, and a second side wall 13, or left wall 13, which is opposite the first coupling side wall 12.
  • the apparatus body 11 preferably comprises a front wall 14 and an opposite rear wall (not shown), that are joined to the side walls 12, 13 and interposed between such walls 12, 13.
  • the front wall 14 is preferably provided with a maneuvering element 15, such as, for example, a maneuvering lever 15, and/or an indicating element 16 suitable to signal the electrical status of the apparatus 10 and/or of a further electrical apparatus coupled to the apparatus 10.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises coupling elements 17, 18 for coupling the apparatus 10 to a further modular electrical apparatus so that such apparatuses, once they are coupled together, have two respective juxtaposed side walls.
  • the coupling elements 17, 18 comprise a pair of elastically flexible coupling teeth 17, 18 that projects from the right wall 12.
  • the teeth 17, 18 are mutually aligned and spaced apart along the right wall 12 of the apparatus 10.

  • the coupling elements 17, 18 may comprise an elastically flexible tooth and a rigid tooth.
  • rigid tooth is meant a relatively rigid tooth with respect to an elastically flexible tooth.
  • teeth 17, 18 have substantially identical structure and operation, for the sake of illustration brevity, the structure and operation of only one of the teeth 17, 18 will be described in detail herein below. Therefore, it is understood that what will be described herein below with reference to the tooth 17 will similarly apply to the tooth 18.
  • the tooth 17 is suitable to selectively take a first operative configuration, or coupling configuration ( Fig. 2 ), and a second operative configuration, or uncoupling configuration ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the tooth 17 is elastically uncharged, or elastically substantially uncharged, and it preferably projects in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the right wall.
  • the tooth 17 is deflected and elastically charged with respect to the coupling configuration.
  • the teeth 17, 18 are arranged so as to be bent to opposite directions when they take the respective uncoupling configurations. In other terms, when they take the respective uncoupling configuration, the teeth 17, 18 are relatively more spaced apart from one another compared to when such teeth take the respective coupling configuration.
  • the tooth 17 comprises a tooth end 17' that is joined to the left wall 13, an opposite tooth end 17" that projects from the right wall 12, and a tooth intermediate portion that is interposed between the above-mentioned tooth ends 17', 17".
  • the tooth 17 comprises a base portion 17A that extends between the right and left walls 12, 13 and a coupling portion 17B, or hook portion 17B, which is joined to the base portion and projects from the right wall 12.
  • the base portion 17A of the tooth 17 is substantially bridge-shaped. Such bridge-shaped configuration is shown in Fig. 7 , and it is substantially equal to the one of the base portion 117A of the coupling tooth 117 shown in Fig. 5 .
  • a second embodiment which will be described in more detail herein below.
  • the apparatus 10 advantageously comprises holding elements, or locking elements, that are suitable to releasably hold the coupling teeth 17, 18 in the respective uncoupling configurations.
  • holding elements 21, 22 of the tooth 17 in accordance with a preferred embodiment are shown.
  • holding elements that are structurally and functionally identical, or substantially identical, to the elements 21, 22 are provided on the coupling tooth 18.
  • the holding elements 21, 22 are operatively interposed between the right wall 12 and the coupling tooth 17.
  • the holding elements 21, 22 comprise a pair of relief elements 21, 22 that are opposite each other and suitable to mutually mechanically interfere to lock the coupling tooth 17 in the uncoupling configuration.
  • the number of pairs of relief elements 21, 22 is not limited only to one pair, but generally it is sufficient that at least one pair of relief elements 21, 22 is provided.
  • a further pair of relief elements 21, 22 could be provided on the opposite side of the tooth 17.
  • the relief elements 21, 22 comprise a pair of cusps 21, 22.
  • the cusps 21, 22 are provided respectively on the coupling tooth 17 and on the right wall 12.
  • the cusp 21 that is provided on the coupling tooth 17 projects from the above-mentioned intermediate portion of such tooth.
  • the cusps 21, 22 project in the transversal direction, and more preferably in a direction substantially orthogonal to the prevailing extension direction of the tooth 17.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises anti-yield elements 23, 24 suitable to reduce the flexure of the teeth 17, 18 when they pass from the coupling configuration to the uncoupling configuration.
  • the anti-yield elements 23 comprise a pair of projecting portions 23, 24 of the right wall 12 that define eyelets 23, 24 through which the teeth 17, 18 are selectively movable.
  • the eyelet 23 associated with the tooth 17 is particularly shown.
  • the eyelet 24 is identical or substantially identical to the eyelet 23.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises a pair of release recesses 25, 26, each being associated to a respective tooth 17, 18.
  • a tool may be inserted, such as, for example, a screwdriver, which is suitable to cooperate with the teeth 17, 18 to make such teeth take the respective uncoupling configuration.
  • a group of parts is shown, generally indicated with 30, which comprises the apparatus 10 and a further modular electrical apparatus 31 that are coupled to each other.
  • the apparatus 31 comprises in a non-limiting manner a multipolar electric circuit breaker 31.
  • the circuit breaker 31 is shown uncoupled from the apparatus 10.
  • conjugated coupling elements 32, 33 are shown, preferably two coupling recesses 32, 33, which are provided on a side wall 34 of the circuit breaker 31 and which are suitable to cooperate with the teeth 17, 18 for removably coupling together the apparatus 10 and the circuit breaker 31.
  • the coupling between the apparatuses 10 and 31 can be carried out also by making the teeth 17, 18 preliminarily take the uncoupling configuration, and by making the teeth 17, 18 subsequently take the coupling configuration, after these ones have been inserted through the coupling recesses 32, 33.
  • the apparatus 10 In order to uncouple from one another the apparatus 10 and the circuit breaker 31 once they are coupled together, it is sufficient to make the coupling teeth 17, 18 take the uncoupling configuration such as to uncouple or disengage the teeth 17, 18 from the coupling recesses 32, 33. This may be for example carried out by inserting a tool, such as, e.g., a screwdriver, through the release recesses 25, 26 and levering on the coupling teeth 17, 18. Once the teeth 17, 18 have been locked in the uncoupling configuration by the above-mentioned cusps, the apparatus 10 can be simply uncoupled from the circuit breaker 31 by moving the walls 12 and 34 away from one another by a translatory motion.
  • a tool such as, e.g., a screwdriver
  • a modular electrical apparatus 100 in accordance with a second preferred embodiment is shown.
  • the apparatus 100 is substantially identical to the apparatus 10; therefore, it will be not described herein in more detail.
  • the apparatus 100 differs from the apparatus 10 substantially in the different arrangement of the holding elements that are provided to hold the coupling flexible teeth 117, 118 in the respective uncoupling configuration. Since the coupling teeth 117, 118 and the holding elements associated to such teeth are substantially identical to one another, for the sake of illustration brevity, only the tooth 117 and the corresponding holding elements 121, 122 will be described in more detail herein below. Therefore, it is understood that what will be described in relation to the tooth 117 will also apply, with the necessary changes, to the case of the coupling tooth 118.
  • the holding elements 121, 122 comprise two pairs of relief elements 121, 122, or cusps 121, 122, that are opposite each other with respect to the center line of prevailing extension of the coupling tooth 117 when the tooth 117 takes the coupling configuration.
  • the cusps 121, 122 project in the prevailing extension direction of the coupling tooth. More particularly, in the example of Fig.
  • each pair of cusps 121, 122 comprises a cusp 121 that projects from the base portion 117A of the tooth 117, and a cusp 122 that projects from the anti-yield element 123 or eyelet 123. It shall be however noticed that it is not strictly needed that the relief elements 121, 122 comprise two pairs of cusps. For example, in accordance with an alternative embodiment, only one pair of cusps 121, 122 could be provided between the tooth 117 and the eyelet 123.
