On connaît actuellement principalement trois types de bornes de raccordement à savoir les bornes de raccordement du type à vis, les bornes de raccordement du type à raccordement dit rapide ainsi que les bornes auto-dénudantes.Three types of connection terminals are known at the present time, namely the screw-type connection terminals, the quick-connect type connection terminals and the self-stripping terminals.
Les bornes de raccordement à vis permettent le raccordement d'un ou de deux fils dans une même borne, mais ne constituent pas un moyen de raccordement rapide.The screw terminals allow the connection of one or two wires in the same terminal, but do not constitute a means of quick connection.
Les bornes de raccordement du type rapide utilisent un ou plusieurs ressorts pour bloquer le fil en position connecté. Plusieurs méthodes peuvent être employées pour libérer le conducteur en comprimant le ressort. Ces bornes utilisent pour comprimer le ressort soit un tournevis, un levier coulissant, un levier rotatif à came ou autres, etc.... Le document
Ces bornes de raccordement du type rapide présentent l'inconvénient qu'elles ne permettent pas de connecter deux conducteurs en même temps, et qu'il est alors nécessaire d'utiliser deux bornes séparées lesquelles doivent être actionnées séparément.These connection terminals of the fast type have the disadvantage that they do not allow two conductors to be connected at the same time, and that it is then necessary to use two separate terminals which must be actuated separately.
Dans la plus part des cas, ces bornes du type à raccordement rapide sont disposées côte à côte et sont munies de leurs propres dispositifs de libération des conducteurs.In most cases, these quick-connect type terminals are arranged side by side and have their own conductor release devices.
Or, dans le cas où les bornes nécessitent d'être alignées l'une derrière l'autre, c'est-à-dire suivant une direction perpendiculaire au plan de fixation des appareils, il est nécessaire de disposer d'un moyen de manoeuvre unique.However, in the case where the terminals need to be aligned one behind the other, that is to say in a direction perpendicular to the plane of attachment of the apparatus, it is necessary to have a means of maneuvering unique.
La présente invention résout ces inconvénients et propose un dispositif de raccordement électrique du type rapide, de conception simple, compatible avec les appareils auxiliaires raccordés habituellement au moyen de vis.The present invention solves these disadvantages and proposes a fast type electrical connection device of simple design, compatible with auxiliary devices usually connected by means of screws.

In such a device, among others, the or each said spring comprises a spring blade supported by one of said first of its free end portions, on the so-called first fixed portion of the connection area of the apparatus, and by its second free end portion, the absence of conductors in the terminal, on the so-called second fixed portion of the connection pad, this second free end portion being also intended to be brought into elastic support on the conductor when it is inserted into the orifice corresponding, after the displacement of the aforementioned actuating means in the second position, so as to retain the conductor inside the terminal.

figure 6 est une vue partielle en perspective illustrant seulement une partie de la borne comportant la cage, les deux lames ressort et la plage de raccordement.
- The

figure 2 is a view similar to the previous figure, the connection device being in the open position allowing the withdrawal of the conductors, - The
figure 3 is a view similar to the previous one, the connection device being in the open position, two conductors having been introduced under the connection areas of the apparatus, - The

Sur les figures, on voit un appareil de protection et/ou de distribution électrique, notamment un disjoncteur modulaire D, destiné à être fixé sur un support de montage tel un rail R. Cet appareil est logé dans un boîtier B de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique comportant une face avant 1 comportant un nez N à travers lequel débouche une manette M d'actionnement de l'appareil, une face arrière 2 par laquelle l'appareil est monté sur le rail R, deux faces principales 3,4 (
Ainsi, les conducteurs 34 internes à l'appareil débouchent dans des logements 16,17 prévus dans le boîtier de l'appareil et sont accessibles par des orifices 9,10 dans lesquels peuvent être insérés des conducteurs externes 11,12. Ces logements comprennent des moyens de raccordement, permettant le serrage des câbles, souples ou rigides, ou autres, afin de les maintenir en contact avec une partie des conducteurs internes de l'appareil pour finaliser l'installation électrique. Or, il arrive qu'une même borne d'un appareil électrique nécessite d'être raccordée électriquement à deux conducteurs, par exemple dans le cas où le disjoncteur nécessite d'être relié électriquement en aval d'un côté, à un auxiliaire différentiel, et de l'autre côté, à un autre auxiliaire du type contacteur précablé.Thus, the
Le dispositif de raccordement selon cette réalisation préférée décrite ici de l'invention permet de réaliser cette double connexion (ou déconnexion) et comporte une pièce formant étrier 13 montée coulissante par rapport au boîtier de l'appareil et apte à être déplacée en translation par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen d'actionnement comportant un levier 14 rotatif à came 15. Cette came en position ouverte, est apte à maintenir l'étrier en position ouverte grâce à un système de point mort. Ainsi, il est possible d'actionner les deux cames de deux bornes juxtaposées et de maintenir les deux étriers en position ouverte. Cet étrier 13 comporte également deux logements 7,8 destinés à recevoir respectivement deux conducteurs, lesdits logements étant alignés suivant une direction s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan P de fixation de l'appareil. A l'intérieur de chacun de ces logements 7,8 est placée une lame ressort 18,19 sensiblement en forme de S, chaque lame ressort étant en appui par l'une 20,21 de ses parties d'extrémité dite première, sur une partie fixe dite seconde 24,31 de la plage de raccordement, et par sa partie d'extrémité opposée 22,23, dite seconde, sur une partie fixe dite première 24,31 de la plage de raccordement de l'appareil.The connecting device according to this preferred embodiment described herein of the invention allows for this double connection (or disconnection) and comprises a stirrup-
A cet effet, l'étrier 13 comporte en regard de chacune des lame-ressorts, une échancrure 25,26 destinée à permettre la création d'une portion 27,28 repliée vers l'intérieur de l'appareil, cette portion étant destinée à venir en appui sur la partie d'extrémité dite première 20,21 de la lame ressort correspondante, de manière à permettre la compression de la lame ressort par l'étrier.For this purpose, the

Chacune des lame-ressorts est placée et dimensionnée à l'intérieur de l'appareil par rapport à l'orifice d'introduction du conducteur correspondant et par rapport à l'étrier, de telle manière que lorsque le levier 14 à came 15 est en position ouverte tel qu'illustré sur les
Ainsi, en fonctionnement, lorsque le levier 14 à came 15 est en position fermée tel qu'illustré sur les
Lors du passage du levier de la position ouverte à la position fermée, la came libère la pression sur les lame-ressorts, lesquelles repoussent l'étrier vers le haut, c'est-à-dire vers le levier.When the lever moves from the open position to the closed position, the cam releases the pressure on the leaf springs, which push the caliper upward, that is to say toward the lever.
On a donc réalisé selon l'invention un dispositif de raccordement permettant le raccordement électrique à un appareil de protection électrique d'auxiliaires standards comportant des conducteurs rigides destinés à être reliés habituellement aux bornes de l'appareil au moyen d'un système à vis.Thus, according to the invention, a connection device has been made which makes it possible to electrically connect standard auxiliaries with rigid conductors which are usually connected to the terminals of the apparatus by means of a screw system.

L'invention permet également de maintenir tous les systèmes élastiques ouverts de manière à pouvoir redémonter l'auxiliaire facilement et rapidement du fait que l'invention permet de retirer tous les conducteurs en même temps. L'invention s'applique avantageusement à tout appareil nécessitant de raccorder des conducteurs de petite section.The invention makes it possible to connect one or two conductors quickly. The invention also makes it possible to keep all the elastic systems open so as to be able to restart the auxiliary easily and quickly because the invention makes it possible to remove all the conductors at the same time. The invention is advantageously applicable to any apparatus requiring the connection of conductors of small section.
L'invention s'applique en particulier à des disjoncteurs ayant au moins deux poles, Par exemple des disjoncteurs tripolaire et tétrapolaire./The invention applies in particular to circuit breakers having at least two poles, for example three-pole and four-pole circuit breakers.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisations décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given by way of example.
