Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multiple electrical socket (or "multistandard” socket), namely an electrical socket which allows the alternate connection of two or more different types of plug for connection to the electricity mains.
  • this socket may also be of the modular type, namely of the type which can be engaged in a special mounting frame in the installation, where necessary in combination with other complementary, modular, electrical parts.
  • plugs of this type are so-called “Italian plugs” with three pins in line, the central one of which being the earth pin, and so-called “European plugs” with only two pins and no earth.
  • One of the problems in the design of these multiple sockets is that of preventing the parts indispensable for engagement with the first type of plug accepted by the multiple socket from interfering with the parts indispensable for engagement with the second type of plug accepted by the multiple socket and vice versa.
  • the resilient earth contact elements of the sockets of the first type define a precise space for receiving the first type of plug.
  • the plug of the second type must therefore also be seated inside this space, without there being any undesirable interference with these resilient elements or, worse still, without said resilient elements being accidentally damaged and/or distorted during the operations for inserting and removing a plug of the second type.
  • the corresponding specific sockets have quite different dimensions such that two sockets of the second type could be arranged in the space occupied by a socket of the first type.
  • the socket of the first type occupies the space of two standard modules, while the socket of the second type occupies the space of only one standard module.
  • the overall size is determined by the larger size socket and therefore, when mounting a multiple socket in an installation (for example with wall-mounted boxes and mounting frame for modular sockets), in the space which usually can accommodate two sockets of the smaller type, it is possible to mount only one single multiple socket which is able to accommodate in turn only one plug of one or the other type.
  • This not only may produce an undesirable interference between the resilient elements and the plugs of the second type, but, during the design stage, also prevents a reduction in the relative distance between the resilient elements in the rest condition, for example in order to increase the contact force between these resilient elements and the contact surfaces of the plug of the first type, or in order to compensate for possible dimensional tolerances associated with production or wear of the plug of the first type.
  • the resilient contact elements are generally formed by means of metal tongues with their free end slightly inwardly curved and directed towards the direction of insertion of the plugs, a further problem which may arise with an arrangement of the plugs of the second type close to the resilient elements is that the free end of the resilient elements may come up against the front part of body of the plug of the second type when the plug is pushed during insertion into the socket, preventing insertion and/or detaching the resilient elements.
  • each resilient element may not either be extended and curved more towards the outside in order to prevent interference, since in this case the resilient elements (which are pushed outwards by the corresponding plug so as to provide the required contact force) would protrude excessively from the sides of the socket when a plug of the first type is inserted therein. This could, for example, cause the ends of the resilient elements to interfere with the adjacent parts of the socket support frame or with other sockets or devices situated alongside it.
  • the general object of the present invention is to provide a multiple socket which is able to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art and which is able to accommodate sockets of the first type and second type, avoiding, for example, undesirable interference with and between the resilient elements necessary for the plugs of the first type.
  • a multiple electrical socket comprising an engaging area intended to receive alternately a first type of plug and at least one second type of plug, the engaging area comprising a first series of holes and at least one second series holes, said first and second series of holes being intended for the axial insertion therein of pins respectively of plugs of the first and second plug types for electrical contact between socket and plug, edges of said engaging area also being provided with two resilient electrical contact earth elements projecting above the engaging area for electrical contact with corresponding lateral earth terminals of the first type of plug, characterized in that it comprises, underneath the engaging area, movements means which are actuated by the insertion of a plug of the second type into the corresponding series of holes and that, when actuated, they move at least one of said resilient elements towards the outside of the engaging area.
  • Figure 1 shows a multiple socket according to the invention, denoted generally by 10.
  • the socket 10 comprises an engaging area 11 intended to receive alternately a plug of the first plug type (namely with lateral earth contacts) or at least one plug of the second type (namely without lateral earth contacts and with or without earth pins), as will be clarified below.
  • the first type of plug may be of the type known as a "Schuko plug” and the second type of plug may be a plug of the so-called “Italian” or “European” type, or variants thereof such as the type-J plugs with staggered earth pin and used for example in Switzerland or Brazil.
  • the engaging area has a surface which is inset in the front of the socket, as is known for ensuring electrical safety and mechanical engagement with the plugs of the first type.
  • the multiple socket shown in Figure 1 is advantageously of the modular type, namely is formed as a module for engagement with other parts in an electrical installation, but may also be designed for separate use or for use in electrical apparatus, as may be easily imagined by the person skilled in the art.
  • the socket may form part of a multiple socket, namely a device provided with a plurality of sockets arranged alongside each other for mobile use or use in a fixed installation.
  • the socket 10 may comprise advantageously a box-like container 12 with the engaging area 11 situated on a first front face thereof, coupling means 13 which are intended to be coupled together with a support frame and which are arranged on sides of the container situated laterally in relation to said first face, and electrical connection terminals 14 which are arranged in the region of a rear face of the container opposite to the first face.
  • the coupling means 13 may be of any known type (for example teeth or seats for the interlocking engagement of complementary elastic lugs) used for the assembly of modular parts of an electrical installation.
  • the modular form and the coupling means may be designed in accordance with any range of modular electrical components, such that a socket designed according to the invention may form part of this range.
  • Figure 2 shows in schematic form by way of example the socket 10 with a modular design inserted inside a special frame 15 for mounting the socket together with other modular components of the installation (in the figure a known single socket module indicated by 16 is shown).
  • the frame 15 may be a frame which is known per se and intended for example to be mounted on a flush-mounted box (not shown) by means of screws or other known fixing means.
  • Figure 2 also shows schematically in broken lines the plan-view outlines of a plug 70 of the first type and plugs 74 of the second type, which can be housed inside the socket as will be clarified below.
  • the engaging area 10 comprises a first series of holes 17 (for example two holes) and at least one second series of holes 18 (for example three holes).
  • the first series of holes 17 is intended for the axial insertion of pins of plugs of the first type, while the second series of holes is intended for the axial insertion of pins of a plug of the second type.
  • the edges of the engaging area 11 are provided with two resilient elements 19, 20 forming an electrical earth contact projecting above the engaging area for making electrical contact with corresponding lateral earth terminals of the first type of plug.
  • each resilient element is formed with a resilient metal tongue having ends which are slightly inwardly curved and which resiliently flex towards the outside of the engaging area.
  • the resilient elements are arranged in diametrically opposite positions of the engaging area and the first series of holes extends in a direction transverse to the line which joins together the two resilient elements.
  • This joining line also represents advantageously the direction of resilient movement of the two resilient elements 19, 20.
  • the holes of the first series are two in number (17a and 17b) and arranged centrally between the tongues.
  • the holes of the second series are aligned in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the tongues. Moreover, these holes are preferably three in number, with the lateral holes 18a and 18b intended for the power supply connection and the central hole 18c intended for the electrical earth connection.
  • the second series of holes consist of two series of holes 18, each series being close to one of the resilient elements 19 and 20.
  • Each series 18 is intended to receive a flat plug of the second plug type, as will be clarified below.
  • the engaging area is advantageously designed with a generally square shape and with suitable dimensions for the sockets to be mounted, albeit inset in the front face of the socket.
  • the second series of holes forms a per se known double-spaced socket for receiving plugs of the second of type with different distances between the pins.
  • the lateral holes 18a and 18b may be designed so as to receive the lateral pins for 16A or 10A sockets, having corresponding interaxial distances of 26 mm and 19 mm and pin diameters of 5 mm and 4 mm.
  • a European or Italian type plug without earth may also be inserted in these holes.
  • Movement means 21 are provided underneath the engaging area 11 and are designed to be actuated by the insertion of a plug of the second type inside the corresponding series of holes and, when actuated, move at least one of said resilient elements 19, 20 towards the outside of the engaging area. For example, in the case of two second series of holes, the insertion of a plug into one of these second series of holes causes the movement outwards of the closest resilient elements 19, 20.
  • Figure 3 shows an advantageous embodiment of the movement means 21 associated with a resilient element 19, 20.
  • the means 21 comprise an actuating element 22 which is movable between a first non-operative position (shown in solid lines in Figure 3 ) and a second operative position (shown in broken lines).
  • the movement towards the operative position may be advantageously performed against the action of resilient means 23 (for example helical springs) which are suitably arranged.
  • the movement of the resilient element occurs by means of flexing of said element.
  • This flexing action may be substantially the same action (although also of a different amount) as that which is produced by the contact with a plug of the first type introduced into the socket 10. This may avoid excess stressing of the resilient elements.
  • Displacement of the actuating element is preferably performed by means of a cam surface 24 which is provided on the element 22 and arranged opposite at least one hole of the said second series of holes 18 such that it is pushed towards the second position by the introduction of a pin 75 of a plug of the second type inside the hole 18.
  • the actuating element may form of or be associated with a safety device for the second series of holes.
  • This safety device is arranged between the inlet openings and the electrical contacts of the holes so as to prevent the accidental introduction of a foreign body (for example, a pointed metal object or a child's finger) inside the holes and contact being made with the internal electrical connections.
  • the safety device is advantageously movable between a position for closing and a position for opening the holes (in at least one of the holes there is a dangerous electrical voltage) and the movement into the open position may be advantageously produced by the simultaneous introduction of at least two pins of the plug. This action may be easily associated with the movement of the actuating element 22 which exerts a pushing force on the resilient contact element 19 or 20.
  • Figure 4 shows an advantageous embodiment of the socket according to the invention, in which the safety device comprises a bar 25 which is arranged so as to close at least two holes (those which are generally live) of the said second series of holes and which is slidable between the positions for closing and opening the holes.
  • the safety device comprises a bar 25 which is arranged so as to close at least two holes (those which are generally live) of the said second series of holes and which is slidable between the positions for closing and opening the holes.
  • the bar comprises advantageously at least two cam surfaces 26, 27 which are arranged opposite the at least two holes so as to be pushed sliding towards the opening position by the simultaneous introduction of two pins of a plug of the second type in said at least two holes.
  • the bar may comprise a rocker arm system which prevents the movement if the pushing force through the two holes is not substantially the same and symmetrical.
  • the bar may form a lever with fulcrum in the centre and have on each bottom end a tooth 28 which engages underneath and blocks the sliding movement if the corresponding end of the bar is lower than the other end (in the direction of insertion of the pins).
  • a symmetrical thrust exerted by the two pins on the two cam surfaces 26 and 27 of the bar keeps the bar balanced and allows the sliding opening movement.
  • the cam surfaces are three in number (one for each pin of a three-pin plug) and all three push the bar into the open position.
  • the central surface may, however, also not be present when the hole is for the earth pin, since it does not require electrical protection from accidental contact, and may be replaced by a through-hole which is always open.
  • the actuating element 22 for displacement of the resilient element extends transversely with respect to its direction of movement so as to form also the bar 25.
  • the movement for safe opening of the holes may be made to coincide with the outwards displacement of the contact elements 19 and 20, and the cam surface 24 may be designed together with, or comprise, the cam surfaces 26 and 27.
  • the introduction of a plug of the second type thus produces release of the safety system and displacement of the earth contacts 19 and/or 20.
  • each series may easily have its associated bar for the displacement of the contact earth element which is closest, by designing for example a socket which forms a mirror-image with respect to a plane passing through the central holes intended for engagement with the first type of plug.
  • a safety device 29 may also be provided for the first series of holes, being also movable between a position for closing and a position for opening the holes of the said first series of holes upon simultaneous introduction into the holes of at least two pins of a plug of the first plug type.
  • this device 29 comprises a propeller element 30 which rotates about a central axis parallel to the axis of the pins following the simultaneous thrust of the two pins of a plug of the first type in the direction of engagement with the socket.
  • the rotation is advantageously performed by two oppositely directed cam surfaces 31, 32 which produce the rotational thrust upon insertion of two pins into the holes 17.
  • a rocker arm movement about the centre of the propeller element 30 may be envisaged in a similar manner to that described for the bars 25, so as to block rotation of the element 30 (for example by means of teeth, not shown, situated underneath the propeller element) in the case of a non-symmetrical thrust acting on the two cam surfaces 30 and 31.
  • Figure 6 shows an exploded view of an advantageous modular structure of a socket according to the invention.
  • the socket 10 comprises rear plastic casing 50 which is closed by a front plastic cover 51 so as to form the box-like container 12.
  • the engagement between rear casing and cover may be advantageously achieved by known elastic snap-engaging means.
  • the cover 51 forms the front face which comprises the inset engaging area 11 and the inlet openings of the contact holes.
  • Electrical contact assemblies 52, 53 and 54 are housed inside the casing 50 (as shown in broken lines in Figure 6 ) so as to emerge on the outside of the casing with their electrical terminals 55, 56, 57 (which together form the known terminals 14 shown in Figure 1 arranged for example on the sides and rear of the socket module).
  • each contact assembly is formed by a single shaped metal plate, parallel to the other two plates, which forms all the electrical contacts of the same sign for the pins which can be accommodated inside the multiple socket.
  • the central assembly 52 forms with its ends folded upwards the tongue-like contact elements 19 and 20 and intermediate contacts 58, 59 which are intended to receive elastically the earth pins of the two plugs of the second type which can be accommodated inside the multiple socket shown by way of example.
  • the assemblies 53 and 54 may be advantageously designed identical to each other and rotated through 180 degrees on both sides of the central earth assembly 52.
  • the design of the contacts is made easier owing to the fact that the holes in the engaging area for receiving the three plugs are parallel and aligned with each other, the central hole for the second type of plug being intended for the electrical earth connection and being positioned close to one of the resilient earth electrical contacts.
  • the actuating element and the safety devices may be contained inside an associated support box formed preferably by a base 61 and a closing cover 62 suitably provided with holes through which the pins may pass.
  • the safety devices thus form partitions for closing/opening the through-holes 76 of the support box.
  • a robust and efficient safety unit or system 60 is thus formed, preventing the introduction of foreign bodies into the socket and causing at the same time displacement of the earth contact elements.
  • the safety system 60 may be housed so as to be arranged between the electrical contacts associated with the holes and openings 63 in the engaging area which are intended to receive the pins introduced into the socket so as to reach the electrical contacts associated with the holes.
  • the actuating elements 22 advantageously emerge via windows 64 and 65 open laterally on the body of the safety unit 60 for receiving and guiding upwards a bottom part of the resilient elements 19 and 20 (which project from the surface of the engaging area 11 through windows 66, 67), so as to perform with a suitable lever action the outward movement thereof caused by the introduction of a pin of the second type into the corresponding holes 18.
  • Figure 7 illustrates in schematic form the insertion of a plug of the first type (indicated generally by 70 in broken lines) inside a socket according to the invention (for the sake of clarity shown only partially).
  • the earth contacts 19, 20 slide along the lateral electrical contacts 71 and 72 present on the plug 70, while the two central pins 73 are inserted inside the electrical contacts (not shown in the figure) of the respective holes 17.
  • the plug is shown in broken lines and the safety element 30 is shown in the rest position.
  • Figure 8 shows, instead, a view similar to that of Figure 7 , but illustrates in schematic form the introduction of two plugs of the second type (indicated generally by 74) inside a socket according to the invention.
  • the deviation produced by the movement means 21 may therefore also be supplemented by the sliding action of the plug body on the curved end parts of the contact elements, which are advantageously curved outwards precisely so as to form a sliding surface with a cam effect for their outwards deflection when a plug passes by.
  • a socket designed according to the principles of the present invention is able to accommodate plugs of the first or second type, optimizing the space and avoiding excessive interference between the resilient earth contact elements of the plug of the first type with the plug (or plugs) of the second type.
  • a socket according to the invention may be easily adapted and used in an installation for distribution of the mains power supply.
  • the resilient contact thrust of the resilient earth elements projecting above the engaging zone may also be increased (for example by reducing their distance from each other) so as to improve the electrical contact with the plugs of the first type, without problems of excessive friction, wear or damage to the plugs of the second type.
  • the earth contact elements may also have their free end part which is kept suitably short, without causing problems of jamming with the plugs of the second type. An excessive lateral projection when engaged is thus avoided.
