Definitions
- This invention relates to the technical field of electrical devices or apparatuses and, more particularly, relates to a terminal for electrical spring connection for an electrical device or apparatus.
- electrical devices or apparatuses of the above type include, for example, electrical sockets and plugs, electrical control switches installable on a wall, electrical control switches installable in industrial or domestic electrical panels, and so on.
- a terminal for electrical spring connection belonging to the prior art typically comprises a metal frame, adapted to function as an electricity busbar, which is housed in a main body made of electrically insulating material of an electrical device or apparatus.
- an assembly Inside the metal frame, there is usually provided an assembly through opening through which is inserted a leaf spring for locking one or more electrical conductors to the terminal for electrical spring connection.
- This leaf spring normally comprises one or more arms to hold against the metal frame the one or more electrical conductors to be connected.
- the aforesaid terminal for electrical spring connection described with reference to the known technique is not free from defects.
- such terminal for electrical spring connection does not always allow obtaining a high hold of the electrical conductor and thus an acceptable electrical conduction between the electrical conductor and metal frame, for example due to the fact that these latter are in contract with each other for only a portion, often small, of the electrical conductor.
- the assembly of such a terminal for electrical spring connection can be more complex and, therefore, not as fast, because of the need to insert and attach the leaf spring into the respective mounting opening with which the metal frame is provided. This drawback is most felt in the particular case in which the assembly is not performed manually but by machine.
- the purpose of this invention is to devise and make available a terminal for electrical spring connection that allows eliminating, at least partially, the drawbacks complained about above with reference to the known technique, which is at the same time easier to assemble but such as to guarantee an optimal electrical conductivity.

- the first support wall 14 extends along a plane substantially orthogonal to the second reference plane P'.
- the spring 3 also comprises a third support wall 18 extending parallel to the second reference plane P' defined by the second support wall 15.
- the third support wall 18 is joined to the second support wall 15 via the first support wall 14.
- the third support wall 18 comprises a central free end 18' and a pair of side free ends 18".
- the central free end 18' is disposed between the pair of side free ends 18".
- each free end of the pair of side free ends 18" substantially flat, is bent towards the second support wall 15 and lies on a respective plane inclined with respect to the second reference plane P'.

- first reference plane P defined by the support wall 5 of the conductive element 2 is parallel to the second reference plane P' defined by the second support wall 15 of the leaf spring 3.
- the free end 11 (in particular, the contact portion 11') of said at least one first contact arm 10 of the leaf spring 3 is facing the upper contact portion 8' of said at least one first side wall 6 of the conductive element 2 while the free end 13 (in particular, the contact portion 13') of the second contact arm 12 of the leaf spring 3 faces the upper contact portion 9' of the second side wall 7 of the conductive element 2.
- the central free end 18' of the third support wall 18 of the leaf spring 3 is disposed between the upper contact portion 8' of said at least one first side wall 6 of the conductive element 2 and the upper contact portion 9' of the second side wall 7 of the conductive element 2.
- the terminal for electrical spring connection 1 comprises a housing of insulating material (not shown in the figures), for example plastic, adapted to contain both the conductive element 2 and the leaf spring 3.
- the terminal for electrical spring connection 1 also comprises a lever mechanism 19 operatively connected to the housing made of insulating material.
- the lever mechanism 19 in response to a pressure by an installer, is configured to exert a pressure on said at least one first contact arm 10 (and on the second contact arm 12) of the leaf spring 3 so as to allow the insertion of said at least one electrical conductor W (and the further electrical conductor Y) between said at least one conductive element 2 and the leaf spring 3.
- lever mechanism 19 after being released by the installer, is configured to allow the locking of said at least one electrical conductor W (and the further electrical conductor Y) between said conductive element 2 and the leaf spring 3 following the pressure exerted by said at least one first contact arm 10 (and by the second contact arm 12 of the leaf spring 3).
- the thrust exerted by said at least one first contact arm 10 of the leaf spring 3 on said at least one electrical conductor W allows obtaining the contact of said at least one electrical conductor W against both the first upper contact portion 8' and against the second upper contact portion 8" of the free end 8 of said at least one first side wall 6 of the conductive element 2.
- the at least one electrical conductor W is retained in a bent configuration having a first bend away from the second support wall 15 of the leaf spring 3 (to the left in Figure 15 ) and a second bend toward the second support wall 15 of the leaf spring 3 (towards the right in Figure 15 ).
- the bent conformation advantageously allows obtaining at least two contact points between said at least one electrical conductor W and the terminal 1, thus increasing the hold.
- a first contact point C1 is obtained in correspondence of the first bend and is represented by the upper edge of the second lower contact end 8" of the free end 8 of said at least one first side wall 6 of the conductive element 2.
- a second contact point C2 is obtained in correspondence of the second bend and is represented by the contact portion 11' of the free end 11 of said at least one first contact arm 11 of the leaf spring 3.
- the rounded shape of the contact portion 11' advantageously allows increasing the number of strands of said at least one electrical conductor W that can come into contact with the leaf spring 3.
- first contact point C1 and the second contact point C2 are in correspondence of different points of the at least one electrical conductor W advantageously allows increasing the hold of the electrical conductor and the distribution of shear stresses, one on the leaf spring 3 and one on the conductive element 2.
- Another significant advantage linked to the bent configuration in which is held the at least one electrical conductor W, regards the stripping length of the electrical conductor W (Y), or the portion of the electrical conductor without the respective insulating coating W' (Y'), intended to be inserted and locked in the terminal for electrical spring connection 1 of the electrical device 100.
- the Applicant has noted that the first cut (first contact point C1), with respect to the edge of the insulating coating W', is located at a minimum distance of about 3.5 mm while the second cut (second contact point C2), with respect to the edge of the insulating coating W', is located at a minimum distance of about 5 mm.
- the minimum stripping length required in this case is about 5 mm, possibly increased up to about 7 mm in the case of application of the terminal for electrical spring connection 1 in an electrical power device, in which electrical conductors or cables of 2.5 mm 2 are also used.
- installers are used to stripping by "eye", i.e., without making any measurements of stripping length.
- the installer would wire a conductor or electric cable with a risk of disconnecting of the same.
- the installer has available an electrical device 100 (outlet), such as a SCHUKO type power outlet like the one shown in Figure 1 , previously assembled by the supplier.
- an electrical device 100 output
- SCHUKO type power outlet like the one shown in Figure 1
- the electrical device 100 comprises a terminal for internal electrical spring connection 1 described above.
- the installer also has available said at least one electrical conductor W and the further electrical conductor Y for wiring the said electrical device 100.
- the installer removes the insulating coating (W, Y) from said at least one electrical conductor W and further electrical conductor Y in order to obtain a minimum stripping length of about 5 mm (for cables used in power devices, it is preferable to obtain and guarantee a minimum stripping length of about 7 mm).
- the installer activates the lever mechanism 19 to exert a pressure on said at least one first contact arm 10 (and on the second contact arm 12) of the leaf spring 3 so as to allow the insertion of said at least one electrical conductor W and the further electrical conductor Y between said at least one conductive element 2 and the leaf spring 3.
- said at least one electrical conductor W and further electrical conductor Y are inserted in correspondence of, respectively, the free end 8 of said at least one first side wall 6 of the conductive element 2 and the free end 9 of the second side wall 7 of the conductive element 2.
- the installer releases the lever mechanism 19 so as to lock said at least one electrical conductor W and the further electrical conductor Y between said conductive element 2 and the leaf spring 3 following the pressure exerted by said at least one first contact arm 10 and by the second contact arm 12 of the leaf spring 3.
- said at least one electrical conductor W and further electrical conductor Y in turn exert a pressure, respectively, on the free end 8 of said at least one first side wall 6 of the conductive element 2 and the free end 9 of the second side wall 7 of the conductive element 2.
- each electrical conductor is housed inside of the containment profile of the first upper contact portion (8', 9') of the free end (8, 9) of said at least one first side wall 6 and of the second side wall 7 of the conductive element 2.
- each electrical conductor is advantageously distributed on the contact profile 11', 13' present on the free end 11', 13' of each contact arm 10, 12 of the leaf spring 3.
- the wiring of the electrical device 100 by the installer is finished.
- the purpose of the invention is fully achieved since, as mentioned earlier, the terminal for electrical spring connection according to this invention, the light of the conformation of the conductive element (conductive frame or terminal block), allows a greater ease of assembly and wiring of the terminal, requires a more rapid stripping of the electrical conductors (minimum length stripping reduced) and ensures a high hold of the electrical conductor or cable inserted in the terminal, consequently allowing the use of lever mechanisms that are softer to operate.
