  • There are known type "E" or type "F" electrical power outlets provided with two extractors for a power plug - each of these having a body provided with a portion having an impression - operated by the user with two fingers of a hand, one of the fingers being the opposable finger, and mounted into a cover, so that one or two anterior triangular lamellas thereof, each having a long active surface, inclined to an angle of 35...45°, forming a wedge, can penetrate through some slots machined in a cylindrical wall, which delimit a receiving enclosure, in the latter, in order to extract the plug from the enclosure, the extractors movement having as a consequence the advance, where appropriate, of the lamella/lamellas of each extractor along one or two open channel(s), machined in a lower wall, which delimits the receiving enclosure, and in which there are also machined two through holes, for the access of some plug terminals, in the continuation of the long portion of the lamella there being located a front lower short flat portion which is permanently located in the open channel, when the plug is introduced into the receiving enclosure the lamellas being displaced towards the outer side thereof, the extractors being blocked against their coming out from the cover by means of some lower lateral prominences, with which they are provided - RO patent no. 121499 B1 .
  • The disadvantages of these power outlets described in FR 2 934 721 A1 and in RO 121499 B1 consist in that:
    • in case the material the plug body consists of is flexible, the plug extraction from the receiving enclosure requires a relatively high effort, due to the deformation of the outline of the front surface of the plug following contacts thereof with the active surfaces of the lamellas, and in time this deformation becomes remanent, there also taking place a relative increase of the extraction time;
    • it is required the application of a relatively high force upon initiating the plug extraction and upon initiating the plug insertion from/into the receiving enclosure, respectively, as a consequence of the fact that the active surfaces of the lamellas form, along their whole length, a same angle with the horizontal;
    • in case the material from which the plug body is made is rigid, such as ceramics or rigid polyvinyl chloride, there takes place an appreciable impairment of the active surfaces of the lamellas, as a consequence of their contacts with the outline of the plug lower surface.
  • There are known type "F" electrical power outlets with extractor for a plug, configured in the form of an adaptor, which are made of some semi-casings, which, when assembled form a "T"-shaped hollow casing, one of the three arms being a power plug, and in each of the other two arms, that is one in the extension of the other, there being placed, in each case, a main body, provided with a tall profiled wall delimiting a receiving enclosure, closed to the lower side by a separating middle wall, wherein there are machined two through holes - in front of which there are arranged some lamellas of an electric contact - and - two diametrically opposed lateral slots, respectively, and in the profiled wall there are provided two open longitudinal channels, lengthwise of which there may slide for mounting and operation, respectively, a platform of an extractor which consists of a thin disc continued on the outline with two fins that are arranged parallel to each other and on the same side of the disc, each fin being provided with a guiding rib, which at a lower end has an outer short resilient lamella, placed perpendicular to the rib in order to permanently maintain the platform in the main body, these guiding ribs being positioned in the longitudinal channels, between the fins, in the center of the platform there being mounted an uncompressed spring, which is placed into a blind hole machined in the middle wall, the fins having some long attack surfaces, each of them inclined by an angle of 30°, in the disc there being provided two through holes placed in front of the through holes machined in the middle wall, in front of the platform there is mounted an upper extractor, consisting of an outer wall, correspondingly profiled in order to be operated manually with one finger by a user, continued with a positioning wall in relation to another positioning wall of another upper extractor, constructively identical with the mentioned one, this positioning wall being continued with two narrow fins, arranged parallel to each other, each fin having a guide to the outer side, and an upper wall thereof having a short surface of attack with a 60° inclination, and between the fins, to the upper side, there being mounted another uncompressed spring, the upper extractors are mounted in a cutout delimited by another profiled wall, said cutout being machined in the upper semi-casing, so that the positioning walls of the narrow fins are in contact, and for extracting the plug in contact with the platform disc, the profiled wall of the corresponding extractor being operated manually, by pressing, that has as a consequence the contact between the inclined surfaces of attack of the fins and, of the extractor, respectively, and the movement along some rectangular directions of the platform, so that the plug is taken out from the electric contact - Prospect "Fiche multiprise 2P + t2 sorties laterales avec bouchon" Legrand [050637], www.confort - electrique.fr.
  • The disadvantages of these power outlets consist in that they have a relatively complicated construction and a difficult mounting, necessitating an initial lubrication of the guiding paths and of the surfaces of attack, respectively, which in time, as the lubricant is diminished and aged, makes the running more and more cumbersome, and the overall dimension of the semi-casings is relatively high due to the dimensions of the platforms and extractors which perform the plug extraction, and maintaining the platform in the main body, after a possible contact with a hard surface following an accidental fall, is uncertain, due to the fragile construction of the resilient short lamella, imposed by the relatively small available space.
  • There are known type "C" electrical power outlets with extractor for a plug, which consist of a socket, wherein some electrical contact lamellas are mounted, and of a cover, respectively, said cover covering both a box having the socket arranged therein and the socket as well, the cover being provided with a tall cylindrical wall, which delimits, together with a lower wall, a receiving enclosure, in the lower wall there being machined two through holes, for inserting/taking out some terminals of the plug therethrough, as well as a cutout in communication with a window, provided in a middle wall, located to the outer side of the tall wall, which delimits it on a portion, the cutout being delimited to the lower side, partially, by a hollow portion of the middle wall, which has an outer threshold, in front of the portion in the tall wall which delimits the window, in the body there being provided two guides closed to the upper side, through which, in the window there is positioned an extractor having in its turn two fins, which penetrate into the guides, limiting the upward exit of the extractor, the latter having a lower arm provided with a cutout, wherein there penetrates an outer inclined end of a lever placed, in its turn, into the cutout, said lever being provided in front of the threshold with a lower projection, around which there takes place the lever displacement in relation to the hollow portion in which, partially, the lever is arranged, which at rest is at the level of the middle wall - "AKCENT Gniazdo pojedyncze z wyrzutnikiem wtyczki, bioly", SZUKAJ GP - 1AW www.epolmark.pl.
  • The disadvantages of these power outlets consist in that, in time, there occur residual lever deformations, that leads to an incomplete extraction of the plug and as a consequence of the active lever end contact with the central zone of a plug, made of a flexible material, there occurs a deformation of this zone which leads to reducing the lever stroke with unwanted implications upon the total extraction of the plug, which has the consequence of increasing the pushing force value and increasing the extraction time, under the conditions in which the extractor operation is rendered uncomfortable by the upper surface of the body which delimits the window, that has a relatively reduced dimension for the access and positioning the finger used by the user for operation.
  • There are known type "E" movable multiple power outlets with plug extractor, with three posts, and with an extractor-free post, respectively, each post with extractor being constituted of some semi-bodies, namely some semi-bodies hollow to the lower side and some semi-bodies hollow to the upper side, respectively, which assembled together form a main body, the lower one being provided to the inner side, with some long thin pads located on one side of a long threshold, having some pairs of prominences profiled at the upper side, as well as some short thick pads located to the other side of the threshold, in this mentioned last side there being also provided some pairs of short thin pads making one piece with the threshold and having the same height as the short thick pads, and the upper semi-body being provided with some main receiving enclosures, delimited by a cylindrical wall that has some equally spaced apart lower stoppers, each cylindrical wall being partly surrounded by a portion of the same geometrical shape, which belongs to a tall profiled wall that delimits a secondary receiving enclosure, between two tall profiled walls there being placed a tall support provided with two spaced apart lower thickened portions, each having a blind hole delimited by a wall with thread, in front of each main receiving enclosure there being placed a partially hollow body, wherein there are mounted some resilient lamellas, for the electric contact, which are integral with one another by means of three long lamellas for the power supply and earthing, respectively, the latter being continued with an upper terminal, in each body there being mounted a children protection device provided with two through holes for the access of the two plug terminals, in each main receiving enclosure there being introduced a platform which has an upper thin disc provided with three through holes corresponding to the said three terminals and with two diametrically opposed lower lateral arms, respectively, each arm having a guiding lug, that is placed in a channel machined in the main body, so that in each lug there is placed a profiled end of an arm belonging to a fork-like lever, that further has a middle axis joining the arms and that is placed in two supports of the main body, the arms being joined to the front side by a profiled bridge, mounted in some other lugs of some lower short arms of an extractor, between the short arms there being provided a hollow cylindrical support, wherein there is placed a spring in contact with a long thin pad, in each secondary receiving enclosure there being arranged an extractor, that, in front of its arms has a retaining collar in the secondary receiving enclosure, the thick pads having the role of maintaining the partially hollow bodies in position, for this purpose, each has a pair of central prominences, in connection with some electrical supply conductors there being mounted a switch, and opposite thereto the long supply lamellas being connected to the extractor-free post, on the upper semi-body, partially, there being arranged a mask cut out in front of the secondary receiving enclosures, having two long marginal pads penetrated by a channel, delimited by a threaded wall, for securing, by means of some screws, the semi-bodies between them, said semi-bodies being also secured by means of other four screws, at rest and/or during the power supply, the thin disc being positioned at the lower side of the main receiving enclosure, being in contact with the lower stoppers - "Rallonge multiprise 4 prises 2P+T avec bouton poussoir", Legrand [050096], www.confort-electrique.fr.

  • The power outlet according to the invention, in this constructive variant, may be simple or double, situation in which the embodiment is presented for a type "F" double power outlet, illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 and it consists of a socket A to which there is secured a cover B having mounted therein two extractors C for each post - all these being known per se - having the role of extracting a plug D, to which there is attached an independent self-sticker platform - according to the invention - from the electric contact. The socket A has a body 1 wherein there are placed some lamellar electric contacts and some securing jaws are mounted, respectively, in a box positioned and secured in a wall, situation known per se, not represented in the figures. To the socket A there is demountably fixed the cover B whose body 2 has a cylindrical wall a which delimits a receiving enclosure b and in which there are machined two elongate slots, arranged diametrically opposed, or four elongate slots arranged two by two, diametrically opposed in front of which in body 2 there are provided some recesses c, diametrically opposed, each delimited by a profiled lower wall d. In each recess c there is placed an extractor C whose body 3 has a portion e provided with a profiled impression for the contact with a finger of a hand and a portion f, respectively, said portion may have one or two lamellas g. In this last case the two lamellas g are arranged parallel to each other and have a wedge-shaped long straight active surface h forming and angle of 35°...45° to the horizontal.
  • A body 4 of the plug D may be manufactured of any plastic material that is a good dieletric, such as rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible polyvinyl chloride or ceramics and in this there are secured two metal terminals 5 and 6.
  • Thus, the rigidity of the body 4 may be lower or higher than that of the plastic material from which there is manufactured the body 3 of the extractor C that has the lamellas g.
  • In order to carry out an extraction of the plug D from the enclosure b in a relatively short time, with a pressure force exerted with two fingers of a hand, applied to the extractors C with a relatively small value and with a variation thereof in time, during the whole extraction duration, without deteriorating the body 4 or the lamellas g, to a lower surface i of the body 4, the self-sticker platform E is attached.
  • The platform E has a flat profiled body 7 following an external contour j of the surface i and that is provided with two external prominences k located diametrically opposed, that are within the contour j and are characteristic to the body 4 of the type "F" plug D. Within the body 7 there are provided some cut-outs I located diametrically opposed, staggered in relation to some prominences m by an angle of 90°, and in front thereof, in the body 7 there are machined two through holes n, located to the middle. To an upper surface of the body 7 there is secured a self-sticker double thin layer 8 having a contour of the same shape as the shape of contour j. In the layer 8 there are machined two through holes located in front of the holes n not represented in the figures. The body 7 has on the outline two straight portions p located diametrically opposed, which are convex in the cross section and have the shape of an arc of circle of a 2...6 mm radius, in which, in the middle, there are provided the prominences m. Between the portions p the outline j has the shape of a sphere sector with the large diameter arranged towards the upper side.
  • For a type "E" plug D there is used another self-sticker independent platform F, according to the invention, that has a flat body 9, which follows an external circular outline of the body 4, to which this is attached. In the body 9 there are machined two through holes q, located at the middle, having the centres diametrically opposed, and a peripheral through hole r arranged so that between the centre of the hole r and the centers of holes q there is an angle of 90°. On the upper surface s of the body 9 there is secured a self-sticker double thin layer 10, having a contour of the same shape as that of a contour of the body 9. The latter has an outline surface t having the shape of a sphere sector with the large diameter located in front of the surface s.
  • The hole r may be crossed by an earthing terminal which, subsequently, penetrates into a recess provided in the body 4, situation not represented in the figures.
  • The bodies 7 and 9 are manufactured of a plastic material which is a good dielectric, such as polyamides and, preferably, polypropylene and have a thickness of 1,5...3,0 mm.
  • For a type "C" plug D, not represented in the figures, there may be used, in order to be attached thereto, the platform F, in which situation the terminals 5 and 6 penetrate through the holes q.
  • A leading front short flat portion u of the lamella g is permanently located in an open channel v machined in a lower wall w, which delimits a receiving enclosure b.
  • By attaching one platform E or F to the body 4 of the plug D, the force that is applied for extracting the plug D from the receiving enclosure b or from any other receiving enclosure, wherein there is located a movable piece of an extractor mounted in connection with a power outlet, according to the solutions cited in the previously presented known state of the art, under the conditions in which the platform E or F is in contact with the lamellas g or with the movable piece this is by 10...20% smaller, irrespective of the contact surface, than the force that is applied for extracting the plug D to which a platform E or F is not attached.
  • Under these conditions there also takes place a lowering by 8...18% of the total time for breaking the contact, as against the situation in which the plug D is employed without the existence of the platform E or F.
  • The power outlet according to the invention, in another constructive variant, may be of type "C" or type "E" or type "F"; the embodiment is presented for a simple type "E" power outlet, illustrated in the Figures 7... 17, which consists of a socket A to which there is secured a cover G, wherein there is located and retained a free platform H double-guided laterally, with self-blocking.
  • The cover G consists of a body 11 that has a cylindrical wall x which delimits a receiving enclosure y and wherein there are machined four elongate slots, arranged two by two diametrically opposed. In front of each pair of slots in the body 11 there are provided two recesses z, each delimited by a profiled lower wall a'. In each recess z there is located a bilamellar extractor I, whose body 12 has a portion b' with an external impression and an inner portion c', respectively, said portion being provided with two constructively identical semi-rigid lamellas arranged in parallel to each other.
  • Each lamella d' has an active surface e' consisting of two portions f' and g', namely a lower concave portion and an upper concave portion, joined together by an intermediary, short, convex portion h'. A short lower end i' of the portion f' is located in an open channel j', machined in a lower flat wall k' which delimits the receiving enclosure y. The portions f' and g' are in the shape of arcs of the circle with equal radii, each radius having a value of 10... 15 mm, and the lengths of the chords of the arcs of circle are unequal, the length of the chord of the portion f' being higher than the length of the chord of the portion g' by 15...25%.
  • In the immediate vicinity of the lower end i' of the portion f', the tangent to this forms with a straight line parallel to the lower horizontal edge I' of the lamella d' a lower angle of attack α, having a value of 9...15°, and in the immediate vicinity of the upper end m' of the portion g' the tangent to this makes with a straight line parallel to a vertical edge n' of the lamella d' an upper angle of attack β having a value of 17...23°.
  • The convex portion h' has the shape of an arc of circle with a radius of 2...6 mm and has the constructive role of increasing the resistance of the lamella d', under the conditions in which there exists a cut-out o', located under the portion h', which ensures the displacement on a length of 10...12 mm of the extractor I, maintaining at the same time the elasticity created in portion h', which contributes to relatively reducing the extraction time.
  • The body 12 is provided, in front of the portion b' with two lateral guides p' penetrating into two channels q' machined in the body 11 in front of the recess z.
  • In the cylindrical wall x of the body 11 there are machined four channels r' open towards the receiving enclosure y and closed to the upper side, placed two by two diametrically opposed, wherein there are situated two short profiled fixed guides s' and two movable short profiled guides t'. The guides s' are located to the outer side of a flat body 13 of the platform H and the guides t' are situated to the outer side of a positioning resilient movable flat piece 14. The piece 14 has an outer flat portion u' and a resilient S-shaped inner portion v', respectively, that is placed in a recess w', machined in the body 13 which, for retaining the piece 14, is provided with two guiding open "T"-shaped channels x', located on either side of the recess w', wherein two lateral guides y' of the piece 14 penetrate.
  • The body 13 and the piece 14 which form together a circular outline are provided with one of some positioning profiled prominences z' and a", placed between the guides s' and between the guides t', respectively, and which, by mounting the platform H in the receiving enclosure y, are permanently in contact with the cylindrical wall x. After positioning the platform H in the receiving enclosure y, this may no longer be extracted as a consequence of the fact that the resilient portion v' may no longer be compressed, and the channels r' are closed to the upper side. Inside the receiving enclosure y the platform H can be moved freely and may be positioned to the upper side by means of the extractors I, for maintaining the enclosure y clean and, where appropriate, for the contact with body 4 of the plug D. In this last case for introducing, in a relatively short time, the terminals 5 and 6 through some through holes b" and c", machined in the body 13, on an upper surface d" of the latter, around each of the holes b" and c" there are provided some constructively identical tapered portions e" and f" whose large diameter is 2...3 times higher than the small diameter which coincides with the diameter of the holes b" and c" and that have a depth of 1 ...2 mm.
  • In the body 13 there are also machined a central through hole g" for the access to a screw securing the cover G to the socket A, situation not represented in the figures, and another lateral through hole h", respectively, having the centre staggered by an angle of 90° in relation to the centres of holes b" and c" and located opposite to the piece 14, through which an earthing terminal 15 may penetrate into a recess machined in the body 4, not represented in the figures.
  • On a lower surface i" of the body 12 between the lamellas d' in the portion b' there is machined a blind hole j".
  • Below the body 11 in front of each extractor I there is fixed an interior thin rigid plate 16 together with a resilient lamella 17, both having the same dimensions. The resilient lamella 17 is provided with a pin k" that is located in front of a through hole I" machined in the plate 16. In the situation in which the platform H is positioned to the upper side, closing the enclosure y, in the hole j" there penetrates the pin k" which crosses the hole I", maintaining it in this position, that allows, that in a relatively short time, the terminals 5 and 6 to be introduced through the holes b" and c", there being guided by means of the portions e" and f".
  • The body 13 has two zones m" and n" located diametrically opposed, provided with some active outline surfaces o" and p", each having, in the cross-section the shape of an arc of circle with a 2...6 mm radius, that are in contact with the lamellas d'. The body 13 has a thickness of 2..3 mm.
  • The blocking of each extractor I in the cover G is made by the rigid plate 16 which comes into contact with a rear lower shoulder q" of each lamella d'.
  • In this constructive variant, when the platform H is mounted freely in the receiving enclosure y, the extractors I have the lamellas d' placed in the enclosure y, so that the platform H is situated at the upper side of the enclosure y, situation in which the latter is protected against the ingress of dust or of other foreign bodies. When a plug D made of a plastic material consisting of rigid, semi-rigid or flexible polyvinyl chloride or ceramics has to be introduced into the enclosure y for achieving the electric contact, by the contact of the terminals 5 and 6 with the surface d" of the body 13, these are guided in front of the flared portions e" and f" that facilitates the relatively rapid introduction of the terminals 5 and 6 into the holes b" and c" and as a consequence, there takes place the contact between the plug D and the platform H. By continuing to push the platform H along the channels r' there are moved the guides s' and t', so that the active outer surfaces o" and p", provided in the regions m" and n" of the body 13, that are in contact with the lamellas d', move the latter towards the outer side of the enclosure y, after the stud k" comes out of the blind hole j". While moving the surfaces o" and p' along the active surfaces e' of the lamellas d', there are passed through the concave upper and lower portions g' and f', respectively, that makes the value of the upper angle of attack β to ensure a relatively rapid movement of the extractors I, practically applying the same force up to the total displacement of the lamellas d' from the enclosure y.
  • At the beginning of the extraction of plug D from the enclosure y, as a result of applying, from the outside, by two fingers of a hand - of which one is the opposable finger - a force upon the extractors I, as a consequence of the value of the lower angle of attack α, there takes place a relatively rapid displacement of the lamellas d' towards the inner side of the enclosure y, the value of the pressing force being relatively reduced and maintained to this value up to the convex surface h' of the lamellas positioned in front of the cutout o", so that during the contact of the surfaces o" and p" with this surface h' there takes place an acceleration of the speed of extracting the platform H and implicitly of the plug D.
  • Due to the relatively small height of the body 11 of the cover G that has a value of 9...13 mm, the enclosure y is lowered below the level of the body 11, inside the box, in order to obtain a prescribed depth of the enclosure y with a value of 15mm, according to the international standards. In this situation, in order to ensure the stroke of the extractors I as well as for ensuring the necessary elasticity in front of the portion h' there were provided the cutouts o' in the lamellas d'.
  • The power outlet according to the invention, in another constructive variant, is type "F" double power outlet, illustrated in Figs.18... 30and consists of the socket A, to which there is secured a cover J in which there is placed and retained a free platform K, simple-guided laterally, with commanded blocking.
  • The cover J consists of a body 18 that has a cylindrical wall r" delimiting a receiving enclosure s" and wherein there are machined four elongate slots, arranged two by two diametrically opposed, situation not represented in the figures. In front of each pair of slots in the body 18 there is provided a recess t", delimited by a profiled lower wall u". In each recess t" there is located a bilamellar extractor L whose body 19 has a portion v" with outer impression and an inner portion w", respectively, said inner portion being provided with two rigid lamellas x" and y", constructively different from each other and arranged in parallel.
  • The lamella x" has an active surface z" formed by two differently inclined flat portions a‴ and b‴, namely a long upper one and a short one, the length of the portion a‴ being bigger than the length of portion b‴ by 85...95%. Between the portion b‴ and the horizontal plane there is a lower dihedral angle of attack γ, with a value of 18...22°, and between the portion a‴ and a vertical plane there is an upper dihedral angle δ with a value of 27...35°.
  • Between the surfaces a‴ and b‴ there is a dihedral angle, not positioned in the figures, having a value of 121...127°. The lamella y" has an active surface c‴, consisting of two portions d‴ and e‴, namely an upper concave one and a front short horizontal plane one, respectively, connected between them. The portion e‴ has a 2...3 mm length and it is located in an open channel f‴, machined in a lower wall g‴ delimiting the receiving enclosure s‴. The portion d‴ has the shape of an arc of the circle, having a 25...35 mm radius, and the length of the circle arc chord is equal to 10...13 mm.
  • In the cylindrical wall r" there are machined two channels h‴ open towards the receiving enclosure s" and closed to the upper side, wherein there are placed some ends i‴ and j‴ of a sliderway 20, that is guided in a channel k‴, having a "T" shape in the cross-section according to a transversal plane, said channel being machined in a profiled body 21 of the platform K. The slider 20 has two lateral guides I‴ that penetrate into the channel k‴.
  • The body 21 of the platform K is provided in the middle with two recesses m‴ situated diametrically opposed, and with two resilient guides n‴, respectively, said guides being arranged diametrically opposed - placed in front of some external guides of the type "F" plug D in front of some active straight outline surfaces o‴, which are convex in the cross-section and have the shape of an arc of circle of a 2...6 mm radius.
  • In the body 21 there are machined two through holes p‴ and q‴ that can be crossed by the terminals 5 and 6, as well as another through hole r‴ for the access to a screw 22 securing the cover J to the socket A. The slider 20 is positioned along a direction that forms an angle of 45° with the axis joining the centers of the holes p‴ and q‴. The body 21 is provided with two linear profiled borders s‴ and t‴, having a height of 1...2 mm, that are arranged in parallel with each other and which enclose the holes p‴ and q‴, in order to guide the terminals 5 and 6 of the plug D within the latter.
  • In the immediate vicinity of a lower end u‴ of the portion d‴ the tangent to it makes with a straight line parallel to a lower horizontal edge v‴ of the lamella y" a lower angle of attack η having a value of 9...15°, and in the immediate vicinity of an upper end w‴of the portion d‴ tangent to it makes with a vertical edge x‴ of the lamellay" an upper angle of attack θ with a value of 17...23°.
  • The body 19 has in a portion w" a short lateral lower shoulder y‴ which blocks the extractor L in the cover J, wherein there are fixed in a manner known per se, preferably, by means of a screw 23, four short resilient pieces 24. Each piece 24 has a concave portion z‴, which confers elasticity on it, as well as a short pin aIV, for positioning inside a lower blind hole bIV machined in the portion v" of the extractor L, after having crossed a through hole, machined in the wall u", not positioned in the figures, and a tall profiled stopper cIV, respectively, which after crossing a through hole dIV provided in the wall u" comes into contact with the shoulder y‴. Each stopper cIV is located in front of a lamella y".
  • Across the width of the portion v" the body 19 is provided with two lower lateral guides eIV, of which the one on the side of the lamella y" is provided with the shoulder y‴. The guides eIV are located in some channels fIV , machined in the body 18.
  • In this constructive variant, the platform K is mounted and retained in the receiving enclosure s", being located to the upper side, as a consequence of the fact that the lamellas x" and y" are situated entirely in the enclosure s", before introducing the plug D into the enclosure s", for achieving the electric contact. When the plug D must be introduced into the enclosure s", there initially takes place the contact of the terminals 5 and 6 with the profiled borders s‴ and t‴, for the purpose of guiding the same towards and into the through holes p‴ and q‴. Further, by pushing the plug D this moves the platform K under the conditions in which the two active surfaces o‴ of the body 21 come into contact with the active surfaces z" and c‴ and with the upper portions a‴ and d‴, respectively, and then with the lower portions b‴ and c‴, there taking place a movement towards the outer side of the enclosure s" of the lamellas x" and y".
  • In this construction, the height of the body 18 of the cover J ensures the depth of the receiving enclosure s" which is equal to 18 mm, according to the international standards, without placing the wall g‴ into the box, that allows a constructive simplification of the lamellas x" and y", in that they do not present a constructive recess required in the situation in which the wall g‴ would be placed inside the box.
  • Initially, as a consequence of the existence of the upper angles of attack δ and θ, with different values, by moving the platform K by the plug D there takes place an unlocking, in a relatively short time, of the extractors L after the stud aIV comes out from the blind hole bIV. When extracting the plug D from the enclosure s", as a consequence of the existence of the lower angles of attack γ and η, with different values, by the manual movement of the extractors L, the lamellas x" and y" are moved towards the inner side of the enclosure s" in a relatively short time and by the application of a force with a relatively reduced value and a variation in time thereof, due to the different geometrical shape of the surfaces z" and c‴ which makes that during the extraction the contacts thereof with the surfaces o‴ takes place alternately, but diametrically opposed diagonally. As a consequence of the concave shape of the portion c‴ in front of the intersection of the portions a‴ and b‴ the movement of the platform L is done smoothly, by the application, from the outer side, of an extracting force with a relatively constant value, the contact taking place only between the portions σIII and dIII.
  • The power outlet according to the invention, in another constructive variant may be type "E" simple or double power outlet, situation in which the embodiment is presented for a double power outlet with earthing, illustrated in Figs. 31...42, which consists of the socket A to which there is fixed a cover M, wherein there are mounted two bilamellar extractors N for each post, one having the role of extracting the plug D, in the situation in which in a receiving enclosure gIV, provided in a body 25 of the cover M there is placed a free platform O, guided at the lower side, sustained in an upper position.
  • The enclosure gIV is confined by some walls hIV and iIV, namely a lateral cylindrical one and a lower flat one, respectively. In the wall hIV there are machined, for each post, four elongate slots, not represented in the figures, arranged two by two diametrically opposed and in front of each pair of slots in the body 25 there is provided a recess jIV confined by a lower wall kIV, provided with an inner threshold lIV -under-which- there are situated two supports mIV and nIV, that are continued with two long profiled guides oIV which are integral with the wall hIV.
  • In each recess jIV there is placed a bilamellar extractor N whose body 26 has two portions pIV and qIV with impression, namely an external one and an internal one. The latter has two constructively different rigid lamellas rIV and sIV arranged in parallel to each other, of which the lamella sIV is constructively identical to the lamella y".
  • Lamella rIV has an active long concave portion tIV having the shape of an arc of circle with an 18...24 mm radius, and the length of the chord of the arc of circle is equal to 14... 16 mm.
  • In the immediate vicinity of a lower end uIV and in that of an upper end vIV of the portion tIV, respectively, the tangents to them make with a straight line parallel to a horizontal edge wIV, and with a vertical edge xIV, some angles of attack γ and µ, namely a lower one and an upper one, with values of 9...15° and of 17...23°, respectively.
  • In front of the portion pIV the body 26 has two lateral lower guides yIV which in the immediate vicinity of the portion qIV have one of the two shoulders zIV.
  • To the lower side, in the portion pIV of the body 26 there is provided a marginal blind hole aV located between the lamellas rIV and sIV, wherein there penetrates a marginal short stud bV of a long resilient lamella 27. The latter further has a marginal short stud bV, and between the two studs bV there is provided a through hole, not represented in the figures, through which there crosses a screw for fixing the lamella 27 to a lower short support cV of the body 25, situation not positioned in the figures.
  • By introducing the extractor N into the recess jIV the guides yIV come into contact with the guides oIV, and the shoulders zIV come into contact with two lower limiters dV of a piece 28 closing the recess jIV. The piece 28 has two lower lateral long walls eV, which confine a lower front profiled wall fV that comes into contact with the cylindrical wall hIV.
  • Between the limiters dV, in the wall fV there is machined a through hole gV placed in front of the blind hole aV, when the extractor N has the lamellas rIV and sIV situated in the enclosure gIV, situation in which the stud bV crosses the hole gV and penetrates into the blind hole aV.
  • The platform O has a body 29 which has an upper flat portion hV of a circular shape, which is continued with two lower thin long hollow guides iV located diametrically opposed. The portion hV has two through holes jV located in the middle, machined therein, that can be crossed by the terminals 5 and 6 of the plug D. Between the holes jV, in the vicinity of an external cut-out kV of the portion hV, in the latter there is also machined another peripheral through hole lV that is crossed by an earthing terminal 30, fixed in the body 1. Through the cutout kV the access to a screw 31 for fixing the body 25 to the body 1 is allowed.
  • In the lower wall iV confining the enclosure gIV there are machined two through holes mV, placed at the middle, that are crossed by the terminals 5 and 6, as well as other two through holes nV, crossed by the guides iV and which, subsequently, enter the two long thick hollow guides oV. For retaining the guides iV in the guides oV, in the guides iV some stoppers 32 are introduced and fixed thereto.
  • The wall iV further has a peripheral through hole pV crossed by the earthing terminal 30.
  • In this constructive variant the socket A allows the wall iV to be provided with the guides oV.
  • The flat portion hV has two regions qV arranged diametrically opposed, placed in front of the pairs of lamellas rIV and sIV, that have some active curved outline surfaces rV, that are convex in the cross-section and have the shape of an arc of circle with a 2...6 mm radius.
  • At the upper side, the portion hV has two long profiled borders sV and tV, arranged parallel to each other, with a height of 1...2 mm, which frame the holes jV delimiting a wide channel uV for guiding the terminals5 and 6 towards the holes jV.
  • In the wall iIV there are machined four channels vV, placed two by two diametrically opposed, along which the lamellas rIV and sIV may be moved.
  • In this constructive variant the platform O is mounted and retained in the receiving enclosure gIV and it is placed to the upper side, as a consequence of the fact that the lamellas rIV and sIV are entirely situated in the enclosure gIV. When the plug D must be introduced into the enclosure gIV for achieving the electric contact, there takes place the contact between the terminals 5 and 6 and the profiled borders sV and tV, for the purpose of guiding them towards and into the through holes jV. In continuation, by pushing the plug D this moves the platform O, under the conditions in which the two active surfaces rV of the body 29 come into contact with the active concave portion tIV of the lamella rIV and with a portion of an active surface of the lamella sIV, respectively, that is identical with the portion d‴ of an active surface c‴ of the lamella y". Initially, due to the values of the upper angles of attack µ and θ, that can be equal to one another, between the previously indicated limits, there takes place a relatively rapid movement of the lamellas rIV and sIV towards the external side of the enclosure gIV. Then, the pushing of the plug D and implicitly that of the platform O is continued, under the conditions in which two active surfaces rV come into contact with the portion tIV, and with the portion constructively identical with the portion d‴, respectively, that have radii of different values, having as a consequence the achieving of some alternating contacts of the surfaces rV with these, but diametrically opposed diagonally, that contributes to maintaining the speed of moving the lamellas rIV and sIV for the whole duration up to finalizing the electric contact.
  • Upon extracting the plug D form the enclosure gIV as a consequence of the values of the lower angles of attack A and η that can be equal to each other, between the previously indicated limits, by manually moving the extractors N, the lamellas rIV and sIV are moved towards the inner side of the enclosure gIV in a relatively short time and by applying a force with a relatively reduced value and variation in time, due to the different geometrical shapes of the active surface of the lamella sIV and of the active surface tIV of the lamella rIV, respectively; during the extraction, the contacts thereof with the surfaces rV take place alternately, but diametrically opposed, diagonally, that ensures a continuous and smooth extraction.
  • In this constructive variant, the height of the body 25 of the cover M ensures a depth of the receiving enclosure gIV, which, according to the international standards has a value of 15 mm, so that the socket A allows the achieving of the guides oV, located to the lower side on the body 25 of the cover M, wherein there can be moved, in both directions, the guides iV of the platform O. The latter is retained inside the enclosure gIV by the stoppers 32.
  • The power outlet according to the invention, in another constructive variant, may be type "C" simple or double, illustrated in Figs. 43...51, consisting of the socket A, to which there is fixed a cover P, in whose body 33 there are mounted two bilamellar extractors Q for each post, having the role of extracting the plug D, in the situation in which in a receiving enclosure wV provided in the body 33 there is placed a free platform R, guided at the lower side, sustained in the upper position. In a lower wall xV which delimits the receiving enclosure wV provided in the body 33 there is located a free platform R, guided to the lower side, sustained in the upper position. In a lower wall xV which delimits the receiving enclosure wV there are machined two through holes yV and zV, located in the middle, that may be crossed by the terminals 5 and 6 of the plug D.
  • The platform R has a body 34 provided with an upper flat portion having a circular shape which is continued with two lower thin long hollow guides bVI, arranged diametrically opposed. In the portion aVI there are machined two through holes cVI and dVI located in the middle, diametrically opposed, that may be crossed by the terminals 5 and 6. The guides bVI enter some hollow guides eVI, open to the ends, of the body 33 retained in the latter by some stoppers 32
  • The portion aVI has two lower zones fVI, each provided with a curved outline surface gIV, which is convex in the cross-section and has the shape of an arc of the circle with 2...6 mm radius.
  • Each extractor Q consists of a body 35 which has two hollow portions hVI and iVI with impression, namely an outer one and an inner one, the latter has two lamellas jVI and kVI, namely a rigid one and a semi-rigid one, arranged parallel to each other. The lamella jVI has a construction identical to the one of the lamella y" of the extractor L, and the lamella kVI has an active surface, having the same geometry as that of the active surface e' of the lamella d', made up of two concave portions mVI and nVI, namely a lower one and an upper one, joined between them by a short convex portion oVI, said portions being constructively identical with the portions f', g' and h' of the lamella d' of the extractor I. In front of the convex portion oVI in the lamella kVI there is provided a cutout pVI, conferring elasticity on it during the contact between the portion oVI and the platform R. The cutout pVI is open at the lower side and it is delimited by a wall qVI in the shape of an arc of circle.
  • In the wall xV there are machined four channels rVI located two by two diametrically opposed, along which the lamellas jVI and kVI may be moved.
  • Each extractor Q is retained in the cover P by means of a closing piece not represented in the figures, having a construction identical to that of piece 28, which by means of some lower limiters, blocks some shoulders sVI of the extractor Q, and the positioning of the latter in the cover P is carried out by means of a lateral pin tVI of a long resilient piece 36 - whose construction is identical to that of the piece 27 - which enters a blind hole uVI of the extractor Q, which surrounds the receiving enclosure wV. The piece 36 is fixed to the cover P in a manner known per se, for example, by means of a screw, which penetrates a through hole, provided in the centre of the piece 36 and, another through hole, respectively, said hole being machined in the body 33, finally penetrating in the hole uVI, situation not represented in the figures. The shoulders sVI are positioned on some lower long guides vVI of the body 35, which in their turn are positioned in contact with some supports of the body 33, not represented in the figures, having the same construction as that of the supports mIV and nIV.
  • In this constructive variant, the platform R is mounted and retained in the receiving enclosure wV and it is placed at the upper side as a consequence of the fact that the lamellas jVI and kVI are situated entirely in the enclosure wV. When the plug D must be introduced into the enclosure wV for achieving the electric contact, initially there takes place the contact between the terminals 5 and 6 and the smooth outer surface of the body 34, with a view to introducing the same into the through holes cVI and dVI. Then, by pushing the plug D, this moves the platform R, in the conditions in which the two active surfaces gVI of the body 34 come into contact with a concave portion, not positioned in the figures, of the lamella jVI -constructively identical with the portion d‴ of the lamella y" and with an upper portion nVI of the active surface lVI of the lamella kVI, respectively - and initially takes place due to the values of the angles of attack θ and β - which may be equal to each other between the previously indicated limits - a relatively rapid movement of the lamallas jVI and kVI, outside the enclosure wV, then the pushing of the plug D and that of the platform R, implicitly, is continued under the conditions in which the two active surfaces gVI of the body come in contact with the upper portion, not positioned, of the lamella jVI - constructively identical with the portion d‴ of the lamella y"- and with the upper portion nV, respectively, of the lamella kVI - which is constructively identical with the portion g' of the lamella d' - that has as a consequence the achieving of alternating contacts of the surfaces gVI with these, but diametrically opposed, diagonally, which contribute to maintaining a relatively constant moving speed of the lamellas jVI and kVI during the whole time period up to finalizing the electric contact.
  • Upon extracting the plug D from the enclosure wV, as a consequence of the values of the lower angles of attack η and α that can be equal to each other, between the previously indicated limits, by manually moving the extractors Q the lamellas jVI and kVI are moved towards the inner side of the enclosure wV in a relatively short time and by the application of a force with a relatively reduced value and variation in time, having in view the different geometrical shape of the active surface, not positioned, of the lamella jVI - which is constructively identical with the active surface c" of the lamella y" - and of the active surface lVI of the lamella kVI, which makes that during the extraction, the contacts thereof with the surfaces gVI takes place alternately, but diametrically opposed, diagonally, which ensures a smooth continuous extraction, by the application of a relatively small value force.
  • In this constructive variant the height of the body 33 ensures the depth of the receiving enclosure wVI, and the cutout pVI in the lamella kVI ensures only the elasticity in portion oVI of this lamella kVI which makes possible the movement along the guides lVI, in both directions, of the guides bVI.
  • The holes cVI and dVI machined in the body 34 may be surrounded by two long borders or surrounded by some truncated cone shaped portions with a height and a depth of 1...2 mm, respectively, situations not represented in the figures.

In the body 36, the terminals 37 and 38 have mounted to the upper side a pair of resilient lamellas, in which the terminals 5 and 6 of the plug D may penetrate, situation known per se, but not represented in the figures.
  • The semi-casing T consists of a body 40 provided with a thin cylindrical wall xVI which delimits a receiving enclosure yVI and with two frames zVI and aVII, respectively, which are integral with the wall xVI. In the latter, in front of the frames zVI and aVII there are machined two pairs of narrow elongate slots bVII and eVII, having some enlarged lower portions, of which there are represented some enlarged portions dVII of the slots bVII, through which there pass some soleplates eVII and fVII of some rigid lamellas gVII and hVIIof a body 41 of a bilamellar extractor U.
  • The lamellas gVII and hVII are constructively identical, with guiding at the lower side and limitation of the stroke, situation in which only the construction of the lamella gVII will be presented, said construction having an active flat surface iVII consisting of a lower flat portion jVII, inclined by an angle ξ in relation to the horizontal, with a value of 16...18°, located in front of the sole eVII. The portion jVII is continued with a curved flat upper portion kVII, in the shape of an arc of circle, with a radius of 17...24 mm, and the length of the chord of the arc of circle is 1.8....2.2 times longer than the length of the portion jVII, which has a value of 4...7 mm. The value of an angle of attack π between the tangent in a point lVII situated at the transition of the portion kVII with a flat upper portion mVII, parallel to the soleplate eVII is of 24...26°.
  • The body 41 has some portions nVII and oVII, namely a rear flat portion provided with an impression and an anterior curved portion having the lamellas gVII and hVII, respectively. The portion oVII surrounds the thin wall xVI. To the lower side, in front of the portion oVII, the body 41 has a recess pVII which confines an outer lateral lower guide qVII of the lamella gVII and it is continued by means of a shoulder rVII of the soleplate eVII.
  • The lamellas gVII and hVII are introduced through the slots bVII and cVII into the enclosure yVI, thereafter through a lower cutout sVII machined in a lower wall tVII of the frame aVII there is introduced a piece 42 for retaining and limiting the stroke of the guide qVII by the contact with the shoulder rVII.
  • The piece 42 is curved having the shape of the wall xVI and it is provided with two open upper recesses uVII and vVII whose dimensions allow them to partially dress at the upper side the lamellas gVII and hVII and it is located in the recess pVII.
  • In the wall tVII there are machined three through holes wVII, xVII and yVII in which there enter some pins zVII, aVIII and bVIII, namely a short one, a long one and a short one, of a resilient piece 43, provided with a front curved zone cVIII that follows the curvature of the wall xVI.

The body 45 is provided with two through holes kVIII placed in the middle - delimited by two long linear borders lVIII, arranged parallel to each other, with a height of 1...2 mm that can be crossed by the terminals 5 and 6 and has two diametrically opposed zones mVIII, delimited by one of two active straight outline surfaces nVIII, each being convex in the cross section, and having the shape of an arc of the circle with a 2...6 mm radius.
  • In case in which in a power outlet provided with extractor, known per se, there is connected a simple adapting power outlet, on the body 36 there may be fixed a self-sticker platform E, thereafter the terminals 37 and 38 are introduced into the power outlet for achieving the supply to the power network, and the lamellas gVII and hVII are placed into the enclosure yVI. Thereby there is created the possibility of allowing the introduction into/and taking out from the power outlet, whenever necessary, a plug D belonging to different appliances. The terminals 5 and 6 are introduced through the holes kVIII of the platform V that is placed freely in the enclosure yVI, being guided along the channels gVIII. Finally, the terminals 5 and 6 come into contact with the pairs of resilient lamellas of the terminals 37 and 38, thereby the supply with electric power being achieved.
  • During the introduction of the plug D into the enclosure yVI, the profiled surfaces nVIII progressively come into contact with the concave and straight portions kVII and jVII, namely, a concave one and a straight one, so that in the end the portions jVII are placed frontally on either sides of some resilient guides oVIII placed in the middle of the surfaces rVIII.

Thus, the surfaces nVIII progressively come into contact with the surfaces jVII and with the surfaces kVII, until the plug D is taken out of the enclosure yVI and the platform V remains in the enclosure yVI in the upper position, as a consequence of the fact that the pushers U are retained with the lamellas hVII and gVII inside the enclosure yVI by the pins aVIII of the piece 43, that penetrate into the holes dVIII of the bodies 41.
  • Under the conditions in which the body 40 has the relatively thin wall xVI with a value of 1.5...2.0 mm, the shape and dimensions of the active surfaces iVII of the extractors U lead to a compact construction and to reliability in operation, respectively.
  • The power outlet according to the invention, in another constructive variant, is a type "F" mobile multiple power outlet, with at least two posts, with earthing, situation in which the embodiment is presented for a mobile multiple power outlet, illustrated in Figs. 55...61 with three posts, that consists of some lower and upper semi-casings W and X, respectively.
  • The semi-casing W consists of a hollow body 46, wherein there are provided six lower short hollow supports qVIII, wherein there are placed some springs 47 and six lateral stoppers rVIII, respectively, said stoppers being placed inside an inner skirt sVIII. Both in this skirt and in a border tVIII there is machined one of some front holes uVIII and vVIII, wherethrough there passes an electric cable, connected to some lamellas for the electric contact, situation known per se, not represented in the figures and to three "U"-shaped earthing lamellas 48, respectively, known per se.
  • Some arms wVIII and xVIII of each lamella 48 are located in some pairs of slots yVIII arranged diametrically opposed, two by two, provided in a thin cylindrical wall zVIII which confines together with a lower wall aIX, a receiving enclosure bIX belonging to a body 49 of the casing X.
  • The wall aIX has two lower hollow short guides cIX, which by joining together the semi-casings W and X come into contact with the supports qVIII, and the springs 47 penetrate into the guides cIX. In front of the guides cIX in the wall aIX there are provided two through holes dIX, placed diametrically opposed.

  • A unilamellar extractor Z is formed in a body 52 provided with two portions oIX and pIX, namely an exterior one with impression and an interior one, as well as with two elongate recesses qIX, located on either sides of a rigid lamella rIX with guiding at the lower side. The latter has an active surface sIX consisting of a lower flat portion tIX, inclined by an angle ξin relation to the horizontal, located in front of a soleplate uIX. The portion tIX is continued with an upper portion vIX, having the concavity value equal to that of the portion kVII. The portion vIX has the shape of an arc of circle with a 17...24 mm radius. The value of angle π between the tangent in a point wIX situated at the transition of portion vIX with a flat upper portion xIX, parallel to the soleplate uIX with the vertical has a value of 24...26°. In the cross-section the portion vIX is convex and has to the upper side the shape of an arc of circle with a 2...6 mm radius.
  • The lamella rIX has two lower long guides yIX, between which there is machined a channel zIX open at the lower side and closed at the ends. During the operation, the lamella rIX is introduced through the slot lIX into the enclosure bIX, so that the ribs mIX penetrate into the recesses qIX and the guides yIX remain in contact at the upper side with the ribs mIX, and the stopper rVIII penetrates into the channel zIX. Finally, the body 52 is placed between two lateral walls aX.
  • For bringing in operation condition, the mobile multiple power outlet is supplied from a low-voltage power network, then, in turn, a plug D - depending on the number of posts - is placed in front of the enclosure bIX, and the terminals 5 and 6 are guided by the border hIX and directed towards the holes jIX of the platform Y in which they enter, which allows the platform to be moved downwards, by pressing the plug D, and consequently to compress the springs 47 until the terminals 5 and 6 pass through the holes eIX and penetrate between the resilient lamellas, achieving the electric contact. During this whole period the extractors Z are moved towards the outer side of the enclosure bIX and the stoppers rVIII placed in the channels zIX limit the strokes of the extractors Z.

  • By the convenient choice of the lengths of the pair of the inner lower hollow guides kIX in which there are mounted the stoppers 51 for the contact with the springs 47 and for retaining the guides kIX in the outer upper hollow guides cIX, the upper surface of the border hIX may be placed at the upper level of the cylindrical wall zVIII confining the receiving enclosure bIX. This fact is possible due to the presence of the border hIX which allows the guiding of the terminals 5 and 6.

The value of the angle n between the tangent in an upper point pXV of the portion nXV in relation to the vertical has a value of 24...26°.
  • Between the soleplate oXV and a lower wall qXV of the body 70 there is provided a recess rXV , and to the front side the wall qXV has a front open recess, which together with the recess rXV allow the mounting of a children protection, situation not represented in the figures.
  • The body 70 has two rear long narrow lateral guides tXV and uXV and two anterior short flat guides uXV , respectively, with some shoulders vXV for limiting the extractor travel L' provided therebetween.
  • Under the lamella wIV in the lower wall qXV there is provided a through hole wXV , located in front of the screw 66 in case the lamella wXIV is located entirely inside the enclosure sXIV .
  • For bringing in the operation condition, the multiple power outlet is power supplied from a low-voltage power network, thereafter a plug D is placed in front of the enclosure sXIV , and the terminals 5 and 6 are guided by the border cXV and directed towards and into the holes iXV of the platform K', which is moved downwards, by pressing the plug D, which has the consequence of moving the lamella wIV to the inner side of the enclosure sXIV , under the conditions in which the guides aXV of the platform K' enter the holes zXIV , being blocked in the wall uXIV by means of the shoulders hXV . Thus, the platform K' is positioned and retained by the screws 66 that are partially lifted and partially enter, with the ends jXIV , into the holes wXV , until the terminals 5 and 6 are introduced into the holes iXV . Then, by the permanent contact between the surface dXV and the active surfaces lXV of the lamellas wXIV there takes place a relatively rapid continuous smooth movement downwards, into the enclosure sXIV , of the platform K' and the movement outwards of the extractors L'. Upon finishing the descent of the platform K' under the surface dXV , in front of the small diameter thereof there are positioned some front parts xXV of the portions mXV , and the shoulders vXV come in contact, at the upper side, with the shoulders xIV and at the lower side with the shoulders nXIV , and in the hole wXV the end jXIV of the screw 66 is no longer placed.
  • For extracting the plug D from the enclosure sXIV , the extractors L' are pressed by two fingers of a hand, so that the front parts xXV are moved towards the inner side of the enclosure sXIV , lifting the platform K' by a force and in a time with low values and safely, until the plug D is taken out.
  • When there is to be used a reduced number of posts, depending on the consumer power, in order to avoid the overload, in the other posts the screw 66 passes through the whole hole wXV , blocking the extractors L', and the platform K' is immobilized at the upper side of the enclosure sXIV .
  • All the bodies 13, 57, 21, 45, 63 and 69 of the platforms H, D', K, V, H' and K' are made of a dielectric plastic material consisting of a polyamide and, preferably, of polypropylene, such as polypropylene PA6. From the same material selected for manufacturing the bodies 13, 57, 21, 45, 63 and 69 there are also manufactured the bodies 12, 19, 26, 35, 41, 52, 56, 62 and 70 of the extractors I, L, N, Q, U, Z, C',G' and L', in order to prevent, to a great extent, the wearing thereof during the operation, with direct consequences in respect of maintaining relatively low values of the pressing force and of the extraction time.
  • In the situation where one of the free platforms H, K, V or D', guided laterally, for some undesirable reasons is deteriorated, this is removed from the receiving enclosure y, s', yVI or rX in which it was positioned and then, in this, for achieving an electric contact, a plug D to which there is attached a platform E or a self sticker platform F may be introduced.
