Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metal clip for electrical connection of a conductive wire to a flat metal element.
  • such clips are in electrical contact with the conductive wire.
  • the lead wire is not necessarily held firmly to the clip. It is possible under certain circumstances for the conductive wire to disengage from the clip, for example when a very strong current flows through the conductive wire.
  • the clips disclosed by the aforementioned documents generally do not make it possible to ensure electrical contact with several wires simultaneously while holding them firmly in position.
  • An object of the invention is therefore to propose a metal clip for electrical connection making it possible to be fastened reliably and easily to one or more conductive wires.
  • the object of the invention proposes a metal clip for electrical connection of at least one conductive wire to a flat metal element, the metal clip being defined by four essentially planar portions, called wings, a metal plate curved to present an M-shaped cross-section, the metal clip comprising: a first wing and a second wing defining a fixing housing to enable the clip to be engaged on an edge of the flat metal element; a third wing and a fourth wing defining a pinch housing and each respectively provided with a first opening (8c) and second opening (8d) facing each other, the pinching housing having a bottom provided with a main opening to allow insertion of the end of the conductive wire; fixing means consisting of a nut cooperating with a tightening screw inserted in the openings of the wings to bring the third wing closer to the fourth wing so as to be able to allow the pinching of the end of the conductive wire between the fourth wing and the third wing and make electrical contact.
  • a metal clip 1 for electrical connection according to the invention represented on the figure 1 , consists of a metal plate curved in M and therefore having a cross section in M.
  • the term "wing" denotes each of the four portions essentially planar of the metal plate defining this M-shape.
  • the clip 1 comprises a first wing 2a and a second wing 2b, integral at the level of a first curved zone which positions them facing each other, and defines a fixing housing 3a.
  • This housing is intended to be engaged on an edge of a flat metallic element to which it is desired to electrically connect a conductive wire.
  • the distance separating the first wing 2a and the second wing 2b, defined by the dimensions of the first curved zone, is chosen to substantially correspond to the thickness of the flat metallic element.
  • the elastic deformation of the first curved zone maintains the metal clip 1 on the flat metal element and brings them into electrical contact.
  • the pressing force exerted by the elastic lug 4 helps to hold the metal clip firmly on the flat metal element.
  • the low penetration of the end of this elastic lug 4 into the metal element by the scratch effect during its engagement promotes electrical contact.
  • a cutout is made on each of the two lateral edges of the first wing 2a and of the second wing 2b, in order to delimit four elastic lugs 4, the lugs 4 of the first wing 2a being placed opposite the lugs 4 of the second wing 2b.
  • the second wing 2b is integral with a third wing 2c, via a second curved zone positioning these two wings 2b, 2c facing each other, and thus defining a flexible intermediate housing 3b.
  • the third wing 2c is integral with a fourth wing 2d, via a third curved zone positioning these two wings 2c, 2d facing each other, and thus defining a pinch housing 3c.
  • the bottom of the pinch housing 3c corresponding to the third curved zone, is provided with a main opening 6, the size of which is chosen to allow the insertion of the end of the conductive wire (or conductive wires) that one want to connect.
  • the metal clip 1 is also provided with fastening means to bring the third wing 2c closer to the fourth wing 2d so as to be able to wedge the conductive wire between these two wings and establish electrical contact.
  • the third wing 2c and fourth wing 2d are thus respectively provided with a first opening 8c and a second opening 8d facing each other to allow the passage of a clamping screw 5, preferably metallic.
  • the fixing means advantageously comprise the clamping screw 5 and a nut 7, which can be arranged in the intermediate housing 3b and be integral with the third wing 2c.
  • the second wing 2b can also be provided with a third opening 8b opposite the first and second openings 8c, 8d in order to allow the passage of the end of the tightening screw 5.
  • the third opening 8b exposes the surface of the flat metallic element, when the clip 1 has been engaged on this element. It is then possible to bring the end of the screw 5 into contact with the metal element in order to hold the clip 1 more firmly to the metal element, and to improve the electrical contacting.
  • the nut 7 is formed on the third wing 2c by stamping.
  • the tightening screw 5 is screwed directly onto the thickness of the third wing 2c, the latter then constituting a nut thread.
  • the nut 7 is a separate part introduced into the intermediate housing when tightening the tightening screw 5.
  • the solution proposed by the invention is advantageous for two reasons.
  • the M-shape of the clip 1 makes it possible to orient the main opening 6 in a direction making it possible to introduce the end of the conductive wire towards the inside of the pinch housing without being bothered by the plane element.
  • the fourth wing 2d comprises lateral fins 9 which extend from each side of the metal clip 1 inclined towards the third wing 2c in order to retain the wire inside the clamping housing 3c during its insertion.
  • the fins 9 partially close the clip 1 on its sides so as to restrict the movement of the wire and to keep it in the housing in a position favorable to its pinching.
  • the figures 2a to 2c illustrate the use of a metal clip 1 for electrical connection according to the invention.
  • the metal clip 1 is assembled to the flat metal element by engaging the first housing 3a on an outer edge thereof.
  • the engagement of the clip can be carried out manually or using a tool, such as a hammer for example.
  • the lugs 4 exert a bearing force on the flat metallic element and, by scratching effect, their ends penetrate into the material of this metallic element, which contributes to establishing electrical contact.
  • the clamping screw 5 can independently be inserted into the openings 8c and 8d and partially screwed onto the nut 7 before or after the assembly of the metal clip 1 with the flat metal element.
  • the stripped end of the conductive wire is inserted manually into the main opening 6 in the direction of the entrance to the third housing 3c.
  • the conductive wire can continue to progress, for example until the insulating sheath comes into abutment against the main opening 6 as shown on the figure 2c or that part of the conductive wire protrudes from the inlet of the third housing 3c.
  • the pinching step represented on the figure 2c
  • the tightening screw 5 is screwed into the nut 7 to crush the conductive wire between the fourth wing 2d and the third wing 2c.
  • the electrical contact is thus maintained by pressure effect by crushing the wire between the third wing 2c and the fourth wing 2d.
  • the tightening screw 5 penetrates inside the intermediate housing 3b until it eventually touches the second wing 2b according to the depth of descent and length of the screw 5.
  • the intermediate housing 3b is deformed to adjust the spacing between the second wing 2b and the third wing 2c to take into account the length of the clamping screw 5 and the depth of its face.
  • the end of the screw can be brought into contact with the metal element to improve the attachment of the clip and its electrical contact.
  • the same phenomenon of flexible deformation of the intermediate housing which has just been described is also likely to occur in this case.
  • the conductive wire is in electrical contact and firmly held in the clip 1, between the third wing 2c and the fourth wing 2d which have been brought together by the tightening screw 5 and the nut 7.
  • the clip is also advantageous in that it makes it possible to easily disconnect the conductive wire from the metal clip 1 by simply unscrewing the clamping screw 5.
