Description

Multiple base for electrical connections.

Background of the invention

Multiple bases have been known for years  for electrical connections comprising a body and a cover that they house the operative elements for the connection of the legs of the plugs and ground, presenting the cover the housings for the coupling of the pins.

In these bases for the connection of the cables of  power, the lid must be separated to access the operating elements installed in the body which present the arrangement of connection terminals of the contacts for the plugs and for the ground connection, being it difficult for the person to connect the cables to the base of food, especially if that person is not an expert in matter.

Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is a base multiple for electrical connections that facilitates its connection to power cords so that anyone can carry carry out said operation without the need to separate the lid, since the base is prepared to carry out said connection with just insert the cables in each mouth provided in one of the ends of the base and retain them by the action of two screws

This extreme area of the base where it leads to after the indicated connection of the power cables includes a cover that hides it and can be removed to establish said connection.

The cable retention devices of Power supply consists of two metal parts perforated longitudinally and that transversely comprise the coupling of two screws, one of which holds the cable connected to one of the operating elements or to ground, and the other Screw holds the corresponding power cable.

This base comprises a shutter mechanism of the operative elements that allow the passage of the pins of the plug plugs but not that of a strange element, with what that effective protection against unwanted connections is obtained and to prevent damage to children who may have access to holes in the base intended for pin pins.

These and other features will come off better than the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which It is accompanied by two sheets of drawings in which it has been represented a case study that is cited only by way of non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.

Detailed description

According to the drawings this multiple base for electrical connections it comprises a body (1) and a cover (2) which are fixed together by screws introduced by the holes (3) at the bottom of the body (1) (figure 3) and housing the operative elements (4) for the connection of the plugs of plug and ground (5) (figure 6), being constituted the first by inflected strips and the second by U-plates fixed to a longitudinal strip (6).

The cover (2) presents the housings (7) for the coupling of the pins.

The multiple base is ready to receive directly connecting the corresponding cables of power supply (8) (figure 5) for which it includes the installation of the retention devices (9) of said cables to which has access through respective mouths (10) provided in one of the ends (11) of the base.

This extreme area of the base comprises a cover (12) that conceals it and has holes (13) for the passage of screws (not shown) that will be attached to studs tubular (14) of the body (1), which will allow the cover to be removed (12) to establish the connection of the power cables (8). The cover has a detachable complement (12 ') that fits in a transverse groove (13 ') of the cover to hide the fixing screws to the base.

The retention devices (9) of the cables of feeding are constituted by two metallic pieces with longitudinal perforation (15) and that transversely comprise the coupling of two screws (16 and 17) (figure 5), one of the which (16) holds the cable (18) connected to one of the elements operating (4) or longitudinal strip (6) to which the ground connections (5), and the other screw (17) holds the corresponding power cable (8), whose screws (17) Access is provided through holes (19) provided on the cover (2) (figure one).

The retention devices (9) are arranged in  upper settlements (20) provided on the cover (2) (figure 4) and rest on pillars (21) of the body (1).

This multiple base for electrical connections it is provided with shutter mechanisms (22) of the elements operational (4) that allow the pins of the pins to pass of plug but not the one of strange elements.

Said shutter mechanisms (22) comprise a  rotating element (23) having two fins (24 and 25) diametrically opposed (figure 6) of oblique cross section with opposite inclinations, and a radial appendix (26) which is pushed by a spring (27) that stabilizes the rotating element (23) against stops (28) provided for the indicated fins (24 and 25).

When the pins of the pins in the holes (29) of the housings (7) of the lid (2), press the fins (24 and 25) determining the rotation of the rotating element (23) compressing the spring (27) with which pins have access to the operating elements (4) with which They establish connection.

When the plug is removed the spring (27) is recovers and the rotating element (23) returns to the previous position stop by sealing the fins (24 and 25) the holes (29) of the top.

The base is expected to comprise a switch (30) (figure 4).

The holes (31) indicate the holes for the passage of screws when you want to fix the base to the floor, to a wall, inside a piece of furniture or where it is convenient, and with the reference (32) the tubular pillars are indicated where it is fixed the flange (32 ') that will hold the power cable (8) in its entrance to the base through the cable gland (33).

In this case the bottom of the body (1) is transversely convex so symmetrically to the holes (31) two bolts are planned (34) determining four points of support to stabilize the base on the surface on which be available.

Of course, the base may present differently  number of housings for the plugs and, if desired, you can supply with the power cable already connected to the base.

The invention, within its essentiality, can be put into practice in other embodiments that differ only in detail from that indicated solely by way of example, which will also achieve the protection that collect. This multiple base for connections can therefore be manufactured electric in any shape and size, with media and materials more suitable and with the most convenient accessories, being able to component elements be replaced by others technically equivalent, because all of this is understood within the spirit of the claims.
