Description

Electric connector

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to an electrical connector to perform the splicing of electrical connectors (cables) in situ, in the installation of electrical wiring, lights ... It is applicable in the field of electricity and the repair of electrical installations .

STATE OF THE ART

When wiring a home or building, or installing numerous electrical equipment, it is necessary to splice a series of electrical cables. Two main methods are known for this. The first is to directly strip the wires, wrap them together and put an electrical tape around it. This system is time consuming, unreliable and can also cause security problems. Therefore, it is inadvisable.

Plastic connectors are also known with two inputs, each with a copper or bronze clamping screw. A cable is inserted at each end, the screws are tightened and the connection is perfectly made, with connectivity secured and protected. However, this solution only allows two cables to be joined together.

The applicant does not know of any device that can solve these problems.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of an electrical connector according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

e ctrco connector includes a cover asante your u ar and quaker section: circular, square ...) with an internal conductor. The cover and the inner conductor form three or more open branches, configured for the introduction of a cable. Each branch has an interlocking device close to its opening and configured to contact or clamp the cable with the inner conductor.

Preferably, the internal connector is spaced from the openings to make accidental contact difficult. It is also preferable that the nailer has an outer part (screw, thumb.) Electrically isolated from the inside. Use of the wingtip is preferred so that no tightening tools are required.

In preferred embodiments, the connector comprises three or four branches.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

n a gure an a nvenc n rea zac n is shown in which the connector comprises a "Y" piece with three open tubular branches (1). The piece has an insulating covering (2), for example made of silicone, and an internal conductor (3) with the same shape as the piece, but which ends at a small distance from the opening of the branches (1).

Each branch (1) has an interlocking device (4), preferably a thumb screw (5). The tab (5) will be made of insulating material so that it does not transmit current. The wingtip (5) can also be isolated from the rest of the clamp (4), for the same reason.

The clamp (4) ensures the contact of the cable with the internal conductor (3), either pressing it against it or acting as a current transmitter.

The piece, for example near the junction of the branches (1), may have a fixing ring (6) for a nail or screw that serves to fix the piece to a stable element. It can also be used to pass a cable tie and have all the pieces of a joint (one for each wire of the cable) together.

The number of branches (1), as well as the angle between them or the size of the passage section is variable. It is also possible to make the piece in different colors to help identify the connecting cable. When there are four or more branches (1), they will preferably be in a single plane, for simplicity of manufacture, but they can be oriented in any direction.

In use, the technician strips the cables to be fixed and inserts them through the mouth of the corresponding branch (1). At that moment, it acts on the clamp (4), which clamps the cable and prevents its exit. The interlock (4) also ensures electrical contact with the internal conductor (3), so that all branches (1) are electrically communicated with the inserted cable. Lay as many cables as required, using a piece with the required number of branches (1).

, for ag n motvo, ea a branch, re, sn ca e, it is preer e closed with an insulating plug (7). However, since the inner conductor (3) does not reach the opening of the branch (1), there is no risk of accident.
