As illustrated in these figures, and so known per se, the dispenser 10 according to the invention, it comprises, globally, at least one metal bar 11, which is placed between two lateral support plates 12 of material insulating, from one to another of these, and that forms, by itself, several connection terminals 14A, 14B staggered in length.

In practice, and equally, in a way known, several bars 11 are provided parallel to each other Distance from each other.

Thus, in the represented embodiment of more particularly in figures 1 to 10, there are two bars 11.

Each of these is assigned, respectively, to two different potentials.

For example, one corresponds to a potential of phase, and the other to a neutral potential.

According to the invention, at least one of bars 11 and, in practice, to each of them, is associated a partition 15, of insulating material, which runs, longitudinally, substantially along the entire length of this bar 11, being supported, like them, by the side plates of support 12, in accordance with provisions described below with more detail, and that, transversely, and according to provisions described, also, in more detail below, circumscribe this bar 11 at least in a part of the section transversal of this one.

In the embodiments represented, and of mode known per se, the bars 11 are identical to each other, and their cross section is quadrangular and, more precisely, rectangular.

Thus, these comprise, according to the side of major length of this cross section, two faces 16, called in successive main faces and, according to its side of shorter length, two faces 18, hereinafter called side faces.

Let H1, measured transversely, the height of the main faces 16 of a bar 11, and be L1, measured, too, transversely, the width of its lateral faces 18.

The connection terminals 14A, 14B forming a 11 bar of this type are, in practice, screw terminals.

In each of these connection terminals 14A, 14B, there is, therefore, on the one hand, a perforation 19A, 19B, which extends from one to another of the two main faces 16, and that, in the practice, it is smooth, and, on the other, a perforation 20 which, from one of the lateral faces 18 extends transversely with with respect to the perforation 19A, 19B preceding and which, in turn, is internally threaded, for the application of a screw tighten 21.

In practice, all perforations 20 they flow into the same side face 18.

In practice, likewise, the perforations 19A, 19B are of two different types: there are 19A perforations of relatively large diameter, and 19B diameter perforations relatively small

The preceding provisions are well known. by themselves and, not being properly related with the present invention, they will not be described here with more detail.

The distribution of perforations 19A, 19B at bar length 11 can be any.

In the embodiments represented, there are a bore 19B of relatively small diameter in each of its ends

In accordance with the invention, partition 15 associated to a bar 11, comprises, globally, two wings 22, 24 in square one respect another, namely a main wing 22, which extends parallel to one of the main faces 16 of this bar 11, remote from this main face 16, and a side wing 24, which extends parallel to one of the other two faces of this bar 11 and, therefore, to one of the lateral faces 18 which, in the practice is the opposite of perforations 20.

Preferably, and as represented, the lateral wing 24 of the partition 15 extends in the vicinity immediate side face 18 corresponding to bar 11.

In the embodiments represented, the main wing 22 of the partition 15, has, transversely, a height H2 greater than height H1 of the main faces 16 of this bar 11 and also its side wing 24 has, transversely, in its current part, that is, in its middle part 25, a width L2 greater than the width L1 of the side faces 18 of this bar 11.

As represented, between bar 11 and the partition 15 act as a fitting, so that, as is represented in figure 2, this partition forms with the bar 11 a unit subset 26.

In practice, in the embodiments represented, these means of engagement result from the wing lateral 24 of the partition 15 forms, longitudinally, in its part media 25, a groove 27 into which the bar 11.

This groove 27 extends along the edge free of the side wing 24.

This extends, therefore, at a distance from the wing main 22 and, between the groove 27 and this main wing 22, the wing lateral 24 forms a semi-plane 28.

Let L3 be the width of slot 27.

This is substantially equal to the width L1 of the lateral faces 18 of the bar 11.

Preferably, the engagement means that they act between the bar 11 and the partition 15 are reinforced locally by projections 29, 30, which, present on the sides of slot 27, penetrate slightly into the internal volume of is.

In practice, see Figure 7, there are thus distance from each other, two projections 29 on the side of the groove 27 closest to the free edge of side wing 24 and two protrusions 30 arranged, each, respectively, against these projections 29, on the opposite side of this slot 27.

The protrusions 29 are formed by plates 31, which, acting longitudinally, are externally level with the corresponding side of slot 27, extending this locally side up and that, internally, form an excess thickness Regarding this side.

The protrusions 30 are formed by the ends of nerves 32, which, acting transversely in the semiplane 28, is extend from main wing 22 to groove 27.

Preferably, the partition 15 associated with a bar 11 is equipped with a support for indications 33.

In practice, in the embodiments represented, this support for indications 33 extends in the middle part 34 of the main wing 22 of this partition 15, and presents in the form of a rod supported at its ends by two consoles 35, protruding outward from this main wing 22, at the edge of a recess 36 that affects this wing from of its free edge.

In practice, also, on the surface bottom of the rod that forms, thus, the support for indications 33 is, in projection, a partition 38 that extends from a to another of the consoles 35 and which is intended to shore up the indication or indications added to the support for indications 33.

In the embodiment shown, they are also provided notches 39 in consoles 35, for allow to add in these, if desired, a hood capable of protect the indication or indications present, if any, in the indication holder 33.

In the embodiments represented, this indication holder 33 has only one extension relatively reduced with respect to the length of the partition fifteen.

Finally, and as represented, inserting the bar 11, preferably, at its ends, so known per se, in housings 42 provided for this purpose in the support side plates 12 according to the described modalities later in more detail, the partition 15 that is associated with it each other these support side plates 12, fixing these in its extremes according to modalities described, likewise, more forward in more detail, so that bar 11 is simply freely taken in sandwich, between these side plates of support 12.

In the embodiments represented, the housing 42 presenting each of the side plates of support 12 for inserting a bar 11 is formed by a adapter 44, protruding from the inside of this plate lateral support 12, see figure 9, and which forms globally a complementary quadrangular cross section cavity of the bar 11.

To allow free access to the connection terminal 14B present at the ends of the bar 11, and thus use it in full length, the main faces 45 of this adapter 44 they are provided, each, with a wide recess 46 e, likewise, its lateral face 47 corresponding to the lateral face 18 of the bar 11 on which the clamping screws 21 act, is provided with a wide recess 48.

On the contrary, the side face 49 opposite the precedent is solid and, in practice, extends over a length superior to the others.

For adaptation to such adapters 44, the wing side 24 of the partition 15 associated with a bar 11, forms in each one of its ends, an expansion 50 whose width L4 is greater than the L3 of its slot 27, and through which it is inserted longitudinally in the corresponding adapter 44, outside it.

In the embodiments represented, the partition 15 is fixed to the two lateral support plates 12 by interlocking means 52, 53.

At each end of this partition 15, these interlocking means 52, 53, comprise, on the one hand, in the corresponding support side plate 12, a tongue elastically deformable 52, which is hook shaped, with a notch 54 preceded by an insert chamfer 55 and, on the other, in the partition 15, a notch 53 with which the tongue 52 cooperates elastically deformable precedent.

In the embodiments represented, the elastically deformable tongue 52 extends parallel to the corresponding adapter 44 of the support side plates 12 and, more precisely, parallel to the solid side face 49 of this adapter 44, remote from it.

Corollary, notch 53 belongs to the contour of an opening 58 that crosses the lateral wing locally 24 of partition 15.

In the embodiments represented, this opening 58 more precisely affects expansion 50 corresponding to this side wing 24.

In practice, in the embodiments represented, the length L5 of the main wing 22 of the partition 15 is greater than the length L6 of its lateral wing 24 measured from one to another of the expansions 50 of this one.

In other words, the main wing 22 of this partition 15 protrudes from its lateral wing 24 in each of its extremes

On the other hand, in the embodiment represented in figures 1 to 10, one of the bars 11 is inclined, extending its main faces 16 obliquely with with respect to those of the other bar 11.

For this, it is enough that the adapter 44 corresponding to the support side plates 12 be inclined, as represented.

On the other hand, in the embodiments represented, each of the support side plates 12 forms at its base, legs 60 by which they adapt to be embedded in a support rail, not shown.

For example, and as represented, these leg means 60 comprise, in a manner known per se, for a interlocking in a support rail type called in hat, two struts 61, 62, which, one and the other, comprise at the same level, and in the direction of one another, a recess 63 and of which one is rigid while the other is elastically deformable

In practice, the support side plates 12 are symmetrical with respect to a transverse plane of symmetry that, as in the whole, passes through the middle zone of the bars 11.

During assembly, and as represented in figure 2, unit subsets are formed first 26 with each of the bars 11 and the partition 15 that is associated to said bar 11.

According to the opposite arrows F of this figure 2, the side support plates 12 are approximate, then, one to another, to one and another part of the unit subsets 26, with insertion of its adapters 44 into bars 11, until, by the interlocking means 52, 53 provided for this purpose, the 15 partitions cooperate with them.

The partitions 15 provided in accordance with the invention block, then, advantageously, by themselves, the distributor set 10 thus obtained.

From the foregoing, it turns out that the main wing 22 of the partition 15 associated with a bar 11 extends at a distance of the latter.

There is therefore a space 64 between this wing main 22 and bar 11 and, in service, and as is schematized in broken lines in figure 3 for a bar 11, this space 64 is used to control with the view that the connection of an electric conductor 80 to this bar 11 thanks to one of its perforations 19A or 19B, is done correctly, making sure that the bare end of the conductive soul 81 of this electric conductor 80 emerges well in this space 64 after through bar 11.

On the other hand, in the embodiment represented in figures 1 to 10, it is planned to associate the distributor 10 thus constituted a cap 65 on the side of the side support plates 12 opposite its legs 60.

To do this, each of the side plates of support 12 comprises two recesses 66, 67 oriented in symmetrical positions

Notch 66 laterally affects one of the adapters 44 and recess 67 is preceded by a ramp oblique 68 that facilitates placement by simple interlocking of the hood 65.

As will be seen, the cap 65 has only a reduced extent; in particular, it does not laterally wrap the bars 11, so as not to compromise their ventilation.

In the embodiment represented in the Figures 1 to 10, and the same occurs, on the other hand, in the form of embodiment shown in figure 11, is provided, finally, equip the distributor 10 with a cover 70 on the side of the legs 60 of its lateral support plates 12.

For this purpose, on the side plates of support 12, for the insertion of a cover 70, a shoulder 71, which extends between the struts 61, 62 of its legs 60 and presenting two recesses 72 in symmetrical positions.

In the embodiment represented in the Figure 11, four bars 11 are provided, parallel to each other. another, at a distance from each other.

As before, at least one of these bars 11 is inclined, extending its main faces 16 obliquely with respect to those of at least one of these bars 11.

In practice, the two middle bars 11 are inclined, while the two end bars 11 are right.

In the rest, the provisions are of the same type than those described above.

Finally, in the embodiment depicted in figure 12, a distributor 10 is associated with a accessory 75, in turn carrier of at least one bar 11 supplementary, which is likely to be added to it so removable.

For example, this accessory 75 is suitable for interlock in the support side plates 12 of the distributor 10.

With this object, it presents laterally elastically deformable pins 76, which, hook-shaped, are suitable to cooperate with notches provided for this purpose in these support side plates 12, and not visible in the figure.

Naturally, the present invention is not limited. to the described and represented embodiments, but that encompasses any variant of execution and / or combination of its various elements
