Abstract

The equipment is intended to be used as a security device to prevent unauthorised use of a domestic appliance or to prevent disturbance of a program control setting. It consists simple of a rectangular box (1) which is large enough to house a plug, switch or time-clock for example. The box has a lid (2) and a conventional lock (3). Two notches (4) are cut in the middle of two opposite sides of the box and the electric cable lives in these when the box is in position. The box may have a hole (5) in the base to permit viewing or adjust of the contents.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour empêcher des personnes non autorisées à mettre en service un appareil électrique alimenté par un câble, ou à modifier le réglage d'un programmateur placé sur ce câble et chargé de programmer thora re de fonctionnement. The present invention relates to a device for preventing unauthorized persons from putting into service an electrical appliance powered by a cable, or from modifying the setting of a programmer placed on this cable and responsible for programming operating hours.

Traditionnellement pour interdire l'usage d'un appareil branché sur le secteur il faut le munir soit d'un interrupteur manoeuvré par une clef, soit d'une porte fermant à clef qui contrôle l'accès à l'interrupeur ou au programmateur placés sur l'appareil, soit placer sur le cordon d'alimentation un interrupteur manoeuvré par. une clef. Traditionally, to prohibit the use of a device connected to the mains, it must be fitted either with a switch operated by a key, or with a lockable door which controls access to the switch or to the programmer placed on the appliance, or place a switch operated by on the power cord. a key.

De même, traditionnellement, pour interdire la reprogrammation d'un programmateur chargé de programmer les temps de fonctionnement d'un appareil alimenté par le secteur, il faut rendre impossible l'accès ou la manoeuvre du dispositif de programmation par un mécanisme manoeuvré par une clef. Likewise, traditionally, to prohibit the reprogramming of a programmer responsible for programming the operating times of an appliance powered by the mains, it is necessary to make it impossible to access or operate the programming device by a mechanism operated by a key. .

Pour obtenir ces limitations d'emploi lorsque cela n'a pas été prévu par le constructeur, il faut modifier soit l'appareil, soit le cordon d'alimentation , soit le programmateur, et l'utilisateur craint parfois d'entreprendre un tel travail ou ne souhaite pas modifier l'aspect d'origine. To obtain these limitations of use when it was not provided by the manufacturer, it is necessary to modify either the device, or the power cord, or the programmer, and the user is sometimes afraid to undertake such work. or do not want to change the original appearance.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet une boite fermant a' clef dans laquelle peuvent être à la demande enfermés, sans qu'ils soient modifiés et sans modification de leur agencement, soit la fiche d'alimentation, soit un interrupteur manuel placé sur le câble d'alimentation, soit un interrupteur programmable placé sur l'alimentation, soit une prise de courant programmatrice, soit une combinaison de ces éléments. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. It indeed includes a lockable box in which can be locked on demand, without being modified and without modifying their arrangement, either the power plug or a manual switch placed on the power cable , either a programmable switch placed on the power supply, or a programmable power outlet, or a combination of these elements.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférentielle la boite est munie d'encoches pour le passage des cordons électriques et ces encoches sont fermées par la fermeture du couvercle. According to a preferred embodiment the box is provided with notches for the passage of electrical cords and these notches are closed by closing the cover.

Selon une variante la boite est munie d'un orifice permettant le-passage soit de l'alimentation d'une prise femelle placée dans la boite, soit de l'alimentation d'une prise femelle programmatrice ou d'un programmateur relié à une prise femelle placés dans la boîte. Cet orifice est tel qu'on ne puisse pas sans ouvrir le couvercle sortir les éléments enfermés dans la boite, ou y accéder pour en modifier les réglages, la position ou l'agencement. En outre, comme dans la forme de réalisation préférentielle la boite est munie d'au moins une encoche fermée par la fermeture du couvercle, pour le passage du cordon d'alimentation de l'appareil. According to a variant, the box is provided with an orifice allowing the passage either of the supply of a female socket placed in the box, or of the supply of a programmer socket or of a programmer connected to a socket. female placed in the box. This orifice is such that it is impossible, without opening the lid, to remove the elements enclosed in the box, or to access them to modify the settings, the position or the arrangement. In addition, as in the preferred embodiment, the box is provided with at least one notch closed by the closing of the cover, for the passage of the power cord of the device.

La figure 1 représente, en perspective, un dispositif selon l'invention. Figure 1 shows, in perspective, a device according to the invention.

La figure 2 représente, en perspective, une variante de ce dispositif. Figure 2 shows, in perspective, a variant of this device.

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 1 comporte une boîte (1) dont les dimensions sont de l'ordre de quelques centimètres pour la longueur, la largeur et la hauteur. La boite est fermée par un couvercle (2) et munie d'une serrure (3). Des encoches (4) sont pratiquées dans les côtes de la boite; pour contrôler un seul appareil 2 encoches sont suffisantes. Ces encoches sont fermées par la fermeture de la boite. The device shown in Figure 1 comprises a box (1) whose dimensions are of the order of a few centimeters for length, width and height. The box is closed by a cover (2) and provided with a lock (3). Notches (4) are made in the sides of the box; to control a single device 2 notches are sufficient. These notches are closed by closing the box.

Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 2 la boite comporte en outre un orifice (5).  In the embodiment according to Figure 2 the box further comprises an orifice (5).
