Description

DISPOSITIF D'INTERRUPTION DE CIRCUIT ELECTRIQUE
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif d'interruption de circuit électrique multiple, utilisable en basse tension.ELECTRIC CIRCUIT INTERRUPTION DEVICE
The present invention relates to a multiple electrical circuit interruption device, usable at low voltage.

Un premier but de l'invention est de réaliser un dispositif de fabrication simple et peu onéreuse. A first object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive manufacturing device.

Un deuxième but de l'invention est de réaliser un dispositif permettant la visualisation des liaisons effectuées, sans risque d'erreur. A second object of the invention is to provide a device for viewing the connections made, without risk of error.

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif d'interruption de circuit électrique multiple caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un bloc en matière isolante moulée traversé de part en part par une pluralité de conducteurs venus comme inserts lors du moulage et dépassant de part et d'autre dudit bloc, le bloc comportant, au droit de chacun des conducteurs, un trou dans lequel peut être introduit un pion isolant qui brise le conducteur et ouvre le circuit électrique du conducteur correspondant. The subject of the invention is a multiple electrical circuit interrupting device characterized in that it comprises a block of molded insulating material traversed right through by a plurality of conductors coming as inserts during molding and protruding from both sides. 'Other of said block, the block comprising, to the right of each of the conductors, a hole in which can be introduced an insulating pin which breaks the conductor and opens the electrical circuit of the corresponding conductor.

Avantageusement, le bloc est un parallélépipède allongé et les fils sont disposés en une nappe parallèle à une grande face du bloc. Advantageously, the block is an elongated parallelepiped and the wires are arranged in a sheet parallel to a large face of the block.

De préférence, les pions sont d'une couleur différente de celle du bloc. Preferably, the pieces are of a different color from that of the block.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation, les pions sont de couleurs différentes. In a particular embodiment, the pawns are of different colors.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation, les deux extrémités de chacun des conducteurs sont pliées à angle droit pour constituer des broches d'insertion dans un circuit imprimé. In a particular embodiment, the two ends of each of the conductors are bent at right angles to form pins for insertion into a printed circuit.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description donnée ci-après d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif d'interruption électrique multiple selon l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupé transversale du bloc au niveau d'un trou,
- la figure 3 est une vue en élévation en coupe d'un dispositif selon l'invention adapté à l'utilisation sur un circuit imprimé, dans lequel le circuit électrique du conducteur visible dans la figure est fermé,
- la figure 4 est une vue en élévation en coupe du même dispositif dans lequel le circuit électrique du conducteur visible dans la figure est ouvert.The invention will be clearly understood on reading the description given below of an embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a multiple electrical interruption device according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the block at the level of a hole,
FIG. 3 is a sectional elevation view of a device according to the invention suitable for use on a printed circuit, in which the electrical circuit of the conductor visible in the figure is closed,
- Figure 4 is a sectional elevation view of the same device in which the electrical circuit of the conductor visible in the figure is open.

Le dispositif de l'invention est préférentiellement constitué d'un bloc parallélépipédique 1 en matière isolante moulable, telle qu'une résine polyester, dans laquelle est insérée une pluralité de conducteurs 2, par exemple des fils de cuivre, disposés parallèlement entre eux selon une nappe parallèle à une grande face du bloc. The device of the invention preferably consists of a parallelepiped block 1 of moldable insulating material, such as a polyester resin, into which is inserted a plurality of conductors 2, for example copper wires, arranged parallel to each other in a tablecloth parallel to a large face of the block.

Le bloc comporte, au droit de chaque conducteur, un trou cylindrique 3 perpendiculaire à la grande face précitée et traversant le bloc; en variante le trou peut être borgne. The block includes, to the right of each conductor, a cylindrical hole 3 perpendicular to the aforementioned large face and passing through the block; alternatively the hole can be blind.

Le connecteur est complété par une série de pions cylindriques 4, pouvant être introduits dans les trous 3 et venant briser le conducteur correspondant. The connector is completed by a series of cylindrical pins 4, which can be introduced into the holes 3 and breaking the corresponding conductor.

Le dispositif est utilisé comme suit: les connexions du montage à effectuer sont réalisées en utilisant une partie des conducteurs 2; lorsque toutes les connexions sont réalisées, des pions 4 sont introduits dans les trous correspondant aux conducteurs non utilisés pour le montage et enfoncés jusqu'à briser ces conducteurs. De la sorte, le montage ne peut plus être modifié; aucun risque de déconnexion ne peut survenir pour les autres conducteurs puisque ceux-ci sont protégés par la masse du bloc. The device is used as follows: the connections of the assembly to be made are made using part of the conductors 2; when all the connections are made, pins 4 are introduced into the holes corresponding to the conductors not used for mounting and pressed in until breaking these conductors. In this way, the assembly can no longer be modified; no risk of disconnection can arise for other conductors since they are protected by the earth of the block.

En donnant aux pions une couleur différente de celle du bloc, on peut visualiser le montage effectué. By giving the pawns a different color from that of the block, we can visualize the assembly carried out.

Les pions peuvent eux-mêmes être de couleurs différentes. The pieces can themselves be of different colors.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation représenté dans les figures 3 et 4, les extrémités 2A et 2B des conducteurs 2 sont pliées à angle droit-pour constituer des broches pour coopérer avec une plaque de circuit imprimé 5 portant des pistes 6. In a particular embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the ends 2A and 2B of the conductors 2 are bent at right angles - to form pins to cooperate with a printed circuit board 5 carrying tracks 6.

Dans la figure 3, le circuit électrique du conducteur 2 est fermé; dans la figure 4, le circuit électrique du conducteur 2 est ouvert car le pion a été enfoncé. In Figure 3, the electrical circuit of conductor 2 is closed; in Figure 4, the electrical circuit of conductor 2 is open because the pin has been pressed.

On prévoira un point dur pour l'enfoncement du pion, tel que par exemple une saillie du pion coopérant avec une gorge du bloc, de manière à éviter tout enfoncement intempestif du pion lors de la manipulation de la carte de circuit imprimé. A hard point will be provided for the insertion of the pin, such as for example a projection of the pin cooperating with a groove in the block, so as to avoid any untimely depression of the pin during the manipulation of the printed circuit board.

L'invention présente de nombreux avantages:
- l'état ouvert ou fermé du circuit d'un conducteur est visible par la position du pion,
- la portion de conducteur coupée reste prisionnière du bloc, ce qui accroît la sécurité du circuit,
- le dispositif se prête à l'automatisation,
- le dispositif présente une bonne tenue diélectrique,
- le dispositif est de fabrication peu coûteuse.The invention has many advantages:
- the open or closed state of a driver's circuit is visible by the position of the pin,
- the cut conductor portion remains trapped in the block, which increases the safety of the circuit,
- the device is suitable for automation,
- the device has good dielectric strength,
- The device is inexpensive to manufacture.

L'invention s'applique à la réalisation de montage en basse tension.  The invention applies to the production of low voltage mounting.
