La présente invention conceme un bloc de jonction électrique comportant dans un boîtier des bomes de connexion exteme reliées entre elles par une barrette conductrice de liaison, cette barrette comprenant des moyens de connexion pour un cavalier amovible d'interconnexion avec la barrette conductrice d'un bloc adjacent. The present invention relates to an electrical terminal block comprising in a housing external connection terminals connected together by a conductive link bar, this bar comprising connection means for a removable jumper for interconnection with the conductive bar of a block. adjacent.

Elle conceme aussi le cavalier d'interconnexion susceptible d'être associé à un tel bloc.It also relates to the interconnection jumper likely to be associated with such a block.

Dans un bloc de jonction antérieur, décrit dans le brevet FR-2 393 448, le cavalier d'interconnexion est muni de deux branches conductrices dont chacune est destinée à s'insérer dans une fente ou échancrure prévue dans la barrette de liaison. In a previous terminal block, described in patent FR-2 393 448, the interconnection jumper is provided with two conductive branches, each of which is intended to be inserted in a slot or notch provided in the connecting strip.

La présence de ces fentes ou échancrures diminue la section utile de passage du courant dans la barrette ; d'autre part, lorsqu'on désire tester le bon fonctionnement du bloc de jonction, des dispositions particulières doivent être prévues dans celui-ci. The presence of these slots or notches reduces the useful section of current flow in the bar; on the other hand, when one wishes to test the proper functioning of the terminal block, special provisions must be made therein.

L'invention a pour but de combiner les dispositions prises pour assurer l'interconnexion du bloc de jonction avec un bloc adjacent, et le cas échéant effectuer un test sans altérer la section de la barrette de liaison. The object of the invention is to combine the measures taken to ensure the interconnection of the terminal block with an adjacent block, and if necessary carry out a test without altering the section of the connecting strip.

Selon l'invention:
- les moyens de connexion consistent en un élément disposé solidairement à la barrette transversalement à la longueur de celle-ci,
- I'élément de connexion est agencé pour coopérer d'une part avec le cavalier amovible d'interconnexion, d'autre part avec une fiche amovible de test.According to the invention:
the connection means consist of an element disposed integrally with the bar transversely to the length thereof,
- The connection element is arranged to cooperate on the one hand with the removable interconnection jumper, on the other hand with a removable test plug.

De préférence, I'élément de connexion est disposé au centre de la barrette et orthogonalement à celle-ci. L'élément de connexion peut être élastique ; il est de préférence rigide et formé solidairement avec la barrette par découpe et pliage. Preferably, the connection element is arranged in the center of the bar and orthogonally to it. The connection element can be elastic; it is preferably rigid and formed integrally with the bar by cutting and folding.

Le cavalier d'interconnexion peut avantageusement comprendre deux pièces élastiques de connexion et une partie isolante de préhension dotée d'une ouverture d'introduction de la fiche de test.The interconnection jumper can advantageously comprise two elastic connection pieces and an insulating grip part provided with an opening for introducing the test plug.

Le bloc de jonction illustré sur les figures 1 à 3 comporte un boîtier 10 en matière isolante et, dans celui-ci, deux bomes 11 de tout type connu, destinées à assurer le serrage et la connexion de conducteurs extemes. Aux bomes sont associées, dans une petite face frontale 12 du boîtier, des ouvertures d'accès 13 pour un outil de manoeuvre et, dans de petites faces latérales 14, des ouvertures 15 d'accès pour les conducteurs. Le boîtier comporte une grande paroi transversale 16 perpendiculaire à la fois au plan de symétrie P du boîtier et à un plan de montage Q du bloc sur un support tel qu'un profilé normalisé ; au boîtier sont associés sur les petites faces latérales 14 des éléments 17 porteurs de repères et à l'arrière un pied 18 d'encliquetage sur un profilé. The terminal block illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a housing 10 of insulating material and, therein, two terminals 11 of any known type, intended to ensure the clamping and connection of external conductors. The terminals are associated, in a small front face 12 of the housing, with access openings 13 for an operating tool and, in small lateral faces 14, access openings 15 for conductors. The housing has a large transverse wall 16 perpendicular both to the plane of symmetry P of the housing and to a mounting plane Q of the block on a support such as a standardized profile; the housing are associated on the small side faces 14 of the elements 17 bearing markers and at the rear a foot 18 of latching on a profile.

A l'intérieur du boîtier, les deux bomes 11 sont reliées entre elles par une liaison permanente ou sectionnable comprenant une barrette conductrice rigide 20. La barrette s'étend symétriquement par rapport au plan P et elle est munie selon l'invention d'un élément central de connexion 21 en forme de cheminée. La cheminée présente des surfaces interne 22 et exteme 23 en partie prismatiques ou cylindriques de directrice parallèle à P ; cette directrice pourrait être oblique mais est de préférence orthogonale. Inside the housing, the two booms 11 are connected to each other by a permanent or sectionable connection comprising a rigid conductive bar 20. The bar extends symmetrically with respect to the plane P and it is provided according to the invention with a central connection element 21 in the form of a chimney. The chimney has internal surfaces 22 and external 23 partly prismatic or cylindrical with a director parallel to P; this director could be oblique but is preferably orthogonal.

La barrette est avantageusement une pièce métallique conductrice, par exemple en laiton, découpée et pliée de manière à présenter d'une part des plages latérales de contact 24, 25 situées en regard des surfaces de pression des parties mobiles des bomes 11 et d'autre part une languette centrale formée et repliée pour constituer la cheminée 21. Une partie 26 de la paroi de la cheminée peut être découpée et pliée comme indiqué sur la figure 2 pour former une butée pour la fiche de test 30 dont l'introduction est illustrée par la figure 5. The bar is advantageously a conductive metal part, for example made of brass, cut and folded so as to have, on the one hand, lateral contact pads 24, 25 situated opposite the pressure surfaces of the moving parts of the terminals 11 and other share a central tongue formed and folded to form the chimney 21. A portion 26 of the wall of the chimney can be cut and folded as shown in Figure 2 to form a stop for the test sheet 30 whose introduction is illustrated by Figure 5.

Une partie surmoulée isolante de préhension 44 est prévue à la partie avant du cavalier, cette partie surmoulée étant dotée d'une ouverture centrale ou d'ouvertures latérales 45 centrées selon P et permettant, comme représenté sur la figure 3, I'introduction ou le retrait de la fiche de test sans qu'il soit nécessaire de démonter les cavaliers.  An overmolded insulating gripping part 44 is provided at the front part of the rider, this overmolded part being provided with a central opening or with lateral openings 45 centered along P and allowing, as shown in FIG. 3, the introduction or removal of the test sheet without the need to dismantle the jumpers.
