Description

The present invention relates to the field of devices for maintaining

  cable (s) connected to an electrical appliance.

  Conventionally, such a device comprises a base capable of being secured to the device and a cable clamping jaw capable of being mounted on at least one upright of the base in order to assume a locking position in which the

  cable is clamped against a bottom wall of the base.

  A device of this type is described for example in patent DE 25 05 628. The jaw of this device has an opening intended to engage on each of two uprights and snap hooks intended

  to hang in a toothing provided on each upright.

  This device has given and can still give satisfaction, but it has the disadvantage of being difficult to unlock because it requires an action of

  the user on a lever acting on each of the jaw hooks.

  In addition, the quality of the clamping of the jaw depends on the resistance of the hooks and the pressure force exerted by the operator acting on the jaw.

to lock it.

  If the clamping force of the jaw hooks is insufficient, such a device does not perfectly immobilize the cable which can slide between the base

  and the jaw, at the risk of disconnecting the cables.

  A device as described in document FR 2 717 246, comprising a base with a pivoting cover provided with elastic arms for clamping and centering each cable individually, can remedy this latter drawback. The presence of individual elastic arms for each cable makes such a device

  cumbersome if a large amount of cables must be maintained.

  The object of the present invention is to propose a compact cable (s) holding device ensuring both secure pinching of one or more cables.

  between the base and the jaw which is easy to handle.

  The present invention relates to a device for holding at least one cable connected to an electrical appliance, comprising a base capable of being secured to the appliance and a cable clamping jaw capable of being mounted on at least one upright of the base to be guided along the upright towards the contact of the cable with a locking means clamping the cable against a bottom wall of the base, characterized in that: - said upright comprises an oblique guide relative to the bottom wall of the base , - said jaw comprises a pivoting member capable of engaging in said guide, said pivoting member is adapted to rotate in said guide for locking the jaw by rotation of a fraction of a turn, - said jaw comprises at least one tooth able to mesh in at

  at least one notch of said upright in the locked position.

  The tightening of the cable (s) in the base takes place by simple mounting of the jaw on the base for locking, for the benefit of the installation time. Any intervention prior to removing a cable from the base or adding a cable in

  the base is limited to simple disassembly or unlocking of the jaw.

  The clamping efficiency is guaranteed by the obliquity of the guide of the pivoting means relative to the bottom wall of the base and, during locking, by the rotation of the pivoting member of the jaw by a fraction of a turn in progressing

  on the oblique guide in the direction of approximation of the bottom wall.

  According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the guide is inclined

  at an acute angle to the bottom wall.

  According to another characteristic beneficial to the efficiency of the cable holding device (s) object of the invention, the jaw has a surface of

pinch forming cam.

  According to an advantageous arrangement, the pinching surface forming a cam comprises a first abutment portion centered on an axis, a second eccentric gripping portion and a third clamping portion adapted to be placed substantially parallel to the bottom wall when the

  jaw is in the locked position.

  The cam effect produced by the eccentric pinching portion, by inducing the passage of a hard point during the rotation of the jaw, makes it possible to prevent the jaw from being able to undergo a reverse rotation (unlocking) by pushing of the cable. According to an advantageous arrangement, said pivoting member comprises

a section of journal.

  According to another advantageous arrangement, said pivoting member

  comprises said tooth projecting from the periphery of the journal section.

  Advantageously, said pivoting member comprises a plurality of teeth forming a toothed sector, said guide comprises a ramp and, parallel to this, a plurality of notches forming a rack and the trunnion section.

has a rolling area.

  According to another advantageous arrangement, the pivoting member comprises a so-called rear finger projecting from the periphery of the journal section with a section having an upper surface capable of sliding.

  against the top of the rack teeth.

  According to another advantageous arrangement, the pivoting member further comprises a so-called front finger projecting from the periphery of the journal section with a front edge forming with said surface

  greater than a predetermined angle.

  Advantageously, the predetermined angle corresponds to the aforementioned fraction of a turn. Advantageously, the aforementioned fraction of a turn is substantially equal to one

quarter turn.

  According to a particular arrangement, the cable holding device (s) is characterized in that: - the ramp is the edge of a first wall of the upright, - the rack is located on a return of a second wall of the parallel upright to the first wall extending directly above an interval between the first wall and the second wall, - each of the fingers is able to engage in the interval, - the toothed sector covers a fraction of the periphery of the pivoting member corresponding to the aforementioned fraction of a turn, outside the peripheral zones occupied by the fingers and opposite the zone

of rolling.

  According to an advantageous arrangement, the cable holding device (s) comprises polarization means determining an orientation of the jaw by

  insertion of the pivoting member into a mouthpiece of the upright guide.

  This prevents incorrect insertion of the jaw into the base.

  According to a particular arrangement, for the coding: - the base comprises a rear wall transversely connecting the first wall and the second wall and closing the gap at one end, the mouth provides a passage at the entrance of the guide adapted to I ' engagement of the front finger and the journal section, and - the two fingers generally forming an L, the introduction of the pivoting member into the mouth implies that the front finger is placed against the rear wall at the right of the interval , that the rear finger is placed on the rear wall, and that the toothed sector and the rear finger

  are placed in the extension of the guide.

  According to an advantageous arrangement, the cable holding device (s) is characterized by the arrangement of roughness on the bottom wall, in particular

  in the form of transverse ribs.

  The roughness tends to anchor in the insulation of the cable or cables and to prevent them from sliding in the base for the benefit of maintaining the

  connection of the cable (s) to the electrical appliance.

  According to a particular arrangement, the base comprises two lateral uprights and the jaw two pivoting members. In this case, the cable (s) are placed between the uprights of the base and the jaw mounts between the uprights

for locking.

  According to the embodiment shown, the cable holding device 1 according to the invention comprises a base 3 intended to receive a cable 7

  (Figure 2 for example) and a jaw 5.

  The cable holding device 1 is intended to be associated with a

  electrical appliance (not shown) to which cable 7 is connected.

  The base 3 comprises a bottom wall 12 and two longitudinal lateral uprights 20. Roughness is formed on the bottom wall 12, in this case

transverse ribs 14.

  The cable 7 is intended to be placed inside the base 3, that is to say

  against the bottom wall 12, between the uprights 20.

  Each upright 20 has two walls perpendicular to the bottom wall 12: an inner wall 22 connecting to the bottom wall 12 by a fillet and an outer wall 24 parallel to the inner wall 22 (Figure 12). The edge of each internal wall 22 located opposite the bottom wall 12 has a straight portion 26 (Figures 2 and 4) parallel to the bottom wall 12 and, connected to this straight portion 26, a portion inclined in the direction of the bottom wall 12 forming a ramp 28 inclined at an acute angle a (by

  example 15) relative to the direction of the bottom wall 12.

  Each outer wall 24 extends parallel to the inner wall 22 and over a height greater than the latter, with a straight portion 30 parallel to the straight portion 26 and an inclined portion 32 parallel to the ramp 28 (Figures 2 and 4 ). Each external wall 24 has a return 40 extending perpendicular to the gap formed between the internal 22 and external 24 walls, perpendicular to the external wall 24 and parallel to the ramp 28 of the

corresponding internal wall 22.

  Each return 40 forms a rack 42.

  The concept of front and rear is defined in relation to the ramp, where any rear point (upstream) is further from the bottom wall 12 than any other

point before (downstream).

  Each upright 20 has a front wall 50 and a rear wall 52 perpendicular to the bottom wall 12, transversely connecting its walls

  internal 22 and external 24 at the ends of the bottom wall 12.

  Each front wall 50 extends to the corresponding return 40, at which

it is connected by a leave.

  Each rear wall 52 extends to an intermediate level situated between the straight portion 26 of the edge of the corresponding internal wall 22 and of the edge of the straight portion 30 of the corresponding external wall 24, said rear wall 52 forming on its edge an abutment surface called edge of

stop 54 (Figures 2 and 11).

  Near the abutment edge 54, the front face of each wall

  rear 52 forms a stop face 56 (Figures 2 and 11).

  The abutment edge 54 and the abutment face 56 intersect along an edge

(figure 11).

  Each upright 20 has, in the interval between its internal wall 22 and its external wall 24, an internal housing 60 (Figure 12) further delimited

  by its front wall 50 and its rear wall 52.

  Between the internal wall 22 and the corresponding external wall 24, each

  upright 20 has at the rear a reinforcing rib 62.

  A mouth 64 (Figures 11 and 12) of each of the uprights is delimited by the edge 40A of the rear end of the return 40 (edge the least distant from the rear wall 52), the straight portion 26 of the edge of the wall internal 22 corresponding, and the abutment face 56 of the rear wall 52 corresponding. In the mouth 64, a distance D1 (FIG. 11) separates the abutment face 56 from a plane parallel to it and passing through the end edge 40A of the

back 40.

  The jaw 5 comprises a body with a handle.

  The body of the jaw 5 has a main wall (shown in longitudinal section in Figures 7 and 9) comprising a handle portion 70 and a cable holding portion 72 of generally U-shaped section. Two flanges 74 (Figures 1, 1A and 3 ) laterally close the portion of

cable retention 72.

  Each flange 74 carries a hand 76 which will be described in more detail

later.

  To stiffen its structure, the jaw 5 has transverse reinforcing ribs, on the one hand, 70A (FIG. 7) at the level of the portion of the main wall forming handle body 70 and, on the other hand, 72 A (FIGS. 3 and 4) at the level of the

  cable retention portion 72.

  One of the faces of the cable holding portion 72 forms a surface

pinch.

  The nipping surface (FIG. 2) has a first curved portion hereinafter called the abutment portion 80 centered on the axis A, a second eccentric portion relative to the axis A hereinafter called the nipping portion 82 connected to the stop portion 80 and a third portion hereinafter called substantially flat clamping portion 84 connected to the

  nipping portion 82 (Figures 2, 7 and 9).

  In Figure 2, the base 3 is shown placed horizontally. The jaw 5 is shown near the base 3, ready to be engaged in the latter, the clamping portion 84 being positioned vertically, perpendicular to the wall of

  bottom 12. The abutment portion 80 is positioned opposite the bottom wall 12.

  As will be seen in more detail later, after engagement of the jaw and sliding approach, the abutment portion 80 is capable of abutting on the cable 7 (FIGS. 3 and 7) before rotation of the jaw 5 to place it in the position of locking (Figures 4 and 9), the pinching portion 82 is capable of clamping the cable 7 towards the bottom wall 12 by crossing a hard point during the rotation of the jaw 5 to reach the locked position with cable clamping by the clamping portion 84 against the bottom wall 12 when the jaw is

in its locked position.

  Each hand 76 which forms a pivoting member comprises an axis of rotation A (FIG. 2) and has, perpendicular to the flange 74 which carries it, a portion of cylinder of axis A forming a section of trunnion 90 of equal diameter

  for example to a centimeter (Figure 1A).

  Reported laterally on said trunnion section 90, each hand 76 has two substantially L-shaped fingers, a finger said hereinafter by simple convenience, front finger 92 (FIGS. 1A and 2A) and a finger said hereinafter simply by

rear finger convenience 94.

  The rear finger 94 has on its edge an upper surface 100 determining in the position considered an angle substantially equal to oa relative to the horizontal (Figure 2), that is to say an angle equal to 90 or relative to the portion tightening 84. The rear finger has a rear edge 102 (FIG. 2A) substantially perpendicular to said upper surface 100 and connecting to the latter and a lower edge 104 parallel to said

upper surface 100.

  The front finger 92 has a rear edge 106 substantially parallel to the clamping portion 84 and connecting to the lower edge 104 at a stop 103, a lower edge 108 substantially parallel to the upper surface 100 and connecting to the edge rear 106 and a front edge 110 perpendicular to the bottom edge 108 and connecting to

the latter.

  Each hand 76 has a plurality of teeth forming a toothed sector

  , projecting from the periphery of the journal section 90.

  Ultimately, each hand is configured as if it included a thumb (rear finger 94), another finger (front finger 92) and the toothed sector

playing the role of wrist.

  Referring to FIG. 2A, it will be noted that at one of the ends of the toothed sector 120, a tooth 120A is connected both to the trunnion section 90 and to the upper surface 100 (see also in FIG. 1A). The plane P1 of the upper surface 100 is tangent to the tooth 120A at the level of a generator 122A, at a distance from the base of the tooth 120A connecting to the surface

higher 100.

  At the other end of the toothed sector 120, a tooth 120B is connected

  both to the trunnion section 90 and to the front edge 110.

  A plane P2 parallel to the upper surface 100 is tangent to the tooth

  B at a generator 122B and at the trunnion section 90.

  A distance D2 separates a plane P3 containing the rear edge 106 of the front finger 92 from a plane P4 parallel to P3 and tangent to the toothed sector 120 on

a generator 123.

  A distance D3 separates the generator 122A from the generator 122B, this distance being slightly less than the width D4 of the passage forming an oblique guide between the tops of the teeth of the rack 42 and the ramp 28 (FIG. 11).

  A description will now be given of the implementation of the

  device which is the subject of the invention, assuming that a cable 7 is positioned at

inside the base.

  During this implementation, three main steps can be distinguished: a step of engaging the jaw 5 in the base 3, an approach step with sliding of the jaw 5 in the base 3 from the rear to the front to make the jaw 5 comes into abutment against the cable 7 and a pinching step by pivoting causing a clamping by additional predetermined sliding

  jaw 5 to place it in the locked position.

  Before its mounting in the base, the jaw 5 is presented near the mouth 64 of the oblique guide, as shown in FIG. 2. The clamping portion 84 is oriented substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall 12

  and the abutment portion 80 is presented opposite the bottom wall 12.

  During the engagement step, the jaw 5 is moved in the direction and direction of the arrow B in FIG. 2, the hands 76 of the jaw 5 are engaged in

  the mouths 64 and the body of the jaw 5 arrives between the uprights 20.

  When each hand 76 engages in the mouth 64 of the corresponding amount (FIG. 11), the lower edge 104 of the rear finger 94 abuts against the stop edge 54 and the rear edge 106 of the front finger 92 comes resting on the abutment face 56 (the edge 103 then being in abutment

on edge 55).

  The upper surface 100 comes substantially in alignment with the plane

  tangent to the top of the teeth of the rack 42.

  The tooth 120A is placed near the rear end of the return 40 and

rack 42.

  The tooth 120B arrives near the ramp 28.

  The free end of the front finger 92 enters the interval 60, between the

  internal wall 22 and external wall 24, close to the straight portion 26.

  The geometrical configuration of each hand 76 and that of each mouthpiece 64 are such that when each hand 76 is engaged in the mouthpiece 60 of the corresponding amount, the hands 76 and the mouthpieces 64 cooperate to constitute a determining keying means the orientation of the jaw 5 while avoiding any incorrect insertion of the jaw into the base 3. The mouth 64 provides a passage at the entrance of the guide adapted to the engagement of the front finger 92 and of the journal section. For this, the distance D1 is at least equal to the distance D2 and less than the smallest distance separating the generator 123 from the rear edge 102 of the rear finger 94. The two fingers 92 and 94 generally forming an L, the introduction of the pivoting member 76 in the mouth 64 implies that the front finger 92 is placed against the rear wall 52 at the right of the interval 60, that the rear finger 94 is placed on the rear wall 52, and that the toothed sector 120 and the rear finger 94

  are placed in the extension of the guide.

  During the approach step with sliding of the jaw 5 in the base 3, the hands 76 slide in the oblique guide until the jaw 5 comes in

stop against cable 7.

  The upper surface 100 slides along the top of the teeth of the rack 42, the generator 122A of the tooth 120A passing near the top of the teeth of the rack 42. The tooth 120A is ready to mesh

  in a notch between two adjacent teeth of the rack 42.

  The pin portion 90 slides on the ramp 28, the tooth 120B being located near this ramp 28, its generator 122B entering

  possibly in contact with it.

  At least the free end of the front finger 92 slides in the interval 60,

  between the internal wall 22 and the external wall 24.

  Figure 12, the ramp 28 and the tops of the teeth of the rack 42 form the oblique guide and the gap 60 form slide for the hands 76 of the jaw. The confinement of the front finger 92 between the internal wall 22 and the external wall 24 ensures transverse guiding of the jaw 5 in the base 3 during the

sliding approach.

  As illustrated in particular in FIG. 7, the clamping portion 84 remains oriented substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall 12, the distance between the bottom wall 12 and the transverse generatrix of the stop portion 80 closest to the bottom wall 12 decreasing until this generator comes into contact with the cable 7, the jaw 5 then being in abutment on

this cable.

  During the pivoting clamping step which follows, the jaw rotates around the axis A to pass from its abutment position (FIG. 7) to its locking position (FIG. 9) by action of the user, the toothed sector 120 meshes with the rack 42, the abutment portion 80 slides against the cable 7, relayed by the nipping portion 82 then by the clamping portion 84 which

presses on cable 7.

  The tooth 120A comes first to mesh between two adjacent teeth of the rack 42. Simultaneously, the rear finger 94 engages in the interval 60 to slide therein, and the stop portion 80 then the nip portion 82

slide against the cable 7.

  The other teeth of the toothed sector 120 then mesh in the following notches towards the front of the rack. Simultaneously, the rear finger ends its engagement in the interval 60 and slides there, the front finger 92 emerges therefrom, the pinching portion 82 continues to advance by crushing the cable 7 and, while the tooth 120B engages in turn in the rack, the clamping portion 84 pinches the cable 7. The jaw 5 is then in its locked position with the clamping surface 84 positioned parallel to the wall

background 12.

  During the pivoting pinch step which has just been described, a

  zone 90A (FIGS. 8 and 10) of the trunnion section 90 rolls on the ramp 28.

  The rolling of the trunnion section 90 on the ramp 28 during the engagement of the teeth of the toothed sector 120 in the notches of the rack 42 causes a reduction in the distance separating the axis A from the bottom wall 12,

  for the benefit of pinching the cable against the bottom wall 12.

  When the nip portion 82 is in contact with the cable, the distance separating the bottom wall 12 of the current transverse generator from the eccentric surface in contact with the cable is variable. When the generator of the nip portion 82 furthest from the axis A is in contact with the cable 7, the distance separating the nip portion 82 from the

bottom wall 12 is minimal.

  The cam effect produced by the pinching portion 82, by inducing the passage of a hard point during the rotation of the jaw 5, makes it possible to prevent the jaw from being able to undergo a reverse rotation (unlocking) by pushing the cable.

front to back.

  An additional approximation is induced by the unwinding of the journal section 90 on the ramp 28 during the unwinding of the toothed sector in the rack 42: after the passage of the nipping portion 82 on the cable 7, the cable 7 is clamped by compression against the bottom wall 12, the ribs 14 formed on the bottom wall tending to be anchored in the insulation

  cable 7 and prevent it from sliding in the base 3.

  In the embodiment shown, the clamping portion 84 has roughness, in this case transverse ribs 15 (FIGS. 9 and

12).

  The jaw 5 is unlocked simply by reversing the

above steps.

  In the example described, the jaw rotation is a quarter of a turn, the toothed sector 120 covers a quarter of the value of the circumference of the journal section 90. The front edge 110 and the upper surface 100 form between them a angle coinciding with the fraction of a turn corresponding to the rotation of the jaw to pass from its stop position to its locking position. The angle between the two fingers is favorable to the sliding capacities,

axial and polarization guidance.

  For reasons of ease of molding, the return 40 extends perpendicular to the housing 60 but does not extend in line with the ramp 28. Only the portion of toothed sector 120 located at the periphery of the pivoting member

  76 opposite to that occupied by the fingers 92, 94 meshes in the rack.

  The presence of the toothed sector 120 at the periphery of the pivoting member situated opposite the zone 90A of the trunnion section 90 rolling on the ramp 28 promotes the solidity of the pivoting member without adversely affecting the manufacture

bit 5.

  Alternatively, to promote the maintenance of several cables of different diameters, the bottom wall of the base may include elastic means such as longitudinal leaf springs. Advantageously, the elastic means may include roughness such as transverse ribs.

  As a variant, a plate mounted on elastic means can be attached to the bottom wall 12, the cable passing between the added plate

and the bit 5.

  The elastic means (leaf springs or elastic insert return means) must exert a sufficient reaction force to tighten the

  cable by appropriate compression of its insulating sheath.

  Alternatively, the oblique guide may open directly behind the corresponding amount. The front and rear fingers can then be

  replaced by a simple washer or a portion of washer.

  As a variant, the device may comprise a single central upright comprising a single oblique guide with rack which cooperates with a central housing of the jaw provided with a hand. Such a central post device can also include a guide on each face and the jaw housing can have two hands. The important thing is that the guide of the pivoting means is oblique with respect to the bottom wall of the base and that, during locking, the pivoting member of the jaw pivots by a fraction of a turn while continuing to progress on

  the oblique guide to approach the bottom wall.

  In the example described, the abutment surface 56 is perpendicular to the bottom wall 12 and forms a straight dihedral with the abutment edge 54. The rear abutment edge 106 is substantially parallel to the clamping portion 84 and forms a dihedral angle 90 + cL with the lower edge 104. The geometrical values described above can be different and can, in this case, after the engagement step for example, oblige to rotate the jaw

  to bring the toothed sector in front of the entrance of the oblique guide.

  Alternatively, the keying means may consist of a pawn

  engaging in an amount guide.
