Description

TITLE: SOCKET ROTATOR

DESCRIPTION

State of the art:

Over time, the torsion problem has involved several resources in the search for a device capable of reducing the effects of rotational movement on bodies.

In particular, it is still difficult to prevent an electric wire connected to a socket from dampening the torsion induced by the rotation of the mobile instruments connected to it.

The purpose of innovation:

It consists of the need to connect two or more electrical wires to a mobile device, allowing total rotation without intertwining the cables.

In fact, it very often happens that the wires are attached to devices subject to rotary movement, which, not being able to unload the torsion at the end, remain crossed on themselves. Think of the telephone handset or the hair dryer and other commonly used objects.

Aoolication range:

The invention is particularly suitable in the field of sockets or power adapters.

Very useful for all small objects that remain connected to a current source to work and that for their use we subject to rotational movements.

The rotation of the wire is not damped and after some time the connecting wire begins to tangle on itself.

To compensate for the twist, the wire is manually brought back to its original position by rotating it in the opposite direction to the direction of the twist.

Composition:

The device consists of three distinct cylindrical plastic shapes.

The first section is exactly the same as the last section and has 4 holes on the external surface. One hole in the center, two holes on the outside, equidistant from each other, from the center to the outside and the last hole at the far end from the opposite side. The choice of the location of the external holes was determined by the need to facilitate the rotary movement. The electric wires will be housed in the holes except for the central hole, which for this part of the description will remain available for use. Ref.table n. 1, figure 1.1.

The internal part of the section will consist of three separate, concave circular channels dug into the plastic in correspondence with the external holes. The channels will be semicircular in shape. Ref.table n. 1, figure 1.2. The drawing shows the section divided into two parts to highlight the sliding channels.

The inside of the channels will be covered with current conducting material.

The electrical wires, connected from the outside to the first section, will reach the conductive material inside the disc through the external holes.

Inside the concave plastic channels, in contact with the conductive material, there will be housing for the metal balls Ref. Table no.

2, figure 2.1. The drawing shows the section divided into two parts to highlight the housing of the balls in the sliding channels.

The spheres will be enclosed in the semi-circular channels, they will be, at the same time, in contact with the conducting material of the channels and exposed in the outermost part to be in contact with the central section.

The metal spheres will have the function of passing the current from the external disk to the central disk and thus to the last section.

The central section has a circular, flat and thin shape and in correspondence with the channels of the external sections it will have set three circular discs formed with conductive material and a central hole. Ref.table n. 2, figure 2.2.

The conducting material of the central section will be placed on the metal spheres which, through the top of the semicircle, which is open for this purpose, will allow the passage of electricity Ref. Table no. 3, figure 3.1. The drawing shows the section divided into two parts to highlight the correspondence with the sliding channels of the spheres.

The current now arrives at the first section through the connecting spheres reaches the central section and in the same way reaches the third and last section.

Currently the device allows the simple passage of current.

To allow for mobility of the device, leaving the external sections free to move without twisting the wires, the device must rotate.

To allow rotation, a pin must be inserted in the central hole that passes through all the sections Ref. Table no. 3, figure 3.2. The drawing shows the section divided into two parts to highlight the operating mechanism.

The three different sections will be placed on top of each other and joined together by a central pin.

Simply touching the three different sections will allow the discs to rotate around the central pivot.

The rotational movement will be facilitated by the presence of the spheres in the different channels.

In particular, the central section will be free to move independently and will allow to dampen the torsion of the wires without interrupting the flow of current which will be free to pass between the different interconnected sections.

Unlike similar devices, the presence of metal spheres, as current conductors, will have the advantage of making rotation extremely smoother with a low resistance to friction of the materials.

With this solution all the sections will be able to rotate independently of each other, having a neutral effect on the twist of the different wires.

THE! The device will thus be free to rotate 365 °, in both directions, without interrupting the flow of current and without crossing the electric wires which will remain independent.

The object of the invention is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept expressed in the attached claims. All the details can be replaced by other technically equivalent elements, and the materials can be different according to the requirements, without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.

The device has the purpose of preventing the wires from twisting due to the rotation of the objects to which they are connected.

It is characterized by the presence of an interposed section that will compensate for the torsion through rotation.

The problem of twisting the wires is overcome with the insertion of an autonomous component, connected by simple support to the ends and which performs its function through rotation.

Technical features:

The device is formed of three cylindrical discs, the first perfectly identical to the last. The functionality of the device provides for the input / output of the current from 3 external holes, the passage of the current through the first section by means of the contact between the conductive material, of which the 3 circular channels built inside are covered, reaches the metal spheres inserted in the first and third sections; and is characterized by the interposition of a central section which will be characterized by the presence of discs in conductive material in correspondence with the channels of the first and last section which will thus be in contact with the spheres; the three sections will be joined by contact by a central pin that will enclose the contents.
