Abstract

PURPOSE: To facilitate mounting by entering a center one of three tightening rags into a conductor insertion path and swiveling the remaining two tightening rags to a conductor according to a conductor insertion direction due to swiveling a tightening tumbler. CONSTITUTION: A frontal rib collides with a tightening tumbler 3 in an insertion direction of a conductor 4. When the conductor 4 is further inserted, a right side tightening rag 7 is swiveled to a cover of the conductor 4 by turning movement of the tumbler 3, and free ends of the rags 5 and 7 are deformed according to a diameter of the conductor 4. As a result, a label carrier 1 is supported on a lower side of the conductor by double tightening action as a whole. When the conductor 4 is furthermore inserted, the tumbler 3 is automatically swiveled, and the free ends of the rags 5 and 7 are automatically deformed. Thereby, inclination-free, stable tightening can be obtained, and smooth attachment of the label carrier 1 to the conductor 4 can be guaranteed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a label carrier for a conductor reservoir, comprising a support with an upper label receiver, a side wall and a bottom part with a clamping device. area, and this clamping is in accordance with the conventional construction of such marking carriers (EP 8911
897-8), the clamping consists of a clamping lug which the device is provided with at one end in the bottom area of the support, which clamping lug with its free end extends upwardly and inwardly towards the top of the support. towards and extending toward the label receptor. This configuration allows the conductor to be inserted with good guidance in the otherwise closed hollow profile of the support, a significant clamping force is available via the clamping lugs, and it is also possible to insert conductors with a large diameter. can. However, with this configuration, the electrical conductor can only be inserted into the support of the marking carrier from one side, or the marking carrier can only be inserted onto the electrical conductor from one side. This presents an obstacle during assembly. Moreover, such label carriers are printed identically and can therefore only be read from one direction, right or left.

[Problem of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a label carrier that is easy to attach, convenient to tighten, and can be attached to a conductor from both directions.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention that solves the above problems is as described in claim 1.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the tightening tumbler described in claim 1, the label carrier can be inserted into the conductor from both directions, and the attachment is simple and the tightening is easy.

The guiding region of the electrical conductor provided on the support remains essentially open. The conductor hits the central clamping lug of the clamping tumbler during insertion. When the conductor is pushed in further, the clamping tumbler is rotated by the conductor through the central clamping lug, and depending on the insertion direction of the conductor, one of the clamping lugs on both sides becomes conductive. come into contact with the body. When the conductor is pushed in further, the conductor is doubly tightened to match its diameter due to the desired tightening of both clamping lugs acting on the conductor, and the conductor can be inserted on either side. There is complete freedom in the direction of insertion of the marking carrier onto the electrical conductor, in particular with regard to the desired reading direction in each case.

Advantageous configurations of the label carrier are specified in the other claims.

It is particularly advantageous that the clamping tumbler, which can be pivoted against resistance, is supported, especially in the lower region, via pivot lines connected to both side walls of the device. Furthermore, an elastic guiding and clamping strip provided in the upper region of the support can be used which contributes to the clamping and which is suitable for guiding the conductor towards the clamping tumbler when it is inserted. It is advantageous to place the label carrier immediately below the label receiver, which is convenient for attaching the label carrier to various conductors with large diameter differences.

[Example] The label carrier of the conductor reservoir is provided with a support body, which mainly includes an upper label receiving part l and a side wall 2 connected thereto.
and a bottom part, and this bottom part is formed approximately in the shape of a tightening tumbler 3. The bottom of the support defines a through passage for the reservoir of the conductor 4.

The clamping tumbler 3 essentially consists of three clamping lugs 56.7, which are connected at their inner ends to a pivot line, which is integrally formed in the lower region of both side walls 2. has been done. The central clamping lug 6 projects approximately vertically into the passage chamber for the electrical conductor 4 when the electrical conductor 4 is not inserted. Another tightening lug 5 is located approximately 90 degrees to the left from the center tightening lug 6, and the remaining tightening lugs 7 are located approximately 90 degrees to the right from the center tightening lug 6. In the penetration chamber for the electrical conductor defined by the support, below the marking receptacle l in the upper region with respect to the inserted electrical conductor, i.e. on the side opposite the clamping tumbler 3;
Two guide and clamping strips located above and laterally are formed.

According to the configuration described above, the conductor 4 can be inserted into the marker carrier both from the right side (see FIG. 4) and from the left side (see FIG. 5). In this case, in any case, a simple assembly and a good tightening and therefore a good fixing of the marking carrier to the electrical conductor are ensured. In Figure 4, the conductor is inserted from the right side, but this is exactly the same as inserting the label carrier into the conductor from the left side, and in any case, in the insertion direction of the conductor 4, the front edge is first It collides with the tightening lug 3 at the center of the tightening tumbler 3. Insofar, the central clamping lug 6 serves as an operating lever for the clamping tumbler 3. This is because the entire tightening tumbler 3 rotates overcoming the elastic resistance of the rotating body 8.

When the conductor 4 is further inserted, the rotation of the clamping tumbler 3 causes the right clamping lug 7 to rotate to the insulating coating of the conductor, and the clamping lugs 5 and 7 are rotated depending on the diameter of the conductor. The free end of is deformed, so that the marking carrier as a whole is supported on the underside of the conductor by a double clamping action. When inserting the electrical conductor, the two upper guide and clamping strips 9 are also expanded elastically. The guide/tightening strip properly guides the conductor when it is inserted and presses it onto the tightening tumbler 3. Since the entrance area of the support for the through-hole for the electrical conductor is essentially open, no assembly problems occur. The electrical conductor can first enter freely and then be crimped onto the clamping tumbler 3 by means of the expanding guide and clamping strip 9.

When the conductor is further inserted, the conductor is tightened by the tightening tumbler 3.
automatically swivels and automatically deforms the free end of the clamping lug, which results in a tilt-free and stable clamping due to the double support.

The clamping action takes place by both clamping lugs 6.7. Additional tightening is also effected by the elastic resistance of the rotating body 8. This elastic resistance of the rotating body can be produced by a suitable design. Furthermore, with suitable construction, the clamping by the guide and clamping strip 9 can also have an additional effect. According to the illustrated embodiment, conductors 4 of significantly different diameters can be inserted into the same marker carrier, or the marker carrier can be reliably clamped onto conductors of significantly different diameters.

FIG. 5 shows the case where the conductor 4 is inserted from the left side. This is the same as inserting the label carrier into the conductor from the right side. In this insertion direction as well, the front end of the electrical conductor in the insertion direction impinges on the clamping lug 6 immediately after its penetration into the marking carrier, and in this extent this clamping lug 6 acts as an operating lever. In this case as well, the tightening tumbler 3 is rotated by the rotation of the rotating body. In this case, the left-hand clamping lug 5 swivels into the insulation sheath of the conductor 4, so that after the conductor has been inserted, both clamping lugs 5, 6 serve for a stable fixation without tilting. It will be done.
