SWITCHING TYPE DISTRIBUTOR Invention by Claude CADIOU

Société Anonyme known as

CIT-ALCATEL INDUSTRIAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY

The present invention relates to a switching type distributor.

In the telecommunications sector, the cables generally coming from the outside and guided by a so-called infrastructure distributor, reach a so-called switching distributor, where the 5 wires of said cables are connected to the pins of so-called sliders, before d 'be routed5 to subscriber counters in particular.

It is therefore necessary to guide these wires, moreover, in very large numbers to said strips, and this so that it is possible to intervene very quickly in the event that they change. This must be done in the event of a fault on the network.

. I '2.

The known distributors are in the form of an assembly of flat irons or angles with numerous holes, the mounting of which proves to be difficult, and long, and of considerable bulk.

In addition, such devices have reduced possibilities of extension, in particular in the case where the increase in the number of subscribers imposes such a constraint.

The present invention makes it possible to remedy the drawbacks described above and its subject is a simple structure distributor 1 which can be quickly and easily installed in any room, at a low cost price.

The object of the invention is therefore a distributor of the type comprising a plurality of vertical uprights, horizontal crosspieces perpendicular to the plane defined by said vertical uprights and secured to said uprights by means of connecting pieces, horizon-15 beams fixed at the end of said crosspieces suitable for receiving elements for fixing members for connecting wires, known as strips, guide pieces for said wires, said garter loops being secured in rows to said uprights, said uprights, said crosspieces, said spars being profiled irons with section in C, characterized by v 20 the fact that each of said garters comprises a frame comprising openings receiving said wires, one end of said frame comprising a ratchet and a release provided with two fingers, while the other end has a tongue and two bores of diameter substantially equal to that of said fingers.

25 Other characteristics and advantages of the invention appear from the description which follows, given by way of purely illustrative example but in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawings in which,

FIG. 1 represents a side view of a distributor according to the invention, 3.

Figure 12 shows a method of attachment to the ceiling of a distributor according to the invention.

FIG. 13 "represents a method of attachment to the wall of a distributor according to the invention.

25 Referring firstly to FIGS. 1 and 2, a distributor according to the present invention as a whole comprises a plurality of vertical uprights 1, to which transverse beams such as 2 are linked and distributed at various levels of said uprights, / i 4.

. I 1 and this by means of connecting pieces 3. At the end of said crosspieces 2 are fixed de3 horizontal beams 4 capable of receiving fastening elements 5 of connecting members called strips 6.

Furthermore, so-called “garter belt” parts 7 can be 5 secured to the uprights 1. FIGS. 1 and 2 also show that the uprights 1 are fixed on the one hand to an upper spar 8 by means of brackets 9 and on the other hand to a lower spar 10 by means of similar brackets 9.

The upper beam 8 can be fixed by means of brackets 10 to the ceiling or to the wall of the room where the distributor is located, the lower beam 10 being fixed to the floor of said room also by means of brackets 9. In addition, a bar guard 11 fixed to the end of crosspieces such as 12 linked to the lower part of the upright 1 makes it possible to prevent the staff or the devices operating in the room from coming into contact with the strips 6 in particular. Its resistance is reinforced by stirrups such as 13 fixed to the floor of the room as well as to parts 11 and 12.

Finally, the free ends of the side members 4 can be masked by a protective bar 14, capable of avoiding any injury * 20 for personnel in contact with them.

The uprights 1, the cross members 2, the side members 4, the guard bar 11, the cross members 12 in particular are section-shaped irons with a C section.

We will now specify the method of attachment, and the structure 25 of the elements previously described.

FIG. 3 shows that the connecting piece 3 comprises a portion 15 with flanges 16 provided with a bore 17, integral with a two-angle angle iron 18 and 19 which is substantially perpendicular to it, which i 5.

has two bores 20.

FIG. H illustrates the implementation of the connecting piece 3. It can be seen that the part 15 of this piece encloses the upright 1 to which it is fixed by a screw 21 engaged in the bore 17 cooperating 5 with a nut 22, while the angle iron receives the cross-member 2 to which it is fixed by screw-nuts similar to the previous one (not shown) engaging in the bores 20.

FIG. 5 represents a fixing bracket 9 whose. two parts or arms each have a bore 25.

FIG. 6 represents in more detail a screw 21 (FIG. 4) and in particular the head 26 of said screw which has a rectangular section whose two opposite angles have been truncated as indicated at 28.

In the position indicated on the left of the figure, the head 26 is engaged in the iron at C. One then turns a quarter of a turn to position the head 26, then the nut 22 is blocked.

Figure 7 illustrates the garter 7. It is generally orient in the form of a rectangular frame, and is made of a plastic material. It has openings 30 able to receive 20 u110 plurality of cable strands or wires coming from cable heads (not shown), and to direct them towards the pins of the strips 6.

One end has a pawl 31 "on its front face and a clearance 32 provided with two fingers 33 while the other end has two bores 34 with diameters equal to those of the fingers 33 25 as well as a tongue 35, also on its front side.

The rear face has a slight draft 36.

Figure 8 specifies the method of fixing such elements.

We see in this figure a garter belt 7 fixed to an upright 1 by means of its pawl 31 "and coming to bear

V

6.

against a neighboring upright 1 by means of its tongue 35 and of the end comprising the bores 34. Advantageously a safety clips 60 comes to grip the pawl 31 and the rim of the upright 1.

FIG. 8 also shows the neighboring garter 7A coming to bear on the angle iron 1 by means of its tongue 35A

and from its end comprising the bores 34A. In addition, the fingers 33 of the garter belt 7 3 are engaged in the 3 bores 34A of the garter belt 7A, the corresponding end being housed in the 'clearance 36A of the garter belt 7A and so on for the other 10 garter cords . If it is assumed that the garter 7 is one of the last in the row, it is fixed to the last upright 1 of the distributor by a bracket 37 itself secured to said upright 1 by a screw 21 as described in Figure 6 , this bracket coming to bear against the end of the garter 7- This bracket further comprises two stampings 38 which are housed in the bores 34 of said garter 7.

FIG. 9 specifies an element 5 for fixing the strips 6 to a beam 4.

It comprises a rectangular base 40 comprising ►20 bores such as 41.42 provided for fixing the strips, by any suitable means (not shown). This base is linked to a rectangular part 43 of which two opposite angles have been truncated as referenced at 44. This part therefore engages in the longitudinal members 4, and is blocked therein by rotation of a quarter turn, a similar manner 25 to that of the head 26 of the screw 21 (Figure 6).

FIG. 10 represents the method of fixing the longitudinal members 4 on the ends of the crosspieces 2. Such a fixing is effected by means of a bracket 9 (FIG. 5) screwed on the one hand to the crosspiece 2, by means of 'a screw 21 cooperating with a nut 22 (Figure 6) 7.

and on the other hand to the spar 4 by means of a screw 47 of the current type.

Figure 11 illustrates the attachment to the ground of the distributor.

It can be seen that each upright 1 is fixed to the lower spar 10 by brackets, such as 9 and screws 21, said spar being linked 5 to the ground by means of brackets such as 9, each being screwed to the spar 10 by a screw 21 and secured to the ground for example by means of a dowel 48.

Figure 12 illustrates the attachment to the distributor ceiling.

It can be seen that each upright 1 is fixed to the upper spar 8 by 10 a square 9 and screws 21. The spar 8 is itself fixed to the ceiling by means of C-section irons such that 50 each is screwed with on the one hand to said upper beam 8 by means of a bracket 9 cooperating with two screws 21 and on the other hand to the ceiling by means of a bracket 9 cooperating with a screw 21 and a dowel 48.

FIG. 13 shows that in a similar manner the distributor can be fixed to at least one wall of the room. C crame in the previous case, C section irons are used, such as 50 screwed each on the one hand, audited upper spar 8 by means of a bracket 9 cooperating with two screws 21, and on the other hand to the wall. by means of a square 9 ”20 cooperating with a screw 21 and a dowel 48.

It can therefore be seen that the distributor according to the invention implements standard parts, of simple structure, inexpensive in limited number, the assembly of which requires only a minimum number of holes.

Furthermore, such a device can be adapted to any room.

In addition, it is very easy to expand when, for example, the increase in the number of subscribers imposes such a constraint.

8.

It finds advantageous applications in the field of telecommunications.

Although the device which has just been described seems the most advantageous for the implementation of the invention in a particular technical situation, it will be understood that various modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the invention, some of its elements can be replaced by others likely to perform the same technical function.
