Description

Titre : Bouton-poussoir rupteur conjoncteurTitle: Contactor breaker push button
La présente invention est relative à des perfectionnements aux boutons-poussoirs rupteur conjoncteur.The present invention relates to improvements to the contactor breaker pushbuttons.
Un tel bouton-poussoir permet, lors de son enfoncement, de modifier l'état électrique d'une ligne soit de façon permanente soit de façon provisoire, la modification cessant dès que l'on relâche l'action sur l'organe de commande.Such a push-button makes it possible, when pressed, to modify the electrical state of a line either permanently or temporarily, the modification ceasing as soon as the action on the control member is released.
Généralement, les fonctions décrites ci-dessus sont obtenues par l'association de deux organes à savoir un : connecteur, stable ou instable, et un poussoir constituant l'organe de commande de l'ensemble.Generally, the functions described above are obtained by the association of two bodies, namely one: connector, stable or unstable, and a pusher constituting the control member of the assembly.
Un tel ensemble occupe un volume important et ne se prête pas à la mise en place d'un dispositif lumineux permettant de repérer, par exemple, l'emplacement du poussoir, en d'autres termes, il est très difficile de réaliser un poussoir lumineux. De plus, la conception des dispositifs existants a montré qu'en cas de défaillance du système lumineux il fallait remplacer l'ensemble.Such an assembly occupies a large volume and does not lend itself to the installation of a light device making it possible to identify, for example, the location of the pusher, in other words, it is very difficult to produce a light pusher . In addition, the design of existing devices has shown that in the event of failure of the lighting system, the assembly must be replaced.
Le bouton-poussoir de l'invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, est remarquable en ce qu'il présente un corps cylindrique, dont une extrémité est obturée par une embase isolante, comportant deux paires de contacts électriques, de guidage d'un organe de connexion maintenu dans une position stable sous l'action d'un ressort et pouvant être déplacé par l'enfoncement d'un poussoir obturant l'autre extrémité dudit corps. Le déplacement de l'organe de connexion a pour effet d'ouvrir un premier circuit et d'en fermer un second. La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lesquels : -la figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'un bouton-poussoir conforme à l'invention ;The push button of the invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, is remarkable in that it has a cylindrical body, one end of which is closed by an insulating base, comprising two pairs of electrical contacts, for guiding an organ connection maintained in a stable position under the action of a spring and capable of being moved by the depressing of a plunger closing the other end of said body. The displacement of the connection member has the effect of opening a first circuit and closing a second. The present invention will be better understood from the following description made with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which: FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a push button in accordance with invention;
-la figure 2 est une vue en coupe effectuée selon la ligne ll-ll de la figure 1 , -la figure 3 est une vue en coupe effectuée selon la ligne lll-lll de la figure 1 , le poussoir étant enfoncé ; -la figure 4 est une vue, analogue à la figure 3, limitée à la représentation de l'embase et montrant la possibilité d'utiliser un système d'éclairage indépendant.FIG 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of Figure 1, FIG 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III of Figure 1, the pusher being pressed; FIG. 4 is a view, similar to FIG. 3, limited to the representation of the base and showing the possibility of using an independent lighting system.
En se reportant aux dessins, on voit que le dispositif se compose d'un corps 1 , de préférence cylindrique, obturé à l'une de ses extrémités par une embase 2 et à l'autre par un poussoir 3.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that the device consists of a body 1, preferably cylindrical, closed at one of its ends by a base 2 and at the other by a pusher 3.
L'embase 2, réalisée en un matériau isolant, comporte deux paires de contacts électriques 4 et 5, décalées angulairement et axialement par rapport au corps 1.The base 2, made of an insulating material, comprises two pairs of electrical contacts 4 and 5, angularly and axially offset with respect to the body 1.
L'embase 2 est utilisée pour assurer le guidage d'une plaque connectrice 6 maintenue en position stable sous l'action d'un ressort 7 et pouvant être déplacée lors de l'enfoncement du poussoir 3.The base 2 is used to guide a connecting plate 6 maintained in a stable position under the action of a spring 7 and which can be moved when the pusher 3 is pressed.
Pratiquement, les contacts 4 et 5 sont matérialisés par les têtes de vis, vissées dans l'embase 2 et auxquels contacts les conducteurs électriques (non représentés) sont raccordés. En position de repos, la plaque 6 est appliquée sous les têtes des vis sous l'action du ressort 7, lesdites têtes constituant des organes limitant le déplacement de ladite plaque ou organe de connexion.In practice, the contacts 4 and 5 are embodied by the screw heads, screwed into the base 2 and to which contacts the electrical conductors (not shown) are connected. In the rest position, the plate 6 is applied under the heads of the screws under the action of the spring 7, said heads constituting members limiting the movement of said plate or connection member.
II est à noter que le poussoir 3 est maintenu par un ressort 8, dont la force est inférieure à celle du ressort 7. Ce ressort a une double fonction, il permet d'absorber les variations de dimension pouvant se produire lors de l'usinage des constituants et de maintenir l'extrémité interne du poussoir à une certaine distance de la face supérieure de la plaque 6. De cette façon, l'usager perçoit mieux son action sur le poussoir.It should be noted that the pusher 3 is held by a spring 8, the force of which is less than that of the spring 7. This spring has a double function, it makes it possible to absorb the variations in dimension which may occur during machining. constituents and maintain the internal end of the pusher at a certain distance from the upper face of the plate 6. In this way, the user perceives better his action on the pusher.
L'embase 2 présente deux chandelles 9 de guidage de la plaque 6 dont les axes s'étendent parallèlement à celui du poussoir. De préférence les corps des vis, dont les têtes forment les contacts 4, traversent axialement les chandelles 9.The base 2 has two candles 9 for guiding the plate 6, the axes of which extend parallel to that of the pusher. Preferably, the bodies of the screws, the heads of which form the contacts 4, pass axially through the jack stands 9.
Comme cela ressort de la figure 4, l'embase 2 sert de support à la douille 10, d'une source lumineuse 11 , vissée axialement dans ladite embase (les câbles d'alimentation ne sont pas représentés). La douille 10 traverse librement la plaque 6 pour s'étendre jusque dans la cavité interne 3a du poussoir qui est avantageusement réalisé en une matière transparente ou translucide. Bien entendu, d'autres moyens que le vissage peuvent être utilisés pour assurer le maintien de la douille 10.As can be seen in FIG. 4, the base 2 serves to support the socket 10, of a light source 11, screwed axially in said base (the power cables are not shown). The sleeve 10 freely crosses the plate 6 to extend into the internal cavity 3a of the pusher which is advantageously made of a transparent or translucent material. Of course, means other than screwing can be used to maintain the socket 10.
II est à noter que les moyens utilisés pour fixer la douille (10) sont accessibles de l'extérieur du corps et que le retrait, ou la mise en place, d'une source lumineuse n'influence pas le fonctionnement du bouton-poussoir. It should be noted that the means used to fix the socket (10) are accessible from the outside of the body and that the removal, or placement, of a light source does not influence the operation of the push button.
