Description

La présente invention consiste, conformément aux indications de l'énoncé, en un "CONNECTEUR À INSERTION LATÉRALE", dont les nouvelles caractéristiques de construction, de formage et de conception remplissent la mission pour laquelle il a été spécifiquement projeté, avec un maximum de sécurité et d'efficacité.The present invention consists, in accordance with indications of the statement, in an "INSERTION CONNECTOR LATERAL ", including the new features of construction, forming and design fulfill the mission for which it was specifically planned, with maximum safety and efficiency.

Il existe sur le marché une diversité de types de connecteurs qui peuvent donc être considérés comme un état de la technique et dont la fonction spécifique est de réunir dans un seul corps celui du connecteur, un ensemble de conducteurs pourvus à leurs extrémités des cosses correspondantes, elles-mêmes logées à l'intérieur du connecteur.There are a variety of types on the market connectors which can therefore be considered as a state of technique and whose specific function is to join in one body that of the connector, a whole conductors provided with lugs at their ends corresponding, themselves housed inside the connector.

La disposition de plusieurs cosses mâles et femelles dans les connecteurs respectifs permet la continuité électrique sur des installations électriques complexes telles que celles de l'automobile ou similaires.The arrangement of several male and female pods in the respective connectors allows continuity electrical on complex electrical installations such as automotive or similar.

La difficulté qui se présente lors du montage des connecteurs, c'est-à-dire l'insertion des cosses à l'intérieur de ceux-ci, est en premier lieu que ces cosses demeurent bien situées et en second lieu que celles-ci, une fois introduites dans le connecteur, ne puissent pas sortir de l'endroit où elles sont correctement placées, ce qui entraínerait l'ouverture du circuit électrique correspondant.The difficulty that arises when mounting connectors, i.e. the insertion of lugs to inside of these, is in the first place that these pods remain well located and secondly that these, once inserted into the connector, cannot get out of the place where they are properly placed, this which would cause the opening of the electrical circuit corresponding.

Le brevet américain US-A-5,380,220, qui est consideré comme étant l'état de la technique le plus proche, montre un connecteur à insertion latérale selon le préambule de la revendication ayant une forme sensiblement prismatique dont l'intérieur est divisé en cellules, celles-ci étant aussi sensiblement prismatiques et divisées par de petites cloisons. Ledit connecteur est pourvu de différents moyens de retenue et de serrage pour éviter les déplacements du câble par rapport au connecteur. Les moyens de retenue empêchant le déplacement vertical des cosses sont situés dans la partie centrale du connecteur et sont unis à celui-ci uniquement à travers sa base. Les moyens de retenue évitant que la cosse se déplace vers la partie postérieure consistent en une protubérance située à la base du connecteur, qui en combinaison avec les moyens de retenue de déplacement vertical empêchent la déconnexion de la cosse. Finalement, le connecteur comprend des moyens de serrage du câble constitués par deux ailettes qui pressent le câble entre elles, et à leur tour contre la base du connecteur.American patent US-A-5,380,220, which is considered to be the closest state of the art, show a side insert connector according to the preamble of claim having a form substantially prismatic whose interior is divided into cells, these being also substantially prismatic and divided by small partitions. Said connector is provided with various retaining and clamping means for avoid movement of the cable in relation to the connector. The retaining means preventing the vertical movement of the lugs are located in the central part of the connector and are united to it only through its base. The retaining means preventing the terminal from moving towards the posterior part consists of a protuberance located at the base of the connector, which in combination with the means vertical displacement restraint prevent disconnection of the pod. Finally, the connector comprises means cable clamping constituted by two fins which press the cable between them, and in turn against the connector base.

Le connecteur décrit ci-dessus ne garantit pas une connexion efficace de la cosse mise, à différence du connecteur objet de la présente invention. Du point de vue du procédé d'injection et de leur manipulation postérieure, les moyens de retenue verticaux du brevet américain sont très fragiles, étant donné qu'ils sont uniquement ancrés au connecteur d'un côté, le côté inférieur. De même, en cas de cassure desdits moyens de retenue à conséquence de leur fragilité, la connexion de la cosse ne serait pas garantie car les moyens de retenue empêchant que la cosse se déplace en arrière n'ont uniquement que cette fonction en combinaison avec les moyens de retenue verticaux, ce qui fait qu'en cas de non-existence d'un empêchement pour se déplacer vers le haut, la cosse se lèvera et elle empêchera la connexion correcte de celui-ci.The connector described above does not guarantee efficient connection of the terminal, unlike the connector object of the present invention. From the standpoint the injection process and their subsequent handling, the vertical restraints of the American patent are very fragile, since they are only anchored to the connector on one side, the bottom side. Similarly, in the event of breakage of said retaining means as a result of their fragility, the connection of the terminal would not be guaranteed because the retaining means preventing the terminal from moving behind only have this function in combination with the vertical retaining means, which fact that in the absence of an impediment to move up, the pod will rise and it will prevent the correct connection of it.

Le serrage de la cosse par rapport au connecteur réalisé par les ailettes situées à une des extrémités du connecteur pressant le câble contre la base du connecteur et entre les deux ailettes, favorise le fait que les ailettes "pincent" le câble en pouvant endommager l'isolant et par conséquent la sécurité de la connexion. Dans des câbles à grandes sections il y a des difficultés pour effectuer le montage de celui-ci, réalisé sous forme de U, en passant sous les ailettes, la possibilité de "pincement" du câble augmente.The tightening of the terminal relative to the connector produced by the fins located at one end of the connector pressing cable against connector base and between the two fins, promotes the fact that the fins "pinch" the cable, possibly damaging the insulation and therefore the security of the connection. In cables with large sections there are difficulties for carry out the assembly thereof, made in the form of a U, passing under the fins, the possibility of "pinching" of the cable increases.

La fonction des connecteurs sur des installations électriques complexes comporte, en premier lieu, la productivité de l'opération énoncée précédemment, c'est-à-dire la pose des cosses à l'intérieur du connecteur et la seconde d'entre elles, celle de la vérification de cette opération, a été correctement exécutée pour finalement, grâce à la configuration de l'intérieur du connecteur, avoir la sécurité absolue qu'au moment de la connexion entre un connecteur mâle et femelle il ne se produira aucun retrait de cosse ou que, après la connexion et comme conséquence de la vibration du véhicule où elle est installée, une cosse du connecteur puisse se déplacer ou sortir, ce qui produirait l'effet cité précédemment et l'ouverture de circuits de l'installation électrique.The function of connectors on installations complex electrics involves, first, the productivity of the operation set out above, i.e. fitting the terminals inside the connector and second of them, that of the verification of this operation, was correctly executed for finally, thanks to the configuration of the interior of the connector, have absolute security that at the time of connection between a male and female connector there will be no removal of terminal or that after connection and as consequence of the vibration of the vehicle where it is installed, a connector lug can move or go out, which would produce the effect mentioned above and opening of electrical installation circuits.

Le connecteur objet de la présente demande est du type à insertion latérale, c'est-à-dire que les cosses et le conducteur sont introduits latéralement à l'intérieur du connecteur. Il existe d'autres modalités d'insertion, celles qui exécutent cette opération par la partie supérieure ou inférieure du connecteur étant les plus courantes.The connector which is the subject of this application is from type with lateral insertion, i.e. the terminals and the conductor are introduced laterally inside the connector. There are other insertion methods, those who perform this operation by the party top or bottom of the connector being the most common.

Dans la présente invention, l'on a d'abord cherché une insertion latérale rapide et, en second lieu, la sécurité qu'une fois la cosse insérée latéralement il n'est pas possible que celui-ci puisse bouger, tant dans le sens latéral dans lequel il a été introduit que verticalement vers le haut ou vers le bas.In the present invention, we first sought a quick lateral insertion and, secondly, security that once the pod is inserted laterally it is not possible that it can move, both in the direction side in which it was introduced only vertically upwards or downwards.

Les perfectionnements introduits dans le connecteur consistent essentiellement selon les caractéristiques de la revendication 1, en une conception spéciale des cellules qui sont disposées à l'intérieur de celui-ci, de la configuration sensiblement prismatique et ne possédant pas de bases supérieures, inférieure et latérales où sur l'une des faces de la cellule il existe une protubérance travaillant en combinaison avec la configuration spécifique de la cosse, cependant que dans la partie supérieure de ces cellules elles forment un tout avec les parois de celles-ci; des languettes formant avec celles-ci un angle inférieur à 90° ont été conçues, ce qui permet, lorsque la cosse est introduite et que celle-ci est fixée dans la fente correspondante, la partie du câble émergeant des cosses est introduite dans ces languettes et une fois cette opération exécutée, il est impossible de la déloger de la cellule, aussi bien latéralement que verticalement dans les deux sens.Improvements introduced in the connector basically consist according to the features of claim 1, in a special design of cells that are arranged inside of it, of the substantially prismatic configuration and not possessing no upper, lower and lateral bases where on one side of the cell there is a protuberance working in combination with the specific configuration of the pod, however that at the top of these cells they form a whole with their walls; tongues forming an angle therewith less than 90 ° have been designed, which allows, when the terminal is introduced and that it is fixed in the corresponding slot, the part of the cable emerging from the pods is introduced into these tabs and once this operation executed, it is impossible to dislodge it from the cell, both laterally and vertically in the both directions.

D'autres détails et caractéristiques de la demande actuelle seront mis en évidence au cours de la description donnée ci-dessous, où il est fait référence aux dessins joints à ce mémoire et où, de façon quelque peu schématique, sont représentés les détails préférés. Ces détails sont donnés à titre d'exemple, faisant référence à un cas possible de réalisation pratique, mais ne demeurent pas limités aux détails qui y sont exposés ; cette description doit donc être considérée d'un point de vue indicatif et sans aucune sorte de limitations.Other details and characteristics of the request current will be highlighted during description given below, where reference is made to the drawings attached to this brief and where, somewhat schematic, the preferred details are shown. These details are given as an example, referring to a possible case of practical realization, but do not remain not limited to the details exposed therein; this description should therefore be considered from a point of view indicative and without any kind of limitations.

Nous établirons ensuite la liste des divers éléments numérotés sur les dessins ci-joints au présent mémoire: 10 connecteur, 11 grande base latérale, 12 petites bases latérales, 13 renfort latéral, 14 cloison, 15 protubérance, 16 languette, 17 tétons, 18 ailettes, 19 recoupements longitudinal, 20 cellules.We will then list the various elements numbered on the drawings attached to this memorandum: 10 connector, 11 large side base, 12 small bases lateral, 13 lateral reinforcement, 14 partition, 15 protuberance, 16 tab, 17 nipples, 18 fins, 19 overlaps longitudinal, 20 cells.

La figure n° 1 est une perspective du connecteur 10 sur laquelle on peut voir les diverses parties de celui-ci.Figure 1 is a perspective of the connector 10 on which we can see the various parts of it.

La figure n° 2 est une vue frontale détaillée du connecteur 10, dépourvu de grande la base latérale 11. Figure 2 is a detailed front view of the connector 10, without large lateral base 11.

La figure n° 3 est une vue frontale détaillée de la face du connecteur 10, dont nous pouvons voir que sur cette face il possède une grande base latérale 11.Figure 3 is a detailed front view of the face of connector 10, which we can see that on this face it has a large lateral base 11.

Dans l'une des réalisations préférées de ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, comme indiqué sur la figure n° 1, le connecteur 10 offre une configuration sensiblement prismatique formée de deux petites bases latérales 12 présentes sur la partie inférieure des bases 12 et une grande base latérale 11 qui va également depuis une base 12 à celle qui lui est opposée sur la partie supérieure des bases 12.In one of the favorite achievements of what makes the subject of the present invention, as indicated on the figure n ° 1, connector 10 offers a configuration substantially prismatic formed of two small bases side 12 present on the lower part of the bases 12 and a large lateral base 11 which also goes from a base 12 to the one opposite it on the part top of bases 12.

Le connecteur 10 est divisé à l'intérieur en une série de cellules 20 à configuration sensiblement prismatique et qui ne disposent que de deux cloisons 14, le reste de la cellule 20 demeurant entièrement vide.The connector 10 is divided inside into a series of cells 20 with substantially configuration prismatic and which have only two partitions 14, the rest of cell 20 remaining entirely empty.

Des protubérances 15 sont disposées à l'intérieur de la cellule 20, à une certaine distance, et dans la partie supérieure de celles-ci; émergeant des cloisons 14, se trouvent des ailettes 18 formant un angle de moins de 90° par rapport à ces cloisons 14, comme indiqué sur la figure n° 1.Protrusions 15 are arranged inside the cell 20, at a certain distance, and in the part superior of these; emerging from the partitions 14, find fins 18 forming an angle of less than 90 ° relative to these partitions 14, as shown in the figure # 1.

La pertinence des perfectionnements préconisés repose essentiellement sur le fait que ce type de connecteur est inséré sur la cosse connectée à l'extrémité du connecteur, non représenté sur les figures, à l'intérieur des cellules en premier lieu retenue par la protubérance 15, cependant que la partie du conducteur qui émerge de cette cosse passe entre les ailettes 18 et, à partir de cet instant, ne peut plus sortir des cellules 20, les ailettes 18 ne le permettant pas.The relevance of the recommended improvements rests basically the fact that this type of connector is inserted on the terminal connected to the end of the connector, not shown in the figures, inside the cells first retained by protuberance 15, however that the part of the conductor which emerges from this terminal passes between the fins 18 and, from this moment, cannot no longer come out of the cells 20, the fins 18 do not not allowing.

De manière conventionnelle les petites bases 12 ont été dotées de languettes 16 dans la partie supérieure desquelles émergent des tétons 17 dont le but est d'insérer le connecteur 10 dans des boítes porte-connecteurs.Conventionally, the small bases 12 have been with 16 tabs at the top from which nipples 17 emerge whose purpose is to insert the connector 10 in connector holder boxes.
