La présente invention vise plus particulièrement l'ensemble des opérations nécessaires à l'exécution d'un tel sertissage.The present invention relates more particularly to all of the operations necessary for the execution of such crimping.

Il faut, tout d'abord, rapporter, sur l'extrémité d'âme conductrice à équiper, l'accessoire de câblage à sertir sur celle-ci.First of all, the wiring accessory to be crimped onto it must be attached to the conductive core end to be fitted.

Il faut, ensuite, assurer le sertissage correspondant.It is then necessary to ensure the corresponding crimping.

Bien qu'il ait été proposé, de longue date, de les réaliser en chapelet, les accessoires de câblage usuellement disponibles à ce jour sur le marché se présentent le plus communément en vrac.Although it has long been proposed to make them in strings, the wiring accessories usually available today on the market are most commonly in bulk.

Il faut donc les préléver un à un, à la demande, dans un conteneur, et cette opération, exécutée à la main, est d'autant plus malaisée à conduire que, le plus souvent, elle porte sur des accessoires de câblage ayant par eux-mêmes des dimensions assez réduites.It is therefore necessary to take them one by one, on demand, in a container, and this operation, executed by hand, is all the more difficult to drive since, more often than not, it relates to wiring accessories having by them - even fairly small dimensions.

En toute hypothèse, cette opération est inévitablement génératrice d'une perte de temps, et elle peut également être à l'origine d'une perte non négligeable en accessoires de câblage, si, lors de leur préhension, ceux-ci viennent à échapper.In any event, this operation is inevitably generating a loss of time, and it can also be the cause of a non-negligible loss of wiring accessories, if, when they are grasped, they come to escape.

Pour le sertissage ensuite à effectuer, il est usuellement mis en oeuvre, à ce jour, une pince.For crimping then to be performed, it is usually implemented, to date, a clamp.

Deux types de pinces de sertissage sont couramment disponibles.Two types of crimping pliers are commonly available.

Selon le premier de ces types, relativement léger et bon marché, le sertissage obtenu n'implique qu'une déformation locale des accessoires de câblage travaillés.According to the first of these types, relatively light and inexpensive, the crimping obtained involves only a local deformation of the cabling accessories worked.

Selon le deuxième, nettement plus lourd et coûteux, il est au contraire procédé, de manière redondante, à un compactage d'ensemble d'un tel accessoire de câblage.According to the second, which is considerably heavier and more expensive, on the contrary, an overall compaction of such a wiring accessory is carried out redundantly.

Ces pinces de sertissage ont en commun l'inconvénient de nécessiter, pour leur mise en oeuvre, une rupture de la continuité des opérations à effectuer, l'opérateur qui vient de poser sur l'extrémité d'âme conductrice à équiper l'accessoire de câblage à y sertir devant le plus souvent abandonner temporairement cet accessoire de câblage pour la saisie de la pince nécessaire à son sertissage.These crimping pliers have in common the disadvantage of requiring, for their implementation, a break in the continuity of the operations to be carried out, the operator who has just placed on the end of the conductive core to equip the accessory with wiring to be crimped in front of it most of the time temporarily abandon this wiring accessory for entering the pliers necessary for its crimping.

Il peut en résulter, si les opérations correspondantes ne sont pas correctement exécutées, ou si le conducteur électrique à équiper, déjà en place, est d'accès malaisé, une chute inopinée et intempestive de l'accessoire de câblage avant son sertissage, au prix d'une perte supplémentaire de temps et de matériel.It can result, if the corresponding operations are not correctly executed, or if the electrical conductor to be fitted, already in place, is difficult to access, an unexpected and untimely fall of the wiring accessory before crimping, at the cost additional loss of time and equipment.

Les pinces de sertissage actuellement connues ont en outre le plus souvent en commun l'inconvénient supplémentaire de présenter, pour couvrir une gamme donnée de calibres différents pour les accessoires de câblage, sans d'ailleurs couvrir la totalité de la gamme de calibres possibles, une pluralité d'empreintes de sertissage différentes, qui sont disposées les unes à côté des autres, et parmi lesquelles l'opérateur doit choisir celles convenant à l'accessoire de câblage qu'il a à sertir.The crimping pliers currently known moreover most often have in common the additional disadvantage of having, to cover a given range of different sizes for the wiring accessories, without moreover covering the whole range of possible sizes. plurality of different crimping imprints, which are arranged next to each other, and from which the operator must choose those suitable for the wiring accessory that he has to crimp.

Les hésitations inhérentes à un tel choix ne peuvent qu'être la source d'une perte de temps supplémentaire.The hesitations inherent in such a choice cannot than be the source of a waste of extra time.

Le brevet US-A-Re.24.604 propose par ailleurs un distributeur formant pince de sertissage, l'une de ses poignées, formant magasin, étant adaptée à recevoir, disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres, une pluralité d'accessoires de câblage.Patent US-A-Re.24.604 also provides a distributor forming crimping pliers, one of its handles, forming a magazine, being adapted to receive, arranged parallel to each other, a plurality of wiring accessories.

Mais, outre sa complexité, ce distributeur présente l'inconvénient de ne pouvoir recevoir qu'un calibre d'accessoires de câblage, en l'espèce des cosses.But, in addition to its complexity, this distributor has the drawback of being able to receive only one caliber of wiring accessories, in this case lugs.

La présente invention a pour objet un distributeur pour accessoire de câblage à sertir exempt de cet inconvénient.The present invention relates to a distributor for crimping wiring accessory free of this drawback.

Le distributeur suivant l'invention, qui est du genre comportant, articulées l'une à l'autre, deux poignées, dont une, formant magasin, est adaptée à recevoir une pluralité d'accessoires de câblage à distribuer, disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres, et qui, lorsqu'elles sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre, sont aptes à imprimer à un accessoire de câblage présent entre elles au moins une déformation de sertissage, est d'une manière générale caractérisé en ce que, à la poignée formant magasin, il est associé, de manière distincte, un chargeur, par l'intermédiaire duquel elle est adaptée à recevoir des accessoires de câblage.The distributor according to the invention, which is of the type comprising, articulated to one another, two handles, one of which, forming a magazine, is adapted to receive a plurality of wiring accessories to be distributed, arranged parallel to each other. others, and which, when they are brought together, are capable of printing at least one crimping deformation to a wiring accessory between them, is generally characterized in that, at the handle forming a magazine, it is associated, separately, with a charger, by means of which it is adapted to receive wiring accessories.

Tout d'abord, par sa fonction de distribution, le distributeur suivant l'invention facilite la pose des accessoires de câblage à sertir, au bénéfice d'un gain de temps pour l'opération correspondante.First of all, by its distribution function, the distributor according to the invention facilitates the installation of the crimping wiring accessories, to the benefit of saving time for the corresponding operation.

La manipulation nécessaire ne porte en effet plus sur l'accessoire de câblage lui-même, mais sur le distributeur, de manipulation plus facile, notamment parce qu'il est de dimensions plus grandes, qui le renferme.The necessary handling does not relate to the wiring accessory itself, but to the distributor, which is easier to handle, in particular because it is of larger dimensions, which contains it.

Par le chargeur qui est en pratique associé pour ce faire à sa poignée formant magasin, le distributeur suivant l'invention assure par ailleurs avantageusement un stockage d'accessoires de câblage en attente, en évitant ainsi toute perte intempestive de ceux-ci.By the charger which is in practice associated to do this with its handle forming a store, the distributor according to the invention also advantageously ensures storage of pending wiring accessories, thus avoiding any untimely loss of these.

Par sa fonction de sertissage, il permet, en outre, d'éviter avantageusement toute opération de reprise spécifique pour l'exécution du sertissage à assurer, les opérations de pose et de sertissage pouvant ainsi avantageusement se faire en continuité, au bénéfice, encore, d'un gain de temps pour l'ensemble.By its crimping function, it also makes it possible to advantageously avoid any specific recovery operation for the execution of the crimping to be carried out, the laying and crimping operations which can thus advantageously be carried out continuously, to the benefit, again, saving time for the whole.

Mais, suivant l'invention, il est de plus avantageusement possible de préparer à l'avance plusieurs chargeurs, et de disposer ainsi, sur place, d'un stockage en accessoires de câblage en attente supérieur à celui que serait susceptible de permettre la seule poignée formant magasin du distributeur lui-même.But, according to the invention, it is more advantageously possible to prepare several chargers in advance, and thus to have, on site, a storage in pending wiring accessories greater than that which could be afforded by the single handle forming the dispenser store itself.

En outre, un tel chargeur constitue avantageusement un adaptateur permettant la distribution, à l'aide d'un même distributeur, d'accessoires de câblage de calibres différents, seules étant modififées en conséquence les dimensions internes de ce chargeur.In addition, such a charger advantageously constitutes an adapter allowing the distribution, using the same distributor, of wiring accessories of different calibers, only being modified accordingly the internal dimensions of this charger.

En pratique, le distributeur suivant l'invention, peut recevoir, grâce à de tels chargeurs, une gamme dimensionnelle d'accessoires de câblage de calibres différents suffisamment large pour satisfaire, sinon à la totalité du marché correspondant, au moins à la majeure partie de celui-ci.In practice, the distributor according to the invention can receive, thanks to such chargers, a dimensional range of wiring accessories of different calibers sufficiently wide to satisfy, if not all of the corresponding market, at least the bulk of this one.

Par ailleurs, une fois le distributeur suivant l'invention chargé en accessoires de câblage d'un calibre déterminé, choisi pour correspondre aux conducteurs électriques à équiper, l'opération de sertissage s'exécute sans qu'un quelconque choix soit encore à faire entre telle ou telle empreinte de sertissage, ce distributeur n'étant d'ailleurs équipé que d'une seule et unique plaquette de sertissage convenant à l'ensemble des calibres d'accessoires de câblage qu'il est susceptible de recevoir.Furthermore, once the distributor according to the invention loaded with wiring accessories of a determined size, chosen to correspond to the electrical conductors to be fitted, the crimping operation is carried out without any choice being yet to be made between such and such a crimping imprint, this distributor being moreover equipped with only one and only crimping plate suitable for all the sizes of wiring accessories which it is capable of receiving.

En pratique, pour une intervention seulement locale sur l'accessoire de câblage à sertir, cette plaquette de sertissage comporte au moins une dent, et, par exemple, un nombre limité de telles dents.In practice, for only local intervention on the wiring accessory to be crimped, this crimping plate comprises at least one tooth, and, for example, a limited number of such teeth.

De la déformation seulement locale ainsi obtenue, dont tous les essais montrent qu'elle est largement suffisante pour le sertissage recherché et la bonne tenue ultérieure dans le temps de l'extrémité d'âme conductrice dénudée équipée d'un accessoire de câblage ainsi serti, il résulte que cet accessoire de câblage conserve avantageusement, en section, un contour globalement circulaire convenant particulièrement bien à son introduction dans les perçages, eux-mêmes de contour transversal circulaire, des bornes de connexion à desservir les plus usuelles.Only local deformation thus obtained, which all tests show is largely sufficient for the desired crimping and the good subsequent strength over time of the stripped conductive core end equipped with a wiring accessory thus crimped, it follows that this wiring accessory advantageously retains, in section, a generally circular contour which is particularly suitable for its introduction into the bores, themselves of circular transverse contour, of the most common connection terminals to be served.

Enfin, le distributeur suivant l'invention ne nécessite pour sa mise en oeuvre, qu'un effort faible, il permet, systématiquement, d'un accessoire de câblage à un autre, une constance du sertissage qu'il assure, indépendamment de l'opérateur, par venue en simple butée l'une contre l'autre des deux poignées qui le constituent, à leur extrémité opposée à celle où se fait ce sertissage, le matériau constitutif de ces poignées et leurs dimensions permettant en effet d'obtenir, systématiquement, tel que contrôlé par cette butée, la force nécessaire au sertissage, au prix, éventuellement, d'une flexion propre à permettre d'absorber effectivement différents calibres pour les accessoires de câblage susceptibles d'être mis en oeuvre, il est particulièrement léger à manipuler, et il se prête avantageusement à la mise en oeuvre d'une forme ergonomique qui en facilite encore et en rend plus agréable cette manipulation.Finally, the distributor according to the invention requires, for its implementation, only a small effort, it allows, systematically, from one wiring accessory to another, a constant crimping which it ensures, independently of the operator, by coming into simple abutment one against the other of the two handles which constitute it, at their end opposite to that where this crimping takes place, the constituent material of these handles and their dimensions making it possible, systematically, to obtain , as controlled by this stop, the force necessary for crimping, at the cost, possibly, of a specific bending to allow effective absorption of different sizes for the wiring accessories likely to be used, it is particularly light to handle, and it is advantageously suitable for the implementation of an ergonomic shape which further facilitates and makes this manipulation more pleasant.

Tel qu'illustré sur ces figures, et plus particulièrement sur les figures 1 et 14 à 17, il s'agit, globalement, de rapporter, et de sertir, sur l'extrémité 10 de l'âme conductrice 11 d'un conducteur électrique 12 à gaine isolante 13, un accessoire de câblage 14 comportant, pour ce faire, un fût métallique 15.As illustrated in these figures, and more particularly in Figures 1 and 14 to 17, it is, overall, to attach, and crimp, on the end 10 of the conductive core 11 of an electrical conductor 12 with insulating sheath 13, a wiring accessory 14 comprising, for this purpose, a metal barrel 15.

Dans la forme de mise en oeuvre représentée, cet accessoire de câblage 14 est un embout de câblage, et il comporte, donc, outre le fût métallique 15 destiné à être engagé sur l'extrémité d'âme conductrice 10 du conducteur électrique 12 à équiper, une collerette en matière isolante 16, destinée, elle, à s'engager sur la gaine 13 de celui-ci.In the embodiment shown, this wiring accessory 14 is a wiring end piece, and it therefore comprises, in addition to the metal barrel 15 intended to be engaged on the end of the conductive core 10 of the electrical conductor 12 to be fitted , a collar of insulating material 16, intended for it to engage on the sheath 13 thereof.

Suivant l'invention, il est mis en oeuvre, pour la pose et le sertissage d'un tel accessoire de câblage 14, un distributeur 18.According to the invention, a distributor 18 is used to install and crimp such a wiring accessory 14.

Globalement, ce distributeur 18 comporte, articulées l'une à l'autre par deux bouts d'axe 19, deux poignées, à savoir une poignée formant magasin 20, qui est adaptée à recevoir, par l'intermédiaire d'un accessoire formant chargeur 21 décrit plus en détail ultérieurement, une pluralité d'accessoires de câblage 14 à distribuer, disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres, et une poignée formant outil 22, qui, au droit d'une traverse 23 de la poignée formant magasin 20 propre à en contrebuter l'effort, est équipée d'une plaquette de sertissage 25, apte à imprimer à l'accessoire de câblage 14 présent entre ces poignées 20, 22, lorsque celles-ci se rapprochent l'une de l'autre, et suivant des modalités également décrites plus en détail ultérieurement, au moins une déformation de sertissage 26, figures 15 à 17.Overall, this distributor 18 comprises, articulated to one another by two ends of axis 19, two handles, namely a handle forming a magazine 20, which is adapted to receive, by means of an accessory forming a charger. 21 describes in more detail later, a plurality of wiring accessories 14 to be distributed, arranged parallel to each other, and a handle forming tool 22, which, in line with a cross member 23 of the handle forming a magazine 20 capable of counteracting the force, is equipped with a crimping plate 25, capable of printing on the wiring accessory 14 present between these handles 20, 22, when these approach each other, and according to methods also described in more detail later, at least one crimping deformation 26, FIGS. 15 to 17.

En pratique, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, la poignée formant magasin 20 et la poignée formant outil 22 se croisent l'une l'autre au niveau de leur axe d'articulation, matérialisé par les deux bouts d'axe 19, et elles forment, chacune respectivement, au-delà de cet axe d'articulation, des mâchoires 27, 28, celle, 27, formée par la poignée formant magasin 20 comportant sa traverse 23, et celle, 28, formée par la poignée formant outil 22 comportant sa plaquette de sertissage 25.In practice, in the embodiment shown, the magazine handle 20 and the tool handle 22 cross each other at their axis of articulation, materialized by the two ends of axis 19, and they form, each respectively, beyond this axis of articulation, jaws 27, 28, that, 27, formed by the handle forming magazine 20 comprising its cross member 23, and that, 28, formed by the handle forming tool 22 comprising its crimping plate 25.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, la poignée formant magasin 20 s'étend globalement de manière rectiligne.In the embodiment shown, the magazine handle 20 extends generally in a straight line.

La traverse 23 que comporte la mâchoire 27 s'étend à son extrémité, et elle est bordée par un rebord sur trois côtés, à savoir un rebord 30 sur chacun de ses deux côtés longitudinaux et un rebord 31 sur celui de ses côtés transversaux qui en forme le bout, avec, affectant l'un au moins de ces rebords longitudinaux 30, au voisinage du rebord transversal 31 précédent, une échancrure 32.The crosspiece 23 which comprises the jaw 27 extends at its end, and it is bordered by a rim on three sides, namely a rim 30 on each of its two longitudinal sides and a rim 31 on that of its transverse sides which forms the end, with, affecting at least one of these longitudinal edges 30, in the vicinity of the preceding transverse edge 31, a notch 32.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, cette échancrure 32 va en s'évasant vers l'extérieur.In the embodiment shown, this notch 32 widens outward.

Mais, en variante, elle peut tout aussi bien être globalement hémi-cylindrique.But, as a variant, it can just as easily be globally semi-cylindrical.

En outre, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, il est également prévu une échancrure 32′ sur l'autre des rebords longitudinaux 30 au droit de l'échancrure 32 précédente, pour absorber, ainsi qu'on le comprendra ultérieurement, les éventuelles variations de longueur de l'extrémité d'âme conductrice 10 à équiper.In addition, in the embodiment shown, there is also a notch 32 ′ on the other of the longitudinal edges 30 in line with the previous notch 32, to absorb, as will be understood later, any variations in length of the conductive core end 10 to be fitted.

Dans sa partie courante 33, au moins, qui en est la partie située au-delà des bouts d'axe 19 par rapport à sa mâchoire 27, la poignée formant magasin 20 a, en section transversale, un profil en U à concavité tournée vers la poignée formant outil 22, avec un fond 34 et deux rebords longitudinaux 35.In its main part 33, at least, which is the part located beyond the ends of the axis 19 with respect to its jaw 27, the magazine handle 20 has, in cross section, a U-shaped profile with a concavity turned towards the handle forming a tool 22, with a bottom 34 and two longitudinal edges 35.

La traverse 23 de sa mâchoire 27 est décalée en hauteur par rapport au fond 34 de cette partie courante 33, en étant tournée vers celui-ci.The cross member 23 of its jaw 27 is offset in height relative to the bottom 34 of this main part 33, while being turned towards the latter.

De même, les rebords longitudinaux 30 de la traverse 23 sont décalés en hauteur par rapport aux rebords longitudinaux 35 de la partie courante 33, tout en étant, longitudinalement, dans le même alignement, ces rebords longitudinaux 30, 35 formant, deux à deux, conjointement, à leur raccordement, des joues 36.Likewise, the longitudinal edges 30 of the cross-member 23 are offset in height relative to the longitudinal edges 35 of the main part 33, while being, longitudinally, in the same alignment, these longitudinal edges 30, 35 forming, two by two, together, at their connection, cheeks 36.

Avec sa traverse 23 et ses rebords longitudinaux 30 la mâchoire 27 a, elle aussi, en section transversale, comme la partie courante 33, un profil en U, mais sa concavité est inverse de celle de cette partie courante 33, en sorte qu'elle forme, pour le chargeur 21, une sorte de poche propre à en contrebuter l'extrémité lorsque, ainsi qu'il apparaîtra ultérieurement, ce chargeur 21 est engagé entre les rebords longitudinaux 35 de la partie courante 33.With its crosspiece 23 and its longitudinal edges 30, the jaw 27 also has a U-shaped cross section, like the main part 33, but its concavity is opposite to that of this current part 33, so that it forms, for the charger 21, a sort of pocket suitable for butting off the end when, as will appear later, this charger 21 is engaged between the longitudinal edges 35 of the main part 33.

De préférence, et tel que représenté, à son extrémité opposée à la traverse 23 de sa mâchoire 27, la poignée formant magasin 20 comporte, d'ailleurs, des moyens d'emboîtement, tels que logements ou saillies, propres à permettre d'y encliqueter le chargeur 21, ce chargeur 21 étant conjointement doté à cet effet de moyens d'emboîtement, saillies ou logements, complémentaires.Preferably, and as shown, at its end opposite to the crosspiece 23 of its jaw 27, the handle forming the magazine 20 moreover comprises interlocking means, such as housings or projections, suitable for allowing snap on the charger 21, this charger 21 being jointly provided for this purpose with means of interlocking, projections or housings, complementary.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les moyens d'emboîtement dont est ainsi dotée la poignée formant magasin 20 sont des logements.In the embodiment shown, the interlocking means with which the magazine handle 20 is thus provided are housings.

Il s'agit, plus précisément, d'évidements 38 qui, affectent, à leur base, ses rebords longitudinaux 35, en mordant légèrement sur son fond 34, figures 2 à 4.More precisely, these are recesses 38 which affect their longitudinal edges 35 at their base, by biting lightly on its bottom 34, FIGS. 2 to 4.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, la poignée formant magasin 20 présente, à l'extrémité de sa partie courante 33, entre ses rebords longitudinaux 35, un rebord transversal 39 qui en ferme au moins partiellement le profil.In the embodiment shown, the magazine handle 20 has, at the end of its running part 33, between its longitudinal edges 35, a transverse edge 39 which at least partially closes the profile thereof.

Mais ce rebord transversal 39 n'est pas impératif.But this transverse edge 39 is not imperative.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les évidements 38 sont établis au ras de ce rebord transversal 39.In the embodiment shown, the recesses 38 are established flush with this transverse rim 39.

Par ailleurs, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, la poignée formant magasin 20 présente, allongée longitudinalement, dans sa partie courante 33, au voisinage de sa mâchoire 27, une lumière 40, qui, transversalement, s'étend à la fois sur son fond 34 et l'un de ses rebords longitudinaux 35, celui correspondant au rebord longitudinal 30 de la mâchoire 27 présentant une échancrure 32.Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, the magazine handle 20 has, elongated longitudinally, in its main part 33, in the vicinity of its jaw 27, a light 40, which, transversely, extends both on its bottom 34 and one of its longitudinal edges 35, that corresponding to the longitudinal edge 30 of the jaw 27 having a notch 32.

Bordant cette lumière 40, à son extrémité la plus éloignée de la mâchoire 27, la poignée formant magasin 20 présente, extérieurement, en saillie, une garde 42 à laquelle est adossée, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, une nervure 43 courant, elle, sur toute la longueur restante de cette lumière 40.Bordering this lumen 40, at its end furthest from the jaw 27, the magazine handle 20 has, externally, projecting, a guard 42 to which is backed, in the embodiment shown, a rib 43 running it, over the entire remaining length of this light 40.

Au dos, par ailleurs, de sa traverse 23, est rapportée, sur la poignée formant magasin 20, une lame de ressort 44 destinée à porter sur la poignée formant outil 22.On the back, moreover, of its cross member 23, there is added, on the handle forming the magazine 20, a spring leaf 44 intended to bear on the handle forming the tool 22.

Mais il va de soi que cette lame de ressort 44 peut être remplacée par un quelconque autre moyen élastique propre à solliciter en écartement ces poignées 20, 22.But it goes without saying that this spring leaf 44 can be replaced by any other elastic means capable of urging these handles 20, 22 apart.

Enfin, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, et pour des raisons qui apparaîtront ultérieurement, la poignée formant magasin 20 est équipée d'une boucle 45, qui, s'étendant transversalement, est articulée à sa partie courante 33, dans la zone médiane de celle-ci.Finally, in the embodiment shown, and for reasons which will appear later, the magazine handle 20 is equipped with a loop 45, which, extending transversely, is articulated at its main part 33, in the middle zone of this one.

Pour le support de la plaquette de sertissage 25, la poignée formant outil 22 présente, elle-même, une traverse 47, qui, appartenant à sa mâchoire 28, est, elle aussi, décalée en hauteur par rapport à sa partie courante 48, cette traverse 47 étant reliée latéralement par deux joues 49 à celle-ci.For the support of the crimping plate 25, the tool handle 22 itself has a crosspiece 47, which, belonging to its jaw 28, is also offset in height with respect to its main part 48, this crosspiece 47 being connected laterally by two cheeks 49 to the latter.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, cette partie courante 48 a, en section transversale, comme celle de la poignée formant magasin 20, un profil en U, à fond 50 et rebords longitudinaux 51, et sa concavité est tournée vers celle de cette dernière.In the embodiment shown, this running part 48 has, in cross section, like that of the handle forming a magazine 20, a U-shaped profile, with bottom 50 and longitudinal edges 51, and its concavity is turned towards that of the latter.

C'est contre le fond 50 de cette partie courante 48 que porte la lame de ressort 44 portée par la poignée formant magasin 20.It is against the bottom 50 of this main part 48 that the leaf spring 44 carries by the magazine handle 20.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, la poignée formant outil 22 présente, à l'extrémité de ce fond 50 opposée à sa mâchoire 28, un rebord transversal 52 qui, pour servir de butée, ainsi qu'il apparaîtra ci-après, à la poignée formant magasin 20, s'étend en hauteur au-delà des rebords longitudinaux 51 bordant ce fond 50.In the embodiment shown, the tool handle 22 has, at the end of this bottom 50 opposite its jaw 28, a transverse flange 52 which, to serve as a stop, as will appear below, at the handle forming a magazine 20, extends in height beyond the longitudinal edges 51 bordering this bottom 50.

Au dos du fond 50 de sa partie courante 48, la poignée formant outil 22 présente, transversalement, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, des crans 53.On the back of the bottom 50 of its main part 48, the tool handle 22 has, transversely, in the embodiment shown, notches 53.

En pratique, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, et sans que cela soit cependant impératif, la partie courante 48 de la poignée formant outil 22 a même largeur, transversalement, que la partie courante 33 de la poignée formant magasin 20.In practice, in the embodiment shown, and without this being imperative, the running part 48 of the tool handle 22 has the same width, transversely, as the running part 33 of the magazine handle 20.

Conjointement, ses joues 49, qui sont en saillie sur les rebords longitudinaux 51 de sa partie courante 48, sur la surface extérieure de ces rebords longitudinaux 51, encadrent les joues 36 de la poignée formant magasin 20.Together, its cheeks 49, which project from the longitudinal edges 51 of its main part 48, on the external surface of these longitudinal edges 51, frame the cheeks 36 of the handle forming a magazine 20.

La poignée formant magasin 20 traverse donc en quelque sorte la poignée formant outil 22 à la faveur du pont que forme celle-ci par sa traverse 47 et ses joues 49.The handle forming a magazine 20 therefore somehow crosses the handle forming a tool 22 in favor of the bridge formed by the latter through its cross member 47 and its cheeks 49.

Les bouts d'axe 19 sont établis, chacun respectivement, à la faveur de ces joues 36 et 49.The ends of axis 19 are established, each respectively, by means of these cheeks 36 and 49.

De préférence, les poignées 20, 22 ainsi constituées sont réalisées en matière synthétique chargée de fibres de verre, ce qui leur confère à la fois une grande légèreté et une certaine élasticité.Preferably, the handles 20, 22 thus formed are made of synthetic material loaded with fibers of glass, which gives them both great lightness and a certain elasticity.

La plaquette de sertissage 25, qui, elle, est en métal, est insérée, par l'une de ses tranches, dans une rainure 54 de la poignée formant outil 22, en y étant convenablement bloquée, par exemple par une vis de serrage 55, tel que représenté, tout autre mode d'assemblage étant bien entendu envisageable.The crimping plate 25, which is made of metal, is inserted, by one of its edges, in a groove 54 of the handle forming tool 22, being suitably locked therein, for example by a tightening screw 55 , as shown, any other method of assembly being of course conceivable.

En pratique, la rainure 54 affecte la surface inférieure de la traverse 47 de la mâchoire 28 de cette poignée formant outil 22, et, pour la vis de serrage 55, cette traverse 47 présente, dans son épaisseur, un perçage taraudé 56 recoupant cette rainure 54.In practice, the groove 54 affects the lower surface of the cross member 47 of the jaw 28 of this handle forming a tool 22, and, for the clamping screw 55, this cross member 47 has, in its thickness, a tapped hole 56 intersecting this groove 54.

En pratique, également, pour l'obtention d'une déformation de sertissage 26 n'affectant que localement l'accessoire de câblage 14 à sertir, la plaquette de sertissage 25 comporte au moins une dent 57.In practice, also, for obtaining a crimping deformation 26 affecting only locally the wiring accessory 14 to be crimped, the crimping plate 25 comprises at least one tooth 57.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, cette plaquette de sertissage 25 comporte, en fait, côte à côte, sur sa tranche opposée à celle par laquelle elle est insérée dans la rainure 54 de la poignée formant outil 22, deux dents 57, pour l'obtention, sur l'accessoire de câblage 14, à distance l'une de l'autre, de deux déformations locales de sertissage 26.In the embodiment shown, this crimping plate 25 comprises, in fact, side by side, on its edge opposite to that by which it is inserted in the groove 54 of the tool handle 22, two teeth 57, for the obtaining, on the wiring accessory 14, at a distance from each other, two local crimping deformations 26.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, et les accessoires de câblage 14 à sertir étant des embouts de câblage susceptibles d'être mis en oeuvre en chapelet en étant reliés deux à deux par leur collerette en matière isolante 16, la plaquette de sertissage 25 se prolonge, d'un seul tenant, par une lame de coupe 58, qui est légèrement décalée, transversalement, par rapport à elle, par le jeu de deux coudes de sens opposés, et dont le tranchant 59 s'étend globalement à un niveau légèrement inférieur à celui de ses dents 57.In the embodiment shown, and the wiring accessories 14 to be crimped being cable ends capable of being implemented in a chain by being linked in pairs by their collar made of insulating material 16, the crimping plate 25 is extended , in one piece, by a cutting blade 58, which is slightly offset, transversely, with respect to it, by the play of two elbows of opposite directions, and whose cutting edge 59 extends overall to a slightly lower level to that of his teeth 57.

Tel que représenté, ce tranchant 59 peut présenter une pente, pour réduire les efforts de coupe correspondants.As shown, this cutting edge 59 may have a slope, to reduce the corresponding cutting forces.

Quoi qu'il en soit, il peut s'étendre d'un côté ou de l'autre de la plaquette de sertissage 25.Anyway, it can extend on one side or the other of the crimping plate 25.

En pratique, la traverse 47 de la poignée formant outil 22 est tronquée, par un décrochement 60, figures 2, 5 et 6, au droit de la lame de coupe 58.In practice, the cross-member 47 of the handle forming the tool 22 is truncated, by a recess 60, FIGS. 2, 5 and 6, in line with the cutting blade 58.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, le chargeur 21 se présente sous la forme générale d'une plaquette allongée dont le volume extérieur, globalement parallélépipédique, est sensiblement complémentaire du volume intérieur de la poignée formant magasin 20 du distributeur 18, ce volume intérieur étant défini comme étant celui s'étendant entre, d'une part, les rebords longitudinaux 30 et le rebord transversal 31 de la mâchoire 27 de cette poignée formant magasin 20, et, d'autre part, les rebords longitudinaux 35 et le rebord transversal 39 de sa partie courante 33.In the embodiment shown, the charger 21 is in the general form of an elongated plate whose external volume, generally parallelepiped, is substantially complementary to the internal volume of the handle forming the magazine 20 of the distributor 18, this internal volume being defined as being that extending between, on the one hand, the longitudinal edges 30 and the transverse edge 31 of the jaw 27 of this magazine handle 20, and, on the other hand, the longitudinal edges 35 and the transverse edge 39 of its current part 33.

Ce chargeur 21, figures 8 à 12, comporte, en saillie sur une semelle 62, d'une part, une barrette 63, qui ne s'étend, transversalement, que sur une largeur L1 inférieure à celle L2 de la semelle 62, et qui, parallèlement à ladite semelle 62, présente, longitudinalement, courant sur toute sa longueur, une rainure 64, et, d'autre part, en regard de la tranche longitudinale de ladite barrette 63 sur laquelle débouche sa rainure 64, parallèlement à ladite tranche longitudinale, et à distance de celle-ci, une réglette 65.This charger 21, FIGS. 8 to 12, comprises, projecting from a sole 62, on the one hand, a bar 63, which extends transversely only over a width L1 less than that L2 of the sole 62, and which, parallel to said sole 62, has, longitudinally, running over its entire length, a groove 64, and, on the other hand, opposite the longitudinal edge of said bar 63 on which opens its groove 64, parallel to said edge longitudinal, and at a distance therefrom, a strip 65.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, la réglette 65, qui s'étend en bordure d'un des côtés longitudinaux de la semelle 62, a, par rapport à la surface inférieure de celle-ci, une hauteur H2 inférieure à celle H1 de la barrette 63, elle-même établie en bordure du côté longitudinal de la semelle 62 opposé au précédent.In the embodiment shown, the strip 65, which extends at the edge of one of the longitudinal sides of the sole 62, has, with respect to the lower surface thereof, a height H2 less than that H1 of the bar 63, itself established on the edge of the longitudinal side of the sole 62 opposite the previous one.

Si désiré, elle peut comporter, localement, en correspondance avec la lumière 40 de la poignée formant magasin 20, et à l'image du bord correspondant de celle-ci, une échancrure.If desired, it can include, locally, in correspondence with the lumen 40 of the handle forming a magazine 20, and like the corresponding edge thereof, a notch.

Elle peut également comporter, localement, un cran servant de repère pour la position des accessoires de câblage 14 les plus avancés.It may also include, locally, a notch serving as a benchmark for the position of the accessories of 14 most advanced wiring.

Le chargeur 21 ainsi globalement constitué présente, transversalement, à l'une des extrémités de la barrette 63, sur un prolongement 66 de la semelle 62, un berceau 67 propre à la réception d'un accessoire de câblage 14, avec, s'étendant longitudinalement en porte-à-faux à compter de la barrette 63, au-dessus de ce berceau 67, et à distance de celui-ci, un doigt 68 propre à la retenue d'un accessoire de câblage 14 quand un tel accessoire de câblage est présent dans ce berceau 67.The charger 21 thus generally formed has, transversely, at one end of the bar 63, on an extension 66 of the sole 62, a cradle 67 suitable for receiving a wiring accessory 14, with, extending longitudinally cantilevered from the bar 63, above this cradle 67, and at a distance therefrom, a finger 68 suitable for retaining a wiring accessory 14 when such a wiring accessory is present in this cradle 67.

En pratique, ce doigt 68 s'étend à compter de celle, 70, des lèvres de la barrette 63 qui est la plus éloignée de la semelle 62.In practice, this finger 68 extends from that, 70, of the lips of the bar 63 which is the farthest from the sole 62.

En pratique, également, il ne s'étend que légèrement au-delà de l'axe du berceau 67.In practice, too, it only extends slightly beyond the axis of the cradle 67.

Les accessoires de câblage 14 à distribuer étant des embouts, le berceau 67 est étagé, avec, d'une part, une partie de moindre section transversale 67′, qui, aux dimensions du fût 15 d'un tel embout, est établie au droit de la barrette 63, avec, si désiré, un pan coupé non représenté affectant en biais, pour faciliter le passage d'un tel fût 15, l'extrémité de son arête proche de la barrette 63, et, d'autre part, une partie de section transversale plus grande 67˝, qui, aux dimensions de la collerette en matière isolante 16 d'un tel embout, est établie au droit de la portion libre 72 de la semelle 62, c'est-à-dire au droit de la portion de cette semelle 62 qui s'étend entre la barrette 63 et la réglette 65.The wiring accessories 14 to be distributed being end pieces, the cradle 67 is stepped, with, on the one hand, a portion of smaller cross section 67 ′, which, to the dimensions of the barrel 15 of such a end piece, is established at right of the bar 63, with, if desired, a cutaway not shown affecting at an angle, to facilitate the passage of such a barrel 15, the end of its edge close to the bar 63, and, on the other hand, a part of larger cross section 67˝, which, to the dimensions of the collar of insulating material 16 of such a tip, is established in line with the free portion 72 of the sole 62, that is to say in line with the portion of this sole 62 which extends between the bar 63 and the strip 65.

De préférence, et tel que représenté, le berceau 67 est précédé par un pan incliné 73.Preferably, and as shown, the cradle 67 is preceded by an inclined face 73.

Comme le berceau 67, ce pan incliné 73 est étagé, avec une partie 73′ au droit de la partie de moindre section transversale 67′ du berceau 67, et une partie 73˝ au droit de la partie de section transversale plus grande 67˝ de ce berceau 67.Like the cradle 67, this inclined face 73 is stepped, with a part 73 ′ to the right of the part of smaller cross section 67 ′ of the cradle 67, and a part 73˝ to the right of the part of larger cross section 67˝ of this cradle 67.

En variante, cette partie 73˝ du pan incliné 73 peut être supprimée, pour faciliter l'intervention de la lame de coupe 58 de la plaquette de sertissage 25.As a variant, this portion 73 incl of the inclined face 73 can be removed, to facilitate the intervention of the blade section 58 of the crimping plate 25.

La partie de section transversale plus grande 67˝ du berceau 67 se réduit alors à une surface en quart de cylindre, établie le long de l'extrémité transversale correspondante de la portion libre 72 de la semelle 62.The larger cross-section part 67˝ of the cradle 67 then reduces to a quarter-cylinder surface, established along the corresponding transverse end of the free portion 72 of the sole 62.

Au droit du berceau 67, la réglette 65, qui, elle, s'étend sur toute la longueur de la semelle 62, présente une échancrure 74.In line with the cradle 67, the strip 65, which extends over the entire length of the sole 62, has a notch 74.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, cette échancrure 74 est globalement hémi-cylindrique.In the embodiment shown, this notch 74 is generally semi-cylindrical.

De préférence, pour faciliter l'intervention de la lame de coupe 58, cette échancrure 74 est bordée par une encoche entaillant la réglette 65.Preferably, to facilitate the intervention of the cutting blade 58, this notch 74 is bordered by a notch notching the strip 65.

De préférence, également, et tel que représenté, celle, au moins, 70, des lèvres de la rainure 64 de la barrette 63 qui est la plus éloignée de la semelle 62 a son bord libre biseauté par un chanfrein 76 sur toute sa longueur, et il en est de même pour le doigt 68 qui la prolonge.Preferably also, and as shown, that, at least, 70, of the lips of the groove 64 of the bar 63 which is furthest from the sole 62 has its free edge bevelled by a chamfer 76 over its entire length, and it is the same for finger 68 which extends it.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, seule cette lèvre 70 est ainsi biseautée par un tel chanfrein.In the embodiment shown, only this lip 70 is thus bevelled by such a chamfer.

Mais, en variante, l'autre, 77, des lèvres de la rainure 64 de la barrette 63 peut, aussi bien, avoir son bord libre biseauté par un chanfrein sur toute sa longueur.But, as a variant, the other, 77, of the lips of the groove 64 of the bar 63 may, as well, have its free edge bevelled by a chamfer over its entire length.

La portion libre 72 de la semelle 62 présente, longitudinalement, en saillie, sur sa surface à compter de laquelle s'étendent également en saillie la barrette 63 et la réglette 65, au moins un cran porté par une languette élastiquement déformable 80.The free portion 72 of the sole 62 has, longitudinally, projecting, on its surface from which also project the bar 63 and the strip 65, at least one notch carried by an elastically deformable tongue 80.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, il y a ainsi, dûment échelonnées à distance l'une de l'autre, deux languettes élastiquement déformables 80, et le cran correspondant est formé par l'extrémité, relevée, d'une telle languette élastiquement déformable 80.In the embodiment shown, there are thus, duly staggered at a distance from each other, two elastically deformable tongues 80, and the corresponding notch is formed by the end, raised, of such an elastically deformable tongue 80.

En variante, les languettes élastiquement déformables 80 peuvent être droites, et le cran qu'elles portent être formé par un bourrelet saillant.As a variant, the elastically deformable tongues 80 may be straight, and the notch which they bear be formed by a protruding bead.

Pour faciliter, ainsi qu'il apparaîtra ci-après, la manipulation du chargeur 21, sa semelle 62 comporte, aussi, à son extrémité opposée au berceau 67, un prolongement 81, qui, en pratique, forme une simple languette.To facilitate, as will appear below, the handling of the charger 21, its sole 62 also includes, at its end opposite the cradle 67, an extension 81, which, in practice, forms a simple tongue.

A la différence du prolongement 66, la réglette 65 ne s'étend pas sur ce prolongement 81.Unlike the extension 66, the strip 65 does not extend over this extension 81.

Enfin, à leur extrémité opposée au berceau 67, la barrette 63 et la semelle 62 comportent, chacune respectivement, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, des moyens d'emboîtement, tels que saillies ou logements, propres à coopérer en encliquetage avec des moyens d'emboîtement, logements ou saillies, complémentaires.Finally, at their end opposite to the cradle 67, the bar 63 and the sole 62 each have, respectively, in the embodiment shown, interlocking means, such as projections or housings, suitable for cooperating with the snap-fastening means. 'nesting, housing or projections, complementary.

En l'espèce, ces moyens d'emboîtement sont constitués, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, par des saillies 82, qui, disposées, l'une sur la barrette 63, l'autre sur la réglette 65, sont destinées à coopérer en encliquetage avec les évidements 38 de la poignée formant magasin 20 du distributeur 18.In this case, these interlocking means are constituted, in the embodiment shown, by projections 82, which, arranged, one on the bar 63, the other on the strip 65, are intended to cooperate in latching with the recesses 38 of the magazine handle 20 of the distributor 18.

Pour la barrette 63, la saillie 82 vient directement d'un seul tenant de sa tranche longitudinale opposée à la réglette 65, cette saillie 82 étant disposée au voisinage immédiat de l'arête que forme cette tranche longitudinale avec la surface opposée à la semelle 62.For the bar 63, the projection 82 comes directly in one piece from its longitudinal section opposite the strip 65, this projection 82 being disposed in the immediate vicinity of the edge formed by this longitudinal section with the surface opposite to the sole 62 .

Pour la réglette 65, la saillie 82 s'étend en bout d'un doigt 83, pour être à niveau avec la saillie 82 précédente.For the strip 65, the projection 82 extends at the end of a finger 83, to be level with the projection 82 above.

A son dos, la semelle 62 présente, enfin, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, à distance des languettes élastiquement déformables 80, mais en saillie sur la surface de cette semelle 62 opposée à celle sur laquelle font saillie ces languettes élastiquement déformables 80, deux lamelles élastiquement déformables 84 définissant, conjointement, entre elles, un logement 85 qui, s'étendant transversalement, est propre à la réception de la partie médiane de la boucle 45 portée par la poignée formant magasin 20 du distributeur 18.On its back, the sole 62 has, finally, in the embodiment shown, at a distance from the elastically deformable tongues 80, but projecting from the surface of this sole 62 opposite to that on which these elastically deformable tongues 80 protrude, two elastically deformable strips 84 defining, jointly, between them, a housing 85 which, extending transversely, is suitable for receiving the middle part of the loop 45 carried by the magazine handle 20 of the distributor 18.

Pour des raisons de commodité de moulage, ces lamelles élastiquement déformables 84, comme d'ailleurs les languettes élastiquement déformables 80 précédentes, s'étendent en bordure d'évidements affectant de part en part la semelle 62.For reasons of molding convenience, these resiliently deformable strips 84, like the preceding resiliently deformable tongues 80, extend at the edge of recesses affecting the sole 62 right through.

Pour des raisons, également, de commodité de moulage, la barrette 63 et la semelle 62 appartiennent, chacune respectivement, à des volets distincts 87, 88, convenablement rendus solidaires l'un de l'autre.For reasons, also, of convenience of molding, the bar 63 and the sole 62 belong, each respectively, to separate flaps 87, 88, suitably made integral with one another.

Outre la semelle 62, le volet 88 comporte la réglette 65.In addition to the sole 62, the flap 88 includes the strip 65.

Quant au berceau 67, il est partagé entre les deux volets 87, 88 dans la forme de réalisation représentée, avec sa partie de moindre section transversale 67′ sur le volet 87 et sa partie de section transversale plus grande 67˝ sur le volet 88.As for the cradle 67, it is shared between the two flaps 87, 88 in the embodiment shown, with its part of smaller cross section 67 ′ on the flap 87 and its part of larger cross section 67˝ on the flap 88.

En variante, il peut être porté par le seul volet 88, avec juste une échancrure, dans son prolongement, sur le volet 87.As a variant, it can be carried by the single flap 88, with just a notch, in its extension, on the flap 87.

En pratique, le volet 87 porte sur une portion 89 de la semelle 62 dont la surface est légèrement en retrait par rapport à celle de sa portion libre 72, en étant séparé de celle-ci par un épaulement 90.In practice, the flap 87 relates to a portion 89 of the sole 62 whose surface is slightly recessed relative to that of its free portion 72, being separated from the latter by a shoulder 90.

En pratique, également, les volets 87 et 88 sont articulés l'un à l'autre par une ligne charnière 92 qui s'étend le long de l'arête de la semelle 62 opposée à celle le long de laquelle s'étend la réglette 65.In practice, also, the flaps 87 and 88 are articulated to each other by a hinge line 92 which extends along the edge of the sole 62 opposite to that along which extends the strip. 65.

Ainsi, et tel que représenté à la figure 12, le chargeur 21 peut être moulé avec un moule sans tiroir, en étant dans une configuration pour laquelle son volet 87 est dressé sensiblement perpendiculairement à son volet 88.Thus, and as shown in FIG. 12, the charger 21 can be molded with a mold without a drawer, while being in a configuration for which its flap 87 is raised substantially perpendicular to its flap 88.

Après un tel moulage, il suffit de rabattre le volet 87 contre le volet 88 et de le solidariser à celui-ci.After such molding, it suffices to fold the flap 87 against the flap 88 and to secure it to the latter.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur les figures 1 à 17, la solidarisation correspondante est faite par simple collage, l'un et/ou l'autre des volets 87, 88 pouvant si désiré comporter en creux un ou plusieurs logements propres à l'implantation de points de colle.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 17, the corresponding connection is made by simple bonding, one and / or the other of the flaps 87, 88 may if desired include one or more in hollow housings suitable for installing glue dots.

Elle peut également être faite par soudure, et, par exemple, par soudure haute fréquence, par soudure ultra-sons, par soudure à la pointe chaude, ou autre.It can also be made by welding, and, for example, by high frequency welding, by ultrasonic welding, by hot tip welding, or other.

En variante, figure 18, elle résulte d'un encliquetage, le volet 87 présentant, par exemple, de place en place, des crochets 93 par lesquels il peut s'encliqueter, dans l'épaisseur même de la semelle 62 du volet 88, sur des crans 94 prévus à cet effet, à la faveur d'évidements, sur cette semelle 62.As a variant, in FIG. 18, it results from a snap-fastening, the flap 87 having, for example, from place to place, hooks 93 by which it can snap into place, in the very thickness of the sole 62 of the flap 88, on notches 94 provided for this purpose, by means of recesses, on this sole 62.

Quoi qu'il en soit, lorsque les volets 87, 88 ainsi constitutifs du chargeur 21 sont appliqués l'un à l'autre, il suffit, pour son utilisation, d'engager, à l'une de ses extrémités, dans la rainure 64 de la barrette 63 constituant son volet 87, et tel que schématisé en traits interrompus à la figure 8, les accessoires de câblage 14 à distribuer, cette rainure 64 débouchant longitudinalement à l'une et l'autre de ses extrémités.Anyway, when the flaps 87, 88 thus constituting the charger 21 are applied to each other, it suffices, for its use, to engage, at one of its ends, in the groove 64 of the bar 63 constituting its flap 87, and as shown diagrammatically in broken lines in FIG. 8, the wiring accessories 14 to be distributed, this groove 64 opening longitudinally at both of its ends.

Bien entendu, les dispositions sont telles que la largeur de cette rainure 64 correspond au diamètre du fût métallique 15 de ces accessoires de câblage 14, et que la distance séparant de la barrette 63 la réglette 65 correspond à la hauteur de sa collerette en matière isolante 16.Of course, the arrangements are such that the width of this groove 64 corresponds to the diameter of the metal barrel 15 of these wiring accessories 14, and that the distance separating from the bar 63 the strip 65 corresponds to the height of its collar made of insulating material. 16.

A cet égard, et tel qu'illustré par la figure 19, le chargeur 21 peut avantageusement faire office d'adaptateur entre les accessoires de câblage 14 et le distributeur 18.In this regard, and as illustrated in FIG. 19, the charger 21 can advantageously act as an adapter between the wiring accessories 14 and the distributor 18.

En effet, tout en présentant, extérieurement, les mêmes dimensions, celles-ci étant adaptées, comme indiqué ci-dessus, aux dimensions internes de la poignée formant magasin 20 du distributeur 18, ses dimensions intérieures peuvent correspondre, au moins dans une certaine gamme, à divers calibres différents possibles pour les accessoires de câblage 14 à distribuer.Indeed, while presenting, externally, the same dimensions, these being adapted, as indicated above, to the internal dimensions of the handle forming magazine 20 of the dispenser 18, its internal dimensions may correspond, at least within a certain range , at various different sizes possible for the wiring accessories 14 to be distributed.

Ainsi, un même distributeur 18 peut avantageusement convenir à plusieurs calibres différents d'accessoires de câblage 14, seul étant choisi en conséquence le chargeur 21 à mettre en place dans sa poignée formant magasin 20.Thus, the same distributor 18 can advantageously be suitable for several different sizes of wiring accessories 14, only the charger 21 being chosen accordingly. to be put in place in its handle forming a magazine 20.

En pratique, s'agissant d'embouts, ce distributeur peut ainsi avantageusement convenir à lui seul à des embouts de 0,5 - 0,75 - 1 - 1,5 et 2,5 mm², ce qui représente plus de 90 % du marché actuel des embouts de ce type allant de 0,5 à 50 mm².In practice, with regard to end pieces, this distributor can thus advantageously be suitable alone for end pieces of 0.5 - 0.75 - 1 - 1.5 and 2.5 mm², which represents more than 90% of the current market for bits of this type ranging from 0.5 to 50 mm².

Pour distinguer l'un de l'autre les chargeurs 21 différents ainsi susceptibles d'être associés à un même distributeur 18, ces chargeurs 21 peuvent par exemple être de couleurs différentes.To distinguish one from the other the different chargers 21 thus likely to be associated with the same distributor 18, these chargers 21 can for example be of different colors.

Bien entendu, les accessoires de câblage 14 peuvent être placés à l'unité, l'un après l'autre, dans un tel chargeur 21.Of course, the wiring accessories 14 can be placed individually, one after the other, in such a charger 21.

Mais, préférentiellement, et comme également indiqué ci-dessus, ils interviennent en chapelet, ce qui en facilite et en rend plus rapide la mise en place.But, preferably, and as also indicated above, they operate in a chain, which facilitates and makes it faster to set up.

Quoi qu'il en soit, pour la mise en place, dans la poignée formant magasin 20 du distributeur 18, d'un chargeur 21 ainsi chargé en accessoires de câblage 14, il peut être avantageusement tiré profit, tel qu'illustré par la figure 13A, de la boucle 45 équipant cette poignée formant magasin 20.Anyway, for the establishment, in the magazine handle 20 of the distributor 18, of a charger 21 thus loaded with wiring accessories 14, it can be advantageously taken advantage of, as illustrated in the figure 13A, of the loop 45 equipping this handle forming a magazine 20.

A cet effet, cette boucle 45 est déployée sensiblement à 90° par rapport à la partie courante 33 de cette poignée formant magasin 20, et, par son extrémité présentant, dirigé du côté de la poignée formant magasin 20, le berceau 67, ce chargeur 21 y est engagé, ce qui en facilite le guidage en direction de la mâchoire 27 de cette poignée formant magasin 20.To this end, this loop 45 is deployed substantially at 90 ° relative to the main part 33 of this magazine handle 20, and, by its end having, directed towards the side of the magazine handle 20, the cradle 67, this charger 21 is engaged therein, which facilitates guiding it towards the jaw 27 of this magazine handle 20.

Lorsque, par sa tranche transversale correspondante, le chargeur 21 vient en butée contre le rebord transversal 31 de la mâchoire 27, il trouve exactement sa place dans la poignée formant magasin 20, et il peut dès lors être emboîté dans celle-ci, avec encliquetage, par simple déformation élastique, de ses saillies 82 dans les évidements complémentaires 38 que comporte à cet effet cette poignée formant magasin 20.When, by its corresponding transverse section, the magazine 21 abuts against the transverse rim 31 of the jaw 27, it finds its exact place in the magazine handle 20, and it can therefore be nested therein, with snap-fastening , by simple elastic deformation, of its protrusions 82 in the complementary recesses 38 which this handle forming a magazine 20 has for this purpose.

Seule, dès lors, fait saillie de cette dernière, la languette constituant le prolongement 81 de sa semelle 62, cette languette étant prévue pour en faciliter ultérieurement le retrait, après épuisement des accessoires de câblage 14 qu'il contient, ou pour un changement de calibre pour ceux-ci.Only, therefore, protrudes from the latter, the tongue constituting the extension 81 of its sole 62, this tongue being provided to facilitate subsequent removal thereof, after exhaustion of the wiring accessories 14 which it contains, or for a change of caliber for these.

En période de non-utilisation, figure 13B, la poignée formant outil 22 est rapprochée, à l'encontre de la lame de ressort 44, de la poignée formant magasin 20, et, par engagement sur elle de la boucle 45 portée par cette dernière, jusqu'à venue en prise de cette boucle 45 avec l'un des crans 53 qu'elle porte à son dos, elle est maintenue ainsi rapprochée de cette dernière, avec, ainsi, pour l'ensemble, une configuration de rangement avantageusement minimale.In period of non-use, FIG. 13B, the handle forming a tool 22 is brought closer, against the spring leaf 44, to the handle forming a magazine 20, and, by engagement on it of the loop 45 carried by the latter , until this loop 45 engages with one of the notches 53 which it carries on its back, it is kept thus close to the latter, with, thus, for the whole, an advantageously minimal storage configuration. .

Pour l'utilisation du distributeur 18, figures 14A, 14B, 14C, la boucle 45 portée par sa poignée formant magasin 20 est, par pivotement, dégagée de sa poignée formant outil 22, jusqu `à venir s'enclencher, par sa partie médiane, dans le logement 85 défini par les lamelles élastiquement déformables 84 du chargeur 21 présent dans la poignée formant magasin 20, ce qui affermit la position de ce chargeur 21 dans celle-ci.For the use of the distributor 18, FIGS. 14A, 14B, 14C, the loop 45 carried by its handle forming a magazine 20 is, by pivoting, disengaged from its handle forming a tool 22, until it comes to engage, by its middle part. , in the housing 85 defined by the elastically deformable strips 84 of the magazine 21 present in the magazine handle 20, which strengthens the position of this magazine 21 therein.

Les mâchoires 27, 28 du distributeur 18 étant dès lors écartées, il est possible, à l'opérateur, de faire avancer, d'un cran, au pouce, à la faveur de la lumière 40 de la poignée formant magasin 20, les accessoires de câblage 14 présents dans le chargeur 21 en place dans celle-ci.The jaws 27, 28 of the distributor 18 being therefore spaced apart, it is possible for the operator to advance, by one notch, per inch, using the light 40 of the handle forming the magazine 20, the accessories wiring 14 present in the charger 21 in place therein.

Si, pour faciliter cette action, la lumière 40 peut aller en s'approfondissant en direction des mâchoires 27, 28.If, to facilitate this action, the light 40 can go deeper towards the jaws 27, 28.

Quoi qu'il en soit, par franchissement du pan incliné 73, le premier des accessoires de câblage 14 se met en place dans le berceau 67, au droit de la plaquette de sertissage 25 portée par la poignée formant outil 22 cependant que, dans le chargeur 21, les languettes élastiquement déformables 80 s'opposent à tout mouvement rétrograde du chapelet que constituent préférentiellement les accessoires de câblage 14 restants.Anyway, by crossing the inclined face 73, the first of the wiring accessories 14 is put in place in the cradle 67, in line with the crimping plate 25 carried by the tool handle 22 however, in the loader 21, the elastically deformable tongues 80 oppose any retrograde movement of the chain which preferentially constitute the remaining wiring accessories 14.

Il suffit, dès lors, à l'opérateur, d'engager dans l'accessoire de câblage 14 ainsi présent dans le berceau 67, à la faveur, successivement, de l'échancrure 32 de la poignée formant magasin 20 et de l'échancrure 74 du chargeur 21 précédant ce berceau 67, le conducteur électrique 12 à équiper, figure 14A.It is therefore sufficient for the operator to engage in the wiring accessory 14 thus present in the cradle 67, in favor, successively, of the notch 32 of the handle forming a magazine 20 and the notch 74 of the charger 21 preceding this cradle 67, the electrical conductor 12 to be fitted, FIG. 14A.

Les poignées 20, 22 étant rapprochées l'une de l'autre, tel que représenté à la figure 14B, la plaquette de sertissage 25 de la poignée formant outil 22, dont l'effort se trouve alors contrebuté par la traverse 23 de la poignée formant magasin 20, vient s'ancrer, par ses dents 57, sur le fût métallique 15 de l'accessoire de câblage 14 concerné, en y formant dès lors les déformations locales de sertissage 26 recherchées pour son sertissage sur l'extrémité 10 de l'âme conductrice 11 du conducteur électrique 12, cependant que, conjointement, la lame de coupe 58 vient trancher la liaison existant entre cet accessoire de câblage 14 et le suivant.The handles 20, 22 being brought close to each other, as shown in FIG. 14B, the crimping plate 25 of the handle forming tool 22, the force of which is then buttressed by the cross member 23 of the handle forming a store 20, is anchored by its teeth 57 on the metal barrel 15 of the wiring accessory 14 concerned, thereby forming there the local crimping deformations 26 sought for its crimping on the end 10 of the conductive core 11 of the electrical conductor 12, while jointly cutting blade 58 cuts the connection between this wiring accessory 14 and the following.

Ainsi qu'on le notera, la coupe correspondante intervient avantageusement, en temps masqué, en même temps que le sertissage.As will be noted, the corresponding cut takes place advantageously, in masked time, at the same time as the crimping.

En pratique, au terme du rapprochement relatif des poignées 20, 22, et bien que le sertissage recherché soit obtenu avant, la poignée formant magasin 20 vient en appui contre le rebord transversal 52, formant butée, prévu à cet effet sur la poignée formant outil 22, au prix, éventuellement, d'une légère flexion élastique de sa part, ce qui garantit l'exécution d'un sertissage correct quel que soit le calibre de l'accessoire de câblage 14 concerné.In practice, at the end of the relative approximation of the handles 20, 22, and although the desired crimping is obtained before, the magazine handle 20 comes to bear against the transverse edge 52, forming a stop, provided for this purpose on the tool handle 22, at the cost, possibly, of a slight elastic bending on its part, which guarantees the execution of a correct crimping whatever the caliber of the wiring accessory 14 concerned.

Il suffit, enfin, les poignées 20, 22 étant libérées, figure 14C, d'en retirer le conducteur électrique 12, celui-ci entraînant alors avec lui l'accessoire de câblage 14 qui lui a été dûment rapporté par sertissage.It suffices, finally, the handles 20, 22 being released, FIG. 14C, to remove the electrical conductor 12 therefrom, the latter then carrying with it the wiring accessory 14 which has been duly brought to it by crimping.

Tel que mentionné ci-dessus et tel qu'il est mieux visible sur les figures 15 à 17, l'une et l'autre des déformations locales de sertissage 26 correspondantes n'affectent avantageusement que localement le fût 15 concerné de cet accessoire de câblage 14, en sorte que, prise dans son ensemble, la section transversale de ce fût 15 ne se trouve pas sensiblement modifiée.As mentioned above and as it is better visible in FIGS. 15 to 17, both of the corresponding local crimping deformations 26 advantageously only locally affect the barrel 15 of this wiring accessory 14, so that, taken as a whole, the cross section of this barrel 15 is not significantly modified.

Pour l'équipement d'un nouveau conducteur électrique 12, les opérations précédentes sont répétées, les accessoires de câblage 14 avançant à chaque fois d'un cran.For equipping a new electrical conductor 12, the previous operations are repeated, the wiring accessories 14 advancing each step.

Ainsi qu'il est aisé de le comprendre, le doigt 68 que présente le chargeur 21 au-dessus de son berceau 67 assure avantageusement un maintien convenable dans celui-ci du dernier de ces accessoires de câblage 14.As is easy to understand, the finger 68 presented by the charger 21 above its cradle 67 advantageously ensures that the last of these wiring accessories 14 is properly held in it.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas aux formes de réalisation décrites et représentées, mais elle englobe toute variante d'exécution.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but it encompasses any variant.

En particulier, les poignées constitutives du distributeur suivant l'invention peuvent aussi bien former des leviers d'un genre différent de celui des leviers qu'elles forment dans la forme de réalisation plus particulièrement décrite et représentée ; par exemple, au lieu d'être articulées l'une à l'autre à la manière d'une pince, elles pourraient l'être à la manière d'un casse-noix.In particular, the handles constituting the dispenser according to the invention may as well form levers of a different kind from that of the levers which they form in the embodiment more particularly described and shown; for example, instead of being hinged to each other in the manner of pliers, they could be hinged in the manner of a nutcracker.

En outre, si, dans la forme de réalisation plus particulièrement décrite et représentée, le berceau recevant l'accessoire de câblage à sertir appartient au chargeur associé au distributeur suivant l'invention, il pourrait tout aussi bien appartenir directement à ce distributeur, soit, par exemple, qu'il soit alors prévu autant de distributeurs qu'il y a de calibres pour les accessoires de câblage à sertir, soit que ce berceau soit interchangeable.In addition, if, in the embodiment more particularly described and shown, the cradle receiving the crimping wiring accessory belongs to the charger associated with the distributor according to the invention, it could just as easily belong directly to this distributor, either, for example, that as many distributors are then provided as there are sizes for the crimping wiring accessories, or that this cradle is interchangeable.

Il en est de même pour le doigt de retenue surplombant ce berceau.It is the same for the retaining finger overhanging this cradle.
