Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verbindungsglied aus elektrisch leitendem Material für Anschlussvorrichtungen zum Verbinden elektrisch isolierter Leitungsadern.The present invention relates to a connecting member made of electrically conductive material for connection devices for connecting electrically insulated line wires.

Verbindungsglieder dieser Art sowie die diese aufnehmenden Anschlussvorrichtungen sind bisher von unterschiedlichster Bauart, je nach Verwendung der Verbindungsglieder als Durch­gangskontakte oder als Trennkontakte. Entsprechend gross ist dabei sowohl der Herstellungsaufwand wie auch der Aufwand zur Lagerung der verschiedenstartigen Bauteile hierfür.Connecting links of this type and the connecting devices receiving them have hitherto been of very different types, depending on the use of the connecting links as through contacts or as isolating contacts. The manufacturing effort as well as the effort for storing the various components for this purpose are correspondingly large.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, ein Verbin­ dungsglied der vorgenannten Art zu schaffen, das sich sowohl als Trennkontakt wie auch als Durchgangskontakt eignet.The object of the present invention is now a verb to create a member of the aforementioned type, which is suitable both as a break contact and as a through contact.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäss erreicht durch einen U-förmigen Teil, dessen Schenkel je in einen flächig verbreiterten, Auf­nahmeschlitze für Aderenden aufweisenden Endteil übergehen, die sich in zwei wenigstens angenähert parallelen Ebenen ge­genüberliegen, wobei seitlich der Schenkel von den Endteilen federnde, sich einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktzungen ab­ragen, die je am freien Ende eine Kontaktfläche tragen, wel­che unter der Wirkung der Federspannung der Kontaktzungen mit vorgegebenem Druck aneinander liegen.This is achieved according to the invention by a U-shaped part, the legs of which each merge into an area-widened end portion having receiving slots for wire ends, which lie opposite one another in two at least approximately parallel planes, with the leg projecting laterally from the end parts, resilient, opposing contact tongues , each of which carries a contact surface at the free end, which lie against one another under the effect of the spring tension of the contact tongues at a predetermined pressure.

Somit besteht am Verbindungsglied selbst ein vollständiger, trennbarer Kontakt, wogegen bisher die Verbindungsglieder nur eine der Kontaktzungen umfassen, die dann mit Kontaktzungen an einem Stecker zusammenwirken. In dieser Form bildet das erfindungsgemässe Verbindungsglied einen Durchgangskontakt, der an seinen trennbaren Kontaktzungen durch Einstecken eines Prüfsteckers überprüfbar ist.Thus, there is a complete, separable contact on the connecting element itself, whereas so far the connecting elements only comprise one of the contact tongues, which then interact with contact tongues on a plug. In this form, the connecting element according to the invention forms a through contact, which can be checked at its separable contact tongues by inserting a test plug.

Soll hingegen ein Trennkontakt Verwendung finden, ist es le­diglich notwendig, den einen oder anderen Schenkel des U-för­migen Teiles an vorgegebener Stelle zu trennen.On the other hand, if a break contact is to be used, it is only necessary to separate one or the other leg of the U-shaped part at a predetermined point.

Entsprechend betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung weiter eine Anschlussvorrichtung zum Verbinden elektrisch isolierter Lei­tungsadern, mit einer, eine Anzahl von in einer Reihe neben­einander angeordneter Verbindungsglieder aufweisenden An­schlussleiste, welche sich erfindungsgemäss dadurch auszeich­net, dass jedes Verbindungsglied einen U-förmigen Teil auf­weist, dessen Schenkel je in einen flächig verbreiterten, Aufnahmeschlitze für Aderenden aufweisenden Endteil übergehen, die sich in zwei wenigstens angenähert parallelen Ebenen ge­genüberliegen, wobei seitlich der Schenkel von den Endteilen federnde, sich einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktzungen ab­ragen, die je am freien Ende eine Kontaktfläche tragen, wel­che unter der Wirkung der Federspannung der Kontaktzungen mit vorgegebenem Druck aneinander liegen, zwischen welche Kontaktzungen resp. Kontaktflächen ein Prüfstecker oder dgl. von der Frontseite der Anschlussleiste her einsteckbar ist.Accordingly, the present invention further relates to one Connection device for connecting electrically insulated cable cores, with a connection strip having a number of connecting elements arranged in a row next to one another, which is characterized according to the invention in that each connecting element has a U-shaped part, the legs of which each have a widened surface area with receiving slots for wire ends Pass over the end part, which lie opposite each other in at least approximately parallel planes, the side of the leg protruding from the end parts resilient, mutually opposite contact tongues, each of which carries a contact surface at the free end, which lie against one another under the effect of the spring tension of the contact tongues with a predetermined pressure , between which contact tongues resp. Contact surfaces a test plug or the like. Can be inserted from the front of the terminal block.

Eine solche Anschlussleiste umfasst somit Durchgangskontakte.Such a terminal block thus includes through contacts.

Soll hingegen eine Anschlussleiste mit Trennkontakten Verwen­dung finden, so ist es notwendig, wenn einige oder jedes der Verbindungsglieder an einer vorgegebenen Stelle an einem der Schenkel getrennt und die getrennten Schenkelteile durch ei­nen, sich über einen Teil oder über die ganze Länge der An­schlussleiste erstreckenden Kammsteg auseinandergehalten sind, wobei zwischen die Kontaktzungen resp. Kontaktflächen eine sich über einen Teil oder über die ganze Länge der Anschluss­ leiste erstreckende Trennleiste von der Frontseite her ein­steckbar ist.On the other hand, if a terminal block with isolating contacts is to be used, it is necessary if some or each of the connecting links are separated at a predetermined location on one of the legs and the separated leg parts are separated by a comb web extending over part or over the entire length of the terminal bar are, respectively between the contact tongues. Contact areas one over part or over the entire length of the connection bar extending dividing strip can be inserted from the front.

Somit ergibt sich eine Verwendung des erfindungsgemässen Ver­bindungsgliedes in einer Anschlussvorrichtung zum Verbinden elektrisch isolierter Leistungsadern entweder als Durchgangs­kontakt oder als Trennkontakt.This results in the use of the connecting element according to the invention in a connection device for connecting electrically insulated power wires either as a through contact or as an isolating contact.

Here, too, each connecting member 1 then comprises a U-shaped part 2, the legs 3 of which each merge into an area-widened end part 5 which has receiving slots 4 for wire ends, which lie opposite one another in two at least approximately parallel planes, with the leg 3 from the end parts laterally 5 resilient, opposite contact tongues 6 protrude, each carrying a contact surface 7 at the free end, which are under the action of the spring tension of the contact tongues 6 with a predetermined pressure.

Gemäss Fig. 4 kann nun zwischen den Kontaktzungen 6 resp. Kontaktflächen 7 ein Prüfstecker 11 oder dgl. von der Front­seite der Anschlussleiste 10 her eingesteckt werden, wie das vorstehend schon erwähnt wurde.4 can now between the tongues 6 and 6 respectively. Contact surfaces 7, a test plug 11 or the like can be inserted from the front of the terminal block 10, as has already been mentioned above.

Bei den Ausführungsformen gemäss Fig. 3 und 5 wird jedes Verbindungsglied 1 als Trennkontakt verwendet. Entsprechend sind einige oder jedes der Verbindungsglieder 1 an einer vorgegebenen Stelle 8 an einem der Schenkel 3 getrennt und die getrennten Schenkelteile durch einen, sich über einen Teil oder über die ganze Länge der Anschlussleiste 10 er­streckenden Kammsteg 12 auseinandergehalten sind, wobei zwi­schen die Kontaktzungen 6 resp. Kontaktflächen 7 eine sich über einen Teil oder über die ganze Länge der Anschluss­leiste 10 erstreckende Trennleiste 13 von der Frontseite her einsteckbar ist (Fig. 5).In the embodiments according to FIGS. 3 and 5, each connecting element 1 is used as an isolating contact. Accordingly, some or each of the links 1 are on one predetermined point 8 on one of the legs 3 separated and the separated leg parts are held apart by a comb web 12 extending over part or over the entire length of the terminal strip 10, with the contact tongues 6 and.
