Abstract

The identification support has a C-shaped rigid supporting piece (1, 2) which engages under the electrical conductor (3) after fitment. The mouth opening of the supporting piece can be closed by means of an elastically articulated further arm (4) which, for its part, has a double-armed clip (5a, 5b) which can be rotated elastically, and whose one arm (5a) acts as a clamping piece on the electrical conductor (3) and hence also presses the other arm (5b) in the closed position onto the lower opening edge of the mouth. …<IMAGE>…

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bezeichnungsträger für elektrische Leiter, mit einem zweiarmigen, den Leiter umgreifenden Träger­körper und einem an einem der Arme vorgesehenen Klemmstück für den elektrischen Leiter.The invention relates to a label carrier for electrical conductors, with a two-armed carrier body encompassing the conductor and a clamping piece provided on one of the arms for the electrical conductor.

Bei einem bekannten Bezeichnungsträger der gattungsgemäßen Art (DE-C-33 43 064) ist eine Ausführungsform vorgesehen, bei der zwei elastisch verformbare Arme den Leiter nach dem Aufsetzen des Bezeichnungsträgers zwar unterseitig teilweise umgreifen, dies jedoch nicht vollständig. An einem der elastischen Arme befindet sich dabei ein in der Wegbahn des aufzunehmenden Leiters liegendes Klemmstück, das zugleich als Rastelement ausgebildet ist, das mit einer Gegenraste am Trägerkörper in Rasteingriff gerät, dies jedoch dann oberhalb des Leiters. Zwar geschehen hierbei das Aufnehmen des Leiters und die Ver­rastung beim Aufsetzen des Bezeichnungsträgers auf einen elektrischen Leiter automatisch, doch bietet diese Art der Lagefixierung mit der nicht vollständigen Untergreifung des elektrischen Leiters auf seiner Unterseite und der Verrastung auf der Oberseite des Leiters nicht immer eine ausreichende Sicherheit gegen ungewolltes Verlagern oder Abfallen des Be­zeichnungsträgers. Die DE-C-33 43 064 zeigt zwar des weiteren einen Bezeichnungsträger mit einem zweiarmig den Leiter um­greifenden Trägerkörper, bei dem Formschlußverriegelungs­elemente an den unteren Kanten der beiden elastischen Arme vorgesehen sind, wobei über die Länge der Flügel verteilt mehrere Klemmelemente vorhanden sind. Zwar kann bei dieser Ausgestaltung der Bezeichnungsträger nachträglich auch auf schon angeschlossenen elektrischen Leitern durch die Form­schlußverriegelung unterhalb des Leiters zuverlässig und sicher verrastet werden, doch erfordert diese dort vorge­sehene Verrastung einen separaten Arbeitsgang, nämlich das seitliche Zusammendrücken der Flügel. Dies ist einerseits zeitraubend und bei den normalerweise gegebenen sehr beengten räumlichen Verhältnissen umständlich, soweit es sich im Hinblick auf eben diese räumlich äußerst beengten Verhältnisse in einigen Fällen überhaupt durchführen läßt. Die Länge dieser elastischen Arme ist relativ groß, so daß dieser Bezeichnungsträger einen recht hohen Platzbedarf hat.In a known label carrier of the generic type (DE-C-33 43 064) an embodiment is provided in which two elastically deformable arms partially grip the conductor on the underside after the label carrier has been put on, but not completely. On one of the elastic arms there is a clamping piece lying in the path of the conductor to be accommodated, which is at the same time designed as a latching element, which comes into latching engagement with a counter-latching on the carrier body, but then above the conductor. Although the conductor is picked up and locked when the label is placed on an electrical conductor, this type of position fixation does not always provide sufficient security with the incomplete grip under the electrical conductor on its underside and the locking on the top of the conductor against unwanted shifting or dropping of the label. DE-C-33 43 064 shows a label holder with a two-armed support body, in which positive locking elements are provided on the lower edges of the two elastic arms, distributed over the length of the wings several clamping elements are available. Although this designation of the label can be reliably and safely locked on already connected electrical conductors by the positive locking below the conductor, the locking provided there requires a separate operation, namely the lateral compression of the wings. On the one hand, this is time-consuming and cumbersome given the normally very cramped spatial conditions, insofar as it can be carried out in some cases in view of these extremely cramped conditions. The length of these elastic arms is relatively large, so that this label has a very large amount of space.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bezeichnungsträger zu schaffen, der bei einfachem konstruktiven Aufbau automatisch bei dem Montagevorgang des Aufsetzens auf den zu kennzeichnenden Leiter auf diesem mit sicherem Halt, dieses auch bei Leitern eines relativ großen unterschiedlichen Durchmesserbereiches, aufzusetzen ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a label that with a simple structural design automatically in the assembly process of placing on the conductor to be marked on this with a secure hold, this is also to conductors of a relatively large different diameter range to put on.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht bei einem Bezeichnungs­träger der gattungsgemäßen Art im wesentlichen darin, daß der eine Arm des Tragkörpers zusammen mit diesem ein C-för­miges, starres Tragstück bildet und der andere Arm des Trag­körpers als elastisch an dem oberen Maulöffnungsbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes angelenktes Schließstück für diese Maulöffnung ausgebildet ist, welches im unteren Maulöffnungs­bereich einen elastisch drehbar an ihm angeordneten Doppelarm­ bügel aufweist, dessen oberer Arm das Klemmstück für den elektrischen Leiter bildet und dessen anderer Arm in der Schließstellung an den unteren Maulöffnungsrand angedrückt ist.The solution according to the invention consists in a label carrier of the generic type essentially in that one arm of the support body forms a C-shaped, rigid support piece with this and the other arm of the support body as an elastically articulated to the upper mouth opening region of the C-shaped support piece is designed for this mouth opening, which has an elastically rotatable double arm arranged on it in the lower mouth opening region has bracket, the upper arm forms the clamping piece for the electrical conductor and the other arm is pressed in the closed position to the lower mouth opening edge.

Beim Aufsetzen eines derartigen Bezeichnungsträgers kann der elektrische Leiter zunächst über den Außenbodenbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes auf den unteren Maulöffnungs­bereich zugleiten, trifft hier dann im Verlaufe der Aufdrük­kung auf den elektrischen Leiter auf dem unteren Arm des Doppelarmbügels als Teil des elastisch die Maulöffnung verschließenden Armes, so daß der Arm insgesamt elastisch nach außen gedrückt wird, bis der elektrische Leiter über den unteren Maulöffnungsrand hinweg in den Innenbodenbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes eintreten kann, wobei er auf den oberen, als Klemmstück wirkenden Arm des Doppelarmbügels trifft, der dabei nach innen oben zurückgedrückt wird derge­stalt, daß nach Aufnahme des elektrischen Leiters im inneren Bodenbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes von dem von dem elektrischen Leiter beaufschlagten Klemmstück der Bezeichnungs­träger insgesamt elastisch federnd an den elektrischen Leiter angedrückt wird und zugleich über das Klemmstück auch elastisch federnd der andere Arm des Doppelarmbügels in Schließlage an den unteren Maulöffnungsrand angedrückt wird. Es ergibt sich auch insoweit ein funktionssicherer Halt, als der untere innere Bodenbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes ein starres stabiles den innenliegenden Leiter vollständig untergreifendes Gegenlager bildet, an das die Andrückung mittels des Klemmstückes stattfindet. Einem unbeabsich­tigten Herabfallen des Bezeichnungsträgers vom Leiter steht auch die Andrückung des anderen Armes des Doppelarmbügels an den unteren Maulöffnungsrand entgegen. Ein funktions­sicherer Halt ergibt sich auch bei elektrischen Leitern recht beträchtlich unterschiedlichen Durchmessers, da die C-Form des Tragstückes eine Dimensionierung bis hin zu relativ großen Leiterdurchmessern ermöglicht und andererseits die Klemmwirkung des Doppelarmbügels als Teils des elastischen die Maulöffnung insgesamt verschlie­ßenden Armes für einen großen Leiterdurchmesserbereich hinreichend kräftig zur Wirkung kommt. Bei automatischem Aufsetzvorgang bis hin zum Erreichen der Schließstellung hat der Bezeichnungsträger auch noch einen denkbar ein­fachen konstruktiven Aufbau mit einem geringen Platz­bedarf, wobei er insbesondere keine komplizierten und in Rasteingriff zu bringende Formschlußverriegelungs­elemente benötigt.When such a designation carrier is put on, the electrical conductor can initially slide over the outer bottom region of the C-shaped support piece onto the lower jaw opening region, then in the course of being pressed onto the electrical conductor on the lower arm of the double arm bracket as part of the arm elastically closing the jaw opening, so that the arm as a whole is pressed elastically outward until the electrical conductor can enter the inner bottom region of the C-shaped support piece via the lower mouth opening edge, where it meets the upper arm of the double arm bracket, which acts as a clamping piece, and which thereby moves inward upwards is pressed back in such a way that after receiving the electrical conductor in the inner bottom region of the C-shaped support piece of the clamping piece acted upon by the electrical conductor, the label carrier is pressed elastically resiliently against the electrical conductor and at the same time via d As the clamping piece, the other arm of the double arm bracket is also pressed resiliently in the closed position against the lower mouth opening edge. There is also a functionally reliable hold insofar as the lower inner bottom region of the C-shaped support piece forms a rigid, stable counter-support which completely engages under the inner conductor, to which the pressing takes place by means of the clamping piece. An accidental drop of the label from the conductor is also the pressing of the other arm of the double arm bracket towards the lower edge of the mouth opening. A functionally reliable hold also results in considerably different diameters for electrical conductors, since the C-shape of the support piece allows dimensioning up to relatively large conductor diameters and, on the other hand, the clamping effect of the double arm bracket as part of the elastic arm closing the mouth opening as a whole is sufficient for a large conductor diameter range comes into effect. In the case of an automatic fitting process up to reaching the closed position, the label also has an extremely simple construction with a small space requirement, in particular it does not require any complicated interlocking locking elements to be brought into locking engagement.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteran­sprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further preferred configurations are characterized in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Bezeichnungsträgers gemäß der Erfindung wird nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher beschrieben.An embodiment of a label according to the invention is described below with reference to the drawing.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 einen auf einen elektrischen Leiter aufgesetzten Bezeichnungsträger in perspektivischer Darstellung,
  • Figuren 2 bis 6 schematisierte Seitenansichten mit einer Illustra­tion der gegenseitigen Relativlagen von elektri­schem Leiter und Bezeichnungsträger vom Beginn der Montage bis zu derem Abschluß.
Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a label carrier placed on an electrical conductor,
  • Figures 2 to 6 schematic side views with an illustration of the mutual relative positions of the electrical conductor and label holder from the start of assembly to the end.

Der Bezeichnungsträger gemäß Ausführungsbeispiel hat einen Trägerkörper 1, der zusammen mit einem Arm 2 ein C-förmiges, starres Tragstück bildet, wobei der untere Innenraum dieses C-förmigen Tragstückes nach dem Aufsetzen dieses Bezeich­nungsträgers auf einen elektrischen Leiter eben diesen elektrischen Leiter 3 aufnimmt. Der Bodenbereich des C-för­migen Tragstückes 1, 2 umgreift in der Montagelage (Fig. 6) die Unterseite des elektrischen Leiters 3 vollständig und bildet für diesen ein starres stabiles Gegenlager.The label carrier according to the exemplary embodiment has a carrier body 1 which, together with an arm 2, forms a C-shaped, rigid support piece, the lower interior of this C-shaped support piece receiving this label conductor on this electrical conductor 3 after placing this label holder on an electrical conductor. The bottom region of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 completely engages around the underside of the electrical conductor 3 in the assembly position (FIG. 6) and forms a rigid, stable counter bearing for the latter.

Die einseitige Maulöffnung des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 ist durch einen weiteren Arm 4 des Bezeichnungsträgers ver­schließbar. Dazu ist dieser Arm 4 elastisch an dem oberen Maulöffnungsrand des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 angelenkt, wobei zweckmäßig eine einstückige Ausbildung erfolgt und die erforderliche elastische Verformbarkeit unter Zugrundelegung der Elastizitätswerte des Her­stellungsmateriales, vorzugsweise eines elektrisch iso­lierenden Kunststoffes, durch die Wandstärke in der Anlenk­zone, die insoweit dann Scharnierzone ist, erreicht wird.The one-sided mouth opening of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 can be closed by a further arm 4 of the label. For this purpose, this arm 4 is articulated elastically on the upper mouth opening edge of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2, a one-piece design expediently being carried out and the required elastic deformability based on the elasticity values of the production material, preferably an electrically insulating plastic, by the wall thickness in the articulation zone , which is then the hinge zone.

Der elastisch an das C-förmige Tragstück 1, 2 angelenkte Arm 4 weist im unteren Maulöffnungsbereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 ferner einen elastisch drehbar an ihm ange­ordneten Doppelarmbügel 5a, 5b auf. Auch hier ist zweck­mäßig der Doppelarm 5a, 5b in seinem Drehpunkt im Verhältnis zum Arm 4 im übrigen einstückig mit diesem über eine Scharnierzone 6 verbunden. Der obere, in das Maul des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 hineinragende Arm 5a liegt in der Wegbahn des in dem Maul aufzunehmenden elektrischen Leiters 3 und wirkt mit diesem in noch zu beschreibender Weise für die Festsetzung des Bezeichnungsträgers auf dem elektrischen Leiter 3 zusammen.The arm 4 articulated elastically to the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 also has a double-arm bracket 5a, 5b arranged in an elastically rotatable manner in the lower mouth opening area of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2. Here, too, the double arm 5a, 5b is expediently connected in one piece with its pivot point in relation to the arm 4 via a hinge zone 6. The upper arm 5a projecting into the mouth of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 lies in the path of the electrical conductor 3 to be received in the mouth and interacts with it in a manner to be described below for fixing the label on the electrical conductor 3.

Der Montagevorgang, d. h. das Aufsetzen eines Bezeichnungs­trägers gemäß der Erfindung auf einen elektrischen Leiter 3, der beispielsweise im übrigen schon fest angeschlossen sein kann, ist in der Aufeinanderfolge der Figuren 2 bis 6 in den einzelnen wesentlichen Phasen illustriert. Gemäß Figur 2 wird der Bezeichnungsträger in seiner normalen unbenutzten Ruhestellung über den elektrischen Leiter 3 verbracht und dann von oben auf den elektrischen Leiter 3 aufgedrückt, wie dies in Figur 3 illustriert ist. Der äußere untere Boden­bereich des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 ist dabei zweckmäßig als Führungsschräge 7 ausgebildet. Beim Aufdrücken rutscht der Bezeichnungsträger 1 somit auf der Führungsschräge 7 auf der Oberfläche des elektrischen Leiters 3, bis der untere Arm 5b des Doppelarmbügels 5a, 5b des elastisch angelenkten Arms 4 auf den elektrischen Leiter 3 trifft (Fig. 3). Bei weiterem Aufdrücken wird der Doppelarmbügel 5a, 5b samt elastisch angelenktem Arm 4 elastisch nach außen gedrückt, wodurch gemäß Fig. 4 und 5 der elektrische Leiter 3 in den Innenbereich des Maules des C-förmigen Tragstückes 1, 2 eintreten kann. Nach dem Durchtritt durch die somit frei­werdende Eintrittsöffnung stößt der elektrische Leiter 3 dann umgehend gemäß Fig. 5 auf den als Klemmstück wirkenden oberen Arm 5a des Doppelarmbügels 5a, 5b und dreht diesen um die Scharnierzone 6 herum nach oben (sh. Vergleich der Fig. 4 und 5), so daß der elektrische Leiter 3 nun insgesamt in das freigegebene Innere des Maules eintreten kann und hier seine Lage im inneren Bodenbereich des Maules des C-förmigen Tragkörpers 1, 2 findet (Fig. 6). Er wird hier durch die aufrechterhalten bleibende Klemmkraft des mit dieser Klemmkraft auf ihn einwirkenden oberen Armes 5a des Doppelarmbügels 5a, 5b gehalten, wobei diese Klemmkraft noch durch die elastische Rückstellkraft des sich wieder in seine Ausgangslage bewegenden elastisch angelenkten Armes 4 unterstützt wird. Der klemmend auf den elektrischen Leiter 3 einwirkende obere Arm 5a hält dabei ferner auch, wie aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich, den anderen unteren Arm 5b des Doppel­armbügels 5a, 5b in seiner Schließstellung an den unteren Maulöffnungsrand angedrückt. Der Zugang ist damit zuver­lässig verschlossen.The assembly process, ie the placement of a label according to the invention on an electrical conductor 3, which, for example, can already be permanently connected, is illustrated in the sequence of FIGS. 2 to 6 in the individual essential phases. According to FIG. 2, the label in its normal unused rest position is moved over the electrical conductor 3 and then pressed onto the electrical conductor 3 from above, as illustrated in FIG. 3. The outer lower bottom region of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 is expediently designed as a guide slope 7. When pressed on, the label 1 thus slides on the guide slope 7 on the surface of the electrical conductor 3 until the lower arm 5b of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b of the elastically articulated arm 4 meets the electrical conductor 3 (FIG. 3). When pressed further, the double arm bracket 5a, 5b together with the elastically articulated arm 4 is pressed elastically outwards, as a result of which the electrical conductor 3 can enter the interior of the mouth of the C-shaped support piece 1, 2 according to FIGS. 4 and 5. After passing through the entry opening thus freed, the electrical conductor 3 immediately hits the upper arm 5a of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b, which acts as a clamping piece, as shown in FIG. 5, and rotates it upward around the hinge zone 6 (see comparison of FIG and 5), so that the electrical conductor 3 can now enter the released interior of the mouth as a whole and find its position in the inner bottom region of the mouth of the C-shaped support body 1, 2 (FIG. 6). It is held here by the remaining clamping force of the upper arm 5a of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b acting on it with this clamping force, this clamping force is still supported by the elastic restoring force of the elastically articulated arm 4 which moves back into its starting position. The upper arm 5a, which clamps on the electrical conductor 3, also keeps, as can be seen from FIG. 6, the other lower arm 5b of the double arm bracket 5a, 5b pressed in its closed position on the lower mouth opening edge. Access is therefore reliably closed.
