Definitions
- the invention relates to a screwless spring clip with a clamping bracket which is braced against a conductor rail by a spring which can be triggered by an actuating element, in particular for installation in an insulating housing.
- the terminal is supplied in the open state so that the fitter does not have to open the terminal to insert a conductor, but it is sufficient to insert the conductor and then release the spring via a release link so that it can pull the clamping bracket into the clamping position while clamping the conductor.
- the delivery of the screwless clamp in the open state requires that the clamping spring has to be strongly pretensioned against its clamping force and is stored in this condition in the warehouse of the manufacturer, wholesaler or user.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a screwless spring clamp so that it can be delivered in the open position without having to pretension the clamping spring.
- the spring is designed and arranged such that it is brought into the tensioned position by the actuating member and is locked there with the clamping bracket, preferably in the manner that the spring is a leaf spring fastened with a leg on the busbar, the free leg of which can be hooked into the clamping bracket.
- the clamp can be delivered open - since the spring is not yet connected to the clamping bracket and therefore does not pull it into the closed position - the keeping open in a known manner either by a clamping friction of the rail in the the opening of the clamping bracket forming the clamping space or can be achieved by corresponding latching cams on the clamping bracket, which counteract an automatic smooth displacement of the clamping bracket on the busbar, the spring force of the clamping spring then being dimensioned in such a way that it can easily cancel this slight latching .
- the spring is in a relaxed position before the clamp is used for the first time, so that a relaxation, as with the preloaded screwless clamps, cannot take place either.
- Two spaced-apart clamping points for a conductor-forming clamping bracket are provided, the hooking ends of which, on the side remote from the contact side for the conductor, lie bent against one another and lie essentially in one plane.
- the hooking ends can be connected to one another with aligned openings, preferably in such a way that the two clamping brackets represent a common sheet-metal bent part, wherein, if necessary, the busbar between the clamping brackets on the hooking ends opposite side can be provided with a contact expression.
- 1 denotes a busbar which is encompassed by a clamping bracket 2, which can be pulled upwards by a leaf spring 3, so that an opening 4 encompassing the busbar 1 Clamping bracket inserted conductor 5 is pressed against the bottom of the busbar 1 in contact.
- the leaf spring 3 is designed and arranged with its lower fastening leg 6 on the busbar 1 so that when the free leg 7 is pressed down with the aid of an actuating element, for example a screwdriver or an actuating button in the terminal housing, the spring is in the tensioned position a transverse opening 8 of the clamping bracket 2 hangs in and thus immediately pulls the clamping bracket upwards into the clamping position when the actuating member is released.
- the end of the free leg 7 slides when pressed down first on the upper edge 9 of the above, ie on the side of the conductor rail 5 remote from the hooking end 10 of the clamping bracket and slides down on the side until the opening 8 is reached, whereupon the end hooks into this opening immediately.
- two clamping brackets 2 ' are provided in the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the upper actuating ends of which are bent towards one another and connected to one another, so that their openings 10 are aligned with one another.
- two really separate clamping brackets 2 '- which would of course be possible - are subsequently connected to one another, for example soldered or the like. Rather, the two clamping brackets 2' are parts of a common bent sheet metal part.
- the two clamping points arranged one behind the other also prevent a single-wire conductor, in particular, from being pivoted about the clamping point as an axis so that it can be rotated easily and the conductor being moved in the clamping point.
- the busbar 1 is provided between the two clamping brackets 2 'with a contact expression 11 directed downwards, i.e. towards the side of the conductor insertion, which ensures that both are present even with an irregularly thick conductor or a tilted conductor can come into contact (edge 12 of the opening 4).
- Such reliable contacting of the two contact brackets 2 ′′ is given in the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 5 to 7 in that the two clamping brackets are completely separate from one another and act independently of one another Parts are, the upper hook ends 10 are narrowed so that they can be arranged side by side in the same plane and their openings 8 can each receive one of the fork ends 13 of the fork-shaped free leg 7 of the leaf spring 3.
- FIG. 8 shows an electrical terminal block for mounting on carrier rails, in which two screwless spring terminals according to the invention according to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 are installed in an insulating housing 14.
