Le document FR-A-2.609.209 décrit un interrupteur différentiel bipolaire à indicateur de défaut qui comporte un mécanisme de commande à manette et à déclencheur différentiel comprenant un transformateur totalisateur et un relais de déclenchement coopérant au moyen d'une barre de déclenchement avec le verrou principal du mécanisme, et avec un verrou de signalisation d'un levier indicateur de défaut. Le réarmement automatique du relais s'opère par un levier de réarmement monté à pivotement limité sur l'axe du levier indicateur. Une saillie de la plaque d'entraînement des contacts mobiles provoque, pendant la course de fermeture de la manette, le déplacement du levier de réarmement vers une position de neutralisation, et le passage du levier indicateur vers une position inactive.The document FR-A-2.609.209 describes a bipolar differential switch with fault indicator which comprises a control mechanism with lever and differential trigger comprising a totalizing transformer and a trigger relay cooperating by means of a trigger bar with the main lock of the mechanism, and with a signaling lock of a fault indicator lever. The automatic reset of the relay is effected by a reset lever mounted with limited pivoting on the axis of the indicator lever. A protrusion of the movable contact drive plate causes the reset lever to move to the neutralization position during the closing stroke of the lever and the indicator lever to move to an inactive position.

Tous les fabricants de ces interrupteurs cherchent, par tous les moyens, à diminuer au maximum le coût de fabrication de ce type d'interrupteur, qui sont généralement formés de deux pôles possédant un contact fixe et un contact mobile qui, selon la position de l'interrupteur, ferment ou ouvrent le circuit électrique.All the manufacturers of these switches seek, by all means, to minimize the manufacturing cost of this type of switch, which are generally formed of two poles having a fixed contact and a movable contact which, depending on the position of the 'switch, close or open the electrical circuit.

La raison essentielle pour laquelle ces interrupteurs sont chers, réside dans le fait qu'à la sortie de l'interrupteur, on soude classiquement, sur chaque contact fixe ou mobile, selon les cas, un conducteur souple, qui apportera le courant électrique à chaque borne formant une prise de courant.The essential reason for which these switches are expensive, resides in the fact that at the exit of the switch, one welds conventionally, on each fixed or mobile contact, according to the cases, a flexible conductor, which will bring the electric current to terminal forming an outlet.

L'objet principal de l'invention est de proposer un interrupteur bipolaire à boîtier isolant du type comprenant deux pôles formés chacun d'un contact mobile et d'un contact fixe, chaque pôle étant relié à plusieurs bornes montées en série par l'intermédiaire d'un conducteur, chacune des bornes d'un des pôles formant, avec une des bornes de l'autre pôle, une prise de courant, caractérisé par le fait que chaque conducteur constitue un des contacts fixes de l'interrupteur bipolaire de sorte que lors de la fabrication dudit interrupteur bipolaire, la liaison entre ledit interrupteur et les prises de courant électrique se fait par simple mise en place de l'interrupteur dans le boîtier.The main object of the invention is to provide a bipolar switch with insulating housing of the type comprising two poles each formed by a movable contact and a fixed contact, each pole being connected to several terminals connected in series by means of of a conductor, each of the terminals of one of the poles forming, with one of the terminals of the other pole, a socket current, characterized in that each conductor constitutes one of the fixed contacts of the bipolar switch so that during the manufacture of said bipolar switch, the connection between said switch and the electrical outlets is made by simply placing the switch in the housing.

Pour aboutir à ce résultat, l'interrupteur bipolaire possède une structure spéciale qui est un autre objet de la présente invention, ainsi l'interrupteur bipolaire comporte un ou deux logements de forme susceptible de recevoir les deux conducteurs, de sorte que chaque conducteur formant un contact fixe est adjacent d'un contact mobile.To achieve this result, the bipolar switch has a special structure which is another object of the present invention, thus the bipolar switch comprises one or two shaped housings capable of receiving the two conductors, so that each conductor forming a fixed contact is adjacent to a movable contact.

Selon la figure 1, le courant électrique arrive à l'interrupteur bipolaire 1, par les deux fils électriques qui se trouvent en haut à gauche du schéma. Cette alimentation se fait par une prise de courant électrique classique.According to FIG. 1, the electric current arrives at the bipolar switch 1, by the two electric wires which are located at the top left of the diagram. This power is supplied by a conventional electrical outlet.

Chacun des deux fils électriques aboutit à un pôle 3, qui est formé par un contact mobile 4 pouvant basculer vers un contact fixe 5, afin de fermer le cicuit électrique, ou bien s'éloigner du contact fixe 5, afin d'ouvrir le circuit électrique.Each of the two electric wires ends in a pole 3, which is formed by a movable contact 4 which can switch to a fixed contact 5, in order to close the electric circuit, or else move away from the fixed contact 5, in order to open the circuit. electric.

Chaque contact fixe 5 se prolonge par un conducteur rigide 8, puis par un conducteur souple 9.Each fixed contact 5 is extended by a rigid conductor 8, then by a flexible conductor 9.

Les deux conducteurs 8 et 9 alimentent en série des bornes 6.The two conductors 8 and 9 supply terminals 6 in series.

Chaque borne 6 est adjacente d'une autre borne 6 reliée à l'autre contact fixe 5 par l'intermédiaire du conducteur rigide 8 ou des conducteurs rigide 8 et souple 9, de sorte que toutes les bornes 6 adjacentes forment une prise de courant électrique 7.Each terminal 6 is adjacent to another terminal 6 connected to the other fixed contact 5 via the rigid conductor 8 or the rigid 8 and flexible conductors 9, so that all of the adjacent terminals 6 form an electrical outlet 7.

Chaque conducteur formant le contact fixe est constitué par une languette métallique rigide.Each conductor forming the fixed contact consists of a rigid metal tab.

L'ensemble des éléments électriques est regroupé à l'intérieur d'un boîtier isolant 2.All the electrical elements are grouped together inside an insulating box 2.

Dans cette configuration, chaque conducteur souple 9 ne sert qu'à l'exécution d'un pont électrique entre deux conducteurs rigides 8.In this configuration, each flexible conductor 9 is used only for the execution of an electrical bridge between two rigid conductors 8.

Dans ces deux premières figures, un fil électrique placé entre la partie terminale de deux conducteurs souples 9 ou rigides 8, sert de prise de terre.In these first two figures, an electric wire placed between the end part of two flexible 9 or rigid 8 conductors, serves as an earth connection.

La figure 3 montre l'interrupteur bipolaire 1 lorsque les contacts mobile 4 et fixe 5 sont éloignés, le cicuit électrique est donc ouvert, le courant électrique ne passe pas.FIG. 3 shows the bipolar switch 1 when the movable 4 and fixed 5 contacts are distant, the electric circuit is therefore open, the electric current does not pass.

Ces contacts 4 et 5 sont placés dans un logement 10.These contacts 4 and 5 are placed in a housing 10.

Le contact fixe 5 est centré par rapport à l'interrupteur 1 grâce à un ergot de contrage 13, ledit contact fixe 5 se prolonge et forme, à l'extérieur de l'interrupteur 1, le conducteur rigide 8.The fixed contact 5 is centered relative to the switch 1 by virtue of a counter-pin 13, said fixed contact 5 extends and forms, outside the switch 1, the rigid conductor 8.

Chaque contact fixe 5 ou mobile 4 possède une pastille de contact 11.Each fixed contact 5 or mobile contact 4 has a contact pad 11.

La figure 4 montre l'interrupteur bipolaire 1 lorsque les contacts mobile 4 et fixe 5 se touchent, fermant ainsi le circuit électrique, ce qui permet le passage du courant électrique.Figure 4 shows the bipolar switch 1 when the movable 4 and fixed 5 contacts touch, thus closing the electrical circuit, which allows the passage of electric current.

Le logement 10 a une taille suffisamment importante pour permettre à au moins un pôle de fonctionner.The housing 10 has a size large enough to allow at least one pole to function.

Le contact fixe 5 reste, bien entendu, centré par rapport à l'interrupteur 1 par l'intermédiaire de l'ergot de centrage 13.The fixed contact 5 remains, of course, centered relative to the switch 1 by means of the centering lug 13.

La figure 5 montre un détail du conducteur rigide 8 et plus exactement de son extrémité servant de contact fixe 5.FIG. 5 shows a detail of the rigid conductor 8 and more precisely of its end serving as a fixed contact 5.

Outre la pastille de contact 11, déjà vue sur les deux figures précédentes, chaque contact fixe 5 possède un trou de centrage 12 qui coopère avec l'ergot de centrage 13, non représenté sur cette figure, placé dans le logement 10, afin de positionner le contact fixe 5 par rapport au contact mobile 4.In addition to the contact pad 11, already seen in the two preceding figures, each fixed contact 5 has a centering hole 12 which cooperates with the centering lug 13, not shown in this figure, placed in the housing 10, in order to position the fixed contact 5 relative to the movable contact 4.
