Abstract

The device incorporates the use of metallic contact tabs (14) connected individually to the terminals (15) and slotted (21) for the insertion of electric wires from passages (23) through rotors (22). Associated with each rotor are two terminals, insulated from each other and each connected to two different tabs. The passages through the rotor extend into convoluted projections (30) cantilevered on opposite sides of its central core (31). The flanks (25) of each terminal themselves constitute the corresponding conductors (16) leading from the tabs to the slots.

Description

La présente invention concerne d'une manière générale les prises de branchement propres au raccordement d'un quelconque récepteur sur un quelconque réseau de transmission, et elle vise plus particulièrement, mais non nécessairement exclusivement, le cas des réseaux téléphoniques ou informatiques sur lesquels les courants véhiculés sont des courants faibles intervenant à très basse tension.The present invention relates generally connection plugs specific to the connection of a any receiver on any transmission network, and more specifically, but not necessarily, exclusively, the case of telephone networks or computers on which the currents conveyed are weak currents occurring at very low voltage.

Ainsi qu'on le sait, une telle prise de branchement comporte deux organes de branchement conjugués, à savoir, d'une part, un socle, qui est destiné à être assujetti à un quelconque support, par exemple un mur, et, d'autre part, une fiche, qui est propre à être embrochée dans ce socle, et qui est destinée, elle, à équiper le cordon du récepteur à raccorder.As we know, such a plug comprises two conjugated connection members, namely, of a hand, a pedestal, which is intended to be subject to a any support, for example a wall, and, on the other hand, a plug, which is suitable for being plugged into this base, and which is intended to equip the receiver cord to connected.

Globalement, un tel organe de branchement, qu'il s'agisse d'un socle ou d'une fiche, comporte, d'une part, pour coopération avec l'organe de branchement conjugué, des organes de contact, et d'autre part, dans un corps en matière isolante, des bornes de connexion, qui, chacune individuellement, sont reliées à ces organes de contact par des conducteurs électriques, et qui, chacune individuellement, sont destinées à recevoir l'un des fils électriques assurant la desserte de l'ensemble.Overall, such a connection device, that it be it a base or a plug, comprises, on the one hand, for cooperation with the conjugate branch, organs contact, and secondly, in a body of insulating material, connection terminals, which, each individually, are connected to these contact members by conductors electric, and which, each individually, are intended to receive one of the electrical wires providing service to all.

La présente invention vise plus particulièrement encore le cas où les bornes de connexion mises en oeuvre sont des bornes de connexion autodénudantes, c'est-à-dire des bornes de connexion assurant par elles-mêmes l'élimination locale de la gaine en matière isolante des fils électriques à raccorder lorsque ces fils électriques sont des fils électriques isolés.The present invention relates more particularly again the case where the connection terminals used are insulation displacement connection terminals, i.e. terminals of connection ensuring by themselves the local elimination of the sheath in insulating material of the electrical wires to be connected when these electrical wires are insulated electrical wires.

Cela est le cas, par exemple, dans le socle de branchement faisant l'objet du brevet français qui, déposé le 22 février 1993 sous le No 93 01984, a été publié sous le No 2 702 096.This is the case, for example, in the base of connection subject to the French patent which, filed on February 22, 1993 under No. 93 01984, was published under No 2 702 096.

Globalement, les bornes de connexion autodénudantes mises en oeuvre comportent chacune au moins un organe de connexion présentant une fente allongée circulairement autour d'un axe, avec, associé coaxialement à deux organes de connexion échelonnés circulairement autour d'un tel axe, un barillet, qui, monté rotatif autour de cet axe, est propre à forcer un fil électrique dans la fente de chacun des organes de connexion, ce barillet présentant, à cet effet, en correspondance avec la fente de chacun des organes de connexion, un passage propre à l'engagement d'un tel fil électrique.Overall, the insulation displacement connection terminals implemented each comprises at least one connection having a circularly elongated slot around an axis, with, associated coaxially with two organs of connection staggered circularly around such an axis, a barrel, which, rotatably mounted about this axis, is suitable for force an electric wire into the slot of each of the organs connection, this barrel having, for this purpose, in correspondence with the slit of each of the organs of connection, a clean passage to the engagement of such a wire electric.

En pratique, dans le brevet français No 93 01984 en question, les deux organes de connexion associés à un même barillet sont électriquement reliés l'un à l'autre, l'un d'eux permettant, comme indiqué ci-dessus, le raccordement d'un des fils électriques assurant la desserte de l'ensemble tandis que l'autre permet si désiré l'établissement à ce niveau d'un quelconque repiquage.In practice, in French patent No 93 01984 in question, the two connecting members associated with the same barrel are electrically connected to each other, one of them allowing, as indicated above, the connection of one of the electrical wires serving the whole while the other allows, if desired, the establishment of a any transplanting.

Il en résulte que chacun des barillets ne correspond par lui-même qu'à une seule borne de connexion, ou, autrement dit, qu'il y a autant de barillets que de bornes de connexion nécessaires.As a result, each of the barrels does not correspond by itself only to a single connection terminal, or, otherwise says that there are as many barrels as connection terminals required.

Cette disposition a donné et peut encore donner satisfaction.This provision has given and can still give satisfaction.

Mais, eu égard au relativement grand nombre de barillets à mettre en oeuvre, elle conduit à des réalisations relativement encombrantes et coûteuses.But, given the relatively large number of barrels to be used, it leads to realizations relatively bulky and expensive.

La présente invention a d'une manière générale pour objet une disposition permettant de réduire de manière sensible cet inconvénient et conduisant en outre à d'autres avantages.The present invention generally has for object a provision to significantly reduce this disadvantage and further leading to other advantages.

De manière plus précise, elle a pour objet un organe de branchement, socle ou fiche, pour réseau de transmission, du genre comportant, d'une part, pour coopération avec un organe de branchement conjugué, des organes de contact, et, d'autre part, dans un corps en matière isolante, des bornes de connexion qui sont chacune individuellement reliées aux organes de contact par des conducteurs électriques, et qui comportent chacune au moins un organe de connexion présentant une fente allongée circulairement autour d'un axe, avec, associé coaxialement à deux organes de connexion échelonnés circulairement autour d'un tel axe, un barillet qui, monté rotatif autour de cet axe, est propre à forcer un fil électrique dans la fente de chacun des organes de connexion, ce barillet présentant à cet effet, en correspondance avec la fente de chacun des organes de connexion, un passage propre à l'engagement d'un tel fil électrique, cet organe de branchement étant d'une manière générale caractérisé en ce que, pour l'un au moins des barillets mis en oeuvre, les deux organes de connexion associés à ce barillet sont isolés l'un de l'autre et sont chacun respectivement reliés à deux organes de contact différents, en sorte que ce barillet correspond par lui-même à deux bornes de connexion différentes.More specifically, it relates to an organ connection, base or plug, for transmission network, of the kind comprising, on the one hand, for cooperation with a conjugate connection member, contact members, and, on the other hand, in an insulating body, terminals of connection which are each individually connected to the organs of contact by electrical conductors, and which comprise each at least one connection member having a slot circularly elongated around an axis, with, associated coaxially with two staggered connecting members circularly around such an axis, a barrel which, mounted rotatable around this axis, is suitable for forcing a wire electrical in the slot of each of the connection members, this barrel presenting for this purpose, in correspondence with the slot of each of the connecting members, a clean passage to the engagement of such an electric wire, this connection member being generally characterized in that, for one at least barrels used, the two connection associated with this barrel are isolated from each other and are each respectively connected to two contact members different, so this barrel fits by itself at two different connection terminals.

Préférentiellement, il en est ainsi pour chacun des barillets.Preferably, this is the case for each of the barrels.

Ainsi, le nombre de barillets à mettre en oeuvre se trouve globalement réduit de moitié.Thus, the number of barrels to be used is overall found to be halved.

Il en résulte avantageusement une diminution notable de l'encombrement de l'ensemble, et/ou une plus grande facilité pour l'implantation des bornes de connexion, ainsi qu'une diminution sensible des coûts.This advantageously results in a significant reduction overall dimensions, and / or greater ease for the installation of connection terminals, as well as a significant reduction in costs.

Mais, pour un socle, il en résulte, également, une diminution appréciable des risques de paradiaphonie.But, for a base, this also results in a appreciable reduction in the risks of crosstalk.

En effet, s'agissant par exemple de l'équipement d'un réseau téléphonique, les deux fils électriques d'une même paire peuvent avantageusement être chacun respectivement raccordés à deux bornes de connexion très proches l'une de l'autre.Indeed, as regards for example the equipment of a telephone network, the two electrical wires of the same pair can advantageously be each respectively connected two connection terminals very close to each other.

Il suffit pour cela qu'ils soient chacun respectivement engagés dans les deux passages d'un même barillet.It is enough for them to be each respectively engaged in the two passages of the same barrel.

Ainsi, alors même que ces fils électriques sont initialement torsadés l'un à l'autre pour minimiser la diaphonie, le tronçon suivant lequel chacun doit être séparé de l'autre pour être raccordé à une borne de connexion a avantageusement, suivant l'invention, eu égard à la proximité des deux bornes de connexion concernées, une longueur réduite, et le risque d'un rétablissement local de cette diaphonie, alors communément appelée paradiaphonie, lié à cette séparation, est lui-même avantageusement réduit d'autant. So even as these electrical wires are initially twisted together to minimize the crosstalk, the section by which each must be separated on the other to be connected to a connection terminal a advantageously, according to the invention, having regard to the proximity of the two connection terminals concerned, a reduced length, and the risk of a local recovery of this crosstalk, then commonly called crosstalk, linked to this separation, is itself advantageously reduced by the same amount.

    • Les figures 1 à 14 concernent tout d'abord le cas où l'organe de branchement suivant l'invention est un socle de branchement 10.Figures 1 to 14 relate first of all to the case where the connection member according to the invention is a base of connection 10.

    Tel qu'illustré sur ces figures, ce socle de branchement 10 comporte, globalement, et de manière connue en soi, dans un corps 11 en matière isolante, d'une part, un alvéole 12, qui est propre à recevoir une fiche de branchement 13, partiellement schématisée en traits interrompus à la figure 3, et dans lequel interviennent, pour coopération avec l'organe de branchement conjugué que constitue cette fiche de branchement 13, des organes de contact 14, et, d'autre part, des bornes de connexion 15 qui, suivant des dispositions décrites plus en détail ultérieurement, sont chacune individuellement reliées aux organes de contact 14 par des conducteurs électriques 16.As illustrated in these figures, this base of connection 10 comprises, overall, and in a manner known in itself, in a body 11 made of insulating material, on the one hand, a alveolus 12, which is suitable for receiving a connection plug 13, partially shown in broken lines in the figure 3, and in which intervene, for cooperation with the body of combined connection that constitutes this sheet of connection 13, contact members 14, and, on the other hand, connection terminals 15 which, according to provisions described in more detail later, are each individually connected to the contact members 14 by electrical conductors 16.

    Ce socle de branchement 10 est destiné à l'équipement d'un réseau de transmission mettant en oeuvre des fils électriques 18.This connection base 10 is intended for the equipment of a transmission network using wires electric 18.

    Dans le cas, par exemple, d'un réseau téléphonique, ces fils électriques 18 sont usuellement torsadés deux à deux de manière à former des paires 19.In the case, for example, of a telephone network, these electrical wires 18 are usually twisted two by two so as to form pairs 19.

    Pour ne pas surcharger les dessins, seule l'une de ces paires 19 de fils électriques 18 est représentée sur la figure 1. To avoid overloading the drawings, only one of these 19 pairs of electrical wires 18 is shown in the figure 1.

    Par exemple, quatre paires 19 de fils électriques 18 sont prévues, avec, tel que représenté, un nombre double de bornes de connexion 15 et d'organes de contact 14, à raison d'une borne de connexion 15 et d'un organe de contact 14 par fil électrique 18.For example, four pairs 19 of electrical wires 18 are provided, with, as shown, a double number of connection terminals 15 and contact members 14, a connection terminal 15 and a contact member 14 by electric wire 18.

    En pratique, les fils électriques 18 sont des fils électriques isolés.In practice, the electrical wires 18 are wires electrical insulated.

    Par ailleurs, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les organes de contact 14 sont des languettes métalliques qui s'étendent légèrement en biais dans l'alvéole 12.Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, the contact members 14 are tongues metallic which extend slightly at an angle in the cell 12.

    Les dispositions qui précèdent sont bien connues par elles-mêmes, et elles ne seront donc pas décrites plus en détail ici.The foregoing provisions are well known by themselves, and therefore will not be described further in detail here.

    De manière également connue en soi, les bornes de connexion 15 sont des bornes de connexion autodénudantes.In a manner also known per se, the terminals of connection 15 are insulation displacement connection terminals.

    Plus précisément, il s'agit de bornes de connexion du type de celles décrites dans le brevet français qui, déposé le 9 novembre 1987 sous le No 87 15476, a été publié sous le No 2 623 024.More specifically, these are connection terminals of the type of those described in the French patent which, filed on November 9, 1987 under No. 87 15476, was published under No 2 623 024.

    Ces bornes de connexion 15 comportent, chacune, globalement, au moins un organe de connexion 20, présentant une fente 21 allongée circulairement autour d'un axe A, avec, associé coaxialement à deux organes de connexion 20 échelonnés circulairement autour d'un tel axe A, un barillet 22, qui, monté rotatif autour de l'axe A, est propre à forcer un fil électrique 18 dans la fente 21 de chacun des organes de connexion 20, ce barillet 22 présentant, à cet effet, en correspondance avec la fente 21 de chacun des organes de connexion 20, un passage 23 propre à l'engagement d'un tel fil électrique 18.These connection terminals 15 each include overall, at least one connection member 20, having a slot 21 circularly elongated around an axis A, with, coaxially associated with two staggered connection members 20 circularly around such an axis A, a barrel 22, which, rotatably mounted around axis A, suitable for forcing a wire electric 18 in the slot 21 of each of the connection 20, this barrel 22 having, for this purpose, in correspondence with the slot 21 of each of the organs of connection 20, a passage 23 suitable for engaging such a wire electric 18.

    Des axes A sont schématisés en traits interrompus sur les figures 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 et 12, et l'un d'eux est repéré par sa trace sur la figure 11.Axes A are shown in broken lines on Figures 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 and 12, and one of them is identified by its trace in figure 11.

    Suivant l'invention, pour l'un au moins des barillets 22 mis en oeuvre, les deux organes de connexion 20 associés à ce barillet 22 sont isolés l'un de l'autre et sont chacun respectivement reliés à deux organes de contact 14 différents, en sorte que ce barillet 22 correspond par lui-même à deux bornes de connexion 15 différentes.According to the invention, for at least one of the barrels 22 implemented, the two connection members 20 associated with this barrel 22 are isolated from each other and are each respectively connected to two different contact members 14, so that this barrel 22 corresponds by itself to two 15 different connection terminals.

    Préférentiellement, et tel que représenté, il en est ainsi pour chacun des barillets 22 mis en oeuvre.Preferably, and as shown, it is thus for each of the barrels 22 used.

    Autrement dit, pour huit bornes de connexion 15, il n'y a, suivant l'invention, que quatre barillets 22.In other words, for eight connection terminals 15, there according to the invention, there are only four barrels 22.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, et suivant des dispositions décrites dans le brevet français No 87 15476 mentionné ci-dessus, les deux organes de connexion 20 associés à un même barillet 22 sont plats, et ils s'étendent transversalement par rapport à l'axe A correspondant.In the embodiment shown, and according to of the provisions described in French patent No 87 15476 mentioned above, the two connection members 20 associated to the same barrel 22 are flat, and they extend transversely to the corresponding axis A.

    En pratique, ces deux organes de connexion 20 appartiennent chacun respectivement à deux flans 25 métalliques distincts qui forment, par eux-mêmes, d'un seul tenant, les conducteurs électriques 16 correspondants, et, en continuité avec ceux-ci, les organes de contact 14 concernés.In practice, these two connection members 20 each belong to two metal blanks 25 respectively separate forms which, by themselves, in one piece, corresponding electrical conductors 16, and, in continuity with these, the contact members 14 concerned.

    En pratique, également, les deux organes de connexion 20 associés à un même barillet 22 sont disposés en positions diamétralement opposées l'un par rapport à l'autre autour de l'axe A correspondant.In practice, too, the two connecting members 20 associated with the same barrel 22 are arranged in positions diametrically opposed to each other around the corresponding axis A.

    Tous les organes de connexion 20 sont globalement de même type.All the connection members 20 are generally same type.

    Ils comportent, pour la définition de leur fente 21, deux lèvres 26, 27, dont l'une, la lèvre 26 radialement la plus interne, s'étend globalement circulairement, à l'image de la fente 21, tandis que l'autre, la lèvre 27 radialement la plus externe, a un contour plus massif.They include, for the definition of their slot 21, two lips 26, 27, one of which, the most radially radiant lip 26 internal, extends generally circularly, like the slot 21, while the other, the lip 27 radially the most external, has a more massive outline.

    Préférentiellement, le débouché de la fente 21 des organes de connexion 20 va en s'évasant vers l'extérieur, pour y faciliter l'engagement d'un fil électrique 18.Preferably, the outlet of the slot 21 of the connection members 20 flares outward, to facilitate the engagement of an electric wire 18.

    Les divers barillets 22 mis en oeuvre sont tous identiques entre eux.The various barrels 22 used are all identical to each other.

    Ils comportent chacun une tête 28, qui est cylindrique, avec une section transversale circulaire, et qui, à la manière d'une tête de vis, présente, diamétralement, en surface, une saignée 29, pour faciliter la commande en rotation de l'ensemble.They each have a head 28, which is cylindrical, with a circular cross section, and which, in the manner of a screw head, present, diametrically, in surface, a groove 29, to facilitate rotation control from the whole.

    Cette tête 28 présente, en outre, en position excentrée, les deux passages 23 associés chacun respectivement aux deux organes de connexion 20 concernés.This head 28 also has in position eccentric, the two passages 23 each associated respectively to the two connection members 20 concerned.

    Comme ces organes de connexion 20, ces passages 23 sont disposés en positions diamétralement opposées l'un par rapport à l'autre, et, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, ils s'étendent parallèlement à l'axe A correspondant.Like these connection members 20, these passages 23 are arranged in diametrically opposite positions one by relation to each other, and, in the embodiment shown, they extend parallel to the axis A corresponding.

    Pour chacun des organes de connexion 20 qui leur sont associés, les barillets 22 comportent un bec de contournement 30, qui est disposé axialement à un niveau inférieur à celui de ces organes de connexion 20, de manière à intervenir en dessous d'un tel organe de connexion 20, et à la faveur duquel se prolonge le passage 23 correspondant.For each of the connection members 20 which are attached to them associated, the barrels 22 comprise a bypass spout 30, which is arranged axially at a level below that of these connection members 20, so as to intervene in below such a connection member 20, and by means of which extends the corresponding passage 23.

    Ainsi, les barillets 22 comportent chacun deux becs de contournement 30, qui, comme les organes de connexion 20 et les passages 23, sont disposés en positions diamétralement opposées l'un par rapport à l'autre.Thus, the barrels 22 each have two spouts of bypass 30, which, like the connection members 20 and the passages 23, are arranged in diametrically opposite positions relative to each other.

    En pratique, ces becs de contournement 30 s'étendent, radialement, en porte à faux, dos à dos, à compter d'un noyau central 31 qui s'étend, lui, axialement en saillie sur la surface inférieure de la tête 28 des barillets 22.In practice, these bypass spouts 30 extend, radially, cantilevered, back to back, from a core central 31 which extends axially projecting from the lower surface of the head 28 of the barrels 22.

    Les becs de contournement 30 sont chacun respectivement séparés de cette tête 28 par une fente 32, qui recoupe transversalement le passage 23 correspondant, et à la faveur de laquelle intervient l'organe de connexion 20 concerné.Bypass 30 are each respectively separated from this head 28 by a slot 32, which crosses the corresponding passage 23 transversely, and at the favor of which intervenes the connection member 20 concerned.

    Il résulte de ce qui précède que chacune des bornes de connexion 15 ne comporte, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, qu'un organe de connexion 20, et que ces bornes de connexion 15 sont associées par paires aux barillets 22.It follows from the above that each of the terminals of connection 15 only comprises, in the embodiment shown, that a connection member 20, and that these terminals 15 are associated in pairs with the barrels 22.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les flans 25 formant les divers organes de connexion 20 sont répartis en deux couches.In the embodiment shown, the blanks 25 forming the various connection members 20 are divided into two layers.

    Par exemple, et tel que représenté, entre ces deux couches est interposée, localement, à un endroit où les conducteurs électriques 16 se regroupent en faisceau pour former en continu les organes de contact 14, une plaquette en matière isolante 34.For example, and as shown, between these two layers is interposed locally at a place where the electrical conductors 16 group in a bundle for continuously form the contact members 14, a wafer insulating material 34.

    Cette plaquette en matière isolante 34, qui est relativement mince et plate, a, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, figures 2 et 12, un contour globalement quadrangulaire, et en pratique rectangulaire, et, bien entendu, elle est tout entière contenue dans le contour hors tout du corps 11.This insulating material plate 34, which is relatively thin and flat, a, in the embodiment shown, Figures 2 and 12, a generally outline quadrangular, and in practice rectangular, and, of course, it is entirely contained in the overall outline of the body 11.

    C'est, en pratique, au-delà de cette plaquette en matière isolante 34 que, pour s'étendre en oblique dans l'alvéole 12, les organes de contact 14 sont coudés par rapport aux flans 25 auxquels ils appartiennent, en formant globalement un dièdre avec ceux-ci.It is, in practice, beyond this brochure in insulating material 34 that, to extend obliquely in the socket 12, the contact members 14 are bent relative to to the blanks 25 to which they belong, forming overall a dihedral with these.

    Suivant une variante de réalisation non représentée, chaque flan 25 est au moins localement isolé, soit, par exemple, en étant recouvert, en certaines de ses parties, d'un vernis d'isolation, soit en étant surmoulé, dans certaines de ses parties, par de la matière synthétique isolante, et les flans 25 sont ensuite superposés ou assemblés.According to a variant embodiment not shown, each blank 25 is at least locally isolated, that is, by example, by being covered, in some of its parts, with a insulation varnish, either by being overmolded, in some of its parts, by insulating synthetic material, and blanks 25 are then superimposed or assembled.

    Par exemple, et tel que schématisé en traits interrompus sur les figures 13 et 14, les deux couches entre lesquelles se répartissent les flans 25 formant les divers organes de connexion 20 sont venues de découpe de deux bandes B1, B2 distinctes.For example, and as shown in lines interrupted in Figures 13 and 14, the two layers between which distribute the blanks 25 forming the various connection members 20 are cut from two strips B1, B2 separate.

    Pour faciliter la manipulation conjointe des flans 25 ainsi issus d'une même bande B1, B2, une partie sécable de celle-ci, commune à l'ensemble des flans 25 concernés, peut, temporairement, subsister, du côté, par exemple, des organes de contact 14 correspondants, et n'être qu'ultérieurement éliminée, après individualisation des flans 25.To facilitate joint handling of the blanks 25 thus from the same band B1, B2, a breakable part of this, common to all the blanks 25 concerned, can, temporarily, subsist, on the side, for example, of organs of contact 14 correspondents, and only be subsequently eliminated, after individualization of the blanks 25.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, le corps 11 du socle de branchement 10 suivant l'invention comporte deux parties 11A, 11B entre lesquelles sont disposés, à plat, les flans 25 formant les divers organes de connexion 20, à savoir, d'une part, une partie 11A qui reçoit les flans 25 et comporte latéralement l'alvéole 12, et, d'autre part, une partie 11B à la surface de laquelle les bornes de connexion 15 sont accessibles à l'usager.In the embodiment shown, the body 11 of the connection base 10 according to the invention comprises two parts 11A, 11B between which are arranged, flat, the blanks 25 forming the various connection members 20, namely, on the one hand, a part 11A which receives the blanks 25 and comprises laterally the cell 12, and, on the other hand, a part 11B to the surface of which the connection terminals 15 are accessible to the user.

    La partie 11A comporte, elle-même, d'une part, un plateau 35, auquel la partie 11B est superposée, et, flanquant latéralement ce plateau 35, le long d'un des bords de celui-ci, un dosseret 36, qui est de hauteur largement supérieure à celle du plateau 35, et à la faveur duquel est formé l'alvéole 12.Part 11A itself comprises, on the one hand, a plate 35, to which part 11B is superimposed, and, flanking laterally this plate 35, along one of the edges thereof, a backsplash 36, which is much greater in height than that of the plate 35, and thanks to which the cell 12 is formed.

    En pratique, le plateau 35 de la partie 11A et la partie 11B ont un même contour, et ce contour est rectangulaire.In practice, the plate 35 of the part 11A and the part 11B have the same outline, and this outline is rectangular.

    Les barillets 22 se trouvent librement confinés à rotation entre ce plateau 35 et cette partie 11B.The barrels 22 are freely confined to rotation between this plate 35 and this part 11B.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les bornes de connexion 15, et, donc, les barillets 22, sont accessibles à l'usager du côté de la partie 11B.In the embodiment shown, the terminals connection 15, and therefore the barrels 22 are accessible to the user on the side of part 11B.

    Plus précisément, dans cette forme de réalisation, la partie 11B du corps 11 comporte, en nombre égal aux barillets 22, des logements 37, dans lesquels la tête 28 de ces barillets 22 est montée rotative, en y étant contrebutée axialement par un épaulement transversal 38, et, conjointement, le plateau 35 de la partie 11A de ce corps 11 comporte, en correspondance, des logements 39, dans lesquels se débattent angulairement les becs de contournement 30 des barillets 22, en y étant contrebutés axialement par un épaulement 40.More specifically, in this embodiment, the part 11B of the body 11 comprises, in number equal to the barrels 22, housings 37, in which the head 28 of these barrels 22 is rotatably mounted, being axially abutted therein by a transverse shoulder 38, and, jointly, the plate 35 of part 11A of this body 11 comprises, in correspondence, housings 39, in which the angularly struggles bypass spouts 30 of barrels 22, being there axially buttressed by a shoulder 40.

    Par exemple, et tel que représenté, les logements 37 et les logements 39 s'étendent au sommet d'un carré.For example, and as shown, the housings 37 and the housings 39 extend at the top of a square.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, des saillies 41 sont prévues, axialement, en positions diamétralement opposées les unes par rapport aux autres, dans les logements 39, pour une limitation du débattement angulaire, dans un sens et dans l'autre, des barillets 22.In the embodiment shown, projections 41 are provided axially in diametrically positions opposite to each other, in housing 39, for a limitation of the angular movement, in one direction and in the other, barrels 22.

    En outre, dans cette forme de réalisation, l'une au moins des parties 11A, 11B constitutives du corps 11, et, en pratique, chacune de celles-ci, présente, en saillie, sur la surface par laquelle elle est affrontée à l'autre, des nervures 42A, 42B assurant le calage, et l'isolation, des flans 25 insérés entre elles. Furthermore, in this embodiment, one at less of the parts 11A, 11B constituting the body 11, and, in practical, each of these, projecting, on the surface by which it faces the other, ribs 42A, 42B securing, and insulating, the blanks 25 inserted between them.

    Pour la partie 11B, deux des nervures 42B assurent, également, à leurs extrémités, le calage, et le maintien, de la plaquette en matière isolante 34.For part 11B, two of the ribs 42B provide, also, at their ends, wedging, and maintaining, the insulating material plate 34.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les bornes de connexion 15, et, donc, les barillets 22, sont accessibles à l'usager du côté du corps 11 opposé à l'alvéole 12.In the embodiment shown, the terminals connection 15, and therefore the barrels 22 are accessible to the user on the side of the body 11 opposite the socket 12.

    Autrement dit, dans cette forme de réalisation, l'alvéole 12 débouche du côté de la face inférieure du plateau 35 de la partie 11A de ce corps 11.In other words, in this embodiment, the cell 12 opens on the side of the underside of the plate 35 of part 11A of this body 11.

    Mais, en variante, les bornes de connexion 15 peuvent tout aussi bien être accessibles à l'usager du côté de l'alvéole 12.However, as a variant, the connection terminals 15 can just as easily be accessible to the user on the side of the cell 12.

    Elles peuvent également être réparties d'un côté et de l'autre.They can also be distributed on one side and the other.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, enfin, les deux parties 11A, 11B constitutives du corps 11 sont solidarisées l'une à l'autre par simple encliquetage.In the embodiment shown, finally, the two parts 11A, 11B constituting the body 11 are secured to one another by simple snap-fastening.

    La partie 11B comporte, en saillie, pour ce faire, le long de celui de ses bords par lequel elle est au contact du dosseret 36 de la partie 11A, deux pattes élastiquement déformables 43, qui sont chacune conformées en crochet, et qui, au montage, sont chacune respectivement engagées dans deux rainures 44 ménagées à cet effet sur ce dosseret 36, jusqu'à venir en prise avec des crans 45 prévus dans ce but dans ces rainures 44.Part 11B includes, projecting, to do this, along that of its edges by which it is in contact with the backsplash 36 of part 11A, two legs elastically deformable 43, which are each shaped as a hook, and which, during assembly, are each respectively engaged in two grooves 44 made for this purpose on this backsplash 36, up to engage with notches 45 provided for this purpose in these grooves 44.

    Lors de ce montage, qui se fait par simple empilage de la partie 11A du corps 11, des flans 25, avec, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, entre les deux couches qu'ils forment, la plaquette en matière isolante 34, des barillets 22, avec une présentation en biais de ceux-ci entre les organes de connexion 20 qui leur sont associés, et de la partie 11B du corps 11, tel que schématisé par une flèche F1 sur la figure 2.During this assembly, which is done by simple stacking of the part 11A of the body 11, of the blanks 25, with, in the form shown, between the two layers they form, the insulating material plate 34, barrels 22, with a biased presentation of these between the organs of connection 20 associated with them, and part 11B of the body 11, as shown schematically by an arrow F1 in the figure 2.

    En variante, les deux parties 11A, 11B constitutives du corps 11 peuvent tout aussi bien être solidarisées l'une à l'autre par soudage, et/ou par sertissage. As a variant, the two constituent parts 11A, 11B of the body 11 can just as well be joined to one another the other by welding, and / or by crimping.

    En service, le socle de branchement 10 suivant l'invention est normalement assujetti, avant ou après son câblage, à un support, un mur par exemple, non représenté.In service, the following connection base 10 the invention is normally subject, before or after its wiring, to a support, a wall for example, not shown.

    Quoi qu'il en soit, au câblage, les deux fils électriques 18 d'une même paire 19 sont normalement engagés dans les deux passages 23 d'un même barillet 22, tel que représenté pour une telle paire 19 sur la figure 1.Anyway, at the wiring, the two wires 18 of the same pair 19 are normally engaged in the two passages 23 of the same barrel 22, such that represented for such a pair 19 in FIG. 1.

    Tel que schématisé par une flèche F2 sur la figure 11, ce barillet 22 est ensuite l'objet d'une rotation autour de l'axe A correspondant, dont il résulte que les deux fils électriques 18 en prise avec lui se trouvent contraints à s'engager chacun respectivement dans la fente 21 des deux organes de connexion 20 concernés, ce qui provoque le dénudage local de ces fils électriques 18, par un déplacement local de leur gaine en matière isolante.As shown by an arrow F2 in the figure 11, this barrel 22 is then rotated around of the corresponding axis A, from which it follows that the two wires electric 18 engaged with him are forced to each engage respectively in the slot 21 of the two connection members 20 concerned, which causes stripping of these electrical wires 18, by a local displacement of their sheath in insulating material.

    Par le contact ainsi établi avec les lèvres 26, 27 de la fente 21 dans laquelle ils sont engagés, les deux fils électriques 18 ainsi en prise avec un même barillet 22 se trouvent alors chacun respectivement reliés électriquement à deux conducteurs électriques 16 différents, et, donc, à deux organes de contact 14 qui, eux-mêmes distincts, correspondent chacun respectivement à deux bornes de connexion 15 différentes.By the contact thus established with the lips 26, 27 of the slot 21 in which they are engaged, the two wires electric 18 thus engaged with the same barrel 22 each then find each electrically connected to two different electrical conductors 16, and therefore two contact members 14 which, themselves distinct, correspond each respectively at two connection terminals 15 different.

    Les figures 15 à 17 concernent maintenant le cas où l'organe de branchement suivant l'invention est une fiche de branchement, et, par exemple, la fiche de branchement 13 constituant l'organe de branchement conjugué associé au socle de branchement 10 précédent.Figures 15 to 17 now relate to the case where the connection member according to the invention is a plug connection, and, for example, connection plug 13 constituting the conjugate connection member associated with the base of connection 10 previous.

    Comme le socle de branchement 10, cette fiche de branchement 13 comporte, globalement, et de manière connue en soi, d'une part, pour coopération avec l'organe de branchement conjugué que constitue le socle de branchement 10, des organes de contact 14', figure 16, et, d'autre part, dans un corps 11' en matière isolante, des bornes de connexion 15 qui sont chacune individuellement reliées aux organes de contact 14' par des conducteurs électriques 16'. Like the connection base 10, this plug connection 13 comprises, overall, and in a manner known in oneself, on the one hand, for cooperation with the connection body conjugate that constitutes the connection base 10, organs contact 14 ', Figure 16, and, on the other hand, in a body 11' in insulating material, connection terminals 15 which are each individually connected to the 14 'contact members by electrical conductors 16 '.

    Suivant des dispositions décrites plus en détail ultérieurement, les organes de contact 14' interviennent à la faveur d'un embout 50, qui fait saillie sur le corps 11', et par lequel la fiche de branchement 13 est apte à être embrochée dans le socle de branchement 10, et, plus précisément, dans l'alvéole 12 prévu à cet effet dans ce socle de branchement 10.According to arrangements described in more detail subsequently, the contact members 14 'intervene at the favor of a tip 50, which protrudes from the body 11 ', and by which the connection plug 13 is capable of being plugged in in the connection base 10, and, more precisely, in the cell 12 provided for this purpose in this connection base 10.

    Les bornes de connexion 15, qui, comme précédemment, sont au nombre de huit, sont identiques aux bornes de connexion 15 du socle de branchement 10.The connection terminals 15, which, as before, are eight in number, are identical to the connection terminals 15 of connection base 10.

    C'est pourquoi elles sont ici désignées par la même référence que ces dernières, et il en sera de même pour tous les éléments qui, du socle de branchement 10 à la fiche de branchement 13, sont identiques.This is why they are here designated by the same reference as these, and it will be the same for all the elements which, from the connection base 10 to the plug branch 13, are identical.

    Les bornes de connexion 15 de la fiche de branchement 13 comportent donc, chacune, comme précédemment, un organe de connexion 20 présentant une fente 21 allongée circulairement autour d'un axe A, avec, associé coaxialement à deux organes de connexion 20 échelonnés circulairement autour d'un tel axe A, en étant en pratique disposés en positions diamétralement opposées l'un par rapport à l'autre, un barillet 22, à passages 23 et becs de contournement 30, qui, monté rotatif autour de l'axe A, est propre à forcer un fil électrique 18' dans la fente 21 de chacun des deux organes de connexion 20 qu'il concerne.The connection terminals 15 of the connection plug 13 therefore each comprise, as before, a connection 20 having a circularly elongated slot 21 around an axis A, with, associated coaxially with two organs connection 20 staggered circularly around such an axis A, being in practice arranged in diametrically positions opposite to each other, a barrel 22, with passages 23 and bypass spouts 30, which, rotatably mounted around axis A, is suitable for forcing an electric wire 18 'in the slot 21 of each of the two connection members 20 which it concerned.

    Suivant l'invention, et comme précédemment, pour l'un au moins des barillets 22 mis en oeuvre, et, en pratique, pour chacun de ceux-ci, les deux organes de connexion 20 associés à ce barillet 22 sont isolés l'un de l'autre et sont chacun respectivement reliés à deux organes de contact 14' différents, en sorte que ce barillet 22 correspond par lui-même à deux bornes de connexion 15 différentes.According to the invention, and as before, for one at least barrels 22 used, and, in practice, for each of these, the two connection members 20 associated to this barrel 22 are isolated from each other and are each respectively connected to two different contact members 14 ′, so that this barrel 22 corresponds by itself to two 15 different connection terminals.

    Pour les huit bornes de connexion 15 de la fiche de branchement 13, il n'y a, donc, comme précédemment, que quatre barillets 22.For the eight connection terminals 15 of the plug branch 13, there are, therefore, as before, only four barrels 22.

    Comme précédemment, également, les deux organes de connexion 20 associés à un même barillet 22 sont plats, et ils s'étendent transversalement par rapport à l'axe A correspondant, en appartenant chacun respectivement à deux flans 25 métalliques formant conjointement, par eux-mêmes, d'un seul tenant, les conducteurs électriques 16' correspondants.As before, also, the two organs of connection 20 associated with the same barrel 22 are flat, and they extend transversely to axis A corresponding, each belonging to two respectively metal blanks 25 jointly forming, by themselves, a in one piece, the corresponding electrical conductors 16 '.

    S'agissant d'une fiche de branchement 13, les flans 25 formant les divers organes de connexion 20 s'étendent, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, de manière coplanaire, en une seule couche.As a connection plug 13, the blanks 25 forming the various connection members 20 extend, in the embodiment shown coplanarly in one single layer.

    Mais, comme précédemment, ils peuvent, en variante, être disposés en deux couches, et/ou être superposés ou assemblés, l'un au moins d'entre eux étant alors au moins localement isolé en conséquence.But, as before, they can, alternatively, be arranged in two layers, and / or be superimposed or assembled, at least one of them then being at least locally isolated accordingly.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les organes de contact 14' sont chacun formés par une déformation locale, globalement en U, de l'extrémité du conducteur électrique 16' correspondant, figures 16 et 17.In the embodiment shown, the organs contact 14 ′ are each formed by a local deformation, generally U-shaped, from the end of the electrical conductor 16 ' corresponding, Figures 16 and 17.

    Comme précédemment, également, le corps 11 de la fiche de branchement 13 comporte, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, deux parties 11'A, 11'B entre lesquelles sont disposés, à plat, les flans 25 formant les divers organes de connexion 20, à savoir, d'une part, une partie 11'A, qui, par un plateau 35', forme une semelle, et à laquelle est attenant, latéralement, d'un seul tenant, l'embout 50, et, d'autre part, une partie 11'B, qui forme capot, et à la surface de laquelle les bornes de connexion 15 sont accessibles à l'usager.As before, also, the body 11 of the plug connection 13 comprises, in the embodiment shown, two parts 11'A, 11'B between which are arranged, flat, the blanks 25 forming the various organs of connection 20, namely, on the one hand, a part 11'A, which, by a plate 35 ', forms a sole, and to which is attached, laterally, in one piece, the end piece 50, and, on the other hand, a portion 11'B, which forms a cover, and on the surface of which the connection terminals 15 are accessible to the user.

    Pour recevoir, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les flans 25, le plateau 35' de la partie 11'A comporte, en décrochement par rapport à la surface par laquelle cette partie 11'A est affrontée à la partie 11'B, des logements 54, et, suivant des dispositions du même type que les précédentes, les barillets 22 se trouvent librement confinés à rotation entre ce plateau 35' et la partie 11'B.To receive, in the embodiment shown, the blanks 25, the plate 35 'of the part 11'A comprises, in step with respect to the surface through which this part 11'A is faced with part 11'B, housing 54, and, according to provisions of the same type as the previous, the barrels 22 are freely confined in rotation between this plate 35 'and the part 11'B.

    Comme précédemment, les logements 37' prévus à cet effet dans le plateau 35' de la partie 11'A pour recevoir les barillets 22 et ceux 39' prévus en correspondance dans la partie 11'B s'étendent au sommet d'un carré.As before, the housings 37 'provided for this effect in tray 35 'of part 11'A to receive the barrels 22 and those 39 'provided correspondingly in the part 11'B extend to the top of a square.

    L'embout 50 forme intérieurement un logement 55 dans lequel s'engagent les conducteurs électriques 16', et qui, au droit des organes de contact 14' portés par ceux-ci, débouche à l'extérieur par des fentes 56, à raison d'une fente 56 par organe de contact 14', pour rendre accessibles ces organes de contact 14' aux organes de contact 14 de l'organe de branchement conjugué que constitue le socle de branchement 10.The end piece 50 internally forms a housing 55 in which engage the electrical conductors 16 ', and which, at right of the contact members 14 'carried by them, opens outside by slots 56, at the rate of a slot 56 by contact member 14 ', to make these members accessible contact 14 'to the contact members 14 of the contact member conjugate connection that constitutes the connection base 10.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les fentes 56 ouvrent du côté du corps 11 sur lequel s'étend la partie 11'B de celui-ci.In the embodiment shown, the slots 56 open on the side of the body 11 on which the part extends 11'B of it.

    Autrement dit, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les bornes de connexion 15 de la fiche de branchement 13 sont accessibles à l'usager du côté de ce corps 11 sur lequel les organes de contact 14' sont eux-mêmes accessibles aux organes de contact 14 de l'organe de branchement conjugué que constitue le socle de branchement 10.In other words, in the embodiment shown, the connection terminals 15 of the plug connection 13 are accessible to the user from the side of this body 11 on which the contact members 14 'are themselves accessible to the contact members 14 of the conjugate connection that constitutes the connection base 10.

    Mais, comme précédemment, ces bornes de connexion 15 peuvent être accessibles à l'usager du côté opposé du corps 11, ou être réparties d'un côté et de l'autre de celui-ci.But, as before, these connection terminals 15 can be accessible to the user on the opposite side of the body 11, or be distributed on one side and the other of it.

    Comme précédemment, enfin, les deux parties 11'A, 11'B constitutives du corps 11' peuvent être solidarisées l'une à l'autre par simple encliquetage, et/ou par soudage, et, par exemple, par soudage aux ultrasons, et/ou par sertissage.As before, finally, the two parts 11'A, 11'B constitutive of the body 11 ′ can be secured one to the other by simple snap-fastening, and / or by welding, and, by example, by ultrasonic welding, and / or crimping.

    Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, le logement 55 que forme l'embout est ouvert par une échancrure 58 du côté des fentes 56, et, pour sa fermeture, la partie 11'B porte, en correspondance, en saillie, un auvent 59.In the embodiment shown, the housing 55 formed by the tip is opened by a notch 58 on the side slots 56, and, for its closure, the part 11'B carries, in correspondence, projecting, awning 59.

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

    En particulier, il peut être prévu, si désiré, sur un organe de branchement suivant l'invention, une quelconque borne de connexion supplémentaire propre à un raccordement de cet organe de branchement à la terre, et il peut s'agir par exemple d'une borne de connexion autodénudante du type de celle décrite et représentée ou d'une simple borne de connexion à vis classique.In particular, it can be provided, if desired, on a connection member according to the invention, any terminal additional connection specific to a connection of this earthing device, and it can be for example an insulation displacement connection terminal of the type described and shown or a simple screw connection terminal classic.

    Dans le cas où il s'agit d'une borne de connexion autodénudante, il peut n'être associé au barillet correspondant qu'un seul organe de connexion.In the case where it is a connection terminal insulation displacement, it may not be associated with the corresponding barrel only one connecting member.

    Par ailleurs, les conducteurs électriques intervenant entre les organes de connexion et les organes de contact peuvent, si désiré, être mis à profit pour créer localement des éléments de compensation, et, notamment, des éléments capacitifs, de nature à permettre de réduire la paradiaphonie.Furthermore, the electrical conductors involved between the connection members and the contact members can, if desired, be used to locally create elements of compensation, and, in particular, elements capacitive, likely to reduce crosstalk.

    Leur trajet n'est donc pas forcément celui représenté.Their journey is therefore not necessarily that shown.

    En outre, si désiré, les barillets mis en oeuvre peuvent être munis de repères, pour les identifier.In addition, if desired, the barrels used may be provided with markers to identify them.

    Par exemple, chacun d'eux peut être coloré de deux couleurs différentes, pour un total de huit couleurs correspondant aux codes en vigueur en la matière.For example, each of them can be colored with two different colors, for a total of eight colors corresponding to the codes in force on the subject.

    D'autre part, pour une prise ne comportant que quatre contacts, la fiche peut par exemple ne comporter que deux barillets, suivant l'invention, à raison d'un barillet pour deux contacts, mais le socle peut corollairement comporter de manière classique un barillet par contact, si désiré, pour permettre d'effectuer des repiquages.On the other hand, for a socket with only four contacts, the file can for example have only two barrels, according to the invention, at the rate of a barrel for two contacts, but the base may as a corollary include in a conventional manner, a contact barrel, if desired, to allow transplanting.

    Enfin, qu'il s'agisse d'un socle ou d'une fiche, l'organe de branchement suivant l'invention peut, si désiré, être au moins partiellement métallisé, afin de répondre, par exemple, à des exigences de blindage.Finally, whether it's a base or a plug, the branch member according to the invention can, if desired, be at least partially metallized, in order to respond, by for example, shielding requirements.
