Description

La présente invention se rapporte à une prise femelle murale de type « Modular Jack », typiquement une prise murale recevant des paires téléphoniques ou informatiques contenues dans un câble d'amenée, et dans laquelle l'utilisateur va enficher, pour ses besoins de téléphonie ou d'informatique par exemple, une fiche mâle complémentaire de type « Modular Jack ».The present invention relates to a female wall socket of the type "Modular Jack", typically a wall outlet for receiving telephone pairs or computer contained in a supply cable, and in which the user will plug in, for its telephony or IT needs for example, a "Modular Jack" type complementary male plug.

La difficulté avec les prises connues réside dans le fait qu'elles ne tiennent pas compte des impératifs de rayon de courbure du câble d'amenée qui se raccorde à l'arrière de la prise.The difficulty with known sockets lies in the fact that they do not do not take into account the requirements for the radius of curvature of the supply cable which connects to the back of the socket.

La figure 1 jointe montre, pour la clarté de l'exposé, toutes les possibilités existantes pour l'acheminement du câble d'amenée sur une prise murale 1 de type connu. On y voit que cette prise 1 peut être alimentée par un câble qui est acheminé soit dans des goulottes en saillie 2, 3 d'où il peut arriver par la droite, ou par la gauche, soit par l'arrière dans des goulottes encastrées 4, 5, soit par le haut dans une colonne 6, soit par le bas dans un potelet 6A.Figure 1 attached shows, for the sake of clarity, all existing possibilities for routing the supply cable to an outlet mural 1 of known type. We see that this socket 1 can be powered by a cable which is routed either in protruding troughs 2, 3 where it can arrive from the right, or from the left, either from the rear in built-in chutes 4, 5, either from the top in a column 6, or from the bottom in a post 6A.

Il ne faut par risquer, à l'endroit du raccordement du câble sur l'arrière de la prise 1, de casser ce câble ou au minimum de déchirer son écran. Il existe pour ceci une norme qui dit qu'en conséquence le rayon de courbure donné au câble dans un coude ne doit jamais être inférieur à 8 fois le diamètre externe de ce câble.Do not risk at the place of the cable connection on the back from socket 1, break this cable or at least tear its screen. It exists for this a standard which says that consequently the radius of curvature given to the cable in an elbow should never be less than 8 times the external diameter of this cable.

Il faut en outre tenir compte de la profondeur de la goulotte d'amenée. Pour une classique goulotte d'une profondeur de 40 mm, le rayon de courbure du câble ne peut finalement pas être inférieur à 30 mm.The depth of the feed chute must also be taken into account. For a classic chute with a depth of 40 mm, the radius of curvature of the cable cannot ultimately be less than 30 mm.

Bien entendu, on peut plier les fils qui sortent de l'extrémité du câble, et que l'on raccorde aux contacts autodénudants (ou « contacts à déplacement d'isolant » dits « I.D.C. ») que l'on trouve, généralement alignés sur deux rangs parallèles à l'arrière de la prise. S'il est à la limite acceptable de plier ces fils à 90 degrés, en revanche il n'est pas acceptable de les plier à plus de 90 degrés, et encore moins donc à 180 degrés. Of course, you can bend the wires coming out of the end of the cable, and that is connected to the insulation displacement contacts (or "displacement contacts insulation ”called“ I.D.C. ") That we find, generally aligned in two rows parallel to the back of the socket. If it is acceptable to bend these wires to 90 degrees, however it is not acceptable to bend them more than 90 degrees, and even less so at 180 degrees.

Il s'ensuit qu'avec ces dispositifs connus, il est impossible de raccorder sur la prise 1 des câbles arrivant dans des directions diamétralement opposées, de sorte qu'on est finalement obligé d'adapter l'installation en conséquence ce qui restreint énormément la latitude de conception d'une telle installation.It follows that with these known devices, it is impossible to connect the cables arriving in diametrically directions to socket 1 opposite, so that we are finally forced to adapt the installation consequence which greatly limits the latitude of conception of such a installation.

L'invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient. Elle se rapporte à cet effet à une prise femelle murale de type « Modular Jack » dont la partie arrière est équipée de contacts autodénudants, ou « I.D.C. », tous dirigés dans le même sens et destinés à recevoir chacun un des brins de ligne contenus dans un câble d'amenée, un poussoir de connexion séparé étant prévu pour recevoir chacun de ces brins et s'enficher ensuite à l'arrière de la prise en venant alors, dans ce mouvement d'enfichage, pousser chaque brin dans son I.D.C. respectif,
   cette prise étant caractérisée :

  • en ce qu'elle est équipée de deux mâchoires de réception de ce poussoir de connexion, ces deux mâchoires étant agencées pour, dans leur mouvement de fermeture, saisir l'arrière, conformé en conséquence, de ce poussoir et le rapprocher progressivement, par effet de levier, de sa position de complet enfichage sur l'arrière de la prise,
  • et en ce que ce poussoir de connexion a une forme totalement symétrique lui permettant de recevoir ces brins de ligne soit d'un côté soit de l'autre et parallèlement au plan commun des branches d'extrémité libre des deux mâchoires lorsque celles-ci sont en état de fermeture.
The invention aims to remedy this drawback. It relates to this effect to a female wall socket of the “Modular Jack” type, the rear part of which is fitted with insulation-displacement contacts, or “IDCs”, all directed in the same direction and intended to each receive one of the strands of line contained in a supply cable, a separate connection pusher being provided for receiving each of these strands and then plugging in at the rear of the socket, then coming, in this plugging movement, pushing each strand into its respective IDC,
this plug being characterized:
  • in that it is equipped with two jaws for receiving this connection pusher, these two jaws being arranged to, in their closing movement, grasp the rear, shaped accordingly, of this pusher and gradually bring it closer, by effect lever, from its fully plugged in position on the rear of the socket,
  • and in that this connection pusher has a completely symmetrical shape allowing it to receive these strands of line either on one side or the other and parallel to the common plane of the free end branches of the two jaws when these are in closed condition.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise, et ses avantages et autres caractéristiques ressortiront mieux, lors de la description suivante d'un cxemple non limitatif de réalisation, en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel :

  • Figure 2 est une vue en perspective de l'arrière de la prise, mâchoires ouvertes et poussoir de connexion séparé mais déjà équipé des brins de ligne du câble d'amenée.
  • Figure 3 est une coupe longitudinale du poussoir de connexion de Figure 2, montrant la mise en place d'un brin de ligne.
  • Figure 4 est une vue selon la direction F de Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 est une vue en perspective, avec les mâchoires en cours de fermeture sur l'arrière du poussoir de connexion.
  • Figure 6 est une vue de dessus correspondant à la position selon Figure 5.
  • Figures 7 et 8 sont des vues respectivement semblables à Figures 5 et 6, avec les mâchoires totalement fermées et donc le poussoir de connexion en fin de course.
  • Figure 9 est une coupe longitudinale partielle de la prise dans sa position de fermeture complète des mâchoires. selon Figure 7.
In any case, the invention will be clearly understood, and its advantages and other characteristics will emerge more clearly from the following description of a non-limiting example of embodiment, with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which:
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the rear of the socket, jaws open and separate connection pusher but already equipped with line strands of the supply cable.
  • Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of the connection pusher of Figure 2, showing the establishment of a line strand.
  • Figure 4 is a view in the direction F of Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view, with the jaws being closed on the back of the connection pusher.
  • Figure 6 is a top view corresponding to the position according to Figure 5.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are views respectively similar to Figures 5 and 6, with the jaws fully closed and therefore the connection pusher at the end of the stroke.
  • Figure 9 is a partial longitudinal section of the socket in its fully closed position of the jaws. according to Figure 7.

En se reportant tout d'abord à l'ensemble des figures 2 à 4, la partie arrière de cette prise téléphonique, ou informatique, murale est classiquement équipée de deux rangées parallèles de chacune quatre contacts autodénudants 7, aussi appelés « contacts à déplacement d'isolant », ou, selon un langage international maintenant bien adopté, « I.D.C. ».Referring first to all of Figures 2 to 4, the part back of this telephone or computer wall outlet is conventionally equipped with two parallel rows of each four insulation displacement contacts 7, also called "insulation displacement contacts", or, according to a language international now well adopted, "I.D.C. "

Comme représenté, ces huit contacts IDC 7 dont tous orientés dans la même direction, parallèlement à l'axe de la prise et vers l'arrière de celle-ci. Chacun de ces IDC 7 est destiné à recevoir un des brins d'un câble quatre-paires 8 qu'il s'agit de raccorder à cette prise. Dans le cas de figure ici représenté, ce câble 8 arrive par le bas, dans un potelet non représenté. La référence 9 désigne son classique fil de masse, ou drain.As shown, these eight IDC 7 contacts, all of which are oriented in the same direction, parallel to and towards the rear of the socket. Each of these IDCs 7 is intended to receive one of the strands of a four-pair cable 8 to be connected to this socket. In the case shown here, this cable 8 arrives from the bottom, in a post not shown. The reference 9 designates its classic ground wire, or drain.

La référence 10 désigne un poussoir de connexion qui est séparable de la prise et destiné à recevoir l'ensemble des brins de ligne 11 avant que ce poussoir soit enfiché sur l'arrière de la prise en chassant alors chaque brin 11 dans la fente autodénudante respective du contact IDC associé 7. Ce poussoir de connexion 10 est très particulier, en ce sens qu'il est totalement symétrique par rapport à son plan transversal médian Y, de sorte que les brins de ligne 11 peuvent y être introduits indifféremment soit tous par le haut, soit tous par le bas.The reference 10 designates a connection pusher which is separable from the socket and intended to receive all of the line strands 11 before this push button is plugged into the rear of the socket, then chasing each strand 11 into the respective insulation displacement slot of the associated IDC contact 7. This push button connection 10 is very particular, in that it is completely symmetrical by with respect to its median transverse plane Y, so that the strands of line 11 can be introduced indifferently either all from the top, or all from the bottom.

Chaque brin de ligne 11 s'introduit dans une goulotte réceptrice traversante et individuelle 13, qui traverse le poussoir 10 orthogonalement au plan Y, puis est replié à angle droit dans une goulotte longitudinale réceptrice 12 qui est parallèle au plan Y, cette configuration étant totalement symétrique par rapport au plan Y, les brins 11 pourraient être introduits de même façon par le haut, comme indiqué en pointillés sur la figure 3.Each line strand 11 is introduced into a receiving chute and individual 13, which crosses the pusher 10 orthogonally to the plane Y, then is folded at right angles into a longitudinal receiving chute 12 which is parallel to the Y plane, this configuration being completely symmetrical with respect to in plane Y, the strands 11 could be introduced in the same way from the top, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 3.

Le poussoir 10 présente une bouche avant 14, au fond de laquelle sont visibles les huit brins 11. Cette bouche avant 14 est destinée à s'enficher sur une partie mâle complémentaire 15 (figure 2), située à l'arrière de la prise, et qui porte les huit contacts IDC 7.The pusher 10 has a front mouth 14, at the bottom of which are visible the eight strands 11. This front mouth 14 is intended to be plugged into a complementary male part 15 (FIG. 2), located at the rear of the socket, and which carries the eight IDC 7 contacts.

Des goulottes transversales 16 sont prévues, au fond de la bouche 14 et à l'arrière des canaux 13, pour recevoir les extrémités libres des contacts IDC. tandis que les brins 11 sont chassés à force dans leurs fentes autodénudantes réceptrices respectives.Cross channels 16 are provided, at the bottom of the mouth 14 and behind the channels 13, to receive the free ends of the IDC contacts. while the strands 11 are forcibly driven into their insulation displacement slots respective recipients.

La prise comporte deux mâchoires en L, 17 et 18, qui sont destinées, en se refermant l'une sur l'autre, à saisir l'arrière du poussoir 10 qui comporte des formes réceptrices adaptées, 19 et 20 respectivement, prévues pour coopérer avec ces mâchoires afin, par un puissant effet de levier qui sera montré ci-après. d'enficher à force le poussoir 10 sur sa partie réceptrice 15, et donc effectuer le branchement des brins 11 sur leurs contacts IDC respectifs 7.The socket has two L-shaped jaws, 17 and 18, which are intended, by closing one on the other, to grasp the back of the pusher 10 which has adapted receiving shapes, 19 and 20 respectively, intended to cooperate with these jaws so, by a powerful leverage which will be shown below. force the pusher 10 onto its receiving part 15, and therefore carry out the connection of the strands 11 to their respective IDC contacts 7.

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent les deux mâchoires 17, 18 en cours de fermeture. Elles poussent, par leurs branches d'extrémité 17A et 18A, sur les formes adaptées respectives 19 et 20 de l'arrière du poussoir 10. Il suffit pour ceci d'appuyer latéralement sur ces branches entre le pouce et l'index d'une main.Figures 5 and 6 show the two jaws 17, 18 during closing. They grow, by their end branches 17A and 18A, on the respective adapted shapes 19 and 20 of the rear of the pusher 10. It suffices for this to press laterally on these branches between the thumb and forefinger of a hand.

En fin de course, le poussoir de connexion est totalement enfiché, et les brins 11 sont tous introduits dans leurs contacts IDC respectifs 7, comme on le voit sur les figures 7 à 9, la connexion étant alors effectuée. At the end of the travel, the connection button is fully inserted, and the strands 11 are all introduced into their respective IDC contacts 7, as is seen in Figures 7 to 9, the connection being made.

A noter que les canaux de réception 13 des brins de ligne 11 sont situés dans un plan X qui est parallèle au plan commun Z des branches d'extrémité libre (17A, 18A) des deux mâchoires 17, 18 lorsque celles-ci sont en état de fermeture selon Figure 9.Note that the reception channels 13 of the line strands 11 are located in a plane X which is parallel to the common plane Z of the branches of free end (17A, 18A) of the two jaws 17, 18 when these are in closed state according to Figure 9.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 9, chaque contact IDC 7 est relié, dans le corps de la prise, à un contact élastique respectif 21 de la bouche avant 22 de la prise Modular Jack, ceci étant bien classique.As seen in Figure 9, each IDC contact 7 is connected, in the body of the socket, at a respective elastic contact 21 of the front mouth 22 of the Modular Jack plug, this being very classic.

La prise qui vient d'être décrite permet de recevoir. sans plier les brins 11, aussi bien un câble 8 arrivant par le bas qu'arrivant par le haut. Elle peut aussi recevoir sans problèmes un câble 8 arrivant soit latéralement. soit par derrière, mais dans ce cas les brins 11 devront être repliés à angle droit, ce qui est acceptable comme mentionné précédemment.The socket which has just been described makes it possible to receive. without bending the strands 11, both a cable 8 arriving from below and arriving from above. She can also receive without problem a cable 8 arriving either laterally. either from behind, but in this case the strands 11 must be folded at right angles, which is acceptable as previously mentioned.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit. C'est ainsi par exemple que chaque mâchoire 17, 18 pourrait comporter une seule branche d'extrémité 17A, 18A au lieu de deux comme il apparaít sur le dessin. C'est ainsi également que cette prise pourrait être construite pour recevoir un nombre de paires, téléphoniques ou informatiques, différent de quatre.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the example of realization which has just been described. For example, each jaw 17, 18 could have a single end branch 17A, 18A instead of two as it appears in the drawing. This is also how this socket could be built to receive a number of pairs, telephone or computer, different from four.
