  • the invention also relates to an electrical device housed in a housing comprising a rear face for fixing to a mounting support such as a rail, one front face, two faces main means by which the device can be attached to another device of the same type, and two opposite side faces, said device being able to be connected to another device electric located upstream on said mounting support by means of a connection comprising the previously mentioned characteristics taken alone or in combination, this apparatus comprising at least one input terminal and at least one terminal output, said terminals being located on the same side of the support, and at least one terminal on the other side of the support.
  • the input terminal (s) are located at the rear of the device and at one of the side faces of the device and the terminal (s) outlet are located at the front of the device and set back from said side face of the device.
  • the input terminals and the output terminals comprises each, an access opening for the conductors, said openings being located respectively for the input terminals and the output terminals on two parts of surfaces lateral offset according to the height and depth of the housing.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a circuit breaker D and a remote control switch T mounted side by side on a same mounting rail R, the assembly forming a controlled and protected switch. These two devices are housed in separate modular boxes each comprising a rear face 1.2 for attachment to the rail R, one front face 3.4, two main faces 5,6,7,8 per which the boxes of the two juxtaposed devices are attached, and two side faces opposite 9,10,11,12 on which connection terminals 13 to 22 are located.
  • the first device D in this case a circuit breaker, is of the conventional type and has two input terminals 13,14 housed in its upper part, and two output terminals 15,16 housed in its lower part.
  • the second device is constituted by a remote control switch T and comprises, as is known per se, a cut-off circuit intended to serve a use circuit and controlled by a control circuit, said control circuit comprising a coil intended to be supplied by the power conductors of the first device D and controlled by an ordering circuit comprising for example a push button (these circuits not being shown in the figures).
  • This device comprises in its upper part two control terminals 17,18, by which the aforementioned coil terminals can be connected to the power conductors of the circuit breaker, and four so-called power terminals, namely two input terminals 19,20 (respectively neutral and phase) and two output terminals 21,22 (respectively neutral and phase) at its lower part (more particularly visible in Figure 3)
  • the input terminals 19,20 and the output terminals 21,22 are located at two different depth levels of the housing of the device, the depth being defined as the distance separating the face 4c located furthest from the device T from the rear face 2 of the device T. It can also be seen in FIG.
  • one 12 of the lateral faces 11,12 of this apparatus T in fact comprises several lateral face portions 12a , 12b parallel to each other but offset according to the height and depth of the device.
  • On one 12a of these faces 12a, 12b open the access openings 23,24 of the input terminals 19,20, and on the other 12b of these faces open the access openings 25,26 of the terminals exit 21.22.
  • the front face of the housing has several parallel front face parts 4a, 4b, 4c between them, also offset according to the depth and height of the housing.
  • This device C comprises an insulating cover 31 made of a plastic material, said cover 31 comprising two conduction paths 32, 33 respectively housing two rigid electrical conductors 34, 35.
  • This cover 31 is constituted by a plate 36 whose dimensions correspond substantially to the dimensions of the lateral face 12 of the second device T, this plate 36 comprising two parts of conduction paths 32,33 capable of receiving the part of the conductors extending in view of the second device T. From this plate 36 extend two separate conduction paths 37, 38 housing the portion of the conductors located opposite the first device D.
  • a flap 39 is hinged on this plate 36 between a position in which it extends parallel to this plate 36 and a position in which it extends perpendicular to this plate.
  • the articulation of the flap 39 is produced by means of an integrated plastic hinge 40.
  • snap-fastening means 41 in the form of a hook capable of coming to engage on corresponding parts 42 ( Figure 3) of the housing.
  • the two conductors 34, 35 each comprise a part 34a, 35a extending along the plate and two connection pads 34b, 35b, 34c, 35c extending perpendicular to the plane of said plate 36.
  • the separate paths 37, 38 and the plate 36 are brought respectively opposite the side faces 10 and 12 of the devices comprising the output terminals 15, 16, for the first device D, and the terminals d input 19, 20, for the second device T.
  • the areas of conductors 34b, 35b and 34c, 35c are then introduced into the corresponding terminals 16, 15 and 20, 19 of the devices, one of the conductors 34 connecting the terminal of phase output 16 of the first device D with the phase input terminal 20 of the second device T, the other of the conductors 35 connecting the neutral output terminal 15 of the first device D with the neutral input terminal 19 of the second device.
  • the plate 36 covers the whole of the lower lateral face 12 of the second device T so that access to the conductors and to the terminal openings 23,24 from below the device, is made impossible.
  • the flap 39 When the device is put in place, the flap 39 is folded over one of the aforementioned front face parts 4a, then fixed to the housing of the device by means of the aforementioned snap-fastening means 41,42. In this position, this flap 39 on the one hand completes the insulation at the level of the openings 23, 24 of the input terminals 19, 20, ie preventing access from the front of the device, to the connection part situated at the level of these openings, and on the other hand, covers the actuating members 27, 28, in this case the terminal screws, so that their manipulation is impossible. On the other hand, it can be seen in particular in FIG. 2 that access to the openings 25, 26 of the output terminals 21, 22 as well as to the actuating members 29, 30 of these terminals is left free.
  • connection device has therefore been produced which makes it possible to make a quick and inexpensive connection of two devices, thanks in particular to the fact that the connections are short, the bridging part being fully protected while the output of the second device is free for subsequent connection by the customer, as well as a device allowing the use of such a device.
  • this device can be mounted on demand on a controlled switch or if it is systematically mounted on this switch, it can be dismantled for more universal use.
  • the invention applies advantageously but not exclusively during the association of an electrical device such as a circuit breaker with a controlled switch such as a remote control switch or a contactor or with a differential etc ...
