L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective de côté d'un premier exemple de réalisation d'un système selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue de côté d'un tel système ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue en perspective de côté d'un second exemple de réalisation d'un système selon l'invention ; et
  • la figure 4 représente une vue de côté de ce système.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a side perspective view of a first embodiment of a system according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 represents a side view of such a system;
  • the figure 3 is a side perspective view of a second embodiment of a system according to the invention; and
  • the figure 4 represents a side view of this system.

On a en effet illustré sur ces figures, un système de fixation et de mise à la masse d'une plaque de circuit imprimé.In these figures, a system for fixing and grounding a printed circuit board has been illustrated.

Cette plaque est par exemple désignée par la référence générale 1 tandis que le plan de masse est désigné par la référence générale 2.This plate is for example designated by the general reference 1 while the ground plane is designated by the general reference 2.

Ce système comporte une agrafe désignée par la référence générale 3 qui est réalisée par exemple d'une seule pièce par découpe et déformation d'un flan en matériau élastique et conducteur de l'électricité comme par exemple un flan de tôle.This system comprises a clip designated by the general reference 3 which is formed for example in one piece by cutting and deformation of a blank of elastic material and electrically conductive such as a sheet blank.

Cette agrafe comporte alors une première et une seconde plaques d'appui désignées par les références 4 et 5 sur ces figures, ces plaques d'appui étant munies de moyens de contact respectivement avec la plaque de circuit imprimé et le plan de masse.This clip then comprises a first and a second support plate designated by the references 4 and 5 in these figures, these support plates being provided with contact means respectively with the printed circuit board and the ground plane.

En fait, ces moyens de contact peuvent comporter au moins une languette venue de matière avec la plaque correspondante, la ou chaque languette étant munie de moyens formant plot de contact dentelé avec l'élément correspondant.In fact, these contact means may comprise at least one tongue integrally formed with the corresponding plate, the or each tongue being provided with means forming a serrated contact pad with the corresponding element.

Ainsi par exemple la plaque 4 est munie de deux languettes venues de matière désignées par exemple par les références 6 et 7 sur ces figures, découpées et déformées à partir de cette plaque d'appui 4, et dont les extrémités comprennent par exemple des moyens formant plot de contact dentelé respectivement 8 et 9, avec la plaque de circuit imprimé.Thus, for example, the plate 4 is provided with two tongues which are made of material, for example designated by references 6 and 7 in these figures, cut and deformed from this support plate 4, the ends of which comprise, for example, means forming Serrated contact stud respectively 8 and 9, with the printed circuit board.

Avantageusement, la ou chaque plaque d'appui est inclinée en direction de l'élément correspondant c'est-à-dire la plaque de circuit imprimé ou le plan de masse et la ou chaque languette de chacune de celles-ci est également inclinée en s'éloignant de la plaque d'appui pour assurer un bon contact et un bon maintien en position de la plaque de circuit imprimé par rapport au plan de masse.Advantageously, the or each support plate is inclined towards the corresponding element that is to say the printed circuit board or the ground plane and the or each tab of each of them is also inclined. away from the backing plate to ensure good contact and good retention in position of the printed circuit board relative to the ground plane.

Par ailleurs, les parties dentelées des plots de contact permettent également de rayer la surface de la plaque de circuit imprimé et du plan de masse pour améliorer encore la conduction électrique entre cette plaque et ce plan de masse.Moreover, the serrated portions of the contact pads also make it possible to scratch the surface of the printed circuit board and the plane of contact. mass to further improve the electrical conduction between this plate and this ground plane.

Les languettes correspondantes de la plaque d'appui 5 sont désignées par exemple par les références 10 et 11, et les plots de contact dentelés correspondants par les références 12 et 13.The corresponding tabs of the support plate 5 are designated for example by the references 10 and 11, and the corresponding toothed contact pads by the references 12 and 13.

Cette agrafe comporte également des moyens d'accrochage élastique sur une pièce de support telle que la pièce désignée par la référence générale 14 sur la figure 2.This clip also comprises elastic attachment means on a support piece such as the part designated by the general reference 14 on the figure 2 .

Ces moyens d'accrochage élastique de l'agrafe sur la pièce de support 14 se présentent par exemple sous la forme de moyens en forme de pince désignés par la référence générale 15, adaptés pour être engagés élastiquement sur la pièce de support afin d'y être fixés.These means of elastic hooking of the clip on the support piece 14 are for example in the form of clamp-shaped means designated by the general reference 15, adapted to be engaged elastically on the support piece in order to to be fixed.

On notera également que ces moyens en forme de pince comprennent par exemple des moyens en forme de harpon d'accrochage de ceux-ci sur la pièce de support, ces moyens en forme de harpon étant désignés par la référence générale 16 et étant également venus de matière avec le reste de l'agrafe.It will also be noted that these gripper-shaped means comprise, for example, harpoon-hooking means for attaching them to the support piece, these harpoon-shaped means being designated by the general reference 16 and having also come from material with the rest of the staple.

Des moyens d'accrochage élastique et de sollicitation de la plaque de circuit imprimé 1 contre la première plaque d'appui 4 sont également prévus. Ces moyens sont désignés par la référence générale 17 sur cette figure et comprennent au moins un organe en forme de crochet élastique s'étendant au-dessus de la plaque d'appui 4 et comportant au moins une zone en rampe 18 d'escamotage de celui-ci lors de l'engagement de la plaque de circuit imprimé 1 en position contre la plaque d'appui 4.Elastic attachment means and biasing the printed circuit board 1 against the first support plate 4 are also provided. These means are designated by the general reference 17 in this figure and comprise at least one elastic hook-shaped member extending above the support plate 4 and comprising at least one ramp 18 zone retracted from that during the engagement of the printed circuit board 1 in position against the support plate 4.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, ces moyens en forme de crochet sont reliés aux moyens en forme de pince 15 qui sont eux-mêmes reliés à la première plaque d'appui 4.In this embodiment shown on the figures 1 and 2 these hook-shaped means are connected to the clamp means 15 which are themselves connected to the first support plate 4.

Enfin, les deux plaques d'appui 4 et 5 sont raccordées par des moyens de raccordement formant entretoise désignés par la référence générale 19 sur ces figures.Finally, the two support plates 4 and 5 are connected by spacer connecting means designated by the general reference 19 in these figures.

Ces moyens formant entretoise comprennent en fait une plaque de raccordement d'une extrémité de la première plaque d'appui 4 à l'extrémité opposée de la seconde plaque d'appui 5.These spacer means in fact comprise a connecting plate of one end of the first support plate 4 at the opposite end of the second support plate 5.

Ainsi, dans l'exemple illustré, la première plaque d'appui 4, la plaque de raccordement 19 et la second plaque d'appui 5 forment un "Z" inversé, doté d'une certaine élasticité permettant d'assurer un bon contact de mise à la masse et une bonne fixation de la plaque par rapport au plan de masse.Thus, in the illustrated example, the first support plate 4, the connection plate 19 and the second support plate 5 form an inverted "Z", provided with a certain elasticity making it possible to ensure a good contact of grounding and a good fixation of the plate with respect to the ground plane.

On conçoit alors que l'agrafe 3 une fois en position sur la pièce de support 14 peut recevoir la plaque de circuit imprimé 1 par engagement de celle-ci sous les moyens en forme de crochet 17 qui s'écartent élastiquement pour la laisser passer puis la plaquer contre la plaque d'appui 4.It is then conceivable that the clip 3 once in position on the support piece 14 can receive the printed circuit board 1 by engagement thereof under the hook-shaped means 17 which elastically move aside to pass and then press it against the backing plate 4.

Bien entendu d'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être envisagés.Of course other embodiments can be envisaged.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, les moyens en forme de pince 15 et les moyens 17 d'accrochage élastique et de sollicitation de la plaque de circuit imprimé 1 contre la première plaque d'appui 4 sont reliés à cette première plaque 4. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures 3 et 4, ces moyens sont reliés à la seconde plaque d'appui 5. Ces moyens désignés respectivement par les références 115 et 117 sont alors en effet raccordés à la seconde plaque d'appui 5 et les moyens d'accrochage élastique et de sollicitation de la plaque de circuit imprimé contre la première plaque d'appui 4 comprennent alors par exemple deux organes en forme de crochets élastiques 118 et 119 disposés de part et d'autre de la plaque d'appui 4.In the exemplary embodiment shown on the figures 1 and 2 , the clamp-shaped means 15 and the means 17 for elastic hooking and biasing of the printed circuit board 1 against the first support plate 4 are connected to this first plate 4. In the embodiment shown in FIG. the figures 3 and 4 these means are connected to the second support plate 5. These means designated respectively by the references 115 and 117 are then in fact connected to the second support plate 5 and the elastic hooking means and the biasing of the plate printed circuit against the first support plate 4 then comprise, for example, two members in the form of elastic hooks 118 and 119 disposed on either side of the support plate 4.

Il va de soi que bien d'autres modes de réalisation encore peuvent être envisagés.It goes without saying that many other embodiments can be envisaged.
