Definitions
- the invention relates to the connection to the electrical network of distribution and / or protection devices, for example circuit breakers, or the supply of electrically operated receivers. More particularly, the invention relates to elastic type connection terminals, in which the clamping is provided by a spring and in which a lever allows the opening or closing of a passage hole for the connection.
- connection of an electrical device is made at a terminal, in which a connection pad is associated with an orifice allowing the passage of an external cable; different types of terminals exist depending on the means provided to access the orifice and / or to tighten the cable against the beach.
- an option compensating for any loosening during the life of the apparatus uses a spring immobilizing an electrical conductor against the connection range of an electrical appliance; the spring, for example blade and loop, can be solicited by a lever that allows to access or not to the cable passage opening.
- Embodiments of this type of elastic terminal are given in the documents EP 1 296 413 or WO 2008/128668 for example.
- the lever comprises a cam pivoting about an axis and acting directly on the spring blade; however, it appears that, particularly when the lever is closed to ensure the tightening of the cable, the spring blade is directly accessible from the outside, and thereby there is a risk of contacting the connection pad with a external object.
- the known solutions are based on a radical choice: either the direct identification of the position of the lever, and therefore the tightening of the terminals, is preferred which causes a protrusion of the lever relative to the housing of the protective devices, preventing for example the setting up of a plastron; the lever is integrated into the protective equipment casing, which makes it difficult to maneuver by imposing the use of a screwdriver type tool for the maneuver ( DE 10 2006 020 125 ) and requires a second check of the clamping of the terminals. Finally, some levers exceed in the wiring space of electrical devices, which hinders the technician during connection operations.
- the invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of existing connection devices.
- the invention proposes to provide an elastic connection terminal in which the verification of the clamping of the terminals is facilitated and the protection against intrusions at the connection pads is increased, while maintaining the reflexes of installation of 'a user and integrating into protection devices and / or distribution, including modular.

- the invention in another aspect, relates to an electrical apparatus whose housing comprises housings for the terminals accessible from one or more orifices, a first of the at least housing being provided with such a connecting device, which comprises a connection pad capable of being connected to a conductor of the electrical appliance, preferably unitary with it.
- the connection device furthermore comprises a member for holding a conductor against the connection pad, the holding element being substantially orthogonal to it and comprising a passage for the conductor.
- the holding element is coupled, preferably unitarily, with spring means, which in particular can form a loop with a bearing branch parallel to the connection pad, a bend, a maneuvering portion and said holding member advantageously extended by a flap of shutter; according to a preferred embodiment, the support branch and / or the connection area pass through the passage of the holding element.
- the spring means may be biased by the compression member which acts on the operating part, via the screen, and causes a displacement of the holding member substantially parallel to the wall of the housing of the apparatus comprising the orifice, so that the passage of the holding member takes two positions, a first rest position in which it is offset from said orifice, with in particular the connection area located substantially at a first end of said passage, and a second compression position in which the passage and the orifice are face to face so that a conductor can pass through the orifice and the holding element at the first end of its orifice to be parallel to the connection range.
- the compression member comprises a pivoting cam acting on the screen and the operating portion of the spring means, extended by a gripping lever external to the housing of the apparatus; the cam and the gripping lever are preferably unitary, even though two different components may be fixedly coupled to form a compression member.
- the lever In the first rest position, the lever is housed against the housing, for example without protruding and it preferably comprises an orifice to be able to associate a tool to mobilize it.
- the gripping lever protrudes from the housing; preferably, a portion of the lever visible only in the second position is provided with a light to identify the position of the lever at a glance.
- the lever is housed against the front face of the electrical appliance at rest and pivots outwardly of the housing, so as to extend the face of the housing comprising the connection port in the second position.
- connection ports are provided for a connection pad, i.e., a single connector.
- the device connection then comprises two cable holding elements, each comprising a passage and parallel to each other.
- the spring means are advantageously also split, to form two similar loops; the actuation is achieved by means of a single screen and a single compression member which increases the surface area and therefore increases the maneuverability.
- connection device according to claim 1
- connection device and an electrical equipment according to the dependent claims.
- an electrical protection and / or distribution device in particular a modular circuit breaker, conventionally comprises a housing 2 substantially rectangular parallelepiped, with the exception of a nose 3 on its front face 4 which opens for example an actuating lever; for the establishment of the device 1 in a table, the rear face of the housing 2 may for example comprise a recess for coupling to a DIN-type rail.
- the large faces of the housing 2 are intended to be contiguous between appliances 1 of the same type; the two remaining faces 5, usually positioned above and below the apparatus 1 in a mounting cabinet, are provided with means for connecting the apparatus 1 to a distribution network.
- the conductors 6 of the apparatus 1 open into housings 7 at this level, and are accessible through openings 8 in which cables 9 may be inserted.
- the housings 7 comprise connection devices 10, or terminals, for clamping the cables, or other wires, 9 to keep them in contact with a portion of the conductors 6 of the apparatus 1 to finalize the electrical installation.
- a connecting device 10 thus comprises a connection pad, or connection, 12 for a conductor 6 of the electrical apparatus 1; classically part of the conductor 6, the range 12 is flat, especially copper, and substantially parallel to the bottom and front walls 4 of the device 1, so that the orifice 8 of the housing 2 is orthogonal and that a cable 9 passing through the orifice 8 is parallel to it.
- connection device 10 illustrated further comprises a leaf spring 14 in the form of a loop for clamping a cable 9 against the beach 12.
- the spring 14 thus comprises a holding element 16, substantially parallel to the wall 5 of the orifice 8, provided with a passage 18 for the cable 9; the holding member 16 is extended by an operating portion 20 allowing, when a force is exerted therein, to move the passage 18 substantially parallel to the wall 5, so that the orifices 8 of the housing 2 and 18 of the holding element 16 can be located face to face, to allow the insertion or removal of a cable 9, or offset with respect to each other.
- the operating portion 20 extends, via a bend, to a support arm 22 which rests against the connection pad 12; in a preferred embodiment, in order to stabilize the assembly, an end 24 of the support branch 22 projects through the element of holding 16, the relative movement of the end relative to the passage 18 being free, without friction, regardless of the relative position of the holding member 16 and the compression of the spring 14; alternatively or in addition, the connection pad 12 can also pass through the holding member 16.
- a first rest position in the absence of cable 9, the spring 14 is deployed, and the orifices 8, 18 are non-aligned, with the connection pad 12 at one end of the passage 18; the holding member 16 then preferably closes the orifice 8 of the apparatus 1 by means of a flap 26 under the passage 18, in order to eliminate any risk of intrusion of an object through the orifice 8.
- a force is exerted on the operating part 20 so that the passage 18 deviates from the connection pad 12 and is located at the orifice 8 ( Figure 2B ): a cable 9 can be inserted.
- the means 30 for exerting the compression of the spring 14 comprise a cam 32 which is adapted for the housing 7 and which is rotatable between a rest position in which it does not act on the operating part 20 and a second position in which the spring 14 is compressed.
- the cam 32 is extended, unitarily or by a fixed coupling, by a gripping lever 34 accessible from outside the housing 2; advantageously, the first and second positions are separated by a rotation of the order of 90 ° of the lever 34.
- the lever 34 is pressed against the housing 2, or even preferably integrated in a housing wall arrangement 2.
- the lever 34 is housed in the front wall 4 of the housing 2, under the nose 3 of the device 1: access to the lever 34 is thus facilitated, and it is not necessary for the operator to seek access by the above (or below) 5 of the device 1, face congested by the connection cables 9 which may be inaccessible depending on the position of the device 1 in the electrical cabinet.
- the direction of rotation of the cam 32 is reversed, that is to say that the axis of rotation 36 of the compression member 30 is located towards the wall 5 comprising the orifice 8 connection, at the end of the lever 34 away from the nose 3 of the apparatus 1, so that the opening of the lever 34 is from the nose 3 of the apparatus 1 to a position, substantially 90 ° , in the extension of the lower or upper face 5.
- the wiring zone 8 remains free access, as with a screw terminal, and the closing movement of the lever 34 is facilitated, exerted by pressure against a fixed wall 4.
- the lever 34 is housed in an arrangement of the walls 4, 5 of the housing 2, which are partially recessed and against which the compression member 30 abuts in the two positions. Due to the difference in height between the stop on the housing 2 of the base of the lever 34 in the open position ( Figure 2B ) and the base of the cam 32 when the lever 34 is in the closed position ( Figure 2A ), the housing 7 of the connecting device 10 can be accessible from the outside.
- a movable screen 40 made of insulating material, is placed between the cam 32 and the operating portion 20 of the spring 14, to cover the area of the spring that is exposed; to transmit the compression exerted by the cam 32, the screen 40 is movable in the housing 7, preferably without friction, and preferably in translation orthogonal to the holding member 16, so as to obstruct the passage created by the 5. Due to the presence of this floating screen 40, the recommended reversal of the direction of rotation of the lever 34 thus poses no security problem, while not modifying the performance and without prohibitive cost.
- the screen comprises a flat surface 42 bearing on the operating part 20 of the spring means 14 and transmitting the compression of the cam 32; advantageously, the flat surface 42 substantially closes the housing 7 of the terminal 10, so as to also close the passage created in the second open position of the lever 34 in the front wall 4 towards the spring 14.
- screen 40 is provided with spring means 44, preferably unitary with it, allowing its return to the cam 32; it is then recommended that the spring means 44 of the screen 40 are coupled to the housing 2, the screen 40 is thus mounted free in translation so as to minimize friction by allowing any freedom of movement to the flat surface 42 of the Screen 40.
- the screen 40 comprises a flange 46 for closing the housing 7 and covering the operating portion 20 of the spring 14, thus preventing any contact with the spring 14 from outside the housing. device 1.

- the hole 34A is designed to guide a elongated tool 50 in a plane orthogonal to the lever 34, that is to say free facing the housing 2; advantageously, the tool 50 is inserted with a predetermined angle ⁇ , constant along the displacement, for example 25 °, so that insertion and movement are natural and the tool 50 is not obstructed by the housing 2 of the device 1 from the first to the second position.
- the preferred embodiment has a lever 34 conforming to the profile 4 of the apparatus 1 when it closes the connection device 10, actuated by a screwdriver 50 to open the terminal and manually to close it
- other options are possible.
- the lever 34 can be grasped by hand for opening and / or has only a second stable position of closure.
- the presented mode offers additional advantages of facilitating the connection by holding the cable 9 with one hand and closing the terminal of the other, to accept large conductor sections 9, for which the means 30 acting on the spring 14 can be operated with a large lever on opening.
- the use of a tool 50 to open the connection device 10 requires conscious action and avoids inadvertent disconnections.
- the lever 34 protruding from the casing of the housing 2.
- means can be provided to quickly identify the closure of the levers 34, that is to say the tightening of the terminals 10: for example, on the projecting portion of the lever 34 invisible in the first position, it is possible to put a 34B indicator ( figure 4 ), including a bright color absent from the usual housings 2, which can immediately locate the terminals possibly not tight.

Description
L'invention concerne le raccordement au réseau électrique d'appareils de distribution et/ou de protection, par exemple des disjoncteurs, ou l'alimentation de récepteurs à fonctionnement électrique. Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte aux bornes de raccordement de type élastiques, dans lesquelles le serrage est assuré par un ressort et dans lesquelles un levier permet l'ouverture ou la fermeture d'un orifice de passage pour la connexion.The invention relates to the connection to the electrical network of distribution and / or protection devices, for example circuit breakers, or the supply of electrically operated receivers. More particularly, the invention relates to elastic type connection terminals, in which the clamping is provided by a spring and in which a lever allows the opening or closing of a passage hole for the connection.
Le raccordement d'un appareil électrique s'effectue au niveau d'une borne, dans laquelle une plage de raccordement est associée à un orifice permettant le passage d'un câble externe ; différents types de bornes existent en fonction des moyens prévus pour accéder à l'orifice et/ou pour serrer le câble contre la plage. En particulier, une option compensant le desserrage éventuel durant la vie de l'appareil met en oeuvre un ressort immobilisant un conducteur électrique contre la plage de raccordement d'un appareil électrique ; le ressort, par exemple à lame et en boucle, peut être sollicité par un levier qui permet de donner accès ou non à l'orifice de passage du câble. Des modes de réalisation de ce type de borne élastique sont donnés dans les documents
Classiquement, le levier comprend une came pivotant autour d'un axe et qui agit directement sur la lame faisant ressort ; il apparaît cependant que, en particulier lorsque le levier est fermé pour assurer le serrage du câble, la lame faisant ressort est directement accessible depuis l'extérieur, et par là-même existe un risque de mise en contact de la plage de raccordement avec un objet extérieur. Qui plus est, les solutions connues reposent sur un choix radical : soit l'identification directe de la position du levier, et donc du serrage des bornes, est privilégiée ce qui entraîne une protubérance du levier par rapport au boîtier des appareils de protection, empêchant par exemple la mise en place d'un plastron ; soit le levier est intégré dans l'enveloppe des appareils de protection, ce qui rend malaisée sa manoeuvre en imposant l'utilisation d'un outil de type tournevis pour la manoeuvre (
Parmi autres avantages, l'invention vise à pallier des inconvénients des dispositifs de raccordement existants. En particulier, l'invention se propose de fournir une borne de raccordement élastique dans laquelle la vérification du serrage des bornes est facilitée et la protection contre les intrusions au niveau des plages de raccordement est augmentée, tout en conservant les réflexes de mise en place d'un utilisateur et en s'intégrant dans les appareils de protection et/ou distribution, notamment modulaires. Un tel dispositif est défini dans les revendications.Among other advantages, the invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of existing connection devices. In particular, the invention proposes to provide an elastic connection terminal in which the verification of the clamping of the terminals is facilitated and the protection against intrusions at the connection pads is increased, while maintaining the reflexes of installation of 'a user and integrating into protection devices and / or distribution, including modular. Such a device is defined in the claims.
Plus généralement, sous un de ses aspects, l'invention concerne un dispositif de raccordement, ou borne, élastique pour un appareil électrique dans laquelle un écran sert d'interface entre le ressort et l'organe de compression du ressort, l'écran étant mobile par rapport à ces deux éléments. Avantageusement, l'écran est associé à des moyens de rappel qui le ramènent en contact avec les moyens de compression de façon à tolérer des formes différentes desdits moyens, et notamment un organe de compression formé de façon unitaire par une came et un levier couvrant une surface différente selon leur position de repos ou de compression.More generally, in one of its aspects, the invention relates to a connecting device, or terminal, elastic for an electrical device in which a screen serves as an interface between the spring and the compression member of the spring, the screen being mobile with respect to these two elements. Advantageously, the screen is associated with biasing means which bring it back into contact with the compression means so as to tolerate different shapes of said means, and in particular a compression member formed in a unitary manner by a cam and a lever covering a different surface depending on their position of rest or compression.
Sous un autre aspect, l'invention concerne un appareil électrique dont le boîtier comprend des logements pour les bornes accessibles depuis un ou plusieurs orifices, un premier des logements au moins étant doté d'un tel dispositif de raccordement, qui comprend une plage de connexion susceptible d'être raccordée à un conducteur de l'appareil électrique, de préférence unitaire avec lui.
Le dispositif de raccordement comprend par ailleurs un élément de maintien d'un conducteur contre la plage de raccordement, l'élément de maintien lui étant sensiblement orthogonal et comprenant un passage pour le conducteur. L'élément de maintien est couplé, de préférence de façon unitaire, avec des moyens faisant ressort, qui notamment peuvent former une boucle avec une branche d'appui parallèle à la plage de raccordement, un coude, une partie de manoeuvre et ledit élément de maintien avantageusement prolongé par une bavette d'obturation ; selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la branche d'appui et/ou la plage de raccordement traversent le passage de l'élément de maintien. Les moyens faisant ressort peuvent être sollicités par l'organe de compression qui agit sur la partie de manoeuvre, par l'intermédiaire de l'écran, et entraîne un déplacement de l'élément de maintien sensiblement parallèlement à la paroi du boîtier de l'appareil comprenant l'orifice, de sorte que le passage de l'élément de maintien prend deux positions, une première position de repos dans laquelle il est décalé dudit orifice, avec notamment la plage de raccordement localisée sensiblement à une première extrémité dudit passage, et une deuxième position de compression dans laquelle le passage et l'orifice sont face à face de sorte qu'un conducteur peut traverser l'orifice et l'élément de maintien au niveau de la première extrémité dégagée de son orifice pour se retrouver parallèle à la plage de raccordement.In another aspect, the invention relates to an electrical apparatus whose housing comprises housings for the terminals accessible from one or more orifices, a first of the at least housing being provided with such a connecting device, which comprises a connection pad capable of being connected to a conductor of the electrical appliance, preferably unitary with it.
The connection device furthermore comprises a member for holding a conductor against the connection pad, the holding element being substantially orthogonal to it and comprising a passage for the conductor. The holding element is coupled, preferably unitarily, with spring means, which in particular can form a loop with a bearing branch parallel to the connection pad, a bend, a maneuvering portion and said holding member advantageously extended by a flap of shutter; according to a preferred embodiment, the support branch and / or the connection area pass through the passage of the holding element. The spring means may be biased by the compression member which acts on the operating part, via the screen, and causes a displacement of the holding member substantially parallel to the wall of the housing of the apparatus comprising the orifice, so that the passage of the holding member takes two positions, a first rest position in which it is offset from said orifice, with in particular the connection area located substantially at a first end of said passage, and a second compression position in which the passage and the orifice are face to face so that a conductor can pass through the orifice and the holding element at the first end of its orifice to be parallel to the connection range.
L'organe de compression comprend une came pivotante agissant sur l'écran et la partie de manoeuvre des moyens faisant ressort, prolongée par un levier de préhension externe au boîtier de l'appareil ; la came et le levier de préhension sont de préférence unitaires, même si deux composants différents peuvent être couplés de façon fixe pour former un organe de compression. Dans la première position de repos, le levier est logé contre le boîtier, par exemple sans en faire saillie et il comprend de préférence un orifice pour pouvoir lui associer un outil afin de le mobiliser. Dans la deuxième position, avantageusement orthogonale à la première, le levier de préhension fait saillie du boîtier ; de préférence, une partie du levier visible uniquement dans la deuxième position est munie d'un voyant afin d'identifier la position du levier du premier coup d'oeil. Avantageusement, le levier est logé contre la face avant de l'appareil électrique au repos et pivote vers l'extérieur du boîtier, de façon à prolonger la face du boîtier comprenant l'orifice de raccordement dans la deuxième position.The compression member comprises a pivoting cam acting on the screen and the operating portion of the spring means, extended by a gripping lever external to the housing of the apparatus; the cam and the gripping lever are preferably unitary, even though two different components may be fixedly coupled to form a compression member. In the first rest position, the lever is housed against the housing, for example without protruding and it preferably comprises an orifice to be able to associate a tool to mobilize it. In the second position, advantageously orthogonal to the first, the gripping lever protrudes from the housing; preferably, a portion of the lever visible only in the second position is provided with a light to identify the position of the lever at a glance. Advantageously, the lever is housed against the front face of the electrical appliance at rest and pivots outwardly of the housing, so as to extend the face of the housing comprising the connection port in the second position.
Dans un mode de réalisation, deux orifices de raccordement sont prévus pour une plage de raccordement, c'est-à-dire un seul dispositif de raccordement. De préférence, le dispositif de raccordement comprend alors deux éléments de maintien des câbles, comprenant chacun un passage et parallèles l'un à l'autre. Les moyens faisant ressort sont avantageusement également dédoublés, pour former deux boucles similaires ; l'actionnement est réalisé par l'intermédiaire d'un seul écran et d'un seul organe de compression ce qui permet d'accroître la surface et donc d'augmenter la maniabilité.In one embodiment, two connection ports are provided for a connection pad, i.e., a single connector. Preferably, the device connection then comprises two cable holding elements, each comprising a passage and parallel to each other. The spring means are advantageously also split, to form two similar loops; the actuation is achieved by means of a single screen and a single compression member which increases the surface area and therefore increases the maneuverability.
Plus généralement, l'invention concerne un dispositif de raccordement selon la revendication 1, ainsi qu'un dispositif de raccordement et un équipement électrique selon les revendications dépendantes..More generally, the invention relates to a connection device according to claim 1, and a connection device and an electrical equipment according to the dependent claims.

Le dispositif de raccordement 10 illustré comprend en outre une lame ressort 14 en forme de boucle permettant le serrage d'un câble 9 contre la plage 12. Le ressort 14 comprend ainsi un élément de maintien 16, sensiblement parallèle à la paroi 5 de l'orifice 8, muni d'un passage 18 pour le câble 9 ; l'élément de maintien 16 est prolongé par une partie de manoeuvre 20 permettant, lorsqu'une force y est exercée, de déplacer le passage 18 sensiblement parallèlement à la paroi 5, de sorte que les orifices 8 du boîtier 2 et 18 de l'élément de maintien 16 peuvent être localisés face à face, pour permettre l'insertion ou le retrait d'un câble 9, ou décalés l'un par rapport à l'autre. La partie de manoeuvre 20 se prolonge, par l'intermédiaire d'un coude, vers une branche d'appui 22 qui repose contre la plage de raccordement 12 ; dans un mode de réalisation préféré, afin de stabiliser l'ensemble, une extrémité 24 de la branche d'appui 22 fait saillie à travers l'élément de maintien 16, le mouvement relatif de l'extrémité par rapport au passage 18 étant libre, sans frottement, quelle que soit la position relative de l'élément de maintien 16 et la compression du ressort 14 ; alternativement ou en complément, la plage de connexion 12 peut elle aussi passer à travers l'élément de maintien 16.The
Dans une première position de repos (
Les moyens 30 pour exercer la compression du ressort 14 comprennent une came 32 qui est adaptée pour le logement 7 et qui est mobile en rotation entre une position de repos dans laquelle elle n'agit pas sur la partie de manoeuvre 20 et une deuxième position dans laquelle le ressort 14 est comprimé. La came 32 est prolongée, de façon unitaire ou par un couplage fixe, par un levier de préhension 34 accessible depuis l'extérieur du boîtier 2 ; avantageusement, la première et la deuxième position sont séparées par une rotation de l'ordre de 90° du levier 34.The
Afin de réduire l'encombrement de l'appareil 1, dans sa première position de repos, le levier 34 est plaqué contre le boîtier 2, voire même, de préférence, intégré dans un aménagement d'une paroi du boîtier 2. Avantageusement, le levier 34 est logé dans la paroi avant 4 du boîtier 2, sous le nez 3 de l'appareil 1 : l'accès au levier 34 est ainsi facilité, et il n'est pas nécessaire à l'opérateur de chercher un accès par le dessus (ou le dessous) 5 de l'appareil 1, face encombrée par les câbles de raccordement 9 qui peut être inaccessible selon la position de l'appareil 1 dans l'armoire électrique.To reduce the size of the device 1, in its first rest position, the
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le sens de rotation de la came 32 est inversé, c'est-à-dire que l'axe de rotation 36 de l'organe de compression 30 est localisé vers la paroi 5 comprenant l'orifice 8 de raccordement, au niveau de l'extrémité du levier 34 éloignée du nez 3 de l'appareil 1, de sorte que l'ouverture du levier 34 se fasse depuis le nez 3 de l'appareil 1 vers une position, sensiblement à 90°, dans le prolongement de la face inférieure ou supérieure 5. De cette façon, la zone de câblage 8 reste libre d'accès, comme avec une borne à vis, et le mouvement de fermeture du levier 34 est facilité, s'exerçant par pression contre une paroi fixe 4.In a preferred embodiment, the direction of rotation of the
Le levier 34 est logé dans un aménagement des parois 4, 5 du boîtier 2, qui sont en partie évidées et contre lesquelles l'organe de compression 30 vient en butée dans les deux positions. Du fait de la différence de hauteur entre la butée sur le boîtier 2 de la base du levier 34 en position ouverte (
Afin de supprimer le risque qu'un objet, en particulier métallique, de faible épaisseur pénètre entre la came 32 et le ressort 14, et donc pour pallier le risque d'électrocution, un écran mobile 40, en matière isolante, est placé entre la came 32 et la partie de manoeuvre 20 du ressort 14, pour recouvrir la zone du ressort qui est exposée ; pour transmettre la compression exercée par la came 32, l'écran 40 est mobile dans le logement 7, de préférence sans frottement, et avantageusement en translation orthogonale à l'élément de maintien 16, de façon à obstruer au mieux le passage créé par l'évidement de la paroi 5. Grâce à la présence de cet écran flottant 40, l'inversion préconisée du sens de rotation du levier 34 ne pose ainsi aucun problème de sécurité, tout en ne modifiant pas les performances et sans coût prohibitif.In order to eliminate the risk of an object, in particular metal, of small thickness penetrating between the
En particulier, l'écran comprend une surface plane 42 venant en appui sur la partie de manoeuvre 20 des moyens faisant ressort 14 et lui transmettant la compression de la came 32 ; avantageusement, la surface plane 42 ferme sensiblement le logement 7 de la borne 10, de façon à également obturer le passage créé dans la deuxième position, ouverte, du levier 34 au sein de la paroi avant 4 vers le ressort 14. De préférence, l'écran 40 est muni de moyens faisant ressort 44, de préférence unitaires avec lui, permettant son rappel vers la came 32 ; il est alors préconisé que les moyens faisant ressort 44 de l'écran 40 soient couplés au boîtier 2, l'écran 40 étant ainsi monté libre en translation de façon à minimiser les frottements en laissant toute liberté de déplacement à la surface plane 42 de l'écran 40. Qui plus est, l'écran 40 comprend un rebord 46 permettant l'obturation du logement 7 et le recouvrement de la partie de manoeuvre 20 du ressort 14, interdisant ainsi tout contact avec le ressort 14 depuis l'extérieur de l'appareil 1.In particular, the screen comprises a
Avantageusement, dans la première position de repos (
Bien que le mode de réalisation préféré présente un levier 34 épousant le profil 4 de l'appareil 1 quand il ferme le dispositif de raccordement 10, actionné par un tournevis 50 pour ouvrir la borne et manuellement pour la refermer, d'autres options sont possibles, dans lesquelles le levier 34 peut être saisi à la main pour l'ouverture et/ou n'a qu'une deuxième position stable de fermeture. Cependant, le mode présenté offre pour avantages supplémentaires de faciliter le raccordement en tenant le câble 9 d'une main et en fermant la borne de l'autre, d'accepter des grosses sections de conducteurs 9, pour lesquelles les moyens 30 faisant action sur le ressort 14 ne peuvent être actionnés qu'avec un levier important à l'ouverture. Par ailleurs, l'utilisation d'un outil 50 pour ouvrir le dispositif de raccordement 10 nécessite une action consciente et évite les débranchements par inadvertance.Although the preferred embodiment has a
De préférence, dans la deuxième position ouverte, la mise en place d'un plastron n'est pas possible, le levier 34 faisant saillie hors de l'enveloppe du boîtier 2. Notamment, il peut être préférable de livrer les appareils 1 avec les leviers 34 dans la deuxième position ouverte, de façon à ce que la fermeture manuelle soit requise et donc l'oubli de connexions minimisé : ainsi, la réception de l'installation ne peut être réalisée que si les serrages sont effectifs. Alternativement, ou en supplément, des moyens peuvent être prévus pour repérer rapidement la fermeture des leviers 34, c'est-à-dire le serrage des bornes 10 : par exemple, sur la partie saillante du levier 34 invisible dans la première position, il est possible de mettre un indicateur 34B (

Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en référence à un appareil de protection électrique 1, elle ne s'y limite pas : d'autres éléments peuvent être concernés. En particulier, l'invention s'adapte à un système élastique 14 de borne 10 actionné par un levier 34, que le levier 34 présente deux positions stables ou non. De plus, la forme des moyens faisant ressort 14 peut être modifiée selon la gamme et la conception de l'appareil 1 : la présence dans ce type de borne d'un écran 40 placé entre les moyens d'actionnement 30 et les moyens de compression 14 afin d'achever la connexion permet de se conformer aux critères d'étanchéité les plus stricts, et d'empêcher la pénétration d'objets de 1 mm qui pourraient venir en contact avec la lame ressort 20 sous tension de la borne. L'écran 40 quant à lui peut être mobile en translation ou en rotation suivant la conception des autres composants du dispositif 10. De même, le sens de pivotement du levier 34 peut être inversé, mais l'option préférée permet d'utiliser l'espace libre face à l'appareil 1 pour insérer et faire pivoter l'outil 50, de mettre en place des moyens 34B pour visualiser l'état de fermeture ou non du levier 34, et d'empêcher la pose définitive du plastron en cas de lacune de branchement.Although the invention has been described with reference to an electrical protection apparatus 1, it is not limited thereto: other elements may be concerned. In particular, the invention adapts to an
