Description
L'invention se rapporte à des prises de courant rotatives.The invention relates to rotary sockets.
L'invention se rapporte aussi à des blocs d'alimentation comprenant de telles prises rotatives.The invention also relates to power supplies comprising such rotary plugs.
Afin d'éviter que le consommateur exerce une traction directement sur le câble d'alimentation d'appareils électriques, ce qui, à la longue, provoque la rupture des fils conducteurs, de plus en plus d'appareils sont munis de fiches formant un angle avec le câble d'alimentation. Le problème, c'est que ces fiches sont évidemment plus encombrantes, et, notamment dans le cas de prises multiples, les différentes fiches risquent de se gêner mutuellement. Ce problème se pose également avec le branchement de blocs d'alimentation combinant une fiche et une alimentation pour rasoirs, téléphone mobile, ordinateurs, etc.In order to prevent the consumer pulling directly on the power supply cable of electrical devices, which in the long run causes the breaking of the wires, more and more devices are provided with plugs forming an angle with the power cable. The problem is that these cards are obviously more cumbersome, and especially in the case of multiple plugs, the different cards may interfere with each other. This problem also arises with the connection of power supplies combining a plug and a power supply for razors, mobile phone, computers, etc.
