Abstract

The rapid fixing element for mounting electrical equipment onto a support rail takes the form of a flexible bolt fixed in a guide at the rear of an instrument case. It consists of a U-shaped wire hook with shoulders (1a,1b) which engage with complementary hollow stages in a guide. The ends of the wire are bent together and carry a locking element (5). The profile of the shoulders of the hook and the guide is arranged so that the movement of the bolt in one sense is blocked by the action of the shoulders but in the other sense is only prevented by contact of the locking element with the instrument.

Description

La pré sente invention se rapporte à un élément de fixation rapide pour le montage d'appareils électriques sur un rail de support) appareil qui est réalisé sous forme d'un verrou élastique logé dans un guide prévu dans le fond d'un bottier. The present invention relates to a quick fastening element for mounting electrical devices on a support rail) device which is made in the form of an elastic lock housed in a guide provided in the bottom of a shoemaker.

La demande de brevet allemand 2 323 197, publiée avant examen, décrit déJi un dispositif pour la fixation des appareils d'une installation électrique sur des rails de montage. Ce dispositif connu comporte une pièce en forme de U, obtenue par emboutissage, qui s'engage de l'extérieur avec deux prolongements de ses branches recour- bés vers l'intérieur dans des rainures de guidage du bottier et qui est serrouillée contre tout dégagement accidentel par un ressort, mis en place ultérieurement. German patent application 2 323 197, published before examination, already describes a device for fixing the devices of an electrical installation on mounting rails. This known device comprises a U-shaped part, obtained by stamping, which engages from the outside with two extensions of its branches curved inward in guide grooves of the shoemaker and which is locked against any release. accidental by a spring, installed later.

L'inconvénient de ce dispositif connu réside dans le fait que la mise en place du ressort nécessite une opération supplémentaire et que le verrou ne peut pas s'encliqueter dans sa position ouvert. Notamment lorsqu'il s'agit d'appareils comportant plusieurs élément de fixation rapide il est difficile de les retirer du support de mon- tage si les verrous ne peuvent pas s'encliqueter dans la position d'ouverture.The disadvantage of this known device lies in the fact that the installation of the spring requires an additional operation and that the lock cannot snap into its open position. Particularly in the case of devices with several quick fasteners, it is difficult to remove them from the mounting bracket if the latches cannot snap into the open position.

La présente invention a pour objet de perfectionner un élément de fixation rapide du type mentionné pour qu'il puisse être monté ultérieurement et sans difficulté sur un appareil, nota eut un appareil d'une installation électrique, et qutil puisse s'enclencher également dans la position d'ouverture. The object of the present invention is to improve a quick fastening element of the type mentioned so that it can be subsequently mounted without difficulty on an appliance, nota had an appliance of an electrical installation, and that it can also be engaged in the open position.

Ces problèmes sont résolus conformément à l'invention, par un élément de fixation rapide qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un étrier en fil métallique et en forme de U dont les branches présentent, à des endroits se faisant face, des coudes stenclenchant dans des évidements étagés et complémentaires d'un guide et dont les extrémités des branches, coudées l'une vers l'autre, portent un élément d'encliquetage. These problems are solved in accordance with the invention, by a quick fastening element which is characterized in that it comprises a metal wire stirrup and in the shape of a U, the branches of which have, at opposite places, elbows which lock in place. in storied and complementary recesses of a guide, the ends of the branches of which, bent towards one another, carry a latching element.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit. Various other characteristics of the invention will also emerge from the detailed description which follows.

Une forme de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention est représentée, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, au dessin annexé.  An embodiment of the object of the invention is shown, by way of nonlimiting example, in the accompanying drawing.

La fig. 1 représente n élévation latérale un élé- ment de fixation rapide et en coupe le socle d'un appareil à fixer d'une installation quelconque. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of a quick fixing element and in section the base of a fixture of any installation.

La fig. 2 est une vue de dessous partiellement en coupe de l'appareil et de l'élément de fixation rapide. Fig. 2 is a bottom view partially in section of the apparatus and of the quick fastening element.

L'élément de fixation rapide est constitué par un étrier 1 en fil métallique présentant la forme d'un U dont les branches sent logées dans un guide 2 prévu sur l'appareil 3 à installer. Les extrémités 4 des branches de l'étrier sont recourbées et s'engagent dans un élément d'encliquetage 3 en matière synthétique. Les branches de l'étrier présentent des coudes la et lb qui s'enclenchent dans des évidements étagés complémentaires 2a, 2b du guide 2. Les évidements sont à deux étages de façon que l'étrier puisse occuper deuxpositions d'encliquetage stables.Dans la position de fermeture, le verrou revient élastiquement en arrière en quittant légèrement la position de verrouillage représentée de façon que l'élément d'encliquetage puisse s'engager sous un rail profilé non représenté et maintenir l'appareil qui est accroché, de façon non représentée, sur l'autre côté du rail. Une traction exercée sur la base le de l'étrier permet d'amener élui-ci dans une autre position de verrouillage dans laquelle les coudes la et lb épousent les évidements 2c et 2d. Dans cette position d'ouverture l'élément d'encliquetage est retiré suffisamment pour libérer l'appareil du rail de support.L'étrier en fil métallique ne peut pas btre retiré davantage parce qu'un bord 5a limite sa course en venant en butée avec un bord 3a du bottier de l'appareil. I1 n'est également pas possible d'enfoncer l'étrier au-delà de la position de fermeture du fait que les coudes la, lb s'appliquent contre les flancs raides 2'a et 2'b des évidements où ils sont bloqués. The quick-fixing element consists of a stirrup 1 made of metal wire having the shape of a U, the branches of which are housed in a guide 2 provided on the device 3 to be installed. The ends 4 of the legs of the stirrup are curved and engage in a snap-in element 3 made of synthetic material. The arms of the stirrup have elbows 1a and 1b which engage in complementary stepped recesses 2a, 2b of the guide 2. The recesses are in two stages so that the stirrup can occupy two stable latching positions. closed position, the latch returns elastically back slightly leaving the locking position shown so that the latching element can engage under a profile rail not shown and hold the device which is hooked, not shown , on the other side of the rail. A traction exerted on the base of the stirrup makes it possible to bring the latter to another locking position in which the elbows 1a and 1b match the recesses 2c and 2d. In this open position, the snap-in element is withdrawn enough to free the device from the support rail. The metal yoke cannot be withdrawn further because an edge 5a limits its travel by coming into abutment. with an edge 3a of the boot of the device. I1 is also not possible to push the stirrup beyond the closed position because the elbows 1a, 1b are applied against the steep sides 2'a and 2'b of the recesses where they are blocked.

Un avantage non négligeable de l'élément de fixation rapide suivant l'invention réside dans le fait que l'étrier en fil métallique et l'élément d'encliquetage peuvent entre assemblés avant leur montage sur l'appareil de façon qu'il suffise d'introduire l'étrier dans le guide | partir de l'un des côtés en engageant tout d'abord sa base 1c. Lors d'une introduction suffisamment profonde de l'étrier les coudes la et lb s'enclenchent dans les évidements en interdisant toute extraction accidentelle. Grâce à la réalisation étagée des évidements l'appareil peut être retiré sans problème du rail de montage, même lorsqu'il comporte plusieurs éléments de fixation, étant donné que chaque élément do fixation peut être amené en position d'ouverture.  A non-negligible advantage of the quick fixing element according to the invention lies in the fact that the metal yoke and the latching element can be assembled before being mounted on the device so that it suffices to insert the stirrup in the guide | from one of the sides by first engaging its base 1c. When the stirrup is inserted sufficiently deep, the elbows 1a and 1b engage in the recesses, preventing any accidental extraction. Thanks to the staggered construction of the recesses the device can be removed without problem from the mounting rail, even when it has several fixing elements, since each fixing element can be brought into the open position.
