La présente invention a pour a objet un dispositif de prise multiple escamotable.The present invention relates to a retractable multiple outlet device.
Les prises multiples se présentent généralement sous une forme allongée ou ronde et possèdent une fiche intégrée audit boîtier ou reliée à ce dernier par un câble de raccordement électrique pour sa connexion au réseau électrique.The multiple sockets are generally in an elongated or round shape and have a plug integrated into said housing or connected to the latter by an electrical connection cable for its connection to the electrical network.
Lés habitations actuelles comportent de plus e plus d'appareils électriques qui nécessitent de nombreuses prises de courant et notamment des boîtiers à prise multiples. Cependant, ces derniers sont encombrants et peu esthétiques.Lés current dwellings moreover e more electrical appliances which require numerous sockets and in particular multiple outlet boxes. However, these are bulky and unattractive.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient on a proposé des prises multiples constituées d'un bloc monté coulissant dans une cavité aménagée dans une paroi et qui sont rendues escamotables de manière à être accessibles uniquement en position de sortie du bloc et dissimulées en cas de non-utilisation dans la position escamotée du bloc.To overcome this drawback, multiple sockets have been proposed which consist of a block mounted to slide in a cavity arranged in a wall and which are made retractable so as to be accessible only in the block's exit position and concealed in the event of non-use. in the retracted position of the block.
Toutefois, ces prises escamotables sont complexes et peu fonctionnelles et d'une manipulation peu aisée.However, these retractable sockets are complex and not very functional and not very easy to handle.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une prise multiple escamotable permettant d'être manipulée, aisément tout en offrant à 1 'utilisateur une bonne sécurité de onσtionne ent.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a retractable multiple socket making it possible to be manipulated easily while offering the user good security on onion.
Le dispositif de prise multiple escamotable selon la présente invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il est constitué d'une pièce cylindrique creuse destinée à être solidarisée par dés moyens de solidarisation dans une cavité pratiquée dans une paroi et d'un bloc cylindrique escamotable comportant dans sa paroi cylindrique des prises de courant, lequel bloc est monté coulissant dans ladite pièce creuse et est susceptible d'être maintenu dans une position de sortie permettant une utilisation desdites prises de courant et en ce qu'il comporte des moyens de verrouillage du bloc en position, escamoté autorisant la sortie de ce dernier uniquement après avoir effectué une rotation axiale dudit bloc en position escamotée.The retractable multiple outlet device according to the present invention is essentially characterized in that it consists of a hollow cylindrical piece intended to be secured by means of attachment in a cavity formed in a wall and of a retractable cylindrical block comprising in its cylindrical wall of sockets, which block is slidably mounted in said hollow part and is capable of being maintained in an exit position allowing use of said sockets and in that it comprises means for locking the block in position, retracted allowing the exit of the latter only after having carried out an axial rotation of said block in the retracted position.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentielle de 1 ' invention les moyens de verrouillage du bloc en position escamotée sont constitués d'au moins un ergot, solidarisé sur la surface cylindrique externe dudit bloc, assujetti à une gorge en forme de L pratiquée longitudinalement dans la face interne de la pièce cylindrique creuse.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the means for locking the block in the retracted position consist of at least one lug, secured to the external cylindrical surface of said block, subject to an L-shaped groove formed longitudinally in the face. internal of the hollow cylindrical part.
Le bloc de prise multiple pourra comporter une prise électrique sur sa face frontale de manière à pouvoir utiliser le dispositif, en position escamotée du bloc, à l'instar d'une prise classique.The multiple outlet block may include an electrical outlet on its front face so as to be able to use the device, in the retracted position of the block, like a conventional outlet.
Le dispositif de prise multiple selon la présente invention pourra comprendre un moyen de rappel du bloc en position escamotée. Le maintien du bloc en position de sortie sera alors avantageusement réalisé par la ou les prises de courant connectées aux prises de courant accessibles uniquement en position de sortie de ce dernie .The multiple gripping device according to the present invention may include a means for returning the block to the retracted position. Maintaining the block in the output position will then advantageously be achieved by the outlet (s) connected to the electrical outlets accessible only in the outlet position of the latter.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel du moyen de rappel, celui-ci présentera la forme d'un ressort hélicoïdal et sera . solidarisé en amont des prises multiples d'une part à là paroi interne de la pièce creuse et d'autre part à la paro interne du bloc coulissant tandis que les deux points de solidarisation dudit ressort seront de préférence décalés angulairement par rapport à 1 ' axe longitudinale du bloc escamotable.In a preferred embodiment of the return means, it will have the shape of a helical spring and will be. secured upstream of the multiple sockets on the one hand to the inner wall of the hollow part and on the other hand to the inner wall of the sliding block while the two securing points of said spring will preferably be angularly offset with respect to the axis longitudinal of the retractable block.
Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

FIG. 7 represents a perspective view of the device according to the present invention in a particular embodiment of its means of attachment in the cavity made for this purpose in a wall.
Si on se réfère à la figure 1 on peut voir qu'un dispositif de prise multiple escamotable selon la présente invention est constitué d'un bloc 1 de forme cylindrique monté coulissant dans une pièce tubulaire 2 qui est destiné à être solidarisé dans une cavité 20 pratiquée dans une paroi murale 21.Referring to Figure 1 we can see that a retractable multiple gripping device according to the present invention consists of a block 1 of cylindrical shape slidably mounted in a tubular part 2 which is intended to be secured in a cavity 20 practiced in a wall 21.
La solidarisation du bloc 1 dans la cavité 20 peut être réalisé au moyen de griffes, non représentées, ixées sur sa paroi cylindrique ou par 1 ' intermédiaire d'un tube 1 ' , comme on peut le voir sur la figure 7, comprenant dés griffes 10', dont une seule est représentée sur la figure, fixées sur sa paroi cylindrique externe, lequel tube l' étant destiné à recevoir le bloc 1.The attachment of the block 1 in the cavity 20 can be achieved by means of claws, not shown, fixed on its cylindrical wall or by means of a tube 1 ′, as can be seen in FIG. 7, including claws 10 ', of which only one is shown in the figure, fixed to its external cylindrical wall, which tube being intended to receive the block 1.
Ce dernier est maintenu fixement en rotation dans le tube l' au moyen de deux ailettes 11', diamétralement opposées, solidarisées longitudinalement à la paroi externe du bloc 1 et destinées à être introduites chacune dans une glissière 12' solidarisée à la paroi interne du tube 1 ' .The latter is fixedly kept in rotation in the tube l 'by means of two fins 11', diametrically opposite, secured longitudinally to the outer wall of the block 1 and intended to be introduced each in a slide 12 'secured to the inner wall of the tube 1 '.
On peut voir que les glissières 12' sont formées d'une pièce métallique allongée 12' de section en U solidarisée longitudinalement à la paroi interne du tube l'. Par ailleurs, le bloc 1 est maintenu fixement en translation axiale dans le tube l' grâce à des moyens de blocage consistant par exemple en deux vis 13 ' , dont une seulement est représentée sur la figure, vissées chacune dans un orifice 14' pratiqué dans l'un des côtés longitudinaux 15' de la glissière 12' correspondante jusqu'à venir dans une réservation 19' pratiquée dans l'ailette 11' insérée dans la glissière 12' pour bloquer 1 'ailette 11 ? en position dans la glissière 12 ' .It can be seen that the slides 12 'are formed from an elongated metal part 12' of U-shaped cross-section secured longitudinally to the internal wall of the tube l '. Furthermore, the block 1 is fixedly maintained in axial translation in the tube 1a by means of blocking means consisting for example of two screws 13 ', only one of which is shown in the figure, each screwed into an orifice 14' formed in one of the longitudinal sides 15 'of the corresponding slide 12' until it comes into a reservation 19 'made in the fin 11' inserted in the slide 12 'to block the fin 11 ? in position in the slide 12 '.
Les orifices 14' destinés à recevoir les vis 13' sont pratiqués à proximité de l'ouverture d'entrée 16' du tube 1 ' et leur axe 17 ' est incliné par rapport aux glissières 12 ' de manière à permettre un accès aux vis 13 ' en vue de leur manoeuvrement une fois le bloc 1 inséré dans le tube 1 ' . Les orifices 14' sont inclinés en découpant dans la paroi longitudinale 15' de la glissière 12' une section 18' comprenant l'orifice 14' puis en pliant la section 18' latéralement vers l'extérieur de la glissière 12' correspondante.The holes 14 'intended to receive the screws 13' are made near the inlet opening 16 'of the tube 1' and their axis 17 'is inclined relative to the slides 12' so as to allow access to the screws 13 'for their operation once the block 1 inserted in the tube 1'. The orifices 14 'are inclined by cutting in the longitudinal wall 15' of the slide 12 'a section 18' comprising the orifice 14 'and then folding the section 18' laterally outward from the corresponding slide 12 '.
On peut voir également sur la figure 7 que le bord de l'ouverture d'entrée 16' du tube l' comporte une couronne 2' permettant de fermer l'espace situé entre le tube 1 ' et la paroi de la cavité 20 destinée à recevoir le tube l' et que des orifices 20' sont pratiqués dans la couronne 2' pour permettre l'accès à la vis, non visible, de manoeuvrement de la griffe 10' correspondante au moyen d'un outil 21' .It can also be seen in FIG. 7 that the edge of the inlet opening 16 ′ of the tube l ′ comprises a crown 2 ′ which makes it possible to close the space located between the tube 1 ′ and the wall of the cavity 20 intended to receive the tube l 'and that orifices 20' are made in the crown 2 'to allow access to the screw, not visible, for operating the corresponding claw 10' by means of a tool 21 '.
Si on se réfère à nouveau à la figure 1 on peut voir que la pièce 1 escamotable comporte des prises de courant femelles 10 réparties régulièrement sur sa surface cylindrique tandis que sa face avant est fermée et intègre une prise de courant femelle 12.If we refer again to FIG. 1, we can see that the retractable part 1 comprises female power sockets 10 distributed regularly over its cylindrical surface while its front face is closed and incorporates a female power outlet 12.
Ainsi en position de sortie du bloc 1 escamotable, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 1 et sur la figure 2, le dispositif selon la présente invention peut être utilisé comme prise multiple tandis que dans une position escamotée, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, il peut être utilisé comme une prise électrique murale classique grâce à la prise de courant 12. En position escamotée du bloc 1 la prise de courant 12 est alors apparente et accessible tandis que les autres prises de courants 10 logées dans la face cylindrique sont complètement dissimulées.Thus in the retractable block 1 exit position, as shown in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 2, the device according to the present invention can be used as a multiple socket while in a retracted position, as can be seen in the figure 3, it can be used as a wall outlet conventional thanks to the socket 12. In the retracted position of the block 1 the socket 12 is then visible and accessible while the other sockets 10 housed in the cylindrical face are completely concealed.
On peut voir sur la figure 2 que le bloc 1 est rappelé en position escamotée dans la pièce tubulaire 2 au moyen d'un ressort de rappel hélicoïdal 3 situé en amont des prises de courant 10 et solidarisé à l'une de ses extrémités 11 à la paroi interne du bloc 1 tandis que l'autre extrémité 11' est solidarisée à la paroi interne de la pièce tubulaire 2, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4.It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the block 1 is returned to the retracted position in the tubular part 2 by means of a helical return spring 3 located upstream from the electrical outlets 10 and secured at one of its ends 11 to the internal wall of the block 1 while the other end 11 ′ is secured to the internal wall of the tubular part 2, as can be seen in FIG. 4.
Le bloc 1 comporte sur sa face cylindrique un ergot 13 qui s'étend dans une gorge 22 en forme de L pratiquée longitudinalement dans la face interne de la pièce tubulaire 2. Ainsi en position escamotée du bloc 1, comme on peut le voir à la figure 5, l'ergot 13 se trouve situé dans la partie transversale de la gorge formant la base du L ce qui a pour effet de bloquer en sortie le bloc 1. Celui-ci est alors autorisé en sortie uniquement après avoir effectué une rotation axiale du bloc 1, par exemple à l' aide d'une prise de courant mâle 4, formant une poignée, telle qu'une prise de terre, enfichée dans la prise de courant 12 frontale du bloc 1, la rotation étant limitée par ia longueur de la base du L. La sortie du bloc 1 est rendue possible en effectuant une traction sur la poignée 4 ce qui a pour effet d'entraîner en coulissement le bloc 1 jusqu'à ce que l'ergot 13 vienne en butée contre 1 'extrémité libre de la branche longitudinale de la gorge 22 (figure 4) correspondant à la position de sortie du bloc 1 où les prises multiples 10 sont accessibles.The block 1 has on its cylindrical face a lug 13 which extends in an L-shaped groove 22 formed longitudinally in the internal face of the tubular part 2. Thus in the retracted position of the block 1, as can be seen in the FIG. 5, the lug 13 is located in the transverse part of the groove forming the base of the L, which has the effect of blocking the block 1 at exit. The latter is then authorized at exit only after having carried out an axial rotation of block 1, for example using a male socket 4, forming a handle, such as an earth socket, inserted in the front socket 12 of block 1, the rotation being limited by the length from the base of L. The exit from block 1 is made possible by pulling on handle 4 which has the effect of causing block 1 to slide until the lug 13 comes into abutment against 1 ' free end of the longitudinal branch of the groove 22 (FIG. 4) corres laying in the exit position of block 1 where multiple sockets 10 are accessible.
Le maintien du bloc 1 en position de sortie peut être réalisé au moyen des prises mâles 10' enfichées dans les prises femelles 10 intégrées dans la paroi cylindrique du bloc 1, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1. Le retour en position escamoté est réalisé automatiquement, après enlèvement de toutes les prises mâles 10', enfichées dans les prises femelles 10 de la paroi cylindrique du bloc 1, grâce au ressort de rappel 3 qui agit tant sur le coulissement du bloc 1 que sur la rotation de ce dernier en phase finale de la rentrée du bloc 1 pour amener l'ergot 13 à l'extrémité libre de la branche transversale de la gorge 22, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 5. Pour faciliter le passage de l'ergot 13, lors de la rentrée du bloc 1, de la branche longitudinale à la branche transversale l'arrête interne 22' reliant les deux branches du L est arrondie.Maintaining the block 1 in the output position can be achieved by means of the male sockets 10 'plugged into the female sockets 10 integrated in the cylindrical wall of the block 1, as can be seen in FIG. 1. The return to the retracted position is carried out automatically, after removal of all the male sockets 10 ′, plugged into the female sockets 10 of the cylindrical wall of the block 1, thanks to the return spring 3 which acts both on the sliding of the block 1 and on the rotation of the latter in the final phase of the return of the block 1 to bring the lug 13 to the free end of the transverse branch of the groove 22, as shown in Figure 5. To facilitate the passage of the lug 13, during the re-entry of the block 1, from the longitudinal branch to the transverse branch the internal stop 22 'connecting the two branches of the L is rounded.
En outre, de manière à conférer au ressort 3 une force de rappel suffisante pour permettre l rentrée du bloc 1, les deux extrémités 11,11' du ressort 3 sont décalées par rapport à l'axe 14 du dispositif et le ressort 3 suit la courbure de la surface externe d'un élément cylindrique 15 qui a pour effet, pour un déplacement du bloc 1, notamment en rotation axiale, de courber le ressort et d'augmenter son allongement et ainsi d'obtenir une force de rappel supérieure et une meilleure rentrée du bloc 1 en position escamotée. L'élément 15 permet donc de maintenir la puissance du ressort 3 notamment lors de la rotation axiale du bloc 1 en phase finale de sa rentrée permettant son verrouillage.In addition, so as to give the spring 3 a sufficient return force to allow the retraction of the block 1, the two ends 11, 11 ′ of the spring 3 are offset with respect to the axis 14 of the device and the spring 3 follows the curvature of the outer surface of a cylindrical member 15 which has the effect, for a block of the movement 1, in particular in axial rotation, yard b er the spring and increase its elongation and thus to hold o b a force of superior reminder and better re-entry of u b loc 1 in the retracted position. The element 15 therefore makes it possible to maintain the power of the spring 3 in particular during the axial rotation of the block 1 in the final phase of its reentry allowing it to be locked.
L'élément 15 peut être une pièce cylindrique ou un secteur de cylindrique, comme représenté sur les figures. En outre, le câble électrique 5 qui alimente les prises de courant 10 traverse l'élément 15 et est ainsi protégé par ce dernier des frottements avec les autres pièces et notamment avec le ressort 3.The element 15 can be a cylindrical part or a cylindrical sector, as shown in the figures. In addition, the electric cable 5 which supplies the electrical outlets 10 passes through the element 15 and is thus protected by the latter from friction with the other parts and in particular with the spring 3.
Par ailleurs on remarquera sur la figure 2 que l'élément 15 est incliné de manière à limiter les frottements avec le ressort 3 lors de la rentrée et de la sortie du bloc 1. Furthermore, it will be noted in FIG. 2 that the element 15 is inclined so as to limit the friction with the spring 3 during the re-entry and exit of the block 1.
