CONNECTEUR COMPORTANT UNE EMBASE ANTI-VANDALE
ET UNE FICHE COOPERANTE
La présente invention concerne un connecteur comportant une embase anti-vandale et une fiche coopérante, cette embase étant destinée à être montée à demeure dans un endroit public tel qu'une cabine téléphonique publique, tandis que la fiche est susceptible d'appartenir à un appareil informatique portatif possédé par une personne, embase et fiche comportant respectivement des éléments de connexion reliés à un câblage respectif et propres à venir en contact respectivement les uns avec les autres pour connecter momentanément et mutuellement les deux câblages.CONNECTOR COMPRISING AN ANTI-VANDAL BASE
AND A COOPERATING SHEET
The present invention relates to a connector comprising a vandal-resistant base and a cooperating plug, this base being intended to be permanently mounted in a public place such as a public telephone booth, while the plug is likely to belong to a device portable computing possessed by a person, base and plug respectively comprising connection elements connected to a respective cabling and suitable for coming into contact respectively with each other to connect the two cabling momentarily and mutually.
L'embase peut constituer par exemple la prise périinformatique d'une cabine téléphonique, permettant la transmission des données mémorisées par un appareil informatique portatif. The base can constitute for example the perinformatic socket of a telephone booth, allowing the transmission of the data memorized by a portable computing device.
C'est pour cette raison que l'embase doit être conçue pour résister au vandalisme. A ce titre, la fiche ne fait pas l'objet d'attentions particulières puisqu'elle sera détenue par le possesseur du périphérique à connecter. It is for this reason that the base must be designed to resist vandalism. As such, the plug is not subject to particular attention since it will be owned by the owner of the device to be connected.
A cet effet, un connecteur conforme à l'invention sera essentiellement caractérisé en ce que lesdits éléments de connexion de l'embase ne sont accessibles de l'extérieur que par la surface frontale de leurs extrémités, venant en affleurement sur la surface frontale d'une matière isolante dans laquelle ces éléments sont noyés. To this end, a connector according to the invention will be essentially characterized in that said connection elements of the base are accessible from the outside only by the front surface of their ends, coming flush with the front surface of an insulating material in which these elements are embedded.
Ainsi, l'embase ne comporte ni anfractuosités susceptibles d'être bouchées, ni protubérances sensibles au martèlement. Thus, the base has neither crevices capable of being blocked, nor protrusions sensitive to hammering.
De préférence, lesdits éléments de connexion de la fiche sont constitués chacun d'une tige rappelée vers l'extérieur par un ressort, et dont l'extrémité frontale, lors de l'application de la fiche sur l'embase, est destinée à venir prendre un appui élastique sur la surface frontale de l'élément de connexion correspondant de 1 'embase. Preferably, said plug connection elements each consist of a rod biased towards the outside by a spring, and the front end of which, when the plug is applied to the base, is intended to come take an elastic support on the front surface of the corresponding connection element of the base.
De préférence encore, les surfaces frontales desdits éléments de connexion de l'embase sont des surfaces circulaires concentriques et lesdits éléments de connexion de la fiche ont des écartements radiaux, par rapport au centre de la fiche, correspondants. More preferably, the front surfaces of said connection elements of the base are concentric circular surfaces and said connection elements of the plug have corresponding radial spacings, relative to the center of the plug.
Ainsi, on peut disposer d'un assez grand nombre d'éléments de connexion sur l'embase, et d'autant d'éléments sur la fiche, sans avoir à prendre aucune précaution spéciale d'orientation de la fiche par rapport à l'embase, pour la réalisation des contacts respectifs entre ces éléments de connexion. Thus, one can have a fairly large number of connection elements on the base, and as many elements on the plug, without having to take any special precautions to orient the plug with respect to the base, for the realization of the respective contacts between these connection elements.
Avantageusement, l'embase et la fiche comportent sur leurs faces en regard des profils complémentaires, notamment en forme de tronc de cône, pouvant s'emboiter l'un sur l'autre pour réaliser les mises en contact. Advantageously, the base and the plug have on their opposite faces complementary profiles, in particular in the form of a truncated cone, which can be fitted one on the other to bring them into contact.
Avantageusement encore, au moins l'un des deux organes coopérants - embase ou fiche - comporte un aimant permanent propre à agir sur une masse magnétique de l'autre organe pour maintenir la fiche appliquée sur l'embase, ce qui facilite grandement la connexion ou la déconnexion de la fiche, sans autre manoeuvre que la simple application de cette fiche sur l'embase. Advantageously also, at least one of the two cooperating members - base or plug - comprises a permanent magnet capable of acting on a magnetic mass of the other member to hold the plug applied to the base, which greatly facilitates connection or the disconnection of the plug, without any other operation than the simple application of this plug on the base.
Un mode d'exécution de l'invention va maintenant être décrit à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif, avec référence aux figures du dessin annexé dans lequel - la figure 1 est une vue en bout de la surface de l'embase ; - la figure 2 est une vue de l'embase, représentée en coupe par la ligne Il-Il de la figure 1 - la figure 3 est une vue en bout de la fiche - la figure 4 est une vue de la fiche, représentée en coupe par la ligne IV-IV de la figure 3 ; et - la figure 5 est une vue de détail montrant les extrémités extérieures des tiges constituant les éléments de connexion de la fiche. An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawing in which - Figure 1 is an end view of the surface of the base; - Figure 2 is a view of the base, shown in section by the line Il-Il of Figure 1 - Figure 3 is an end view of the plug - Figure 4 is a view of the plug, shown in section through line IV-IV of Figure 3; and - Figure 5 is a detail view showing the outer ends of the rods constituting the plug connection elements.
Sur les figures, l'embase a été référencée globalement en 1 et la fiche coopérante en 2. L'embase se présente sous la forme d'un boîtier en acier 3, fileté en 4, ce qui permet de l'assujettir sur la paroi 5 d'une cabine téléphonique ou analogue, grâce à un écrou de serrage 6, la paroi se trouvant enserrée entre l'écrou 6 et un épaulement tronconique extérieur 7 de l'embase. In the figures, the base has been generally referenced in 1 and the cooperating plug in 2. The base is in the form of a steel case 3, threaded in 4, which allows it to be secured to the wall 5 of a telephone booth or the like, by virtue of a tightening nut 6, the wall being sandwiched between the nut 6 and an external frustoconical shoulder 7 of the base.
Les éléments de connexion de l'embase, au nombre de trois dans cet exemple, sont constitués de masses métalliques circulaires et concentriques 8, 9, 10, par exemple en cuivre ou en alliage bon conducteur, lesquelles sont noyées dans une matière plastique de remplissage isolante 11. Ces éléments de connexion sont branchés sur des fûts à souder 12 propres à les relier au câblage correspondant (non représenté). The connection elements of the base, three in number in this example, consist of circular and concentric metallic masses 8, 9, 10, for example of copper or of a good conductive alloy, which are embedded in a plastic filling material. insulating 11. These connection elements are connected to soldering drums 12 suitable for connecting them to the corresponding wiring (not shown).
On voit bien, sur la figure 2, que les éléments 8, 9, 10 ne sont accessibles de l'extérieur que par la surface frontale S de leurs extrémités, en affleurement sur la surface frontale S' de la matière isolante 11, ce qui les préserve dans une grande mesure des actes de vandalisme et facilite leur nettoyage. It can be seen in FIG. 2 that the elements 8, 9, 10 are accessible from the outside only by the front surface S of their ends, flush with the front surface S 'of the insulating material 11, which to a great extent protects them from acts of vandalism and facilitates their cleaning.
Quant aux éléments de connexion de la fiche 2, référencés 8', 9' et 10', ils sont constitués par des tiges montées coulissantes dans le berceau 13 d'une demi-coquille isolante 14, pourvue d'un serre-câble 15. Ces tiges se terminent par des fûts de soudage 16 analogues aux fûts 12 et permettant le branchement aux brins du câble correspondant 17. Entre un épaulement 18 de ces tiges et une rondelle 19 est à chaque fois disposé un ressort hélicoidal 20 sollicitant ces tiges vers l'extérieur, de sorte que leurs extrémités 21 viennent affleurer la surface de base
S" d'une gorge tronconique 22 formée dans un aimant annulaire permanent 23.Cette gorge étant de forme complémentaire de la surface tronconique 7 de l'embase, on voit que la mise en contact des extrémités des éléments 8', 9', et 10' de la fiche respectivement avec les éléments 8, 9 et 10 de l'embase sera assurée de façon extrêmement simple par application de la fiche sur l'embase, étant entendu que les espacements radiaux des éléments 8', 9' et 10' correspondent exactement aux écartements respectifs des surfaces annulaires 8, 9 et 10. Il est à noter qu'a ce moment de la mise en contact, les ressorts sont comprimés et les extrémités 21 des tiges 8', 9' et 10' sont ramenées dans le plan référencé en S IH , alors confondu avec le plan
S, S' de l'embase.As for the connection elements of the plug 2, referenced 8 ', 9' and 10 ', they consist of rods slidably mounted in the cradle 13 of an insulating half-shell 14, provided with a cable clamp 15. These rods end with welding drums 16 similar to drums 12 and allowing connection to the strands of the corresponding cable 17. Between a shoulder 18 of these rods and a washer 19 is each time disposed a helical spring 20 urging these rods towards the outside, so that their ends 21 are flush with the base surface
S "of a frustoconical groove 22 formed in a permanent annular magnet 23. This groove being of complementary shape to the frustoconical surface 7 of the base, it can be seen that the contacting of the ends of the elements 8 ′, 9 ′, and 10 'of the plug respectively with the elements 8, 9 and 10 of the base will be ensured in an extremely simple manner by applying the plug to the base, it being understood that the radial spacings of the elements 8', 9 'and 10' correspond exactly to the respective spacings of the annular surfaces 8, 9 and 10. It should be noted that at this moment of contacting, the springs are compressed and the ends 21 of the rods 8 ', 9' and 10 'are brought back into the plan referenced in S IH, then confused with the plan
S, S 'of the base.
'La figure 5 montre que les extrémités des tiges de la fiche 2 peuvent comporter une petite denture améliorant les contacts, étant susceptible de traverser une mince couche oxydée à la surface des éléments de connexion 8, 9 et 10 de l'embase 1. 'Figure 5 shows that the ends of the rods of the plug 2 may have a small toothing improving the contacts, being capable of passing through a thin oxidized layer on the surface of the connection elements 8, 9 and 10 of the base 1.
