Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connection device waterproof comprising a plug or the like intended to be connected with an outlet constituting the base of an outlet or outlet mobile of an extension or a connector.
- the inventor had the merit of questioning this principle and to ensure sealing by means of a single seal arranged, unlike to known art, on the base and only on it, hereinafter referred to taken for the reasons of generalization mentioned above.
- the inventor proposes a device for electrical connection of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is in particular remarkable in that the socket housing has on its edge front an annular groove intended to receive an annular seal which protrudes from said groove in the axial direction while the cover and respectively the plug housing have surfaces support intended to come into contact with the seal in the closed position of the cover and respectively in the coupled position of the plug.
- the bearing surfaces of the cover and the plug housing are beveled annular surfaces.
- the annular groove has a rectangular section as well as a flat interior rim on which comes opposite a corresponding part of the cover or of the housing respectively the plug in the closed position of said cover and respectively in coupled position of the plug, while the outer wall of the annular groove extends from the flat inner rim of said throat.
- the extension of the outer wall the annular groove is also flared from back to front over at least most of its periphery, allowing the joint to deform.
- the seal has a section general rectangular bevelled at its front end.
- the casing 1 more particularly of a socket outlet
- the casing 2 a plug (figure 2) intended to be plugged in to connect in said base.
- a locking system in connection position here in the form of a hook 3 intended to engage with a corresponding part of the sheet ( Figure 2).
- the casing 1 of the base is further provided with a cover 4 (Figure 1) which is articulated at 5 opposite the hook 3.
- the cover 4 is therefore pivotally mounted, as shown in the Figure 1 (see the various positions shown in dashed lines), and can be locked in the closed position by means of the hook 3 already intended to lock the plug in the connection position, as already said.
- groove 6 has a section rectangular with a flat inner rim 8 arranged in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the base and an extension 9 of its wall outer which flares from rear to front (references only shown in Figure 2 for clarity).
- the seal 7 inserted in the groove 6 projects in the direction longitudinal with respect to the flange 8.
- the section of the joint 7 which is of generally rectangular shape present at its end, a double bevel.
- the cover 4 (FIG. 1) and the casing 2 of the plug ( Figure 2) each have a surface bevelled ring 10 and 11 respectively connected inwards by a surface 12 and 13 respectively arranged in a perpendicular plane to the axis of the cover and the plug.
- Beveled surfaces 10 and 11, as shown in the drawings, converge inward from back to front.
- seal 6 may not be beveled or beveling only on one side.
- the casing 1 can be that of a base electrical outlet, but also that of a mobile outlet intended for connect either to a connector base or to an extension plug, hence the general expression used, as already said, taken, while also generalizing the plug which can therefore constitute the base a connector.
