Description

1. Domaine de l'invention1. Field of the invention

La présente technique se rapporte au domaine du câblage électrique. Plus précisément, la présente technique se rapporte au domaine du rechargement électrique par câble. La présente technique se rapporte encore plus particulièrement au rechargement électrique d'un dispositif de paiement électronique comprenant deux connecteurs.The present technique relates to the field of electrical wiring. More specifically, the present technique relates to the field of electric charging by cable. The present technique relates even more particularly to the electric charging of an electronic payment device comprising two connectors.

2. Art antérieur2. Prior Art

Traditionnellement, le règlement des biens et services au sein d'un point de vente est réalisé par l'intermédiaire d'un terminal de paiement connecté à une caisse enregistreuse ou un ordinateur.Traditionally, the payment of goods and services within a point of sale is made via a payment terminal connected to a cash register or a computer.

Récemment se sont développés des dispositifs de paiement électroniques mobiles associant dos-à-dos un terminal de paiement avec un terminal de communication, en particulier un téléphone portable ou un terminal de communication intelligent (« smartphone » en anglais). De tels dispositifs de paiement électroniques sont particulièrement utilisés dans le cas de commerce itinérant ou de commerce organisé en magasin. Par exemple, un commerçant accompagnant un client au sein d'un point de vente avec un tel dispositif de paiement électronique en main, peut valider les produits (ou services) choisis par le client au travers d'une application hébergée sur le terminal de communication. Lorsque le client souhaite finaliser ses achats le commerçant lui présente alors aussitôt le terminal de paiement, adossé au terminal de communication, pour effectuer le règlement.Recently developed mobile electronic payment devices associating back-to-back a payment terminal with a communication terminal, in particular a mobile phone or a smart communication terminal ("smartphone" in English). Such electronic payment devices are particularly used in the case of itinerant trade or in-store organized trade. For example, a merchant accompanying a customer within a point of sale with such an electronic payment device in hand, can validate the products (or services) chosen by the customer through an application hosted on the communication terminal. . When the customer wishes to finalize his purchases the merchant then presents him immediately the payment terminal, backed by the communication terminal, to make the payment.

De tels dispositifs de paiement électroniques mettent généralement en oeuvre un terminal de paiement classique, au dos duquel est fixé un logement formant un étui dans lequel s'insère le terminal de communication. On connaît ainsi de la demande FR2968433 un tel dispositif de paiement électronique. Un tel dispositif comprend un lecteur de carte à puce, comprenant un logement apte à recevoir et maintenir un terminal de communication portable et comprenant des moyens de connexion avec ce terminal de communication portable, et des moyens de traitement de données aptes à recevoir des informations relatives à un paiement et à échanger des données avec un serveur distant, via une communication téléphonique mise en oeuvre par ledit terminal de communication portable. Un tel dispositif comprend un logement d'insertion du terminal de communication. Ce logement d'insertion comprend une trappe, qui permet d'insérer et de retirer le terminal de communication par translation. La partie inférieure du terminal de communication (celle qui comprend un connecteur femelle, par exemple un connecteur micro USB ou tout autre connecteur de ce type) est insérée dans le logement puis en poussant la partie supérieure du terminal de communication, celui-ci est complètement inséré dans le logement prévu à cet effet. La trappe est ensuite fermée. Lorsqu'elle est enfoncée au fond du logement, le connecteur femelle du terminal de communication est enfiché dans un connecteur maie correspondant.Such electronic payment devices generally implement a conventional payment terminal, on the back of which is fixed a housing forming a case into which the communication terminal is inserted. We thus know of the demand FR2968433 such an electronic payment device. Such a device comprises a smart card reader, comprising a housing adapted to receiving and maintaining a portable communication terminal and comprising means of connection with this portable communication terminal, and data processing means able to receive information relating to a payment and to exchange data with a remote server, via a communication telephone implemented by said portable communication terminal. Such a device comprises an insertion housing of the communication terminal. This insertion housing comprises a hatch, which allows to insert and remove the communication terminal by translation. The lower part of the communication terminal (the one that includes a female connector, for example a micro USB connector or any other connector of this type) is inserted into the slot and then pushing the upper part of the communication terminal, the latter is completely inserted in the housing provided for this purpose. The hatch is then closed. When it is depressed at the bottom of the housing, the female connector of the communication terminal is plugged into a corresponding maie connector.

Différents types de terminaux de communication peuvent être utilisés : il suffit pour cela de disposer de différents logements respectivement adaptés à ces différents types de terminaux : la partie adaptative, qui correspond au logement d'insertion, est conformée pour un certain type de terminal. Un tel logement peut donner accès à une carte électronique interne de connexion comprenant :

  • un premier connecteur interne, permettant de connecter la carte au connecteur du terminal de paiement ;
  • un deuxième connecteur interne permettant de connecter la carte au connecteur du terminal de communication ; et
  • un troisième connecteur externe permettant de connecter la carte à un dispositif externe.
Different types of communication terminals may be used: it suffices for this to have different housings respectively adapted to these different types of terminals: the adaptive part, which corresponds to the insertion slot, is shaped for a certain type of terminal. Such a housing can give access to an internal electronic connection card comprising:
  • a first internal connector for connecting the card to the terminal of the payment terminal;
  • a second internal connector for connecting the card to the connector of the communication terminal; and
  • a third external connector for connecting the card to an external device.

Cette carte électronique de connexion est utilisée pour connecter le terminal de communication et le terminal de paiement entre eux. Il s'agit d'une connexion physique et la carte est à l'intérieur du boitier. En particulier, ces connecteurs permettent de connecter l'intégralité du dispositif à un câble de rechargement électrique (par exemple un câble USB), raccordé à une source électrique (par exemple un ordinateur), afin de recharger à la fois le terminal de paiement et le terminal de communication, comme cela est décrit dans la demande FR2968433 .This electronic connection card is used to connect the communication terminal and the payment terminal to each other. This is a physical connection and the card is inside the case. In particular, these connectors allow the entire device to be connected to an electric charging cable (for example a USB cable), connected to an electrical source (for example a computer), in order to recharge both the payment terminal and the communication terminal. as described in the application FR2968433 .

Un inconvénient majeur de ces dispositifs de paiement électroniques mobiles est qu'ils sont peu évolutifs : lorsqu'un nouveau type de terminal de communication apparaît, ils ne sont plus compatibles avec ce nouveau type de terminal de communication mis sur le marché postérieurement à la mise sur le marché de ces dispositifs de paiement électroniques. Par exemple, du fait de l'évolution des réglementations et des technologies, la plupart de ces nouveaux terminaux de communication sont aujourd'hui munis d'un connecteur de rechargement plus ou moins standardisé, possédant un nombre de broches réduit. (On peut citer à titre d'exemple les terminal de communications de type Apple© dans lesquels l'ancien connecteur à 30 broches a été remplacé par un nouveau connecteur à 8 broches, ou les terminal de communications de type Android© dans lesquels un connecteur micro-USB s'est progressivement imposé).A major disadvantage of these mobile electronic payment devices is that they are not very evolutive: when a new type of communication terminal appears, they are no longer compatible with this new type of communication terminal placed on the market after the launch. on the market for these electronic payment devices. For example, due to the evolution of regulations and technologies, most of these new communication terminals are today equipped with a reload connector more or less standardized, with a reduced number of pins. (As an example, Apple-type communications terminals in which the old 30-pin connector has been replaced by a new 8-pin connector, or the Android-type communications terminal in which a connector micro-USB has gradually imposed itself).

Ainsi ces nouveaux types de terminaux de communication ne sont plus compatibles avec le connecteur de la carte électronique de connexion. Il n'est ainsi plus possible, comme c'était le cas antérieurement, de recharger simultanément le terminal de communication et le terminal de paiement, via la carte électronique de connexion, à l'aide d'un seul câble.Thus these new types of communication terminals are no longer compatible with the connector of the electronic connection card. It is thus no longer possible, as was the case previously, to simultaneously recharge the communication terminal and the payment terminal, via the electronic connection card, using a single cable.

Des solutions ont été imaginées pour adapter ces dispositifs de paiement électroniques mobiles aux évolutions des terminaux de communication, notamment:

  • en supprimant la carte de connexion interne ; et
  • en proposant un nouveau format de logement du terminal de communication. Ce nouveau remplace l'ancien logement sans qu'il soit nécessaire de remplacer l'intégralité du dispositif de paiement électronique.
Solutions have been devised to adapt these mobile electronic payment devices to the evolutions of the communication terminals, in particular:
  • removing the internal connection card; and
  • by proposing a new housing format of the communication terminal. This new one replaces the old housing without it being necessary to replace the entire electronic payment device.

Cependant, ce nouveau logement ne règle pas la question du rechargement électrique du terminal de paiement et du terminal de communication. Dès lors le dispositif dispose de deux connecteurs : un connecteur pour le terminal de paiement et un connecteur pour le terminal de communication. Le nouveau dispositif de paiement (formé par le terminal de paiement et le nouveau logement) comprend à son extrémité deux orifices destinés à recevoir d'une part, une fiche de rechargement du terminal de communication, et d'autre part, une fiche de rechargement du terminal de paiement.However, this new housing does not solve the issue of electrical charging of the payment terminal and the communication terminal. Therefore the device has two connectors: a connector for the payment terminal and a connector for the communication terminal. The new payment device (formed by the payment terminal and the new housing) comprises at its end two orifices intended to receive, on the one hand, a reloading plug of the communication terminal and, on the other hand, a recharging card the payment terminal.

Il est alors nécessaire d'utiliser deux câbles de rechargement électrique au lieu d'un seul auparavant, et de les insérer dans deux orifices proches l'un de l'autre. Cette manipulation s'avère peu pratique et sujette à problème : comment s'assurer, plus particulièrement, que les deux fiches sont correctement insérées dans les deux connecteurs, comment éviter que les câbles s'emmêlent, etc.It is then necessary to use two electric charging cables instead of one before, and to insert them into two orifices close to each other. This manipulation proves impractical and problematic: how to ensure, in particular, that the two plugs are correctly inserted into the two connectors, how to prevent the cables get entangled, and so on.

3. Exposé de l'invention3. Presentation of the invention

La présente technique propose un moyen ergonomique et simple pour surmonter les inconvénients des solutions de l'art antérieur.The present technique provides an ergonomic and simple way of overcoming the disadvantages of the solutions of the prior art.

À cet effet, la technique proposée concerne un dispositif de solidarisation de câbles de rechargement électrique d'un appareil électronique, un tel appareil électronique comportant deux connecteurs, chaque connecteur étant connectable à une fiche de rechargement.For this purpose, the proposed technique relates to a device for joining electric charging cables to an electronic device, such an electronic device comprising two connectors, each connector being connectable to a recharging card.

Le dispositif de solidarisation comprend :

  • une première portion de connexion à un premier connecteur, et
  • une deuxième portion munie d'un logement d'insertion d'un câble de connexion dédiée à un deuxième connecteur,
la première portion et ladite deuxième portion étant solidarisées par des moyens de solida risation.The fastening device comprises:
  • a first connection portion to a first connector, and
  • a second portion provided with a housing for inserting a connection cable dedicated to a second connector,
the first portion and said second portion being secured by means of solidarization.

Un tel dispositif de solidarisation de câbles permet l'insertion simultanée de deux fiches dans les deux connecteurs de l'appareil électronique. Il facilite et accélère la manipulation, notamment dans le cas de connecteurs rapprochés. En effet, sans l'aide du dispositif, les câbles devraient être connectés un à un à l'appareil électronique, le deuxième câble étant d'autant plus difficile à insérer du fait de la proximité des connecteurs.Such a device for securing cables allows the simultaneous insertion of two plugs in the two connectors of the electronic device. It facilitates and speeds up handling, especially in the case of close connectors. Indeed, without the aid of the device, the cables should be connected one by one to the electronic device, the second cable being all the more difficult to insert because of the proximity of the connectors.

L'agencement du dispositif en deux portions permet notamment de faciliter la mise en place d'un câble dans le logement d'insertion de la deuxième portion. Par ailleurs, un tel câble peut être modifié selon les besoins, de manière à correspondre au connecteur correspondant de l'appareil électronique.The arrangement of the device in two portions makes it possible in particular to facilitate the introduction of a cable into the insertion housing of the second portion. Moreover, such a cable can be modified according to the needs, so as to correspond to the corresponding connector of the electronic device.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, les moyens de solidarisation comprennent une rainure en té formée sur la surface supérieure de la première portion, et une languette formée sur la surface inférieure de la deuxième portion.According to a particular characteristic, the securing means comprise a tee groove formed on the upper surface of the first portion, and a tongue formed on the lower surface of the second portion.

Ceci permet à la languette de la deuxième portion d'être insérée dans la rainure de la première portion par un mouvement de coulissement. La complémentarité de la rainure et de la languette assure le maintien en position de la première portion par rapport à la deuxième portion.This allows the tongue of the second portion to be inserted into the groove of the first portion by a sliding movement. The complementarity of the groove and the tongue ensures that the first portion is held in position relative to the second portion.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la première portion comprend des premiers moyens de mise en butée avec la deuxième portion, et la deuxième portion comprend des seconds moyens de mise en butée avec la première portion.According to a particular characteristic, the first portion comprises first abutment means with the second portion, and the second portion comprises second abutment means with the first portion.

Ainsi, la première et la deuxième portion viennent en butée l'une contre l'autre, permettant la mise en position de la deuxième portion par rapport à la première portion, c'est-à-dire l'alignement du bord proximal (le plus proche de la fiche de rechargement) de la première portion avec le bord proximal de la deuxième portion. Ceci garantit que les deux fiches de rechargement soient correctement positionnées lors de leur insertion simultanée dans les connecteurs de l'appareil électronique.Thus, the first and the second portion abut one against the other, allowing the positioning of the second portion relative to the first portion, that is to say the alignment of the proximal edge (the closer to the refill sheet) of the first portion with the proximal edge of the second portion. This ensures that the two recharging cards are correctly positioned when they are simultaneously inserted into the connectors of the electronic device.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le logement d'insertion d'un câble est formé traversant entre un bord distal et un bord proximal de la deuxième portion.According to one particular feature, the insertion housing of a cable is formed passing between a distal edge and a proximal edge of the second portion.

Le câble est ainsi inséré au travers de la deuxième portion, dans le sens de sa longueur, de manière à ce que la fiche de rechargement du câble soit présentée dans une position adaptée au connecteur correspondant de l'appareil électronique.The cable is thus inserted through the second portion, in the direction of its length, so that the charging plug of the cable is presented in a position adapted to the corresponding connector of the electronic device.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le logement d'insertion d'un câble comprend un premier évidement adapté pour guider le câble et un deuxième évidement adapté pour recevoir une tête du câble.According to a particular feature, the insertion housing of a cable comprises a first recess adapted to guide the cable and a second recess adapted to receive a cable head.

De cette manière, le câble et la tête de câble sont maintenus fermement emboîtés dans les évidements, ce qui permet un positionnement approprié en hauteur et en profondeur de la fiche par rapport au connecteur du dispositif de paiement.In this way, the cable and the cable head are held firmly nested in the recesses, which allows appropriate positioning in height and depth of the plug relative to the connector of the payment device.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le premier évidement et le deuxième évidement sont coaxiaux.According to a particular characteristic, the first recess and the second recess are coaxial.

Le câble et la tête de câble sont ainsi alignés l'un à la suite de l'autre de façon rectiligne.The cable and the cable head are thus aligned one after the other rectilinearly.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la languette comporte une fente sur sa longueur, débouchant sur le premier évidement et le deuxième évidemment.According to a particular feature, the tongue has a slot along its length, opening on the first recess and the second obviously.

Cette fente débouchante permet au câble d'être inséré dans le logement ménagé dans la deuxième portion.This open slot allows the cable to be inserted into the housing formed in the second portion.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le dispositif de solidarisation de câbles de rechargement électrique est fait d'un matériau souple.According to a particular characteristic, the device for joining electric charging cables is made of a flexible material.

La souplesse du matériau permet notamment de faciliter le passage du câble dans la deuxième portion, en ce que la fente débouchante peut être élargie de manière suffisante pour recevoir le diamètre du câble. Par ailleurs, cet élargissement de la fente force les côtés de la languette à se relever vers l'extérieur, permettant que les deux portions soient maintenues serrées l'une contre l'autre lors de l'insertion de la languette de la deuxième portion dans la rainure de la première portion.The flexibility of the material allows in particular to facilitate the passage of the cable in the second portion, in that the open slot can be widened sufficiently to receive the diameter of the cable. Furthermore, this expansion of the slot forces the sides of the tongue to rise outwards, allowing the two portions to be held tight against each other during the insertion of the tongue of the second portion into the groove of the first portion.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la première portion comprend une première fiche de rechargement adaptée pour se connecter au premier connecteur.According to a particular characteristic, the first portion comprises a first recharging card adapted to connect to the first connector.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la première portion comprend un câble intégré muni d'une fiche USB.According to a particular characteristic, the first portion comprises an integrated cable provided with a USB plug.

Le rechargement du dispositif électronique peut se faire simplement par ordinateur, en connectant la fiche USB à un port USB d'un ordinateur.The reloading of the electronic device can be done simply by computer, by connecting the USB plug to a USB port of a computer.

5. Description d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention5. Description of an embodiment of the invention 5.1. Principe général5.1. General principle

Le principe général de la présente technique consiste à faciliter le rechargement électrique d'un appareil électronique, comportant deux connecteurs connectables chacun à une fiche de rechargement, au moyen d'un dispositif de solidarisation de câbles de rechargement. De manière plus précise, cette solidarisation est effectuée à proximité des fiches de connexion (les fiches qui s'insèrent dans les connecteurs femelles). Un tel dispositif permet d'une part de s'assurer d'une connexion optimale des deux fiches des deux câbles dans les connecteurs femelles correspondant. Un tel dispositif permet également d'assurer que les câbles ne s'entremêlent pas entre eux. Un tel dispositif permet d'insérer les deux fiches des deux câbles de manière simultanée. Un tel connecteur assure que lorsqu'une des deux fiches est correctement insérée, l'autre est également correctement insérée.The general principle of the present technique is to facilitate the electric recharging of an electronic device, comprising two connectors each connectable to a recharging card, by means of a connection device for charging cables. More specifically, this fastening is performed near the connection plugs (the plugs that fit into the female connectors). Such a device makes it possible on the one hand to ensure an optimal connection of the two plugs of the two cables in the corresponding female connectors. Such a device also ensures that the cables do not intermingle with each other. Such a device makes it possible to insert the two plugs of the two cables simultaneously. Such a connector ensures that when one of the two plugs is correctly inserted, the other is also correctly inserted.

Un tel dispositif de solidarisation de câbles comprend deux portions:

  • une première portion de connexion à un premier connecteur; et
  • une deuxième portion munie d'un logement d'insertion d'un câble de connexion dédié à un deuxième connecteur.
Such a device for securing cables comprises two portions:
  • a first connection portion to a first connector; and
  • a second portion provided with a housing for inserting a connection cable dedicated to a second connector.

La première portion peut être également munie d'un logement d'insertion de câble, afin de recevoir un câble de rechargement adapté au deuxième connecteur.The first portion may also be provided with a cable insertion housing to receive a charging cable adapted to the second connector.

La première portion et la deuxième portion sont rendues solidaires grâce à des moyens de solidarisation, de la famille des clips, des vis, des systèmes de pièces mâle et femelle, etc.The first portion and the second portion are secured by means of securing means, family of clips, screws, male and female parts systems, etc.

La disposition des deux portions est adaptée à la disposition des connecteurs de l'appareil électronique, la première portion faisant ainsi face au premier connecteur, la deuxième portion faisant face au deuxième connecteur.The arrangement of the two portions is adapted to the arrangement of the connectors of the electronic device, the first portion thus facing the first connector, the second portion facing the second connector.

Dans le cas où les deux connecteurs sont situés côte-à-côte ou l'un au-dessus de l'autre, le dispositif permet une connexion simultanée et facilitée à ces deux connecteurs.In the case where the two connectors are located side-by-side or one above the other, the device allows a simultaneous and facilitated connection to these two connectors.

Par la suite, un mode de réalisation spécifique de l'invention est décrit. Il est évident, cependant, que l'invention n'est nullement limitée à ce mode de réalisation. Les avantages procurés par ce dispositif de l'invention peuvent être obtenus avec d'autres formes, d'autres moyens de solidarisation. La base de la technique proposée étant de disposer d'un dispositif permettant de solidariser deux câbles de rechargement, de type identique (micro USB) ou de type différent (Micro Usb et Lightning par exemple), au niveau de fiches de ces deux câbles (on précise que la fiche d'un câble correspond à la portion du câble comprenant le connecteur mâle). Ainsi, tout type d'agencement et de configuration présentant ces caractéristiques pour chargement ou l'alimentation électrique simultanée de deux connecteurs joints l'un à l'autre ou proches l'un de l'autre est visé par la présente technique.Subsequently, a specific embodiment of the invention is described. It is obvious, however, that the invention is in no way limited to this embodiment. The advantages provided by this device of the invention can be obtained with other forms, other securing means. The basis of the proposed technique is to have a device for securing two charging cables, identical type (micro USB) or different type (Micro Usb and Lightning for example), at the plugs of these two cables ( it is specified that the plug of a cable corresponds to the portion of the cable comprising the male connector). Thus, any type of arrangement and configuration having these characteristics for charging or simultaneous power supply of two connectors joined to each other or close to each other is covered by the present technique.

5.2 Description d'un mode de réalisation5.2 Description of an embodiment

Les figures 1 et 2 présentent un dispositif (1) de solidarisation de câbles de rechargement électrique d'un appareil électronique (2), en particulier un dispositif de paiement électronique associant dos-à-dos un terminal de paiement (21) et un terminal de communication (22).The Figures 1 and 2 have a device (1) for connecting electric charging cables to an electronic device (2), in particular an electronic payment device associating back-to-back a payment terminal (21) and a communication terminal (22) .

Un tel dispositif de paiement électronique, comme représenté partiellement sur la figure 1 , comprend deux connecteurs (211, 221), un premier connecteur (211) étant associé au terminal de paiement (21), un deuxième connecteur (221) étant associé au terminal de communication (22).Such an electronic payment device, as shown partially on the figure 1 Comprises two connectors (211, 221), a first connector (211) being associated with the payment terminal (21), a second connector (221) being associated with the communication terminal (22).

Le terminal de paiement (21) et le terminal de communication (22) peuvent respectivement être rechargés par la connexion de ces connecteurs (211, 221) avec des fiches de rechargement.The payment terminal (21) and the communication terminal (22) can respectively be recharged by connecting these connectors (211, 221) with recharging cards.

Comme le présentent les figures 1 et 6 , ces deux connecteurs (211, 221) sont placés côte-à-côte, rendant l'insertion des deux fiches de rechargement respectives peu aisée.As presented by figures 1 and 6 , These two connectors (211, 221) are placed side by side, making the insertion of the two respective charging pins not easy.

La technique proposée permet de pallier cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif (1) de solidarisation de câbles comprenant deux portions complémentaires (3, 4) s'assemblant pour solidariser les câbles et leurs fiches de rechargement correspondantes et faciliter leur connexion avec les deux connecteurs (211, 221).The proposed technique makes it possible to overcome this drawback by proposing a device (1) for securing cables comprising two portions. complementary (3, 4) assembling to secure the cables and their corresponding reloading plugs and facilitate their connection with the two connectors (211, 221).

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, un premier câble (5) muni d'une première fiche (51) de rechargement, est intégré à la première portion (3). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la première portion (3) peut être munie d'un logement d'insertion d'un câble, afin de recevoir différents types de câbles, pour différents types de connecteurs d'appareils électroniques. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, la première portion (3) ressemble alors à la deuxième portion (4).In the embodiment described, a first cable (5) provided with a first plug (51) for recharging, is integrated with the first portion (3). In another embodiment, the first portion (3) may be provided with a cable insertion housing for receiving different types of cables for different types of electronic device connectors. In such an embodiment, the first portion (3) then resembles the second portion (4).

Ces deux portions (3, 4) complémentaires sont représentées en perspective sur les figures 2 et 3 . Une première portion (3) comporte une rainure en « té » (31) sur une partie de la longueur de sa surface supérieure, cette rainure (31) permettant de guider en coulissement une languette (41) de forme complémentaire formée sur la surface inférieure d'une deuxième portion (4).These two complementary portions (3, 4) are represented in perspective on the figures 2 and 3 . A first portion (3) has a "tee" groove (31) on a portion of the length of its upper surface, this groove (31) for slidingly guiding a tongue (41) of complementary shape formed on the lower surface a second portion (4).

La première portion (3) forme sensiblement un pavé de longueur 25mm, de largeur 15mm, et de hauteur 8mm dans le mode de réalisation décrit. La rainure (31) s'étend sur environ 15mm sur la longueur de la première portion (3), comme illustré par l'ensemble de vues de la figure 4 . Cette rainure (21) prend une forme de « té », s'étendant sur environ 12mm sur la largeur de la première portion (3).The first portion (3) substantially forms a pad of length 25mm, width 15mm, and height 8mm in the embodiment described. The groove (31) extends about 15mm along the length of the first portion (3), as illustrated by the set of views of the figure 4 . This groove (21) takes a shape of "tee", extending about 12mm over the width of the first portion (3).

La deuxième portion (4) forme également sensiblement un pavé de longueur 20mm, de largeur 15mm et de hauteur 8mm comme l'illustre l'ensemble de vues de la figure 5 . La languette (41), de forme en « té » complémentaire à la forme de la rainure (31) s'étend sur environ 15mm sur la longueur de la deuxième portion (4) et 12mm sur la largeur de cette deuxième portion (4).The second portion (4) also substantially forms a pad of length 20mm, width 15mm and height 8mm as illustrated by the set of views of the figure 5 . The tongue (41), shaped "tee" complementary to the shape of the groove (31) extends about 15mm along the length of the second portion (4) and 12mm over the width of this second portion (4) .

La forme et les dimensions des deux portions (3, 4) sont données ici en correspondance avec le mode de réalisation particulier décrit. Elles ne sont bien entendu pas limitatives.The shape and dimensions of the two portions (3, 4) are given here in correspondence with the particular embodiment described. They are of course not limiting.

La première portion (3) comprend des moyens de mise en butée contre la deuxième portion (4), et la deuxième portion (4) comprend des moyens de mise en butée contre la première portion (3). En effet, la rainure (31) est formée non-débouchante sur le bord proximal (32) de la première portion (3), formant ainsi un premier épaulement (34). On appelle ici bords proximaux, les bords des portions les plus proches des fiches de rechargement. Par opposition, on appelle bords distaux les bords des portions opposés aux bords proximaux, c'est-à-dire les plus éloignés des fiches de rechargement. La languette (41) est quant à elle formée non-débouchante sur le bord distal (43) de la deuxième portion (4), formant ainsi un deuxième épaulement (44).The first portion (3) comprises means for abutment against the second portion (4), and the second portion (4) comprises means for setting stop against the first portion (3). Indeed, the groove (31) is non-emergent formed on the proximal edge (32) of the first portion (3), thereby forming a first shoulder (34). Here we call proximal edges, the edges of the nearest portions of the reloading cards. By contrast, the edges of the portions opposite to the proximal edges, that is to say the farthest from the recharging cards, are called distal edges. The tongue (41) is non-emergent formed on the distal edge (43) of the second portion (4), thus forming a second shoulder (44).

Ainsi, les deux épaulements (34, 44) permettent de mettre en position les deux portions (3, 4) l'une par rapport à l'autre, à la fin du guidage en coulissement de la languette (41) de la deuxième portion (4) dans la rainure (31) de la première portion (3). L'extrémité proximale de la languette (41) entre en butée contre le premier épaulement (34), alors qu'au même moment, l'extrémité distale de la rainure (31) entre en butée contre le deuxième épaulement (44).Thus, the two shoulders (34, 44) make it possible to position the two portions (3, 4) relative to one another at the end of the sliding guide of the tongue (41) of the second portion. (4) in the groove (31) of the first portion (3). The proximal end of the tongue (41) abuts against the first shoulder (34), while at the same time, the distal end of the groove (31) abuts against the second shoulder (44).

Cette double butée (34, 44) permet un positionnement précis de la première portion (3) de et la deuxième portion (4) l'une par rapport à l'autre : c'est-à-dire que le bord proximal (32) de la première portion (3) est aligné avec le bord proximal (42) de la deuxième portion (4), comme représenté sur la figure 2 . Cet alignement assure que la connexion des deux portions aux deux connecteurs (211, 221) du dispositif de paiement électronique soit simultanée et fonctionnelle.This double stop (34, 44) allows a precise positioning of the first portion (3) of and the second portion (4) relative to each other: that is to say that the proximal edge (32 ) of the first portion (3) is aligned with the proximal edge (42) of the second portion (4), as shown in FIG. figure 2 . This alignment ensures that the connection of the two portions to the two connectors (211, 221) of the electronic payment device is simultaneous and functional.

La deuxième portion (4) du dispositif (1) est munie d'un logement (45) d'insertion d'un câble (6), comme le présente les vues des figures 2 et 3 . Ce logement (45) traverse la deuxième portion (4) sur sa longueur, depuis son bord distal (43) jusqu'à son bord proximal (42).The second portion (4) of the device (1) is provided with a housing (45) for insertion of a cable (6), as shown in the views of the figures 2 and 3 . This housing (45) crosses the second portion (4) along its length from its distal edge (43) to its proximal edge (42).

Comme illustré sur la figure 5 , ce logement (45) est formé de deux évidements adjacents et coaxiaux (451, 452), un premier évidement (451) réceptionnant et guidant le câble (6) inséré, un deuxième évidement (452) réceptionnant la tête (61) du câble. Cette tête (61) de câble comprend une fiche de rechargement (62) enveloppée dans une gaine de protection formée dans le même matériau que la gaine du câble (6).As illustrated on the figure 5 , This housing (45) is formed of two adjacent and coaxial recesses (451, 452), a first recess (451) réceptionnant and guiding the cable (6) inserted, a second recess (452) réceptionnant the head (61) of the cable . This cable head (61) includes a plug reloading (62) wrapped in a protective sheath formed of the same material as the cable sheath (6).

Les dimensions des évidements sont adaptées respectivement au diamètre du câble (6) et aux dimensions de la tête (61) de câble, afin que ces derniers soient emboîtés dans le logement (45). Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, le premier évidement (451) possède un diamètre sensiblement égal à 4,5mm et s'étend sur 12mm environ. Le deuxième évidement (452) mesure approximativement 7mm de long, 8mm de large et 5mm de haut.The dimensions of the recesses are adapted respectively to the diameter of the cable (6) and to the dimensions of the cable head (61), so that the latter are nested in the housing (45). In the embodiment described, the first recess (451) has a diameter substantially equal to 4.5 mm and extends about 12 mm. The second recess (452) is approximately 7mm long, 8mm wide and 5mm high.

Le deuxième évidement (452) possède des dimensions permettant un positionnement de la deuxième fiche de rechargement (62) de manière appropriée en profondeur et en hauteur de manière à s'insérer dans le connecteur (221) du dispositif de paiement électronique.The second recess (452) has dimensions for positioning the second recharging plug (62) appropriately in depth and height so as to fit into the connector (221) of the electronic payment device.

L'insertion du câble (6) dans le logement (45) de la deuxième portion (4) est rendue possible par la présence d'une fente (46) ménagée sur la longueur de la languette (41) et débouchant sur les deux évidements (451, 452). Cette fente, légèrement plus étroite que le premier évidement (451) de guidage de câble peut être élargi pour laisser passer le câble (6) : pour cela, la première portion (3) et la deuxième portion (4) sont réalisées dans un matériau souple, de type plastique, de façon à être légèrement déformables. Par ailleurs, le premier évidement (451) possède un diamètre légèrement inférieur à celui du câble (6) : ainsi, lorsque le câble est en place, il entraîne un élargissement de la fente (46), du fait de la flexibilité du matériau de la deuxième portion (4), ce qui force les côtés de la languette (41) à se relever vers l'extérieur. Ainsi, lors de l'insertion de la languette (41) de la deuxième portion (4) dans la rainure (31) de la première portion (3), les deux portions (3, 4) sont maintenues serrées l'une contre l'autre.The insertion of the cable (6) in the housing (45) of the second portion (4) is made possible by the presence of a slot (46) formed along the length of the tongue (41) and opening on the two recesses (451, 452). This slot, slightly narrower than the first cable guide recess (451) can be widened to allow the cable (6) to pass through: for this, the first portion (3) and the second portion (4) are made of a material flexible, plastic type, so as to be slightly deformable. Furthermore, the first recess (451) has a diameter slightly smaller than that of the cable (6): thus, when the cable is in place, it causes the slot (46) to widen, because of the flexibility of the material of the second portion (4), which forces the sides of the tongue (41) to rise outward. Thus, during the insertion of the tongue (41) of the second portion (4) in the groove (31) of the first portion (3), the two portions (3, 4) are held tight against each other. 'other.

Le processus de mise en place du dispositif (1) de solidarisation de câbles est décrit en lien avec la figure 6 . The process of setting up the device (1) for securing cables is described in connection with the figure 6 .

Dans un premier temps, un câble (6), comportant une tête de câble (61) munie d'une fiche de rechargement (62), est inséré dans le logement (45) de la deuxième portion (4) par l'intermédiaire de la fente (46). Le maintien du câble et la mise en position précise de la tête de câble (61) et de la fiche (62) dans le logement (45) sont assurés par un mouvement de coulissement du câble (flèche 1).Firstly, a cable (6), comprising a cable head (61) provided with a recharging plug (62), is inserted into the housing (45) of the second portion (4) through the slot (46). The holding of the cable and the precise positioning of the cable head (61) and the plug (62) in the housing (45) are provided by a sliding movement of the cable (arrow 1).

Dans un deuxième temps, la languette (41) de la deuxième portion (4) est insérée dans la rainure (31) de la première portion (3) par un mouvement de coulissement (flèche 2). Les deux portions (3, 4) viennent alors en butée l'une contre l'autre grâce aux deux épaulements (34, 44). Cette mise en position effectuée, les deux fiches de rechargement (51, 62) se trouvent dans une disposition leur permettant de s'insérer de manière appropriée et opérationnelle dans les deux connecteurs (211, 221) du dispositif de paiement électronique (2).In a second step, the tongue (41) of the second portion (4) is inserted into the groove (31) of the first portion (3) by a sliding movement (arrow 2). The two portions (3, 4) then abut against each other through the two shoulders (34, 44). With this positioning in place, the two reloading cards (51, 62) are in an arrangement enabling them to fit appropriately and operationally into the two connectors (211, 221) of the electronic payment device (2).

Dans un troisième temps, les deux fiches de rechargement (51, 62) sont insérées simultanément (flèche 3) dans les deux connecteurs (211, 221) ; la première fiche (51) se connectant au connecteur (211) du terminal de paiement (21); la deuxième fiche (62) se connectant au connecteur (221) du terminal de communication (22). Le rechargement électrique des deux terminaux (21, 22) est ainsi simultané.In a third step, the two recharging cards (51, 62) are inserted simultaneously (arrow 3) in the two connectors (211, 221); the first plug (51) connecting to the connector (211) of the payment terminal (21); the second plug (62) connecting to the connector (221) of the communication terminal (22). The electric recharging of the two terminals (21, 22) is thus simultaneous.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la deuxième portion (4) peut être adaptée en fonction du terminal de communication (22) à recharger. Les figures 7A et 7B présentent à titre d'exemple deux types de deuxième portion (70, 80) correspondant à deux types de terminaux de communication. Ces deux types de terminaux de communication ont par exemple une épaisseur différente, ce qui entraîne une variation de la position en hauteur de leur connecteur de rechargement. Les deux types de deuxième portion (70, 80) présentés par les figures 7A et 7B diffèrent en ce que le logement (71, 81) d'insertion de câble est positionné à une hauteur différente. Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, la position de la fiche de rechargement (72, 82) associée au câble inséré dans le logement (71, 81) varie ainsi de 1mm en hauteur.In a particular embodiment, the second portion (4) can be adapted according to the communication terminal (22) to be recharged. The Figures 7A and 7B present as examples two types of second portion (70, 80) corresponding to two types of communication terminals. These two types of communication terminals have for example a different thickness, which causes a variation of the height position of their recharging connector. The two types of second portion (70, 80) presented by Figures 7A and 7B differ in that the cable insertion housing (71, 81) is positioned at a different height. In the embodiment described, the position of the reloading plug (72, 82) associated with the cable inserted into the housing (71, 81) thus varies by 1mm in height.

La figure 8 illustre un mode de réalisation particulier dans lequel le rechargement du terminal de paiement se fait par ordinateur. Plus précisément, le rechargement se fait par voie USB. Pour cela, la première portion (3) présente un câble (9) solidarisé à cette première portion (3), un tel câble étant muni à son extrémité d'une fiche USB (91) apte à se connecter avec le port USB d'un ordinateur.The figure 8 illustrates a particular embodiment in which the reloading of the payment terminal is done by computer. More specifically, the reloading is done via USB. For this, the first portion (3) has a cable (9) secured to this first portion (3), such a cable being provided at its end with a USB plug (91) adapted to connect with the USB port of a computer.
