Abstract

Abstract The invention covers a continuous socket and a connecting plug thereof. The socket consists of a strip (1) made of insulating material provided with two internal housings (2,3) situated lengthwise and opposed, designed to enclose two electrical conductors (4 and 5), and a lengthwise opening (6) obtained on a face thereof and intended to gain access to these conductors. The plug designed to be used in conjunction with said socket consists of a container of insulating material, provided with four openings diametrally opposed two-by-two, where two bracket members are installed, each comprising an insulating and a conducting arm, the free ends of them protruding from said openings. The conducting ends are reclining type and can be brought back elastically from the protruding position by the action of pressure exerted simultaneously on the corresponding insulating ends of said bracket members.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 179 words
A continuous socket with a matching connecting plug characterized by the fact that it consists by a strip of insulating material comprising two interior longitudinal, opposite housings designed to enclose two electrical conductors,and a lengthwise opening obtained on a face thereof for gaining access to said housings, said connecting plug comprising: - a container made of insulating material having a peripheral edge on which four openings are formed in a two-by-two diametrally opposite relation; - a couple of bracket members situated on the same plane and having their fulcrum inside said container, each consisting of an arm of insulating material and an arm of conducting material, the free ends of said arms protruding from said openings; - means for electrically connecting said conductor arms and the applicance; - elastic means connected between said container and said bracket members for returning the last in protruding position when, subject to pressure on the free ends of said insulating arms, said bracket members are caused to pivot around their fulcrum so as to locate their conductor arms free ends inside said container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 179 words
A continuous socket with a matching connecting plug characterized by the fact that it consists by a strip of insulating material comprising two interior longitudinal, opposite housings designed to enclose two electrical conductors,and a lengthwise opening obtained on a face thereof for gaining access to said housings, said connecting plug comprising: - a container made of insulating material having a peripheral edge on which four openings are formed in a two-by-two diametrally opposite relation; - a couple of bracket members situated on the same plane and having their fulcrum inside said container, each consisting of an arm of insulating material and an arm of conducting material, the free ends of said arms protruding from said openings; - means for electrically connecting said conductor arms and the applicance; - elastic means connected between said container and said bracket members for returning the last in protruding position when, subject to pressure on the free ends of said insulating arms, said bracket members are caused to pivot around their fulcrum so as to locate their conductor arms free ends inside said container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
Continuous socket according to claim 1 consisting of prefabricated modular elements designed for end and/or corner electrical connection.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 64 words
Connecting pin intended to be used in conjuction with the socket according the above claims, wherein said container encloses a support plate of insulating material for pivotally mounting said bracket members on a paralel plane thereof, on the same plane said elastic means being located for connecting the elbows of said bracket members and corresponding pins located near two opposite angles of said plate.
