Eine solche Federkraftklemme ist aus dem Dokument DE 295 14 509 U1 bekannt. In dieser Ausführung ist die Klemmfeder ein geschlossenes oder sogar verschlungenes Gebilde. Zum einen ist hierdurch eine aufwendige Herstellung der Klemmfeder bedingt. Zum anderen ergibt sich eine schwierige Montage, weil die einander überlappenden oder einander durchgreifenden Endabschnitte der Klemmfeder ein Zusammenfügen mit dem Strombalken, insbesondere ein Durchstecken der Strombalkenzunge durch das in dem betreffenden Endschenkel vorgesehene Fenster behindern.Such a spring clamp is from document DE 295 14 509 U1 known. In this version the clamping spring is on closed or even intertwined structure. On the one hand is a complex manufacture of the clamping spring conditionally. Secondly, there is a difficult assembly, because they overlap or penetrate each other End sections of the clamping spring joining together with the Current bar, in particular inserting the current bar tongue by that provided in the relevant end leg Obstruct windows.
Eine ähnliche Klemmfeder einer Federkraftklemme ist aus dem Dokument DE 196 14 977 A1 bekannt, siehe den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Zwischen dem auf dem Strombalken aufliegenden Auflagerschenkel und einem sich darüber hinweg erstreckenden Federschenkel ist bei dieser Klemmfeder das Biegegelenk angeordnet, welches sich über einen Kreisbogen von mehr als 180 Grad erstreckt. Dieses Biegegelenk befindet sich an einer Stelle der Klemmfeder, die von ihrem Endschenkel am einen Ende und ihrem Endabschnitt am anderen Ende entfernt liegt, indem es an den inneren, unfreien Abschnitt des Auflagerschenkels sowie an den inneren Bereich des mehrfach geschwungenen Federschenkels der Klemmfeder anschließt. Die Endschenkel der Klemmfeder, die sich hier an den freien Enden des Auflagerschenkels und des Federschenkels befinden, sind in Richtung aufeinander zu gebogen und sind einander benachbart angeordnet.A similar clamp spring of a spring clamp is from the Document DE 196 14 977 A1 known, see the preamble of claim 1. Between the on the Current bar support legs and one yourself overlying spring leg is in this Clamping spring arranged the flexure, which over extends an arc of more than 180 degrees. This Bending joint is located at one point of the clamping spring, that of its end leg at one end and its end portion on the other end by attaching to the inner, unfree section of the support leg as well the inner area of the multi-curved spring leg the clamping spring connects. The end legs of the clamp spring, which are here at the free ends of the support leg and the spring leg are towards each other to be bent and are arranged adjacent to each other.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Federkraftklemme der vorgenannten Art zu schaffen, die einfacher aufgebaut und leichter zu montieren ist.The invention has for its object a spring clip of the aforementioned type to create the simpler and is easier to assemble.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Federkraftklemme der gattungsgemäßen Art nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Klemmfeder im Bereich ihres Biegegelenks im wesentlichen in Form eines sich über mehr als einen Halbkreisbogen erstrekkenden Kreisbogenabschnittes zu einem einseitig offenen Ring gebogen ist und der Endschenkel sowie der Endabschnitt der Klemmfeder in Richtung voneinander weg sowie von der Offenseite des etwa kreisbogenförmigen Biegegelenks weggebogen sind und die Zunge sowie das Widerlager des Strombalkens in daran angepaßter Lage angeordnet sind, wobei der mit dem Fenster versehene Endschenkel der Klemmfeder etwa in Richtung einer Tangente an den über die Offenseite des Biegegelenks hinweg verlängerten Kreisbogen angeordnet ist.This task is the generic type in a spring-cage terminal Art solved according to the invention in that the Clamping spring in the area of its flexible joint essentially in Form of an extending over more than a semicircular arc Arc section to an open on one side Ring is bent and the end leg and the end section the clamping spring in the direction away from each other and from the Bent away from the approximately circular-shaped bending joint and the tongue as well as the abutment of the current bar are arranged in an adapted position, the end window of the clamping spring provided with the window, for example towards a tangent to the over the open side of the Bending joint extending arc is arranged.
Für die Erfindung ist die besondere Gestaltung der Klemmfeder wesentlich, die in ihrem zentralen Bereich in etwa als an einer Seite offener Ring ausgebildet ist, wodurch die voneinander weggebogenen Enden der Klemmfeder, also der das Fenster aufweisende Endschenkel und der Endabschnitt am anderen Klemmfederende, von Hand unter Verkleinerung der Offenseite des Biegegelenks zusammengedrückt werden können, damit man die Klemmfeder zwischen der Zunge und dem Widerlager des Strombalkens einhängen kann. Nach dem Loslassen weitet sich die Klemmfeder unter ihrer Federkraft auf und sichert sich unter Spannung selbsttätig zwischen der Strombalkenzunge und dem Widerlager. Zudem ergibt sich eine besonders einfache, fertigungsgünstige Gestalt der Klemmfeder, da es miteinander verschlungene oder ineinander eingerollte Federabschnitte nicht gibt. Für die Erzielung einer maximalen Klemmkraft ist der mit dem Fenster versehene Endschenkel der Klemmfeder etwa in Richtung einer Tangente an den über die Offenseite des Biegeschenkels hinweg theoretisch verlängerten Kreisbogen angeordnet.For the invention is the special design of the clamping spring essential, which in its central area roughly as Open ring is formed on one side, whereby the ends of the clamping spring bent away from one another, that is to say that End legs with windows and the end section at the other Clamping spring end, by hand while reducing the open side of the flexible joint can be compressed so that you have the clamping spring between the tongue and the abutment of the current bar can hang. After letting go the clamping spring expands under its spring force and secures itself automatically under tension between the current bar tongue and the abutment. There is also a special one simple, inexpensive shape of the clamping spring, because it is intertwined or curled up Spring sections are not there. For achieving one maximum clamping force is the end leg provided with the window the clamping spring approximately in the direction of a tangent theoretically across the open side of the bending leg elongated arc.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung nach der Erfindung erstreckt sich das zentrale Biegegelenk der Klemmfeder etwa entlang eines Dreiviertel-Kreises. Damit ergibt sich eine noch genügende Öffnungsweite an der Offenseite der Klemmfeder, um sie an ihren Ende bei der Montage zusammendrücken zu können. Im übrigen versteht es sich, daß genau genommen die Klemmfeder, die aus einem flachen Metallband geformt ist, nicht kreisbogenförmig sondern zylinderförmig ist, und es ist hier lediglich eine Grundrißgestalt der mit ihrer Bandbreite aufrechten Klemmfeder gemeint, die auch bei einem Zylinder kreisförmig ist.In an advantageous embodiment according to the invention the central bending joint of the clamping spring approximately along of a three-quarter circle. This results in a still sufficient Opening width on the open side of the clamping spring, um to be able to compress them at their end during assembly. Incidentally, it goes without saying that, strictly speaking, the Clamping spring, which is formed from a flat metal band, not cylindrical, but cylindrical, and it here is just a floor plan with its range upright clamping spring meant that also with a Cylinder is circular.
Zur räumlichen Anpassung innerhalb des Gehäuses der betreffenden Federkraftklemme kann es vorteilhaft sein, zwischen dem Biegegelenk und dem nach außen abgebogenen Endabschnitt am zweiten Ende der Klemmfeder einen im wesentlichen gerade verlaufenden Abschnitt anzuordnen, ohne daß hier der Grundgedanke der Erfindung verlassen wird. Im Hinblick auf eine raumsparende Anordnung ist es zweckmäßig, den Strombalken seitlich neben der Klemmfeder parallel zu der von deren Biegegelenk aufgespannten Kreisebene anzuordnen, wobei vom Strombalken sowohl eine Abwinklung als auch das Widerlager abgewinkelt ist.For spatial adjustment within the housing of the concerned Spring clamp it can be advantageous between the flexible joint and the end section bent outwards a substantially straight at the second end of the clamping spring to arrange the running section, without here the basic idea the invention is left. With a view to space-saving arrangement, it is appropriate to the current bar laterally next to the clamping spring parallel to that of their Arrange bending joint spanned circular plane, from Current bar both a bend and the abutment is angled.
Die Betätigung der Klemmfeder erfolgt bei der erfindungsgemäßen Federkraftklemme durch Druck auf das freie Ende des das Fenster aufweisenden Endschenkels der Klemmfeder, der entsprechend in tangentialer Richtung zur Kreisbogenform des Biegegelenks der Klemmfeder erfolgt. Damit die Klemmfeder sowohl beim Einfedern als auch insbesondere beim Rückfedern ihre vorbestimmte Lage beibehält, können am Strombalken besondere Formschlußsicherungen vorgesehen werden. Zum einen kann hierzu am Strombalken selbst oder an seiner Abwinklung ein bis über die Breite der Klemmfeder hinweg vorstehendes Stützteil mit einer Führungskontur für den Eingriff der Klemmfeder angeordnet werden. Zum anderen sieht man bei der Ausführung des Widerlagers in Gestalt einer vom Strombalken abgewinkelten Lasche an deren Anlageseite eine an den Endabschnitt der Klemmfeder angepaßte Aufnahmekontur vor.The clamping spring is actuated in the case of the invention Spring clamp by pressing on the free end of the the window having the end leg of the clamping spring, the accordingly in the tangential direction to the circular arc shape of the bending joint of the clamping spring. So that the clamping spring both when compressing and especially when rebounding maintains their predetermined position, can on the current bar special form locking devices are provided. On the one hand, this can be done on the current bar itself or on its Angling up to the width of the clamping spring protruding support part with a guide contour for the Engagement of the clamping spring can be arranged. On the other hand can be seen in the execution of the abutment in the form of a tab angled from the current bar on its contact side one adapted to the end portion of the clamp spring Contour in front.

Im einzelnen zeigt Fig. 1 ein Klemmengehäuse 1, in dem eine
Mehrzahl von Federkraftklemmen angeordnet ist. Jede dieser
Federkraftklemmen ist in einem Hohlraum 2 in dem Gehäuse 1
untergebracht, wobei die Einführung des jeweils zu klemmenden
elektrischen Leiters durch seitlich an dem Gehäuse 1
angeordnete Öffnungen 3 erfolgt. Bei der dargestellten,
stehenden Anordnung ist jeweils von unten her in den betreffenden
Hohlraum 2 des Gehäuses 1 ein Strombalken 4 eingeführt,
an dem eine vorgespannte Klemmfeder 5 angeordnet
ist. Der Strombalken 4 und die Klemmfeder 6, so wie sie in
Fig. 1 zu erkennen sind, stellen eine vormontierbare Einheit
dar, deren zwei Einzelteile in den Figuren 2 und 3
wiedergegeben sind.1 shows a terminal housing 1 in which a
A plurality of spring clips is arranged. Any of these
Spring-loaded terminals are in a
Wie insbesondere Fig. 2 kenntlich macht, hat die Klemmfeder
6 einen zentralen, gebogenen Bereich, der ein Biegegelenk 6
darstellt. Das Biegegelenk 6 hat die Grundform eines zu
Dreivierteln geschlossenen Ringes, der entsprechend eine
Öffnungsseite 7 hat, die je nachdem, ob die Klemmfeder 5
gespannt ist oder nicht, eine geringere oder eine größere
Weite hat. Die Biegung des Biegegelenks 6 verläuft im wesentlichen
entlang einem Kreisbogenabschnitt, wobei sich
Abweichungen von der exakten Kreisform ergeben können, was
mit davon abhängt, ob die Klemmfeder 5 eine mehr oder weniger
gespannte oder eine entspannte Lage einnimmt. In Fig. 2
ist die Klemmfeder 5 in entspannter Lage wiedergegeben,
während sie in der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Einbaulage sich
in einem vorgespannten Zustand befindet.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the clamping spring has
6 a central, bent area, which a
Die aus einem flachen Metallband, insbesondere Stahlband,
bestehende Klemmfeder 5 hat an ihrem einen Ende einen Endschenkel
8, der im wesentlichen in Richtung einer Tangente
verläuft, die auf die Kreisform des Biegegelenks 6 bezogen
ist, wenn man sich hier den Kreis über die Offenseite 7 der
Klemmfeder 5 hinweg vervollständigt denkt. Gegenüber dem
Biegegelenk 6 ist der Endschenkel 8 der Klemmfeder 5 nach
außen hin abgebogen, somit weist der Endschenkel 8 der
Klemmfeder 5 von der Offenseite 7 weg.The from a flat metal band, especially steel band,
existing
Im Endschenkel 8 der Klemmfeder 5 befindet sich ein Fenster
9, das an der zur Offenseite 7 des Biegegelenks 6 hin liegenden
Seite eine Stirnkante 12 als Klemmkante hat. In der
mit dem Strombalken 4 zusammengefügten Anordnung ragt durch
dieses Fenster 9 eine Strombalkenzunge 10 hindurch, wie in
Fig. 1 veranschaulicht ist. Diese Zunge 10 des Strombalkens
4 hat eine innere, bzw. untere Klemmseite 13, wie aus Fig.
3 hervorgeht. An dieser Klemmseite 13 der Strombalkenzunge
10 stützt sich die Klemmfeder 5 mit der Stirnkante 12 des
Fensters 9 im Endschenkel 8 unter der Federkraft ab, wobei
hier gegebenenfalls zwischen der Stirnkante 12 und der
Klemmseite 13 ein elektrischer Leiter festgeklemmt ist. Damit
ein solcher Leiter in die beschriebene Klemmlage eingeführt
werden kann, ist der Endschenkel 8 der Klemmfeder 5
etwa in Tangentialrichtung zum kreisbogenförmigen Biegegelenk
6 verschieblich, wozu das Fenster 9 im Endschenkel 8
eine längliche Gestalt hat, damit der Endschenkel 8 quer zu
der Strombalkenzunge 10 bewegt werden kann. Dadurch kommt
die Stirnkante 12 des Fensters 9 des Endschenkels 8 von der
Klemmseite 13 der Strombalkenzunge 10 frei, damit zwischen
diese beiden Klemmpartner der Leiter eingeführt werden
kann. Aufgrund des Verschiebens des Endabschnittes 8 spannt
sich die Klemmfeder 5 weiter, wobei sich die Weite der Offenseite
7 und ebenfalls der Durchmesser des Biegegelenks 6
entsprechend verringert. A window is located in the
Für die Klemmung und Abklemmung eines Leiters erfolgt das
Ein- oder Niederdrücken des Endschenkels 8 der Klemmfeder 5
von außen. Dazu ist im Gehäuse 1 ein Drückerknopf 23 mit
einem Führungsstück 24 verschieblich gelagert, wobei sich
die Klemmfeder 5 mit dem Stirnende ihres Endschenkels 8 an
diesem Führungsstück 24 des Drückerknopfs 23 abstützt, was
in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist.This is done for clamping and disconnecting a conductor
Pushing in or pushing down the
Der Hauptteil des Strombalkens 4 und die Klemmfeder 5 sind
seitlich nebeneinander angeordnet, im wesentlichen liegt
also der Hauptteil des Strombalkens 4 parallel zu derjenigen
Ebene, die von dem Kreisbogenabschnitt des Biegegelenks
6 der Klemmfeder 5 aufgespannt wird. Damit die Klemmfeder 5
von dem Strombalken 4 gehalten werden kann, stehen von dort
entsprechende Stützeinrichtungen in die vorerwähnte, von
der Kreisbogenform des Biegegelenks 6 der Klemmfeder 5 aufgespannten
Ebene vor. Dies erkennt man besonders gut in
Fig. 3. So ist die Strombalkenzunge 10 an einer das Biegegelenk
6 oben übergreifenden Abwinklung 11 angeordnet, die
vom Strombalken 4 rechtwinklig abgebogen ist und sich in
ihrer Längsrichtung etwa rechtwinklig zu dem Endschenkel 8
der Klemmfeder 5 in der zusammengefügten Lage erstreckt.
Zur Gegenabstützung hat die Klemmfeder 5 an ihrem zweiten
Ende einen Endabschnitt 14, der ebenfalls von der Offenseite
7 des Biegegelenks weg nach außen hin abgebogen ist.
Hiermit übergreift die Klemmfeder 5 in der Einbaulage ein
Widerlager 15, das die Gestalt einer rechtwinklig vom
Strombalken 4 abgebogenen Lasche hat. Der Endabschnitt 14
der Klemmfeder 5 übergreift die nach oben hin liegende
Schmalseite des Widerlagers 15, und hier ist eine Aufnahmekontur
16 in der Breite des Endabschnitts 14 der Klemmfeder
5 vorgesehen, der für eine formschlüssige Aufnahme in Querrichtung
des Endabschnittes 14 der Klemmfeder 5 sorgt. Je
nach der räumlichen Lage des Widerlagers 15 am Strombalken
4 kann sich zwischen dem kreisförmig gebogenen Biegegelenk
6 und dem Endabschnitt 14 der Klemmfeder 5 ein gerade verlaufender
Abschnitt 17 befinden, um bei vorgegebener Krümmung
des die Klemmfeder 5 bildenden Metallstreifens im Bereich
des Biegegelenks 6 eine ausreichende Weite der Offenseite
7 sicherzustellen.The main part of the
Eine ähnliche Formschlußsicherung oder -führung kann im
seitlichen Scheitelbereich des Biegegelenks 6 für die
Klemmfeder 5 vorgesehen werden. Dazu ist an den Strombalken
4 selbst oder an seine Abwinklung 11 ein Stützteil 18 vorstehend
angeformt, welches seitlich am Biegegelenk 6 der
Klemmfeder 5 vorbeireicht und eine größere Breite als die
Klemmfeder 5 hat. Am freien Ende dieses Stützteils 18 ist
auf der dem Biegegelenk 6 zugekehrten Seite eine Aufnahmekontur
