  • Patent number: 11670470
    Abstract: Stackable electric contact block including a casing that defines its volume, the casing having upper and lower faces for connecting the block to another component, the casing accommodating a screw for fixing the block to another component, and a press rod capable of moving from a rest position to an activation position for transferring a translation force to a component attached to the lower face of the casing, the press rod including an activation head in the form of a wedge capable of engaging with a push-button or a rotary knob, the casing including a cavity for guiding the press rod between its rest and activation positions, in which cavity the press rod is accommodated. A device for guiding the press rod into the guide cavity includes a guide tab accommodated in a matching guide slot passing through the activation head.

  • Patent number: 10473276
    Abstract: A device with a light signaling function including a light-emitting diode designed to emit a first light signal in a first wavelength range in the blue or the ultraviolet, conversion device arranged for converting the first light signal emitted by the light-emitting diode in the first wavelength range into a second light signal in a second wavelength range, a cap arranged for filtering the second light signal with a view to obtaining a color included in a standard color space. The conversion device being chosen so the second wavelength range includes the normal color space.

  • Patent number: 6472621
    Abstract: A switch assembly, particularly for a start-motor including a protection device and a contactor device, and an intermediate component for mechanical association and electrical interconnection between these two devices. The association component 30 has, to adapt a protection device 10 of fixed size to contactor devices 20 of different sizes, an adjustable part 36. The adjustable part 36 is located at the rear of the component 30, which it may be snapped onto in different positions staggered in depth, and offers a lock-on lug 35 located in the direction of the contactor device 20 and fitted with several support forms 39, 40 staggered in height.

  • Patent number: 6388894
    Abstract: A pre-wiring device creating a logic function such as an inverter function or a star-delta start function between at least two multi-pole contactors located side by side and used particularly in electrical control equipment of motors. A same pre-wiring device allows connections to be made in an identical way to several sizes of contactors which reduces accordingly the number of different terminal bars to be designed and manufactured. According to a characteristic of the invention, this pre-wiring device includes an upstream pre-wiring terminal bar 30 fitted with metal pins 31 to be inserted into the upstream wiring terminal blocks 11 of the contactors. The pre-wiring device also includes a downstream pre-wiring terminal bar.
