Abstract: The invention concerns a connector designed to be fitted to a multi-conductor cable and which comprises at least one socket, a cable grip formed by a portion connected to the socket and a free portion articulated on the connected portion, and assembly means. The assembly means comprise a lever articulated around an articulation axis, held by the socket and distant from the articulation axis of the grip, wherein this lever has a curved end that may exert on the external surface of the free portion of the grip a thrust force which solicits the grip when closing in response to the application, on the lever, of a rotational torque around the articulation axis.

Abstract: This device includes two connection units and a compensation circuit provided with tracks (4D, 6D) for connecting these units and with capacitive coupling between at least two of the tracks, including a conductor element (36) exhibiting a surface (49) including a portion opposite a surface of a section of a first of the tracks (4D) and another opposite a section of the second of the tracks (6D) with the conductor element (36) which is electrically insulated from the two tracks (4D, 6D).
Abstract: The invention relates to a device or connecting multi-conducting plugs that can be inserted into said device in respectively opposite directions. The device of the invention includes two sockets (1, 2) for receiving the plugs, an internal multi-conducting link (3) connecting the sockets, and a housing (4a, 4b) for maintaining the sockets in opposite directions, the internal link being in the form of a ply folded into a bayonet and having on both sides of an intermediate portion (33) two end portions (31, 32) physically connected to the respective inner faces (12, 22) of the sockets (1, 2).
Abstract: A cover plate (2) for electrical apparatus (1) includes at least one opening (22, 32) intended to provide access to at least one functional part (5) of the electrical apparatus and which is formed by superimposing a rear mounting plate (20, 30) fitted at the back with elements for mounting on an apparatus support (4) and a front finish plate (10) giving the cover plate an aesthetic appearance. The rear mounting plate includes on its front side a recessed housing (24) which completely houses the front finish plate, such that the front side (11) of the front finish plate extends flush with or is slightly back from the front side (21) of the rear mounting plate.
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for connecting with secure access, comprising a socket (1), a movable plug (non visible), a protective case (3) equipped with a mobile flap (4), and locking members. According to the invention, the locking members include a mobile latch (5), a runner (6), and a key (7) in order to maneuver the latch in the runner, the latch (5) being designed to retain the flap (4) in the closed configuration of the case (3), and in order to retain the plug in the state of use of this device.
Abstract: An electrical hook-up device including an outlet, a plug and a tight-seal casing with a cover and a shutter and enabling a tightly sealed hook-up of the plug in the outlet. The casing takes the form of an accessory removably mounted on the outlet, and the shutter of said casing is also movably mounted on the cover.
Abstract: The invention concerns a connector for an armoured cable, this connector comprising a socket body and a conductive earthing member, the socket body being designed to receive a multi-conductor plug and comprising a wall element conformed so as to be in contact with this plug, and the earthing member comprising a band gripping the armouring of the cable and an elongate element electrically connecting the band to the socket body. According to the invention, the elongate element is flexible and the band takes the form of an open elastic clamp designed so as to be forcibly fitted on the armouring of the cable.

Abstract: A connector includes an insert including contacts having free parts to receive homologous flat contacts of a plug. The insert further includes a rotation axis about which the insert can be rotated and spring means urging the insert toward the position that it assumes when no plug is present. The insert can include, at the sides, long curved contacts and, in a central portion, shorter curved contacts, the points of contact of the contacts of the insert with the flat contacts of a plug being substantially aligned over all the contacts.

Abstract: The sleeve for an electric cable comprises two bodies (2, 3) and a hinge (4). Each body (2, 3) is flexible in the profile thereof, has, in the absence of mechanical stress, a position of rest in which it is curved whereas it is designed for being bent from the position of rest. The sleeve has an open position in which the bodies (2, 3) are separated from one another when in the position of rest, has a first stable closed position in which a first body (3) receives the second body (2) and has a second stable closed position in which the second body (2) receives the first body (3). The sleeve is designed for being deformed by folding the hinge (4) and to flex in the profile of these bodies (2, 3) in order to pass from the open position into one or other said stable closed positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closure device comprising a wall, an opening provided in this wall, a flap which selectively adopts at least one closed position in which it blocks the opening and an open position in which it uncovers this opening. Pins are connected to a first edge of the flap, and recesses provided in the thickness of the wall on either side of the opening to receive the pins. The device of the invention also comprises flexible arms which connect the pins to the first edge of the flap in an elastic manner in the direction of bringing the pins towards one another. These arms protrude from the first edge and from the rear face of this flap.
