THREE-CONNECTOR INTERCONNECTION CABLE FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTRICAL OUTLETS

Abstract

An interconnecting cable (IC) is designed to be coupled to electrical sockets to ensure their interconnection, and comprises: - an electrical cable (EC) having a first end equipped with a first connector (C1) adapted to an electrical socket of a first type, and a sub-part (SP2) having a second end (E2) equipped with a second connector (C2) designed to be coupled to an electrical socket of a second type, and - a sleeve (MA) having first (P1) and second (P2) parts opposite each other and designed to be coupled respectively to the first (C1) and second (C2) connectors or vice versa depending on whether protection of the first connector (C1) or use of the second connector (C2) is required.

Claims

in an area located near said first end (El) of the latter (CE).

7. Interconnection cable according to one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that said first connector (Cl) comprises at least one first mechanical coupling element (EC1), in that said first part (P1) of the sleeve (MA) comprises at least one second mechanical coupling element (EC2) capable of cooperating with a corresponding first mechanical coupling element (EC1) to ensure a coupling between said sleeve (MA) and first connector (Cl), and in that said second part (P2) of the sleeve (MA) comprises at least one third mechanical coupling element (EC3) capable of cooperating with a corresponding first mechanical coupling element (EC1) to ensure a coupling between said sleeve (MA) and first connector (Cl).

8. Interconnection cable according to claim 7, characterized in that said first connector (Cl) comprises at least two first mechanical coupling elements (EC1), in that said first part (PI) of the sleeve (MA) comprises at least two second mechanical coupling elements (EC2), and in that said second part (P2) of the sleeve (MA) comprises at least two third mechanical coupling elements (EC3).

9. Interconnection cable according to claim 7 or 8, characterized in that each of said first (EC1), second (EC2) and third (EC3) mechanical coupling elements is capable of participating in a clipping coupling. [Fig. 2] [Fig. 4] EC1 [Fig. 5]
