>System2000<

Current-carrying rail and its application in skirting boards, skirt boards, overhead boards and under-table boards with system plug and adapter.

Meeting the needs of modern times requires more options in the area of internal power supply than just the socket that has been in use up to now.

The innovation of the >System 2000< concerns a current guide rail as well as its contact and its special application in skirting boards, skirt boards, overhead boards and under-table boards.

The innovation is based on the task of providing the power supply in closed rooms in an optimal way so that consumer devices can find the shortest route to the supplier, namely to the wall at any desired location.

If the current socket system requires the consumer to deal with extension cables and distribution boxes laid out in the open, which pose a risk of tripping and accidents, this should be made easier for them with the new cable system.

In living rooms , the power supply is integrated into the skirting board, which encloses the entire room. This ensures that power can be drawn from every point on the wall, and in multiple ways (approx. 20-30 connections per month).

In the office and in the doctor's office by additionally laying chair-repellent skirting boards in the waiting room or desks in the office.

In workshops, by installing overhead strips, which have the advantage that large numbers of electrical processing devices can be placed next to each other with centimeter precision and can be continuously varied.

In rooms that are subject to constant change, such as department stores and open-plan offices. Or rooms with frequently changing tenants and the associated different usage requirements.

With under-table strips attached to the rear underside of the table, the system allows for a variety of electrical connections, so that the modern workplace in the office is not surrounded by a tangle of cables, even at free-standing tables.

Last but not least, the >System 2000< can be seen as progressive in terms of safety, especially with regard to children.

The following is a detailed description of the system, including the enclosed design drawings of systems 1+2:

The >System 2000< is characterized by a current-carrying rail

Page 1, Pos. 1, A+B

Part A shows a plastic profile in which a copper cable is embedded in the middle, lengthwise, over the full length (optionally 4-6 m) of the profile. This copper cable is used as an >earth< pole. The profile is attached to the wall using screws at the height of the skirting board.

Part B shows another plastic profile, which has a 6 mm slot in the middle of the front, along the length of the profile. The upper and lower sections of the profile are connected to one another by 30 mm webs, each 600 mm apart, and form a unit. Thanks to profiles at its ends, part B can grip part A at its upper and lower edges and firmly connect to it, but can also be released again with the application of force if required. Part B has two copper cables anchored in it at the top and bottom, lying at a deep angle, which are the >plus< and >minus< poles in use.

The plastic profile shown in the color >blue< represents a skirting board which differs from a conventional one in that it has a slot on its front which is congruent with the slot of the board AB and encloses it by means of a hollow profile.

Pos.2 shows the current sensor (plug) developed for this system. It is characterized by the fact that, with its thickness of 6 mm, it can be inserted crosswise into the slot in the strips and, with a quarter turn, engages with its >plus, minus and earth< contacts attached to the front part. The arrangement of the three poles ensures that the current contact can only be made with this safety key. Careless contact with the contacts by children is ruled out.

A cover strip for the slot along its entire length, the clip strip C shown in item 3 , can be seen as further protection against misuse. This can be used to close the strip when it is not in use, which also makes it easier to see.

Page 2 Pos.A shows the schematic representation of the inserted plug in contact with the three poles of the current-carrying bar.

Pos. B demonstrates the use of the attached skirting board.

Pos.C demonstrates the use of a possible adapter which can accommodate a standard plug, so that the re-installation of a system plug can possibly be avoided.

Claims (1)

PROTECTION CLAIMS Current-carrying strip with collector, characterized in that it consists of plastic, with a cavity accessible through a longitudinal slot, which contains electrical conductor tracks which are accessible from the interior of the cavity and with at least one foot of a current collector which is slidably inserted therein and which has contact elements in contact with the conductor tracks and which has a head located outside which is designed as a socket known per se. The power supply rail is designed as a floorboard and the cavity is delimited by longitudinal bars protruding from the inside of the rail on both sides of the slot and by a cover strip that can be placed between the ends of the longitudinal bars. The longitudinal edges of the cover strip and the ends of the longitudinal webs are advantageously connected to one another by locking elements. On the inner surface of the cover strip facing the cavity, there is an earthed conductor track that is connected to protective contacts on the head designed as a socket. The conductor tracks are expediently arranged in the corners of the cavity formed between the baseboard and the longitudinal webs, with corresponding areas of the base of the current collector having the contacts that can be brought into contact with the current-carrying conductor tracks. These contacts are in turn connected to corresponding contacts in the head designed as a socket. Consumers can be supplied with power using standard plugs that can be inserted into the head designed as a socket. To cover the longitudinal slot on both sides of a current collector, a strip-shaped insert panel is provided, which can be attached to the skirting board with locking elements that engage in the longitudinal slot. The skirting board can be placed in the transition area between floor 3 and wall 4. For this purpose, a cover strip 5 can be attached to the wall 4 at a predetermined height above the floor 3, which, as shown here, is designed as a profile, with its edges being provided with negative locking elements 6'. The skirting board has a longitudinal slot 7. On both sides of the longitudinal slot, longitudinal webs 8 and 8' protrude against the wall 4, the ends of which are in turn provided with positive locking elements 6" which can be locked into the negative locking elements 6' of the "cover strip" 5. ■■-·■■ - _...-.-■ The longitudinal webs and the cover strip delimit a cavity 9 in which current-carrying conductor tracks 10 and 11 are arranged. A foot 12 of a current collector 13 is inserted into the cavity and can be moved along the skirting board. The foot has a head located outside the skirting board 2 and is designed as a socket 14 known per se, into which a plug 15 can be inserted to supply power to any device. The foot 12 has contact elements that are in contact with the current-carrying conductor tracks 10 and 11 as well as with a grounded conductor track 16 located on the inner surface of the cover strip 5, which, as indicated here, are connected via corresponding wire guides 17 to contacts of the head designed as a socket 14. In the front of the skirting board with the longitudinal slot 7, an insert panel 18 is inserted into the longitudinal slot, which has spring-loaded locking elements 19 engaging in the longitudinal slot.
