Programmable electrical connector comprising an electromechanical programmer
First Claim
1. A programmable electrical connector, which comprises:
- an electrical inlet plug, at least one electrical outlet socket, a programmer capable of controlling the passage and interruption of current between the inlet plug and the or at least some of the outlet sockets, which programmer comprises, on the one hand, electromechanical programming means capable of automatically controlling the passage and interruption of current in accordance with an adjustable time cycle, and, on the other hand, means for selecting an operating mode of the programmer from among at least two possible modes, one of which modes (“
AUTO mode”
) corresponds to automatic operation of the programmer imposed by the programming means, while the other mode or modes (“
ON mode” and
/or “
OFF mode”
) correspond(s) to control of the passage and/or interruption of current independently of the programming means, and luminous display means controlled by said selection means and capable of providing a luminous display specific to each operating mode of the programmer.

Abstract
This connector comprises an electrical inlet plug and outlet socket and a current control programmer. This programmer comprises, on the one hand, electromechanical programming means capable of automatically controlling the passage and interruption of current in accordance with an adjustable time cycle and, on the other hand, means for selecting an operating mode of the programmer from among three possible modes, one of which modes (“AUTO mode”) corresponds to automatic operation of the programmer imposed by the programming means, while the other modes (“ON mode” and “OFF mode”) correspond to control of the passage and interruption of current independently of the programming means. In order to assist the user in understanding which operating mode of the programmer is in effect, the connector furthermore comprises luminous display means controlled by said selection means and capable of providing a luminous display specific to each operating mode of the programmer.
