Abstract

Female connectors which slide along some guides in home, business or industrial installations and allow electricity to be transported from one point to another without the need for extension cables. The connector slides along the guide which includes, in the interior thereof, some electrical brushes connected to some brass connectors which transport the electricity towards the poles of a male connector from some tracks which, in turn, are connected to the mains or the general electrical installation. Alternatively, the connector slides along some guides having electrical pins which are connected to the general electrical installation via the tracks.

Claims

1. Connectors with brushes and pins for which slide along guides for home, business or industrial installations (1), characterized in that said connectors are designed from a female connector (2) connected through an horizontal section (16) to the sliding piece (4) that is inserted along with the connector (2) inside the guide (6), including brushes (8) either connected to copper solid cables and keys, or alternatively, directly to the connectors (11) by means of brushes (8) with electrical cables (10) included, brushes (8) providing the contact with tracks (13) housed in recesses (18), (19) and (20), the ground connection being solved through the contact of a metallic spring screwed to an inner threaded rod connected, by the other end, to the standard strip of the female connector (2).

2. Connectors with brushes and pins for which slide along guides for home, business or industrial installations (1), characterized in that said connectors comprise an adapted conventional connector (3) designed for concealing the connections with a box (21), based on the connector (3) disconnectable from an independent sliding piece (5) centrally comprising equidistant slots (24) in a horizontal section (17) of said independent piece (5), going through said independent piece (5) in order to generate a series of aligned cavities wherein square connectors (12) are housed, and pins (9) being anchored to each of said square connectors, being in constant contact with tracks (25) located in staggered housings (26) of an upper flap (7.1) making up a guide (7) by tight and crisscrossed assembly of the upper flap with a lower flap (7.2), a hollowed notch (23) fitted into the horizontal section (17) of the independent piece (5) protruding from the rear part of the box (21) at a middle, top or bottom area, being joined to the box (21) and into a single piece to the disconnectable female connector (3), the pins (22) previously connecting the screwed mounting of the box (21) to the conventional connectors housed inside the connector (3), wherewith the pins are immobilized.

3. Connectors with brushes and pins for which slide along guides for home, business or industrial installations (1) according to the preceding claims characterized in that the connectors (2) and (3) slide along guides (6) and (7) made into a single piece and into two parts or flaps (7.1) and (7.2), all of this made of plastic or PVC material suitable to withstand the temperature and voltage of the transported electricity, all the guides (6) and (7) always reserving an open longitudinal space with optimized height creating slots (14) and (15) forming part of both guides (6) and (7), the connectors (2) and (3) moving forward or backward fitting the horizontal sections (16) and (17) into the slots (14) and (15), being slid along thereof with brushes (8) and pins (9) contacting the tracks (13) and (25), warning lights indicating the electrical presence and absence in the guides (6) and (7) being included at any location in the connectors (2) and (3) or sliding pieces (4) and (5), temporary connecting and disconnecting plugs of the guide with respect to the home, business or industrial general installation are installed in the initial or final guide sections.
