Abstract

The invention relates to a module for electrical locking between a first and a second contactor, comprising a first and a second normally closed auxiliary contact for respectively cooperating with a slide of the first and the second contactor, a first and a second connecting member of the module for cooperating respectively with a connecting member of the first and the second contactor, a first connection terminal being connected in series with the first normally closed auxiliary contact and with the second connecting member of the module, a second connection terminal being connected in series with the second normally closed auxiliary contact and with the first connecting member of the module, and the first and second connecting members of the module being positioned on a face of the body, at a first and a second part of the module respectively, respectively intended to be arranged on the front face of the first and the second contactor.

Claims (17)

1. A module for electrical locking between a first and a second contactor, which includes a body comprising:

a first and a second normally closed auxiliary contact for respectively cooperating with a slide of the first and the second contactor;

a first and a second connection terminal for cooperating with an external circuit in order to feed each of the two coils of the contactors; and

a first and a second connecting member of the module for cooperating respectively with a connecting member of the first and the second contactor,

the first connection terminal being connected in series with the first normally closed auxiliary contact and with the second connecting member of the module, the second connection terminal being connected in series with the second normally closed auxiliary contact and with the first connecting member of the module,

the first and second connecting members of the module being positioned on a face of the body, at a first and a second part of the module respectively, and

the first and the second parts of the module being respectively intended to be arranged on the front face of the first and the second contactor.

2. A reverser assembly including a first and a second contactor, each contactor comprising:

an insulating body delimited by a front face, a rear face, which is opposite the front face, and which includes means for fixing on a support;

a control coil accommodated in the insulating body;

means for connecting the coil for the purpose of feeding it; and

a slide,

wherein the coil connection means include a connecting member arranged close to the front face of the body, facing an opening therein,

the first and the second contactors being connected by a module as claimed in claim 1 .

3. The assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a connecting member of a contactor and the corresponding connecting member of the module respectively include an elastic portion, notably made up of a buckle, and a rigid portion, notably made up of a rigid lug, or vice versa.

4. The assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the module includes first and second fixing means, which are arranged at the first and the second part of the module respectively and which cooperate with fixing means of the first and the second contactor respectively.

5. The assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the module includes first and second fixing means, which are arranged at the first and the second part of the module respectively and which cooperate with fixing means of the first and the second contactor respectively.
