Safety system for electrostimulation device
View Patent ↗A housing for an electrostimulation device comprising a charger plug and a stimulation plug, designed to receive respectively a connector linked to a charger and a connector linked to a stimulation electrode, characterized in that it comprises a mobile locking element designed to alternately lock the charger plug or the stimulation plug.
1. A housing for an electrostimulation device, comprising:
a charger plug configured to receive a connector linked to a charger;
a stimulation plug configured to receive a connector linked to a stimulation electrode; and
a locking strip comprising a series of teeth and an inclined surface, wherein the locking strip is configured to alternately lock the charger plug or the stimulation plug.
2. The housing of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of stimulation plugs, wherein the locking strip is configured to alternately lock the charger plug or, in a single action, the stimulation plugs.
3. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the inclined surface is located in a plug so that insertion of a connector into the plug exerts a force on the inclined surface so as to sufficiently displace the locking strip to ensure that the other plug is locked.
4. The housing of claim 3 , wherein the locking strip is configured to be mobile in a direction parallel to a line passing through the plugs, each tooth being positioned on the strip so as to enable a plug to be locked by the tooth.
5. The housing of claim 4 , wherein in the inclined surface is located at one end of the strip.
6. The housing of claim 3 , wherein the charger plug and the stimulation plugs are located on two opposite sides of the housing, the locking strip being made mobile along a curvilinear path.
7. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the locking strip is mounted in pivoting fashion.
8. The housing of claim 7 , wherein the locking strip is mounted pivoting about its main axis, the teeth being located towards the ends of the strip.
9. The housing of claim 7 , wherein the locking strip is mounted pivoting about an axis directed perpendicular to its main axis, the teeth being located along the locking element.
10. The housing of claim 1 , wherein the locking strip is configured to be displaced in a direction perpendicular to a line on which the plugs are located.
11. The housing of claim 10 , wherein the locking strip comprises a thrust element which, when activated by a user, releases a plug.
12. The housing of claim 1 , further comprising a spring positioned so as to return the locking strip to its original position once the connector has been removed from its corresponding plug.
