ELECTRICAL BOX COMPRISING A SHEATH ENTRY DEVICE

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The box (100) has a rigid part (110) locally provided with an entry device (120) to accommodate an end of a sheath that transports cables and/or electrical conductors. The entry device includes a sleeve (122) and a flexible membrane (121) that connects the sleeve to the rigid part. The entry device comprises another sleeve (124) with small section and another flexible membrane (123) connecting the latter sleeve to the former sleeve. The latter sleeve includes a free end closed by a removable cover. The cover carries a gripping strip (126) to extract the cover. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for inserting an end of a sheath transporting cables and/or electric conductors inside a rigid part of an electric box. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Flush mounted electrical box for use in a drywall e.g. alveolar wall, to receive cables and/or electrical conductors supplying power to electrical apparatus. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The box is formed in simple and inexpensive manner. The box ensures a total sealing at entry of an electric sheath to authorize the sheath to attain different orientations with respect to a main axis of the electric box in order to facilitate installation of the box in any type of drywall and to position the free end of the sheath outside of useful interior volume of the electric box. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of an electric box. 100 : Flush mounted electrical box 110 : Rigid part 120 : Entry device 121, 123 : Flexible membranes 122, 124 : Sleeves 126 : Gripping tab #CMT#POLYMERS : #/CMT# The entry device is made of single block of flexible material e.g. elastomer material such as a rubber or a styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS). The rigid part is made of thermoplastic material e.g. polystyrene, polypropylene or polyamide.
