DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention has as its object a device which greatly facilitates the pick-up and assembly, in accordance with a well-defined code, of elements of identification which are currently in use for locating the wire strands at two distant ends of an electric cable, or the terminals of electrical appliances.
There are in existence elements of identification of various types; the invention is in no way limited to a specific type of elements of identification; it is possible to readily adapt it to different types of elements. To be more explicit, we shall in the following refer to elements of identification which, either totally or in part, consist of a link or a sleeve or at least of a ring-shaped configuration, into which can be introduced a rod which enables the pick-up of one specific element from the entire assembly of elements. An example of elements of identification of this type with which the device of the invention can be used, is found in the document FR-A-2.239.182. In this document, tubular elements of identification are described which bear a symbol, either a number or a letter, and which are arranged in order in the switch cabinet in rows of several elements, whereby each row bears identical symbols; a short measuring tape is designed to be successively threaded into several ring-shaped elements which are picked up, one by one, in the desired order to compose a message code of identification, e.g. a number; the elements which compose this message are then transferred, as a whole, on a carrier for the message code of identification already fixed or destined to be fixed on a wire strand of a cable or on an electric terminal. Hence, each message of identification is composed individually, element by element.
The main object of the invention is to provide a device which permits at least a doubling of the speed with which tubular elements of identification are picked up and message codes of identification for wire strands or electric terminals are composed.
It is a further objective of the invention to compose simultaneously pairs of message codes of identification which are identical, and to enable an easy separation of messages of identification of each identical pair for locating the two distant ends of the wire strands without the risk of error in the messages intended for these two ends.
Known means of identification include the following:
a carrier with distinct rows for the elements of identification,
the elements of identification, at least partially tubular, are arranged in order on these rows and are spaced by a defined step P1 and bear in each row an identical symbol,
the carriers are designed to each receive a series of elements of identification, thus composing a message code of identification,
a means for picking-up these elements of identification which has a section which can be threaded into a tubular part of the elements of identification, the device of the invention consisting on the one hand of a comb with parallel teeth which are spaced by a step P2 the value of which is equal to or several times the value of the step P1 of the elements of identification, whereby each of these teeth is designed to have mounted, in a removable manner, a carrier of a series of elements which compose a message code of identification, on the other hand, of a means of pick-up with at least two parallel arms which are spaced at a step P2 which is identical to the step P2 of the teeth of the comb, whereby each of these arms has a very straight part which can be threaded into the tubular section of the elements of identification, whereby this straight part is limited, opposite to its free end, by a top catch.
According to an improvement and further development of the invention, the comb consists of two halves which can be easily assembled or separate and of a joint face, the thickness of which permits it to be fitted between the two halves, whereby the successively arranged teeth of the comb belong, alternatively, either to the one or the other half. Preferably, the teeth of at least one of these halves are
