Abstract
A mounting rack contains at least two center transverse rails (16, 20) whose rear faces rest facing one another and which are arranged in the region of the front face and/or rear face (25) of the mounting rack. A spring contact strip (1) is fitted on an inner face (26) of at least one of the two center transverse rails (16, 20) which faces away from the front face or rear face (25) of the mounting rack. The spring contact strip (1) has elongated, angled contact tongues (2) which extend into a gap (19) between the rear faces of the two center transverse rails (16, 20).
Claims9
A mounting rack, comprising:
- at least two center transverse rails having rear faces resting on each other and defining a gap, and having inner faces directed into an interior of the mounting rack;
- and
- a spring contact strip fitted on the inner face of at least one of said center transverse rails, wherein said spring contact strip comprises a plurality of contact tongues which extend into the gap between the rear faces of said two center transverse rails.
A mounting rack, comprising:
- an electrically conductive transverse rail;
- a further electrically conductive element separated from said transverse rail at at least one location by a gap;
- and
- an electrically conductive spring contact strip;
- wherein said spring contact strip comprises:
- a main body mounted to said transverse rail outside the gap;
- and
- a resilient extension contacting said further element within the gap.
A spring contact strip, comprising:
- a plurality of spring contact tongues;
- a plurality of clamping blades respectively alternating with each of said spring contact tongues;
- and
- a conductive strip interconnecting said spring contact tongues and said clamping blades;
- wherein:
- each said spring contact tongue is an extension angled out from a plane of said conductive strip in a first direction;
- and
- each said clamping blade is an extension bent out from the plane of said conductive strip in a second direction that is essentially opposite to the first direction.
