Contact finger alignment arrangement for a switchgear cubicle

A contact finger alignment arrangement (100) to facilitate electrical connections in a switchgear cubicle (102), said contact finger alignment arrangement (100) comprising a first contact finger (104-1) and a second contact finger (104-2) coupled together and extending parallel to a longitudinal axis (106), each of said contact fingers (104-1,104-2) comprising

• a front end (108) defining a contact receiving portion to facilitate longitudinal insertion of a contact arm (114) fixed to said cubicle (102),
• a coupling portion (118) for mechanically coupling the first contact finger (104-1) and the second contact finger (104-2), wherein said mechanical coupling includes a flexible member (116) attached in contact with each of said contact fingers (104-1,104-2) such that the contact fingers (104-1,104-2) execute a resilient rotational motion centering said coupling portion (118) at a vertical plane along said longitudinal axis (106) to adjust the opening of said contact receiving portion at the time of insertion of said contact arm (114) fixed to said cubicle (102);
• and
• a rear end (112) mechanically connected with each other to align the first contact finger (104-1) and the second contact finger (104-2), wherein the rear end (112) of each of said contact fingers (104-1,104-2) is provided with a conical hole (120) converging towards said longitudinal axis (106) for receiving an alignment pin (122) projected through the conical hole (120) of said first contact finger (104-1) to the second contact finger (104-2) such that the resilient rotational motion of the contact fingers (104-1,104-2) centering said coupling portion (118) at the vertical plane is executed in a restricted manner.
