Claims9
A connector arrangement comprising:
- first conductor teeth on a first support;
- second conductor teeth on a second support;
- means for electrically and mechanically connecting and disconnecting a respective one of said first conductor teeth on said first support to a respective one of said second conductor teeth on said second support;
- said first and second conductor teeth being provided with a spring mechanism to improve an electrical contact between adjacent conductor teeth when connected, said spring mechanism including a gap formed in each tooth between opposing contacting surfaces of said tooth, and when connected, said first and second conductor teeth being compressed by reducing said gap to produce a restoring force.
