This system for electrically connecting and fastening at least one plate-type electrical conductor onto a support piece provided with a threaded pin designed to be engaged in a corresponding hole of conductor and to cooperate with a nut for screwing conductor onto support piece, is characterized in that an annular spacer of electrically conductive material is joined to conductor on the side of this conductor that is facing the support piece and in that nut is positioned on the other side of conductor, and is joined to spacer by coupling means allowing the rotation of the nut relative to the spacer and a determined course of axial movement for nut relative to this spacer, between a position of assembling distant from the conductor and a position for screwing in which the nut is supported against the conductor, in order to facilitate the positioning and then the screwing of the conductor against the support piece.
A system for electrically coupling and fastening at least one plate-type electrical conductor onto a support piece provided with a threaded pin designed to be engaged in a corresponding hole of the conductor and to cooperate with a nut for connecting the conductor with the support piece, characterized in that an annular spacer of electrically conductive material is joined to the conductor, on the side of the conductor that faces support piece, and in that this nut is positioned on the opposite side of the conductor, and is joined to the spacer by coupling means allowing the rotation of the nut relative to the spacer, wherein the coupling means provides the nut with a determined limited course of movement of nut relative to the spacer between a first position comprising the nut being assembled with the spacer and being spaced from the conductor and a second position in which the nut is supported against the conductor, and wherein the coupling means facilitates the positioning and then the subsequent fastening of the nut with the threaded pin.
A system for electrically coupling and fastening at least one plate-type electrical conductor onto a support piece provided with a threaded pin designed to be engaged in a corresponding hole of the conductor and to cooperate with a nut for connecting the conductor with the support piece, characterized in that an annular spacer of electrically conductive material is located on the conductor, on the side of the conductor that faces support piece, and in that the nut is positioned on the opposite side of the conductor, wherein the nut is joined to the spacer by a coupling which allows rotation of the nut relative to the spacer, wherein the coupling provides the nut with a determined limited course of movement of nut relative to the spacer between a first position comprising the nut being assembled with the spacer at a first position on the spacer and a second position at a second position on the spacer against the conductor, wherein the coupling facilitates the positioning and then the subsequent fastening of the nut with the threaded pin, wherein the coupling comprises a tubular sleeve of the nut designed to extend into the conductor hole and whose free end is provided with a stop designed to cooperate with a complementary stop of the spacer, further characterized in that the stop of the end of the sleeve comprises at least one projecting part and in that the complementary stop of the spacer comprises at least one corresponding rim.
A system for electrically coupling and fastening at least one plate-type electrical conductor onto a support piece provided with a threaded pin designed to be engaged in a corresponding hole of the conductor and to cooperate with a nut for connecting the conductor with the support piece, characterized in that an annular spacer of electrically conductive material is located on the conductor, on the side of the conductor that faces support piece, and in that the nut is positioned on the opposite side of the conductor, wherein the nut is joined to the spacer by a coupling which allows rotation of the nut relative to the spacer, wherein the coupling provides the nut with a determined limited course of movement of nut relative to the spacer between a first position and a second position, and wherein the coupling facilitates the positioning and then the subsequent fastening of the nut with the threaded pin, further characterized in that the spacer has, on its side that faces the conductor, a receiving groove for the conductor, allowing a determined course of transverse movement for the spacer and the nut relative to the conductor in order to facilitate its centering on the threaded pin.
