Abstract
An electrical bus forming method including the steps of interlocking a plurality of electrical conductors and forming a shaped conductor. The interlocking step includes interlocking a plurality of electrical conductors including a first electrical conductor with a second electrical conductor thereby forming an interlocked conductor. The forming step includes forming a shaped conductor from the interlocked conductor.
Claims18
An electrical bus forming method, comprising the steps of:
- interlocking a plurality of electrical conductors including a first electrical conductor with a second electrical conductor thereby forming an interlocked conductor without soldering or brazing;
- and
- forming a shaped conductor from said interlocked conductor.
An electrical bus forming method, comprising the steps of:
- displacing material in a plurality of electrical conductors including a first electrical conductor with a second electrical conductor thereby forming an interlocked conductor without the use of a fastener or solder;
- and
- forming a shaped conductor from said interlocked conductor.
An electrical conductor assembly, comprising a plurality of electrical conductors including a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor, said first electrical conductor having a flat area positioned adjacent a flat portion of said second electrical conductor defining an area of overlap, said first electrical conductor and said second electrical conductor being interlocked to each other in said area of overlap by way of displaced portions of the materials of said first electrical conductor and said second electrical conductor, said plurality of electrical conductors being stamped after said first electrical conductor and said second electrical conductor were interlocked.
