Abstract
A device for electrical connection of discontinuous conductors, extending in a longitudinal direction, comprising a body made of insulating material inside which is disposed a conductor element provided with means adapted to come into contact with the conducting part of at least one respective discontinuous conductor, said body having guides for sliding of a respective slider provided with at least one relative seat extending parallel to said longitudinal direction and adapted to contain a portion of the relative discontinuous conductor, said slider being movable from a first position of extraction from the body to a second position of insertion inside said body.
Claims14
A device for electrical connection of discontinuous penetrable conductors, extending in a longitudinal direction comprising a body of insulating material inside which is disposed a U-shaped conductor element with branches substantially parallel to one direction at right angles to said longitudinal direction, said conductor element being provided with means adapted to enter into contact with and penetrate the conducting part of at least one respective discontinuous conductor, said body having guides for sliding in said direction of a respective slider movable from a first position in which it is extracted from the body to a second position in which it is inserted inside the body, characterized in that said branches of the conductor element have an end shaped into a pointed tip and in that each slider is provided with at least one relative guide extending parallel to said longitudinal direction and able to contain a portion of the relative discontinuous conductor, said guide having apertures in a diametrical position, aligned with the axis of the branches of the conductor element and of such a size as to allow the passage of the relative branch of the conductor element, so that the movement of said slider from said first position in which it is extracted from the body to said second position in which it is inserted inside the body causes said tips of the branches of the U-shaped conductor element to penetrate the conducting part of the respective conductor, establishing the electrical continuity thereof, wherein means adapted to lock the slider in said second position of insertion inside the body are provided, said locking means comprising pairs of opposed teeth, provided respectively in the body and on the slider.
