  • Patent number: 4538876
    Abstract: This invention relates to electrical connection means. In particular, the invention is concerned with means for effecting electrical connection between two or more bodies in such a way that any small relative movement between the bodies when so connected will result in only small to negligible mechanical stresses being imposed on one or more of the bodies and/or on one or more component parts of the electrical connection means. Further, electrical connection means according to the invention are such that, in service, they do not suffer from at least one of the disadvantages associated with known, substantially stress-free, electrical connection means. In more detail an electrical connection means comprises an electrically conductive member or lug dipping into and making electrical contact with liquid conductive material contained in an electrically conductive reservoir, and means for at least reducing any tendency towards expulsion of the liquid conductive material from the electrically conductive reservoir.
