  • Patent number: 7815463
    Abstract: A spring-force connection with a current rail piece with at least two mutually independent clamping points which interact with in each case one spring end for clamping electrical conductors is described. The current rail piece has on both sides of a center piece two end pieces bent away in each case from the center piece, the interior angle of which end pieces is located in the bending area on the same top of the current rail piece. The end pieces in each case have conductor through-openings into which associated clamping springs are inserted, wherein the clamping springs are supported with one clamping spring end on the current rail piece and, in the conductor-less inoperative state rest with the other clamping spring end on a clamping point formed at the associated conductor through-opening.

    Abstract: A spring-force connection (1) with a current rail piece (2) with at least two mutually independent clamping points (5a, 5b) which interact with in each case one spring end for clamping electrical conductors is described. The current rail piece (2) has on both sides of a center piece (3) two end pieces (4a, 4b) bent away in each case from the center piece (3), the interior angle of which end pieces is located in the bending area on the same top of the current rail piece (2). The end pieces (4a, 4b) in each case have conductor through-openings (5a, 5b) into which associated clamping springs (6a, 6b) are inserted, wherein the clamping springs (6a, 6b) are supported with one clamping spring end on the current rail piece (2) and, in the conductorless unoperated state rest with the other clamping spring end on a clamping point formed at the associated conductor through-opening (5a, 5b).
