  • Publication number: 20100112857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conducting device (11) for establishing an electric contact between a first shielding sheath (12) of a first armoured conductor and the second shielding sheath (12) of a second armoured conductor or a shielding reference member, wherein said device is intended to be mounted on an electric connection apparatus (2) that comprises at least one connection terminal for the conductors, and a conducting member (13) extending between a first end to be provided in the vicinity of a first connection terminal of the apparatus (2) and a second end to be provided in the vicinity of a second connection terminal of the apparatus (2), or in contact with the reference shielding member. The device further includes at least one housing member (14) for a conductor (3) with its sheath, said member being in electric contact with one of the ends of the conducting member (13), and means (19) for maintaining the housing member in position and in contact with the shielding sheath (12) of a conductor (3).

  • Patent number: 6762374
    Abstract: A device comprising two conductive spaced apart components (3, 4) and a blade (5) in the form of a conductive segment mobile between a position closing the circuit wherein it is in contact with the two conductive components and a position opening the circuit, wherein it is spaced apart from said components. The blade is mounted locked in translation on a rod (7) axially mobile in the box between a retracted position in the box wherein the blade (5) is in contact with the conductive components and a projecting position wherein the blade is spaced apart from the conductive components, means being provided to maintain the rod stable in those two positions.

  • Patent number: 6604956
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device with a conductive core (10a) and an insulating sheath (10b) comprising a stripping and retaining slot (18). It comprises: a second stripping and retaining slot (18) substantially parallel to the first and offset relative to the direction of the slots; a push-member (8) designed to receive two electric cables (10) and configured such that each cable should be located transversely opposite a stripping and retaining slot (18), and means (4) for producing a relative displacement between the push-member (8) and the stripping slots (18).

  • Patent number: 6495778
    Abstract: Breakable electric contact device of the type comprising two conducting strips (3, 4) between which an electric contact can be made using a conducting piece (5) in the form of a moving blade, at least one of the faces of which is intended to come into contact with the conducting strips. Furthermore the device comprises two cleaning strips (7, 8) which, located in front of the conducting strips (3, 4) in the direction of travel of the moving blade (5) toward the contact-closed position, are intended to scrape at least the region of each face of the moving blade (5) that is intended to press against a conducting strip (3, 4).

  • Patent number: 6402548
    Abstract: A device comprising a connecting strip from which contact pins extend. The connecting strip extends in a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the pins extend, and a connecting pin extends from each of the two opposed longitudinal edges of the connecting strip in the region of each connecting terminal. Two connecting pins facing each other form a clip which allows interconnection by gripping the edges of an insulation-displacement and retaining slit.
