  • Patent number: 6183288
    Abstract: This device is made from a flat resilient material, which has a first branch intended to bear against a fixed conducting part of a connection terminal, a moving sharply-angled second branch having, on the side of its free end, an approximately planar part provided with an opening intended for passage of the end of a cable to be connected and a part facing the first branch, as well as a linking region which joins the two branches, thus forming a loop. Each branch has a part which is concave toward the outside of the loop and the two concave parts are approximately facing each other and form a narrows inside the loop.

  • Patent number: 6019643
    Abstract: A connection module, in particular a junction block, having connection terminals that are interconnectable by means of moving conductive pieces that can be driven from outside the module. A box of insulating material contains the connection terminals and respective electric link strips for each module, which strips are fixed and terminate in individual extensions serving as contact elements, said extensions extending parallel to a common plane inside the box, with elements on any one level being in alignment. A conductive piece includes at least one comb of parallel spring-blade contact clips enabling it to come into contact with the extensions on a given level by the clips coming astride them when a drive member carrying the clips is moved inside the box from outside the box where said drive member has a handle-forming head.

  • Patent number: 5993244
    Abstract: An arrangement including a connection part provided with a slot and a part having one end provided with at least one guide eye for guiding at least one electrical wire, which end can be displaced along a wire-holding slot, the eye being situated beyond an inlet of the slot in an insertion position, in which it is possible to place a wire passing through the eye in front of the inlet of the slot, the eye otherwise being placed at a zone determined by the edges of the slot in another position. The arrangement includes a guide part having a loop spring resiliently returning the end that carries the eye to the wire-holding position by displacing it along the slot. The arrangement is designed to equip electrical equipment modules to which electrical wires are connected in permanent manner.
