Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011039008A1] The invention relates to a connection device for power rails wherein a contact force that is necessary for the electrical connection is achieved by means of a clamping unit (116; 215) between the contact surfaces (108) of at least one contact means (102, 103) and allocated contact sides (113; 313) of a power rail (L1a, L1b, L2a, L2b, L3a, L3b, L4a, L4b, Na, Nb; L1c, L1d) reaching between the contact surfaces. The invention relates in particular to the design of the cited clamping unit (116; 216) which has a tension spring (114; 214) for loading the contacting means (102, 103) with the contact force pressing the contact surfaces (108) to the contact sides (113; 313) and a tension clamp (115; 215) for tensioning the tension spring. In order to simplify assembly of the connection device according to the invention, the tension spring (114; 214) and the tension clamp (115; 215) form a clamping pair that is captively held to one another.
