Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014146905A1] A contact element (1) comprises at least two strips (2, 3) which extend parallel to one another and in a longitudinal axis (L), and a row of webs (14), which are arranged between the strips (2, 3) and are contiguous with the strips (2, 3), wherein the webs (14) are connected resiliently to one of the strips (2, 3) via a first torsion section (4) and to another of the strips (2, 3) via a second torsion section (5) and are inclined with respect to the strips (2, 3) in the deformed state, with the result that a first contact section (6) extends above the strip and a second contact section (7) extends below the strip (2, 3), wherein the webs (14) each have a front web rim (8) and a rear web rim (9), which front web rim (8) has a bulge (10), and which rear web rim (9) has an indentation (11), which fits or is complementary to the bulge (10) of a directly adjacent web rim, wherein the bulge (10) provides said front contact section (6), and wherein the webs (14), to the side of the indentation (11), have two rear web sections (13), which provide the second contact section (7). Furthermore, the front web rim (8) and the rear web rim (9) extend from the first torsion section (4) as far as to the second torsion section (5), and the front web rim (8) and the rear web rim (9) of two directly adjacent webs (14) touch one another in the undeformed state over their entire length, in particular at least approximately.
