  • the member according to the invention is of the type produced from a metal strip which is a good conductor of electricity and endowed with a certain elasticity and bent to present a conduit of rectangular section with a core, two wings and a ceiling wall, the ceiling wall comprising, towards the inside, an elastic bar, while the core comprises, towards the inside, an elastic tongue, said member having two channels intended to each receive a male tongue, the channels opening one on one side and the other on the opposite side, said member being characterized in that the elastic tongue with which the core is provided is cut out from said core and suitably arched to extend inside substantially parallel to the latter, the corresponding channel being formed between said tongue and said core.
  • the free end of the tongue is folded on the side opposite to the core.
  • the ceiling wall is formed by two extensions of the wings folded to extend parallel to the core.
  • the extensions of the wings forming the ceiling wall each comprise, on their free edge intended to be opposite the other, a bar folded against the internal face of said extensions and arched to form the elastic bars.
  • each elastic bar on the side adjacent to the free end of the elastic tongue, is extended by a stop extending in the direction of the core and up to the vicinity of said free end.
  • the ceiling wall on the side of the channel opposite to that formed between the elastic tongue cut out from the core and the latter, is extended by two elastic bars which are folded inwards to having a first hairpin part and a second hairpin part, the free ends bearing against the internal face of said ceiling wall.
  • the ceiling wall on the side opposite its end provided with elastic bars, has a stop extending in the direction of the core and to the right of the free end of the elastic tongue.
  • the ceiling wall on its free edge, comprises a tab, while the corresponding wing is provided, on the one hand, with a flap intended to be folded against the external face of said wall of ceiling and, on the other hand, a slot intended to receive said tab.
  • the ceiling wall in the vicinity of its free edge, has a stamped with which the flap cooperates.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view showing the development of the electrical connecting member of male tongues.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the electrical connection member during manufacture.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the body of Figure 2 completed.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view along line 4-4 of Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view along line 5-5 of Figure 4.
  • Figure 6 shows in plan the developed according to an alternative embodiment.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a phase of manufacturing the member of FIG. 6.
  • Figure 8 shows in perspective the completed organ.
  • Figure 9 is a sectional view along line 9-9 of Figure 8.
  • Figure 10 is a sectional view along line 10-10 of Figure 9.
  • the member shown in Figures 1 to 5 is made from a metal strip 1 good conductor of electricity and endowed with a certain elasticity, said strip affecting a generally rectangular shape with two large sides 2 and 3 and two small sides 4 and 5.
  • the strip is folded into a U to present a core 6 and two wings 7 and 8.
  • a tongue 9 which is stamped to extend inside the member, the free end 9a of this tongue being folded to extend on the side opposite to the core 6.
  • the wing 8 in the vicinity of the short side 4, has a slot 10 which extends parallel to said short side and which extends from the long side 2 to an intermediate point in the width of the strip, the said slot being extended by a fold line 11 to the long side 3.
  • the slot 10 delimits a bar 14 which is terminated by a stop 12 on the side of the long side 3.
  • the member, in the vicinity of the short side S has the same configuration as that provided in the vicinity of the short side, namely a slot 10 a , a fold line 11 a , a stop 12 a of a bar 14 a .
  • the wing 8 has an extension 17, extension 17 has a matching being provided between the flange 7 and the strip 14 a.
  • the webs 14 and 14 a are folded inward against the extensions 17 and 17a respectively, while the latter are bent at right angle inwards to form a top wall parallel to the core 6.
  • the organ takes the form of a duct with a rectangular section.
  • the bars 14 and 14 a are arched in the vicinity of their free end so as to have a convexity on the side of the core 6, the convexity having a projection 18.
  • the stops 12 and 12 a are bent at right angles in the direction of the core 6.
  • Each extension 17 and 17 a is, on the side of the small side 2, terminated by a stop 20 and 20 a .
  • the wings 7 and 8 have ears 22 and 23 respectively at their ends adjacent to the long side 3.
  • the member of FIGS. 1 to 5 has two channels 28 and 29, the channel 28 being formed between the bars 14 and 14 a and the tongue 9, and the channel 29 between the core 6 and the tongue 9.
  • a male tab 25 In the channel 28 is engaged a male tab 25 while a second male tab 26 is pinched between the bars 14 and 14 a and the tongue 9.
  • the stops 20, 20 a delimit the entry of the channel 28, while the stops 12, 12 a with the free end 9 a delimit the entry of the channel 29.
  • the stops 12 and 20 make it possible to prevent the tabs 25 and 26 from being able to be engaged in a position which would not be suitable.
  • FIG. 6 to 10 show an alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • the member represented in these figures is produced from a metal strip 30 which is good conductor of electricity and has a certain elasticity.
  • the strip 30 is cut to have a generally rectangular shape with two large parallel sides 31 and 32 and two short sides 33 and 34.
  • the strip 30 is intended to be folded so as to present a core 37 with two wings 38 and 39, the wing 39 having an extension 40 intended to constitute a ceiling wall.
  • a tongue 42 which is arched to extend inward substantially parallel to the core and whose free end 42 a is folded back on the side opposite to said core 37.
  • the ceiling wall 40 is, on the side of the long side 31, extended by two bars 35 and 35 a which are folded inwards to present a first part folded in hairpin 44 and a second part 45, also folded in hairpin with hair, the free end bearing against the internal face of the wall 40. Between the two parts 44 and 45, each bar 35, 35 a has a boss 46.
  • the ceiling wall 40 on the side opposite to the bars 35 and 35 a , has an extension 48 which is bent at right angles and forms a stop.
  • the wing 38 along its edge, is extended by a flap 50 intended to be folded over the free edge of the wall 40 which has a slight stamping 54 so that said flap does not project from the surface of said wall 40.
  • the free edge of the wall 40 has a tab 52, while in line with the fold line separating the flap 50 from the wing 38, a slot 51 is made, in which the tab 52 is inserted.
  • the wings 38 and 39, at the end adjacent to the stop 48, have ears 55.
  • the member thus formed assumes the shape of a rectangular section conduit in which extends a first channel 56 which is formed between the bars 35, 35 a and the tongue 42, this channel being able to receive a first tongue.
  • flat 57 which is elastically sandwiched between these two elements.
  • a second channel 58 formed between the tongue 42 and the bottom of the core 37, the latter being intended to receive a second male tongue 59.
  • stop 48 extends to the vicinity of the free end 42 a of the tongue 42 so that it is impossible to insert the latter in a bad position.
