Le bord libre de la paroi 40 présente une patte 52, tandis qu'au droit de la ligne de pliage séparant le rabat 50 de l'aile 38, il est pratiqué une fente 51, dans laquelle s'insère la patte 52.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.

Les ailes 38 et 39, à l'extrémité adjacente à la butée 48, comportent des oreilles 55.The wings 38 and 39, at the end adjacent to the stop 48, have ears 55.

On conçoit que l'organe ainsi formé affecte la forme d'un conduit à section rectangulaire dans lequel s'étend un premier canal 56 qui se trouve ménagé entre les barrettes 35, 35a et la languette 42, ce canal pouvant recevoir une première languette méplate 57 qui est enserrée élastiquement entre ces deux éléments. Du côté opposé au canal 56 est formé un second canal 58 ménagé entre la languette 42 et le fond de l'âme 37, celui-ci étant destiné à recevoir une seconde languette mâle 59.It will be appreciated that 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. On the side opposite the channel 56 is formed 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.

On remarquera que la butée 48 s'étend jusqu'au voisinage de l'extrémité libre 42a de la languette 42 de sorte qu'il est impossible d'insérer celle-ci dans une mauvaise postion.It will be noted that the 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.

Grâce à cette disposition, les languettes s'insèrent sans effort important dans les canaux et un bon contact électrique est assuré.Thanks to this arrangement, the tongues are inserted without significant effort into the channels and good electrical contact is ensured.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits et représentés. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described and shown. Many detailed modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
