Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Querbrücker für eine elektrische Klemme zum elektrischen Verbinden von Stromschienen der Klemme sowie die elektrische Klemme mit der Stromschiene und dem Querbrücker.The invention relates to a cross jumper for an electrical terminal for electrically connecting busbars of the terminal and the electrical terminal to the busbar and the transverse jumper.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Querbrücker bekannt, die auch als Querverbinder oder Steckbrücker bezeichnet werden, um eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen Stromschienen zweier oder mehrerer Klemmen, wie Reihen-, Anschluss- und/oder Verbindungsklemmen, zu ermöglichen.Various transverse jumpers are known from the prior art, which are also referred to as a cross connector or jumper to allow an electrically conductive connection between busbars of two or more terminals, such as series, connection and / or connection terminals.

Aus der DE 44 14 148 sind Querbrücker bekannt, welche aus einer Umspritzung und einem stromführenden Bauteil bestehen. Das stromführende Bauteil ist aus einem Flachmaterial hergestellt und weist mindestens zwei U-förmig angeordnete Klemmzungen auf, die an ihren freien Enden kreisbogenförmige Ausbuchtungen aufweisen, die an dem Durchmesser eines Rundstabs ansteckbar sind. Die als Federarme ausgebildeten Klemmzungen erzeugen dabei eine zweidimensionale Kontaktkraft, welche sich im fortwährenden Betrieb bedingt durch Fertigungstoleranzen und dem Setzverhalten der Bauteile stark vermindert, so dass mit zunehmendem Alter des Querbrückers keine ausreichende Kontaktierung, und damit elektrische Verbindung, mehr gewährleistet ist. Weiterhin besitzen die aus der DE 44 14 148 bekannten Querbrücker nur eine sehr kleine Kontaktzone zur Kontaktierung zweier Potentiale, welche am unteren Ende der Federarme angeordnet ist, so dass eine äußerst genaue Positionierung des Querbrückers an der Klemme zur Gewährleistung der sicheren Kontaktierung notwendig ist. Ferner sind aus der DE 197 08 649 Querbrücker bekannt, die aus einem Stück aus flachem Blechmaterial ausgestanzt sind und jeweils eine obere Brückungsschiene besitzen, von der sich in Art eines Kamms mindestens zwei oder mehrere flache Steckzungen hinweg erstrecken. Jede Steckzunge ist durch einen in Steckrichtung sich erstreckenden, etwa mittig angeordneten Trennschlitz in zwei relativ zueinander federnde Kontaktschenkel unterteilt. Allerdings besteht auch bei dieser Lehre das Problem, dass die Federarme im Fertigungsprozess aufgespreizt werden, so dass im laufenden Betrieb bedingt durch die Fertigungstoleranzen und dem Setzverhalten der Bauteile die Kontaktierungskräfte nachlassen, so dass auch diese Lehre keine langfristig sichere Kontaktierung ermöglicht.From the DE 44 14 148 Querbrücker are known which consist of an encapsulation and a current-carrying component. The current-carrying component is made of a flat material and has at least two U-shaped arranged clamping tongues, which have arcuate bulges at their free ends, which are attachable to the diameter of a round rod. Trained as spring arms clamping tongues thereby generate a two-dimensional contact force, which is greatly reduced in continuous operation due to manufacturing tolerances and setting behavior of the components, so that with increasing age of the transverse jumper sufficient contact, and thus electrical connection is more guaranteed. Furthermore, from the DE 44 14 148 known Querbrücker only a very small contact zone for contacting two potentials, which is arranged at the lower end of the spring arms, so that a very accurate positioning of the transverse jumper on the terminal to ensure secure contact is necessary. Furthermore, from the DE 197 08 649 Querbrücker known, which are punched out of a piece of flat sheet material and each having an upper Brückungsschiene from the extend in the manner of a comb at least two or more flat tabs away. Each tongue is divided by a plug-in direction extending, approximately centrally disposed separating slot in two relatively resilient contact legs. However, there is also the problem in this teaching that the spring arms are spread in the manufacturing process, so that the contacting forces diminish during operation due to the manufacturing tolerances and the settling behavior of the components, so that this teaching does not allow long-term secure contact.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Querbrücker anzugeben, der einerseits besonders kostengünstig herstellbar ist und auch bei lang andauernder Benutzung eine andauernd sichere Kontaktierung ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a cross jumper, on the one hand is particularly inexpensive to produce and even with prolonged use allows a continuous secure contact.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Demnach wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch einen Querbrücker für eine elektrische Klemme zum elektrischen Verbinden von Stromschienen der Klemme, wobei der Querbrücker ein Kopfteil und wenigstens ein federndes Paar Klemmzungen zum Eingreifen in eine Öffnung der Stromschiene aufweist, wobei die Klemmzungen jeweils eine Innenseite und eine Außenseite aufweisen, die Außenseiten jeweils einen Kontaktbereich zum Kontaktieren mit der Öffnung ausbilden, die Klemmzungen jeweils derart mit dem Kopfteil verbunden und mit Federkraft beaufschlagt sind, dass die Innenseiten eines Klemmzungenpaares gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind und im nichtkontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Stromschiene beabstandet voneinander angeordnet sind, die Klemmzungen sich jeweils vom Kopfteil hin zu einer Spitze erstrecken, und die Innenseiten jeweils eine derart ausgestaltete Kontur aufweisen, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Stromschiene nur die Spitzen der Klemmzungen aneinander anliegen, im nichtkontaktierenden Zustand die Spitzen nicht aneinander anliegen und zwischen dem Kopfteil und den Spitzen ein Spalt zwischen den Innenseiten ausgebildet ist.Accordingly, the object is achieved by a transverse jumper for an electrical terminal for electrically connecting busbars of the terminal, wherein the transverse jumper has a head part and at least one resilient pair of clamping tongues for engaging in an opening of the bus bar, wherein the clamping tongues each have an inner side and an outer side in that the outer sides in each case form a contact region for contacting with the opening, the clamping tongues respectively connected to the head part in such a way and with Spring force are applied, that the inner sides of a pair of clamping tongues are arranged opposite one another and are arranged in the non-contacting state of the pair of clamping tongues with the busbar spaced from each other, the clamping tongues each extend from the head portion to a tip, and the inner sides each have a contour configured such that in contacting state of the pair of clamping tongues with the busbar only the tips of the clamping tongues abut each other, in the non-contacting state, the tips do not abut each other and between the head part and the tips, a gap between the inner sides is formed.

Die Erfindung geht somit einen neuen Weg, indem im Gegensatz zu den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Querbrückern die Kontaktkräfte dadurch erhöht werden, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Stromschiene nur die Spitzen der Klemmzungen aneinander anliegen, sich also somit aufeinander abstützen und dadurch die Klemmzungen stabilisieren. Die Spitzen der Klemmzungen können derart aneinander anliegen, dass sie einen linienförmigen und/oder sehr kleinen flächigen Abstützbereich ausbilden. Dadurch, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Stromschiene, also im eingreifenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares in die Öffnung, ein Spalt zwischen den Innenseiten ausgebildet ist, können Fertigungstoleranzen der Klemmzungen ausgeglichen werden, was wiederum eine deutliche verbesserte Kontaktierung zwischen den Klemmzungen und der Stromschiene bewirkt. Der Querbrücker kann aus einem flachen Blechmaterial, beispielsweise aus galvanisch oder durch Schmelztauchüberzug vorverzinntem Kuper, ausgestanzt sein, wobei die Klemmzungen bevorzugt als Federarme ausgebildet sind. Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Querbrücker im Anwendungsfall, also wenn zwischen wenigstens zwei Stromschienen der Klemme mittels des Querbrückers eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung hergestellt ist, mittels seiner Klemmzungen derart in die Stromschiene eingreift, dass durch den Kontaktbereich mit der Stromschiene ein elektrisch leitender Kontakt hergestellt ist. Dadurch, dass in einem derart kontaktierenden Zustand zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Stromschiene die Klemmzungen an ihren freien Enden, also an den Spitzen, sich aufeinander abstützen und zwischen den freien Enden und dem Kopfteil ein Spalt ausgebildet ist, wird im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik von einem ganz anderen Prinzip Gebrauch gemacht, dass in einer weitaus verbesserten Kontaktierung zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Klemme, auch nach vielen Steckvorgängen des Querbrückers in die Öffnung der Stromschiene, resultiert. Mit anderen Worten ist der erfindungsgemäße Querbrücker derart ausgestaltet, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand zwischen den Klemmzungen und der Stromschiene die Spitzen der Klemmzungen aneinander anliegen, während im nichtkontaktierenden Zustand die Spitzen nicht aneinander anliegen, wobei sowohl im kontaktierenden Zustand sowie im nichtkontaktierenden Zustand zwischen dem Kopfteil und den Spitzen ein Spalt zwischen den Innenseiten ausgebildet ist. Grundsätzlich kann die Kontur der Innenseite beliebig zur Ausbildung des Spaltes ausgestaltet sein. Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass die Innenseite eine linsenartige und/oder geschwungene Kontur aufweist. Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Innenseiten eine derart ausgestaltete Kontur aufweisen, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Stromschiene der Spalt zwischen den Innenseiten eine ovalartige Form aufweist. Durch derartige Ausgestaltungen der Innenseiten bzw. deren Konturen kann erreicht werden, dass die Klemmzungen im gesteckten Zustand besonders gut stabilisiert werden, was in einer sehr sicheren und verlässlichen Kontaktierung zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Stromschiene resultiert.The invention thus goes a new way by the contact forces are increased in contrast to the known from the prior art, the transverse contact, that in the contacting state of the pair of clamping tongues with the busbar only the tips of the clamping tongues abut each other, thus thus support each other and thereby stabilize the clamping tongues. The tips of the clamping tongues can abut one another in such a way that they form a linear and / or very small areal supporting area. Due to the fact that a gap between the inner sides is formed in the contacting state of the pair of clamping tongues with the conductor rail, ie in the engaging state of the pair of clamping tongues in the opening, manufacturing tolerances of the clamping tongues can be compensated, which in turn causes a significant improved contacting between the clamping tongues and the busbar , The transverse bridge can be made of a flat sheet metal material, for example, galvanic or be pre-tinned Kuper by hot dip coating, punched out, the clamping tongues preferably designed as spring arms are. According to the invention, it is provided that, in the application, ie when between at least two busbars of the terminal by means of the transverse jumper an electrically conductive connection is made engages by means of its clamping tongues in the busbar, that through the contact region with the busbar, an electrically conductive contact is made. The fact that in such a contacting state between the transverse bridge and the busbar, the clamping tongues at their free ends, so at the tips, are supported on each other and between the free ends and the head part a gap is formed, in contrast to the prior art of made use of a completely different principle that results in a much improved contact between the jumper and the terminal, even after many mating operations of the jumper in the opening of the busbar. In other words, the cross jumper according to the invention is designed such that in the contacting state between the clamping tongues and the busbar, the tips of the clamping tongues abut each other, while in the non-contacting state, the tips do not abut each other, both in the contacting state and in the non-contacting state between the head part and the tips of a gap between the inner sides is formed. In principle, the contour of the inside can be designed as desired for the formation of the gap. According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the inside has a lenticular and / or curved contour. According to a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the inner sides have a contour configured in such a way that in the contacting state of the clamping tongue pair with the bus bar, the gap between the inner sides has an oval-like shape. By such embodiments of the inner sides or their contours can be achieved that the terminal tongues are particularly well stabilized when mated, resulting in a very safe and reliable contact between the jumper and the busbar.

Nach einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Kontaktbereich derart ausgestaltet ist, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Stromschiene das Klemmzungenpaar in der Öffnung in Einführrichtung verschiebbar ist. Das bedeutet, dass gemäß dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung das Klemmzungenpaar, und damit der Querbrücker, in der Öffnung verschiebbar ist, ohne dass der Kontakt, also der elektrische Kontakt, zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Stromschiene unterbrochen wird. Mit anderen Worten ermöglicht diese Ausführungsform in besonders vorteiliger Weise gegenüber dem Stand der Technik, dass der Querbrücker nicht nur in einer einzigen Position, sondern in verschiedenen Positionen entlang des Kontaktbereiches zum Herstellen der elektrischen Verbindung an der Stromschiene positionierbar ist, wobei die verschiedenen Positionen über das Verschieben des Querbrückers in Einführrichtung in die Öffnung erreichbar sind. Dadurch wird der nachteilige Effekt von Fertigungstoleranzen deutlich reduziert, so dass der Querbrücker in verschiedenen "Eintauchtiefen" in die Öffnung einen sicheren und verlässlichen elektrischen Kontakt zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Stromschiene ermöglicht. Vorzugsweise sind die den Klemmzungen eines Klemmzungenpaares zugeordneten Kontaktbereiche im kontaktierenden Zustand parallel zueinander angeordnet und erstrecken sich über jeweils über eine Länge von wenigen Millimetern bis hin zu einigen Zentimetern, also beispielsweise von 1, 2, 3, 4 oder 5 mm bis hin zu 1, 2, 3, 4 oder 5 cm entlang der Außenseiten der Klemmzungen. Grundsätzlich kann, wie bereits ausgeführt, der Querbrücker beliebig ausgestaltet sein, ist vorzugsweise jedoch aus einem Metall ausgestanzt. Nach einer weiteren besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass eine isolierende Überspritzung im Bereich des Kopfteils des Querbrückers angeordnet ist. Eine derartige Umspritzung kann aus einem isolierenden Material wie einem Kunststoff vorgesehen und als Kappe ausgebildet sein, mittels derer der Querbrücker auch ohne isolierendes Werkzeug auf die Stromschiene aufgesteckt bzw. von der Stromschiene entfernt werden kann.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the contact region is designed such that in the contacting state of the pair of clamping tongues with the busbar, the pair of clamping tongues in the opening in the insertion direction is displaceable. This means that according to this preferred embodiment of the invention, the clamping tongue pair, and thus the cross jumper, is displaceable in the opening, without the contact, so the electrical contact, between the jumper and the bus bar is interrupted. In other words, this embodiment, in a particularly advantageous manner compared to the prior art, makes it possible to position the transverse jumper on the busbar not only in a single position but in various positions along the contact region for establishing the electrical connection Move the cross jumper can be reached in the direction of insertion into the opening. As a result, the adverse effect of manufacturing tolerances is significantly reduced, so that the cross jumper in different "immersion depths" in the opening allows safe and reliable electrical contact between the jumper and the busbar. Preferably, the contact tongues associated with the clamping tongues of a pair of clamping tongues are arranged parallel to one another in the contacting state and each extend over a length of a few Millimeters to a few centimeters, so for example from 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 mm to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 cm along the outer sides of the clamping tongues. Basically, as already stated, the transverse bridge can be configured as desired, but is preferably punched out of a metal. According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that an insulating overmolding is arranged in the region of the head part of the transverse jumper. Such encapsulation may be provided of an insulating material such as a plastic and be formed as a cap, by means of which the cross jumper can be plugged without insulating tool on the busbar or removed from the busbar.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist zwischen dem Kopfteil und der Klemmzunge jeweils eine Sollbruchstelle vorgesehen. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, dass zwischen dem Kopfteil und dem Klemmzungenpaar ein Schaft vorgesehen ist, und das Kopfteil, der Schaft und das Klemmzungenpaar einstückig ausgebildet sind. Besonders bevorzugt sind eine Mehrzahl von Klemmzungenpaaren vorgesehen. Somit wird es ermöglicht, verschiedene Konfigurationen von Querbrückern dadurch herzustellen, dass die zur Querbrückung nicht benötigten Klemmzungen mittels der Sollbruchstelle ausgebrochen werden, so dass beispielsweise eine Querbrückung zwischen zwei Stromschienen ermöglicht wird, die durch eine dritte Stromschiene voneinander getrennt sind. Ebenfalls ist bevorzugt, dass die Umspritzung auch an dem Schaft vorgesehen ist, so dass der Querbrücker besonders sicher durch Anfassen an der Umspritzung handhabbar ist, ohne dass ein Berühren mit möglicherweise stromführenden Teilen des Querbrückers stattfinden kann.According to a further preferred embodiment, in each case a predetermined breaking point is provided between the head part and the clamping tongue. Furthermore, it is preferred that between the head part and the pair of clamping tongues, a shaft is provided, and the head part, the shaft and the pair of clamping tongues are integrally formed. Particularly preferably, a plurality of clamping tongue pairs are provided. Thus, it is possible to produce different configurations of transverse jumpers in that the clamping tongues not required for the transverse bridging are broken by means of the predetermined breaking point, so that, for example, a transverse bridging between two bus bars is enabled, which are separated by a third bus bar. It is also preferred that the encapsulation is also provided on the shaft, so that the transverse jumper can be handled particularly securely by gripping the encapsulation without touching with possibly live parts of the jumper can take place.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird weiterhin gelöst durch eine elektrische Klemme mit einer Stromschiene und mit einem Querbrücker wie vorab beschrieben, wobei das Klemmzungenpaar derart ausgestaltet ist, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Öffnung das Klemmzungenpaar klemmend an der Öffnung anliegt.The object of the invention is further achieved by an electrical terminal with a busbar and with a transverse jumper as described above, wherein the pair of clamping tongues is designed such that in the contacting state of the pair of clamping tongues with the opening the pair of clamping tongues clamped against the opening.

Durch eine derartige Klemme mit erfindungsgemäßem Querbrücker wird eine besonders sichere, einfache und kostengünstige Möglichkeit angegeben, auch über längere Zeiträume hinweg eine verlässliche elektrische Kontaktierung zwischen dem Querbrücker und einer Stromschiene der elektrischen Klemme zu bewerkstelligen. Die Öffnung und/oder die Klemmzungen eines zu der Öffnung korrespondierenden Klemmzungenpaares können derart ausgestaltet sein, dass im verbundenen Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares mit der Öffnung das Außenmaß des Klemmzungenpaares zu dem Innenmaß der Öffnung korrespondiert.By such a clamp with inventive cross-jumper a particularly safe, simple and inexpensive way is given to accomplish a reliable electrical contact between the jumper and a power rail of the electrical terminal for longer periods of time. The opening and / or the clamping tongues of a pair of clamping tongues corresponding to the opening can be configured in such a way that, in the connected state of the clamping tongue pair with the opening, the outer dimension of the clamping tongue pair corresponds to the internal dimension of the opening.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Klemmzungenpaar derart ausgestaltet ist, dass das Klemmzungenpaar im kontaktierenden Zustand mit der Stromschiene bei einer Verschiebung des Klemmzungenpaares in Einführrichtung in die Öffnung klemmend an der Öffnung anliegt. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, dass das Klemmzungenpaar nicht nur in einer einzigen Position eine sichere Verbindung zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Klemme herstellt, sondern entlang eines sich in Einführrichtung erstreckenden Kontaktbereiches eine verlässliche und sichere Kontaktierung zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Klemme ermöglicht.According to a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the pair of clamping tongues is designed such that the pair of clamping tongues in the contacting state with the busbar with a displacement of the pair of clamping tongues in the insertion in the opening clamped against the opening. By such a configuration it is achieved that the pair of clamping tongues produces not only in a single position a secure connection between the transverse jumper and the terminal, but along a extending in the insertion direction Contact area allows a reliable and secure contact between the jumper and the terminal.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die anliegende Zeichnung anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to a preferred embodiment.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen erfindungsgemäßen Querbrücker für eine elektrische Klemme, wobei der Querbrücker ein Kopfteil 1 aufweist, welches vorliegend mit einem isolierenden Material umspritzt 2 ist, damit der Querbrücker an seinem Kopfteil 1 durch einen Bediener angefasst werden kann, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, mit einem stromführenden Teil des Querbrückers in Berührung zu kommen. Der Querbrücker ist in eine Öffnung 3 einer Stromschiene 4, ersichtlich in Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 einführbar bzw. aus der Öffnung 3 entfernbar ist. In diesem Zusammenhang zeigt Fig. 2 den erfindungsgemäßen Querbrücker ohne Umspritzung 2, wobei zwischen dem Kopfteil 1 und den beiden sich jeweils vom Kopfteil 1 wegerstreckenden Klemmzungenpaaren 5 ein Schaft 6 vorgesehen ist. Fig. 1 shows a transverse jumper according to the invention for an electrical terminal, the transverse jumper having a head part 1, which is presently encapsulated with an insulating material 2, so that the transverse jumper can be touched at its head part 1 by an operator, without the risk of having a current-carrying Part of the jumper to come into contact. The transverse jumper is in an opening 3 of a busbar 4, visible in FIG FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 insertable or removable from the opening 3. In this context shows Fig. 2 the cross jumper according to the invention without encapsulation 2, wherein between the head part 1 and the two each extending away from the head part 1 clamping tongue pairs 5, a shaft 6 is provided.

Zwischen dem Schaft 6 und den Klemmzungen 5 ist jeweils eine der Klemmzunge 5 zugeordnete Sollbruchstelle 7 vorgesehen, so dass nach Bedarf eine Klemmzunge 5 bzw. ein Klemmzungenpaar 5 mittels der Sollbruchstelle 7 von dem Querbrücker durch Herausbrechen entfernt werden kann. Das Kopfteil 1, der Schaft 6 und die beiden Klemmzungenpaare 5 sind einstückig aus einem galvanisch oder durch Schmelztauchüberzug vorverzinntem Kupfer ausgebildet, und können durch Ausstanzen aus einem Blech hergestellt sein. Somit lassen sich, wenn der Querbrücker mit seinen Klemmzungenpaaren 5 jeweils in eine Stromschiene 4 einer Klemme eingeführt ist, so dass die Klemmzungenpaare 5 an der Stromschiene 4 anliegen, wie aus Fig. 3 oder Fig. 4 ersichtlich, eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen der dem jeweiligen Klemmzungenpaar 5 zugeordneten Stromschiene 4 erreichen.Between the shank 6 and the clamping tongues 5 each one of the clamping tongue 5 associated predetermined breaking point 7 is provided so that, if necessary, a clamping tongue 5 and a pair of clamping tongues 5 can be removed by breaking the breaker 7 by the transverse bridge by breaking out. The head part 1, the shaft 6 and the two pairs of clamping tongues 5 are integrally formed from a tin-plated or dipped hot-dip coated copper, and may be made by punching from a metal sheet. Thus, when the cross jumper is inserted with its pairs of clamping tongues 5 each in a busbar 4 of a terminal, so that the clamping tongue pairs 5 abut the busbar 4, as from FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 can be seen, reach an electrically conductive connection between the respective terminal pair 5 associated busbar 4.

Die Klemmzungen 5 weisen jeweils eine Innenseite 8 und eine Außenseite 9 auf, wobei die Innenseiten 8 eines Klemmzungenpaares 5 gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind. Die Klemmzungenpaare 5 sind federnd derart ausgebildet, dass sie, wie aus Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ersichtlich, in einem nichtkontaktierenden Zustand mit einer Stromschiene 4 beabstandet voneinander angeordnet sind.The clamping tongues 5 each have an inner side 8 and an outer side 9, wherein the inner sides 8 of a clamping tongue pair 5 are arranged opposite one another. The clamping tongue pairs 5 are resiliently designed such that they, as out of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 can be seen, arranged in a non-contacting state with a bus bar 4 spaced from each other.

Wenn der Querbrücker in eine Öffnung 3 einer Stromschiene 4 eingeführt ist, wie in Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 ersichtlich, liegen die Außenseiten 9 an der Stromschiene 4 an und bewirken dadurch eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen den Klemmzungen 5 und der Stromschiene 4. Dabei bilden die Außenseiten 9 jeweils einen Kontaktbereich 10 derart aus, dass selbst bei einer Verschiebung des Klemmzungenpaares 5 in der Öffnung 3 entlang des Kontaktbereiches 10 in Einführrichtung des Klemmzungenpaares 5 in die Öffnung 3 sowohl in einer ersten Position, dargestellt in Fig. 3a, sowie in einer wenigstens zweiten Position, dargestellt in Fig. 3b, eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Klemme hergestellt ist. Der Kontaktbereich 10 ist also derart ausgestaltet, dass das Klemmzungenpaar 5 in der Öffnung 3 in Einführrichtung bewegbar ist, ohne dass der elektrische Kontakt zwischen dem Querbrücker und der Klemme unterbrochen wird.When the transverse jumper is inserted into an opening 3 of a bus bar 4, as in FIG FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 can be seen, the outer sides 9 are applied to the busbar 4 and thereby cause an electrically conductive connection between the clamping tongues 5 and the busbar 4. The outer sides 9 each form a contact region 10 such that even with a displacement of the clamping tongue pair 5 in the opening 3 along the contact region 10 in the insertion direction of the pair of clamping tongues 5 in the opening 3 both in a first position, shown in FIG Fig. 3a , as well as in at least a second position, shown in FIG Fig. 3b , an electrically conductive connection is made between the jumper and the terminal. The contact region 10 is thus designed such that the clamping tongue pair 5 is movable in the opening 3 in the insertion direction, without the electrical contact between the transverse jumper and the terminal is interrupted.

Die Innenseiten 8 sind erfindungsgemäß derart ausgestaltet, dass im kontaktierenden Zustand des Klemmzungenpaares 5 mit der Öffnung 3 die Spitzen 11 des Klemmzungenpaares 5 aneinander anliegen, so dass zwischen dem Kopfteil 1 und den Spitzen 11 ein Spalt 12 zwischen den Innenseiten 8 der Klemmzungen 5 ausgebildet ist. Dabei ist, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, der Spalt 12 bzw. die Innenseiten 8 derart ausgestaltet, dass die Innenseiten 8 eine linsenartige und/oder geschwungene Kontur aufweisen.The inner sides 8 are inventively designed such that in the contacting state of the pair of clamping tongues 5 with the opening 3, the tips 11 of the clamping tongue pair 5 abut each other, so that between the head part 1 and the tips 11, a gap 12 between the inner sides 8 of the clamping tongues 5 is formed , It is how out Fig. 4 can be seen, the gap 12 and the inner sides 8 such designed such that the inner sides 8 have a lenticular and / or curved contour.

Dadurch, dass die Spitzen 11 des Klemmzungenpaares 5 im kontaktierenden Zustand des Querbrückers mit der Stromschiene 4 aneinander anliegen und im Bereich zwischen dem Kopfteil 1 und den Spitzen 11 ein Spalt 12 zwischen den Innenseiten 8 ausgebildet ist, ist aufgrund der federnden Ausgestaltung der Klemmzungen 5 auch bei Fertigungstoleranzen der Klemmzungen 5 eine sichere und verlässliche Kontaktierung zwischen den Kontaktbereichen 10 und der Stromschiene 4, auch über längliche Zeiträume, garantiert. Ebenfalls kann, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, der erfindungsgemäße Querbrücker aufgrund der länglichen Ausgestaltung des Kontaktbereiches 10 eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen zwei verschiedenen Stromschienen 4 ermöglichen.
