  • a gripping means 21 located outside the rectangular surface and along the upper edge of the foam plate 11 allows the element 20 to be held in the hand.
  • making a pre-cut consists of cutting the foam over part of its thickness so as to weaken it and make it easily breakable along the pre-cut.
  • the pre-cuts are made by laser, by pressing, by punching or by any other means.
  • the part of the foam plate delimited by the two precuts 28 and 29, through part of the edge of the opening 12 and through part of the lower edge of the foam plate forms a piece of detachable foam 23.
  • the contact device 20 is designed to be interposed between two conductors 32 and 34 electrically connected by tight contact thanks to a clamping means such as a clamping bolt 37 passing through the two conductors as well as the foam plate 11 by the opening 12.
  • the shape of the foam plate corresponds to the shape of the contacting surfaces of the two conductors.
  • the gripping means 21 is of any shape provided that it protrudes from the electrical connection when the contact device is inserted between the contact surfaces of the electrical connection. Therefore for all the embodiments described, the gripping means is located outside the surface of the foam plate 11 intended to come into contact with the contact surfaces of the two conductors of the electrical connection.
  • the bolt was loosened in order to separate the conductors by a distance at least equal to the thickness of the foam and the detachable piece 23 of foam was removed from the foam plate 11.
  • the operator holds it by his gripping device 21 and inserts the contact device 20 astride the bolt 37 until the bolt is placed in the location of the opening 12.
  • the operator can also insert the piece 23 in the space left free between the precuts 28 and 29 and tighten the bolt 37.
  • the device according to the invention is a contact device 30 consisting of a metal foam plate 11 of rectangular shape.
  • the metal foam plate 11 has three openings 12 and at least one first pre-cut 18 per opening.
  • Each pre-cut 18 is a straight segment whose first end is located on the edge of one of the openings 12 and whose second end is located on the outer edge of the foam plate 11.
  • a pre-cut 18 is connected to each opening.
  • a gripping element 21 located outside the rectangular surface of the foam plate 11 allows the element 30 to be held in the hand.
  • the foam plate can also include two rounded corners as shown on the Figure 5 .
  • the device according to the invention is a contact device 40 consisting of a metal foam plate 11 of rectangular shape.
  • the metal foam plate 11 has three circular openings 12 and at least one first pre-cut 28 and a second pre-cut 29 per opening 12.
  • the two pre-cuts 28 and 29 are straight segments, a first end of which is located on the edge of the opening 12 and the second end of which is located on the lower edge of the foam plate 11.
  • the precuts 28 and 29 are parallel and spaced apart by a width preferably equal to the diameter of the opening 12.
  • the contact device 40 also includes a gripping element 21.
  • FIG. 7 represents the installation of the device according to the invention in a three-bolt electrical connection according to the embodiment shown on the Figure 5 .
  • the contact device 30 is inserted between the two conductors 32 and 34.
  • the bolts 37, 38 and 39 have been loosened in order to separate the conductors by a distance at least equal to the thickness of the foam and the foam plate has been cut over its entire thickness along each pre-cut 18.
  • the operator spreads and slightly bends the two parts of foam on either side of each old pre-cut 18 so as to separate their edges so that a bolt can pass between them.
  • the operator holds the contact device 30 by its gripping device 21 and inserts it between the two conductive elements 32 and 34, each opening 12 straddling the bolts 37, 38 and 39.
  • the contact device is placed in place when each bolt is placed in an opening 12.
  • the operator then serves the bolts and when the two contact surfaces of the conductors 32 and 34 are brought together, the foam plate 11 is flattened and the edges slightly bent of the part parts and other of each old pre-cut 18 also flatten and cover the entire contact surface of the connection.
  • the contact device 50 consists of a metal foam plate 11 of rectangular shape.
  • the metal foam plate 11 has an opening 12, a first pre-cut 18 and a second pre-cut 19.
  • the pre-cut 18 is a straight segment whose first end is located on the edge of the opening 12 and whose second end is located on the outer and lower edge of the foam plate 11.
  • the pre-cut 19 is located in the extension of the pre-cut 18.
  • the pre-cut 19 is a straight segment whose first end is located on the edge of the opening 12 and whose second end is located on the outer and upper edge of the foam plate 11.
  • An element gripping means 31 located outside the rectangular surface of the foam plate 11 allows the element 50 to be gripped.
  • the gripping means 31 is located on the upper outer edge of the contact device 50 and maintains the foam plate even when it is cut over the entire length of the pre-cuts 18 and 19.
