7 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures SHEET PATENTED JUL 2 2 I975 PATENTED JUL 2 2 ms SHEET ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR .CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is related to my copending and commonly assigned patent applications Ser. Nos. 335,715 (now U.S. Pat. No. 3,845,451) and Ser. No. 336,033 (now U.S.-Pat. No. 3,828,301) both filed Feb. 26, 1973.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an arrangement for forming an electrical connection between two surfaces. More particularly this invention concerns an electrical connector for interconnecting two bus bars or the like.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known to form an electrical connection between two complementary surfaces with a contact sheet or strip as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,453,587 issued July 1, 1969 which is a strip of resilient metal formed with a plurality of parallel slits that subdivide its central region into a plurality of parallel tongues or contact lamellae extending between coplanar side portions. These tongues are twisted to lie at an angle to the plane of the side portions. Such a connector is compressed between the two complementary surfaces, resiliently deforming the lamellae so as to make a very good electrical connection.
One of the factors which influences the electrical resistance offered by such a connector is the force with which the lamellae bear on the surfaces; the greater the force the less the resistance. Another factor is the number of lamellae since each lamellae only bears with one edge on one surface and with its other edge on the other surface. A compromise must be made between these two factors since, if the number of tongues or lamellae is increased by decreasing the width of these lamellae, the force which the tongues exert on the surfaces is also decreased as their capacity for elastic deformation is decreased, and vice versa.
It has been suggested that the current-carrying capacity of such a connector can be increased, and the resistance decreased, by providing a pair of such connector sheets whose tongues project more above one face of the sheet than above the other. Two such sheets are used on top of one another, with the tongues of one sheet projecting through the other. Such an arrangement is twice as expensive as the above-described system, but presents a substantial increase in currentcarrying capacity. In addition such an arrangement takes up significantly more space between the surface, and is for other reasons often undesirable.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved electrical connector of the abovedescribed general type.
Another ojbect is the provision of such a connector which has greater current'carrying capacity and lower resistance to electrical current flow than the prior-art devices.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These objects are attained according to the present invention in a connector of the above-described general type wherein the side portions are longitudinally corrugatedly contracted. By this it is meant that these portions have a developed or extended length which is substantially greater than the length of the contracted strip. This effect is achieved according to a feature of this invention by corrugating or wrinkling the side portions.
In accordance with other features of the invention the tongues have middle regions which are substantially wider than their ends. Thus these tongues are formed in an initially flat metal sheet by punching out slots having a dumbbell profile, i.e. wider at the ends than at the center. The number of tongues per unit length in such a connector is substantially increased so that the conductivity across it is also greatly increased.
The longitudinally contracted sides can be formed with sinusoidal corrugations. It is also possible to form them as a succession of flattened loops, this being effected by crimping or wrinkling the side portions, then flattening them without allowing them to extend.
Such a connector can be used between two flat or curved surfaces. It is possible to apply a ring or disk connector of this type to a plug connector or the like, or conform it to any other desired shape.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pair of bus bars connected together according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the lower bus bar of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are perspective views of two embodiments of the connector according to the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is a top view of a connector according to this invention prior to contraction of its side portions.
SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION As shown in FIG. 1 a connection 1 is formed between a pair of flat bus bars 2 and 3 by interposing therebetween a pair of generallly flat connectors 4. A bolt 8 between the two connector strips 4 serves to secure these two bars 2 and 3 together and compress the strips 4. The strips are held by longitudinal slots at their edges with a spacing less than the width of the strip.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 each strip 4 comprises a pair of longitudinally corrugated side portions 7 formed with transverse corrugations 9 and joined together by tongues 5 which are wider at their middle regions 5' than toward their ends 5". Slots 6 of dumbbell shape as shown in FIG. 5 in an noncontracted strip are formed in the original metal strip to give these tongues 5 the widened waist 5'. The tongues 5 are also twisted about their longitudinal axes, that is, transverse to the longitudinal direction of the strip 4 as shown by arrow A, which is the direction of contraction of the side portions 7.
FIG. 4 shows a strip 4' which has side portions 7' formed as a succession of overlapping loops 10, which are formed by crimping or wrinkling the portions 7' as in FIG. 3, then flattening the corrugations in one direction while preventing the strip 4 from extending. This gives the strip 4 a fixed length. Here the extent of overlap of the loops 10 determines the extent of contraction, in FIG. 3 the determining factor is the height of the crests of the corrugations 9. In both cases it is easy to produce connector strips of almost any desired conductivity. I claim:
1. An electrical connector for electrically interconnecting two surfaces, said connector comprising a planar conductive metal sheet having a pair of generally coplanar longitudinally extending and longitudinally corrugatedly contracted side portions, the extended lengths of said side portions exceeding the length of said sheet along said side portions, and a plurality of parallel transverse resilient tongues extending between said portions and twisted from the plane of said portions, said tongues having ends joined to said sides and middle regions wider than said ends, said side portions being uniformly corrugated over their entire lengths and having more than one corrugation per tongue.
2. The connector defined in claim 1 wherein said side portions are formed with corrugations extending traversely, 1
3. The connector defined in claim 2 wherein said side portions are formed with a plurality of longitudinally succeeding loops.
4. The connector defined in claim.3 wherein said loops are flattened.
5. The connector defined in claim 1 wherein said surfaces are juxtaposed faces of a pair of flat plates sandwiching said sheet between them, said connector further comprising means urging said surfaces together against said sheet.
6. The connector defined in claim 5 wherein said means is a bolt passing through said plates.
7. The connector defined in claim 6 wherein a pair of such sheets in the form of strips are disposed on opposite sides of said bolt. v
