Le dispositif, selon l'invention, est caractérisé en ce qu'il est réalisé à partir d'un corps métallique, bon conducteur de l'électricité convenablement découpé et plié pour présenter, une première paire de branches s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement et destinées à s'insérer, chacune, dans un organe de contact électrique femelle et, une seconde paire de branches s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement et destinées à s'engager, chacune dans un organe femelle de contact électrique, ladite seconde paire de branches étant orientée dans une direction opposée par rapport à la première paire de branches.The device according to the invention is characterized in that it is made from a body metallic, good conductor of electricity suitably cut and folded to present a first pair of branches extending substantially in parallel and each intended to fit into a female electrical contact member and, a second pair of branches extending substantially parallel and intended to engage, each in a female organ of electrical contact, said second pair of branches being oriented in an opposite direction with respect to to the first pair of branches.
Suivant une caractéristique constructive, l'une des branches comporte des pattes de sertissage pour la fixation d'un conducteur électrique.According to a constructive characteristic, one of the branches has crimping lugs for fixing an electrical conductor.
Suivant un détail constructif, le corps métallique est découpé sensiblement en forme de H et plié en forme de Z, afin de présenter une âme et quatre branches, la première paire de branches formant une extrémité du Z et la seconde paire de branches l'autre extrémité du Z, l'âme s'étendant entre les deux extrémités.According to a constructive detail, the body metal is cut substantially into an H shape and folded into a Z shape, to present a soul and four branches, the first pair of branches forming a end of the Z and the second pair of branches the other end of the Z, the core extending between the two extremities.
Suivant une variante de réalisation, le corps métallique est découpé pour présenter deux parties en forme de H afin de présenter, pour chaque partie, quatre branches et une âme, les deux parties au niveau des âmes étant reliées par une barrette et pliées au niveau de ladite barrette pour s'étendre l'une au-dessus de l'autre, chaque partie étant cambrée de manière que les convexités soient tournées en regard l'une de l'autre.According to an alternative embodiment, the metal body is cut to present two parts H-shaped in order to present, for each part, four branches and a soul, the two parts at the level souls being connected by a bar and folded in level of said bar to extend one above on the other, each part being arched so that the convexities are turned opposite one the other.
Enfin, l'une des branches de l'une des parties est prolongée par des pattes de sertissage pour la fixation d'un conducteur. Finally, one of the branches of one of the parts is extended by crimping lugs for fixing a conductor.
