With these couplings, the current of the axially successive contact rings in the rotor is led to the outside with the help of permanently soldered connection cables. These contact rings are tapped from metal strips with incised and arched contact webs, which is known for example from DE 39 18 234 A1.

Small cutouts 26 are arranged to bend the first flag 7. The first slip rings 4 are formed by a positive groove connection 1 1, in particular by a dovetail tongue / groove connection, which results from bending into a ring 4.
