Device for grounding a plug-in unit

摘要

The bridging unit includes a contact element (18) with first and second legs (22,23) that are connected to each other at the end and run parallel to each other. When a first contact is moved, the free end of the first leg of the contact element that is turned away from a second fixed contact fits closely to the first contact either directly or using a current conducting coupling piece. The free end of the second leg turned away from the first contact rubs against the second contact. An Independent claim is also included for an electrical earthing apparatus.
