Electrical couplings and components

摘要

A grounding contact member for electrically connecting cooperating metal shells in a coupling comprises a metal band divided along both edges into several spring contact fingers that are bent inwardly into two U-shape portions. The contact member is located in an annular recess around the inside of a coupling ring with the fingers at one end engaging the metal shell on which the coupling ring is mounted and the fingers at the other end engaging the other metal shell to which the coupling ring is connected.
