Electrically conductive connection between abutting conduct rail section

摘要

The invention relates to an electrically conductive connection between abutting single sections of conductor rails. This connection is made by means of a current conduction cable consisting of bunched conductors and contact shoes. However, in order to be able to accommodate the current conduction cable within the cross-sectional contour of the conductor rails, the cable shoes are in each case constructed in the form of a cylindrical or prismatic connector pin which can be inserted into an opening of corresponding shape within the conductor rail. In most cases, such openings exist in any case in the conductor rails after these have been produced as a hollow section in an extrusion process. The connector pins are suitably of hollow construction and accommodate in their interior the bunched conductor which is only loosely enclosed by it. As a result, the bunched conductor can open out as a result of compression during a relative longitudinal movement of the connector pins.
