CONNECTION BETWEEN A METAL MEMBER AND A METAL BRAID

摘要

A method of connecting a metal braid to a metal member including the steps of crimping a strip (15) of metal around the braid (16) so that the strip (15) is electrically connected to, and physically grips, the braid (16). The crimping operation in effect rolls the two end regions (17) of the strip (15) so that they extend towards the intermediate region of the strip (15) trapping the braid (16). The two rolled end regions of the strip (15) are then engaged with the metal member (14) and a weld between the rolled end regions (17) of the strip (15) and the metal member (14) is effected.
