Abstract

A part ( 11 ) of a conducting bar ( 5 ) for an electrical apparatus, such as a terminal block, the part ( 11 ) of the conductive bar ( 5 ) comprising a first planar portion extending along an extension direction ( 15 ) of the part ( 11 ) of the conducting bar ( 5 ), a second planar portion ( 23 ) extending along the extension direction ( 15 ), the extension plane ( 25 ) of the second portion ( 23 ) being transversal to the extension plane ( 21 ) of the first portion. The part ( 11 ) has a first cutout along a first contour arranged in the first portion and a second cutout along a second contour arranged in the first portion.

Claims (16)

1. A part of a conducting bar for an electrical apparatus, the part of the conducting bar comprising:

a first portion being planar according to an extension plane of the first portion and extending along an extension direction of the part of the conducting bar,

a second portion being planar according to an extension plane of the second portion and extending along the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar, the extension plane of the second portion being transversal to the extension plane of the first portion, the first portion extending according to a determined length along the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar and the second portion also extending according to said determined length along the extension direction,

a first cutout along a first contour arranged in the first portion, a folding of the first cutout transversally to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar forming a first contact plug,

a second cutout along a second contour arranged in the first portion, a folding of the second cutout transversally to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar forming a second contact plug.

2. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 1 , wherein the first contour and/or the second contour are open contours.

3. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 1 , wherein a first folding axis of the first cutout is transversal to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar and/or wherein a second folding axis of the second cutout is transversal to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar.

4. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 3 , wherein, the first contour and the second contour are arranged between the first folding axis and the second folding axis with respect to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar.

5. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 1 , wherein the first contact plug and the second contact plug extend in parallel and transversally to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar.

6. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are produced by folding a planar base.

7. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 1 , wherein the first contour and the second contour are symmetrical along a plane transversal to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar.

8. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 7 , wherein, each contour has two portions extending along the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar.

9. The part of a conducting bar according to claim 1 , comprising a third portion extending along the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar, the extension plane of the third portion being transversal to the extension plane of the first portion.

10. The part of a conducting bar according to the preceding claim 9 , wherein the second portion and the third portion have the same angle with respect to the first portion transversally to the extension direction of the part of the conducting bar.

11. A conducting bar comprising a part of a conducting bar according to claim 1 .

12. A terminal block comprising a conducting bar according to claim 11 .
