Claims
- 1. A mounting rack, comprising:
at least two center transverse rails having rear faces resting on each other and defining a gap, and having inner faces directed into an interior of the mounting rack; and a spring contact strip fitted on the inner face of at least one of said center transverse rails, wherein said spring contact strip comprises a plurality of contact tongues which extend into the gap between the rear faces of said two center transverse rails.
- 2. The mounting rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein:
said center transverse rails are arranged in a region of a front face of the mounting rack, and the inner faces of said center transverse rails face away from the front face of the mounting rack.
- 3. The mounting rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said contact tongues extends at an angle away from a main portion of said spring contact strip.
- 4. The mounting rack as claimed in claim 3, wherein:
each of said contact tongues terminates at a respective distal end of said tongue; and each of said distal ends comprises contact corners that are angled out of a plane of said tongue.
- 5. The mounting rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein:
at least one of said center transverse rails comprises a longitudinally extending mounting edge on the inner face of said transverse rail; and said spring contact strip further comprises:
a continuous retaining strip from which said elongated contact tongues extend; and a plurality of clamping blades extending from said continuous retaining strip, wherein said clamping blades each form a clamping region together with said continuous retaining strip, for clamping said spring contact strip onto said mounting edge of said transverse rail.
- 6. The mounting rack as claimed in claim 5, wherein:
said contact tongues alternate with said clamping blades along said continuous retaining strip; said contact tongues are angled off from said continuous retaining strip in a first direction; and said clamping blades are bent back to form the clamping region in a direction generally opposite the first direction.
- 7. A mounting rack, comprising:
an electrically conductive transverse rail; a further electrically conductive element separated from said transverse rail at at least one location by a gap; and an electrically conductive spring contact strip; wherein said spring contact strip comprises:
a main body mounted to said transverse rail outside the gap; and a resilient extension contacting said further element within the gap.
- 8. The mounting rack as claimed in claim 7, wherein said main body of said spring contact strip comprises:
a base portion; and a clamping blade; wherein:
said resilient extension is an essentially planar tongue angled out of a plane of said base portion in a first direction; and said clamping blade is a bracket bent out of the plane of said base portion in a second direction that is essentially opposite to the first direction.
- 9. A spring contact strip, comprising:
a plurality of spring contact tongues; a plurality of clamping blades respectively alternating with each of said spring contact tongues; and a conductive strip interconnecting said spring contact tongues and said clamping blades; wherein:
each said spring contact tongue is an extension angled out from a plane of said conductive strip in a first direction; and each said clamping blade is an extension bent out from the plane of said conductive strip in a second direction that is essentially opposite to the first direction.
