Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
An interconnection system for a panel, comprising: a panel, a terminal post of conducting material mounted in said panel, said post including a protruding portion extending externally of said panel, said panel including insulation means of insulation material encircling said post and supporting said post within said panel, a filter received over and in electrical contact with said protruding portion of said post, said filter being carried by said protruding portion of said post entirely externally of said panel, said filter including a conducting outer surface, a conducting strap of spring material having a first portion folded in conformity with said conducting outer surface of said filter and resiliently engaging said conducting outer surface for electrical contact therewith, said strap including a second portion bridging beTween said filter and said panel, said panel including electrical conducting means, and fastening means receiving said second portion of said strap fixedly to said electrical conducting means of said panel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
An interconnection system for a panel, comprising: a panel, a terminal post of conducting material mounted in said panel, said post including a protruding portion extending externally of said panel, said panel including insulation means of insulation material encircling said post and supporting said post within said panel, a filter received over and in electrical contact with said protruding portion of said post, said filter being carried by said protruding portion of said post entirely externally of said panel, said filter including a conducting outer surface, a conducting strap of spring material having a first portion folded in conformity with said conducting outer surface of said filter and resiliently engaging said conducting outer surface for electrical contact therewith, said strap including a second portion bridging beTween said filter and said panel, said panel including electrical conducting means, and fastening means receiving said second portion of said strap fixedly to said electrical conducting means of said panel.
