Shorting contact support for a plug-in projection in an igniter receptacle

Claim 1

Shorting contact support for a plug-in an igniter receptacle wherein a plug has a plug in projection surrounding socket contacts, the plug in projection comprising at least one shoulder for lifting at least one resilient contact element of a shorting bridge upon insertion of the plug in projection between diametrically opposite wings, comprising a first shorting bridge having two resilient contact elements connected to one another by means of an edge of a metal plate, and a support housing having an annular base on which two diametrically opposite wings are integrally formed parallel to an insertion direction and form a holder for a plug having sockets for the insertion of contact pins on an igniter receptacle the shorting contact support having a second shorting bridge which is essentially identical to the first shorting bridge, each wing containing one of the shorting bridges, so that at least one bridge shorts the contact pins which are arranged in one plane on the igniter receptacle when the plug is inserted, and wherein the holder is rotationally symmetrical through 180°, the second shorting bridge having at least one second resilient contact element lifted out of contact from one of the pins by a spike part of a secondary locking device.
