Abstract

A connection means serves for the electrical coupling of ends of bus bars situated in protection sheaths, and has clips under the action of resilient members and associated with each phase to be connected, the clips being actuated by as many locking means as there are phases to be coupled. The heads of the locking means have a shape and arrangement such that the mechanical association of the upstream and downstream sheath ends can only be effected in the open state of the clips, while the positive closing of the device can only be effected in the inverse state.
