Abstract
An apparatus for connecting contact sheets to form a contact body is disclosed, that provides for deforming projection-depression couplings formed in two or more interlocking sheets to form positive locks by which assemblies of sheets are formed. The apparatus includes crimping devices that crimp projection-depression couplings located in the interior area of the interlocked sheets and projection-depression couplings located adjacent the side edges of the interlocked sheets, again to form positive locks by which assemblies of sheets are formed.
