Patent ID: 8035032

Claim:
A cable support system having at least two cable support device elements, a first cable support device element and a second cable support device element, that can be mechanically connected in an electrically conducting manner, each of said cable support device elements having a connection section, said connection sections disposed such that they overlap, said cable support system comprising: at least one connection element connecting said cable support device elements, wherein the connection element comprises a press-on section and two latching arms extending from different sides with respect to the press-on section; each of said latching arms having a connection limb extending in a transverse direction to the extent of the press-on section and having a hook element disposed at each of a free end of the connection limb; the connection element being mounted under spring prestress for retaining together said cable support device elements; said press-on section being on a surface of the connection section of said first cable support device element and with said hook elements extending behind the connection section of said second cable support device element on an opposite surface of the connection section of said second cable support device element; said connection section of said first cable support device element further comprises at a first electrical contact face in contact with a second electrical contact face of said connection section of said second cable support device element, the connection of the first and second electrical contact faces forming a defined electrical connection of said first and second cable support device elements; the first electrical contact face being delimited on two sides by breakthroughs extending through the connection section of said first cable support device element; said latching arms and connection limbs configured to extend through both of the connection sections of said first and second cable support device elements bearing the electrical contact faces on each of said cable support device elements, and at least one of said latching arms has spring-elastic material properties in at least a portion of the at least one latching arm, whereby the electrical contact faces are in contact with one another under a defined press-on force.
