Patent ID: 7217163

Claim:
A contact connection adapter for producing an intermittent electrical contact between a first plug ( 2 ), particularly a standard terminal plug of a cardiac pacemaker electrode ( 3 ), and at least one further plug ( 4 , 5 ), particularly a typical laboratory plug of a laboratory cable for intermittent connection of the electrode ( 3 ) to a stimulus threshold analyzer, comprising a main body ( 6 ), a first socket-like receptacle ( 7 ), which is placed in the main body ( 6 ), for the first plug ( 2 ), and at least one second socket-like receptacle ( 18 , 19 ), which is placed in the main body ( 6 ), for the at least one further plug ( 4 , 5 ), the cross-sections of the first and the at least one second receptacles ( 7 , 18 , 19 ) intersecting peripherally in such a way that plugs ( 2 , 4 , 5 ) plugged into the receptacles ( 7 , 18 , 19 ) press against one another at their lateral contact faces ( 14 , 15 , 27 ) and produce an electrical contact.
