Claim:
A draw spring clamp with two draw springs positioned within a housing in mirror-image configuration, each of which possesses an attachment leg resting on a current bus and a spring leg with a clamp window that is of one piece with it and that is bent together with the attachment leg into a loop, through which clamp window an end of the attachment leg and the current bus extend, whereby the two spring legs are positioned in mirror-image configuration and the spring legs may be tensioned by means of an actuation element that is positioned within a housing of the draw spring clamp, into which a tool blade may be inserted for the purpose of providing spring tension along the direction toward the attachment leg when the clamp window is opened, whereby the actuation element is located between the two mirror-image spring legs of the draw springs and rests evenly on both spring legs in the tensioned position, and possesses rest surfaces for the spring legs of both draw springs correspondingly on opposite exterior sides, of both draw springs correspondingly on opposite exterior sides, characterized in that the actuation element is formed as an elastic or partially-elastic spreading body that may be stretched toward and against both the two spring legs of the two draw spring by insertion of the tool blade using its exterior sides.
