ABSTRACT:
A electric contact with elastic return comprising a contact head (2) that is fixed to the end (1') of an electric cable (1) or similar and is acted upon by the end of an elastic strip (3), the other end of which called the attachment end being fixed in the housing (6) of a device to be equipped. The contact according to the invention is remarkable particularly in that an area (1") of the cable (1) called the anchorage area, is fixed to the said device housing (6) close to the strip attachment end, and in that the cable (1) is in the shape of a hook (1'") between its anchorage area (1") and its end (1') fitted with the contact head (2), delimiting a free space in its concave curved part, whereas the contact head (2) has a contact surface (2c) placed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the cable end (1') and is free to move elastically approximately coaxial with the said axis, the strip (3) being formed in the said free space also being acted upon by a spring (11) fixed to the device housing (6).
