Method of connecting a conductor wire to a hook-shaped element
First Claim
1. A method of electrically and mechanically connecting an electrical conductor wire comprising an electrically conductive core and a sheath of insulating material to a hook-shaped electrically conductive body, said method comprising:
- introducing the wire into the hook-shaped body while the hook is open;
ablating the insulating material of the wire in the open hook with a radiation beam;
aiming a gas stream at the wire in the open hook during the ablating to effectively remove the ablated insulating material; and
after ablation, clamping the core in the hook-shaped body by cold deformation of the body.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of electrically and mechanically connected to a hook-shaped element of an electrically conductive supporting body. The conductor wire, which comprises an electrically conductive core and a sheath of an insulating material, is introduced into the open hook-shaped element after which a radiation beam is aimed at the conductor wire, for example, to ablate the insulating sheath by heating. After this the conductive core of the conductor wire is clamped in the hook-shaped element by cold deformation of the hook-shaped element.
