1. A connection facility for conductive wires, the connection facility including at least one electrically conductive rigid link strip (3) and at least one wire-connection part (2);

  • said wire-connection part formed by a spring blade having a first end (20) and a second end (23);

    said first end having a perforation (21) therein for receiving a wire to be connected between a wire-abutment edge (22) of the perforation and said second end;

    said second end of the spring blade being looped back on itself so that when no wire is received in said perforation the second end is resiliently pressed against the wire-abutment edge and penetrates said perforation;

    said electrically conductive rigid link strip including at least one link element (30) that is planar and edged by at least one support element (31) having a distal end;

    whereinsaid at least one support element is engaged with said wire-connection part by initially inserting said at least one support element through said perforation of said first end of said wire-connection part and during subsequent further insertion said distal end of said at least one support element is slid past said wire-connection part so as to press against a loop formed by said second end of said wire-connection part looped back on itself to provide support for said wire-connection part.
