Module Connector with at Least One Slidable Screw and Connection Assembly with such a Module Connector - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014599 titled 'Module Connector with at Least One Slidable Screw and Connection Assembly with such a Module Connector
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a module connector used for electrically connecting two electric modules. The connector includes a busbar, at least one screw, and at least one screw guide. The busbar has a flat face that defines a busbar plane and a through opening that extends perpendicularly to the busbar plane. The screw is held in the through hole and can rotate and slide parallel to the busbar plane. The screw guide is also rotatable relative to the busbar and is held at least partially in the through opening. The screw guide has a hole parallel to the through opening in which the screw is held.

Original Abstract Submitted
a module connector for electrically connecting two electric modules comprises a busbar, at least one screw and at least one screw guide. the busbar includes at least one flat face defining a busbar plane, and a through opening extending perpendicularly to the busbar plane and through the busbar. the at least one screw is held in the through hole, rotatable relative to the busbar and slidable parallel to the busbar plane. the at least one screw guide is rotatable relative to the busbar and held at least sectionally in the through opening. the at least one screw guide includes a hole extending parallel to the through opening in which the at least one screw is held at least sectionally.
