Abstract

A component pack including a carrier strip extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of technical components formed initially separately from the carrier strip and each fastened on the carrier strip. The technical components project from the carrier strip laterally in a transverse direction of the carrier strip.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A component pack, comprising:
a carrier strip extending in a longitudinal direction; and
a plurality of technical components formed initially separately from the carrier strip, each of the plurality of technical components is an electrical contact device that is a single piece of conductive material and has an integrally formed fastening device extending beyond a front free edge or a rear free edge of the electrical contact device, the fastening device fastens each of the technical components on the carrier strip, the technical components project from the carrier strip laterally in a transverse direction of the carrier strip.

2. The component pack of claim 1 , wherein the technical components are each fastened on the carrier strip in all translational directions and all rotational directions.

3. The component pack of claim 1 , wherein the technical components are each assemblies, prefabricated parts, or blanks.

4. The component pack of claim 1 , wherein the component pack is rolled up spirally into a bundle.

5. The component pack of claim 1 , wherein:
the technical components are fastened on the carrier strip in an interlocking, frictional and/or bonded fashion; and/or
the technical components are fastened on the carrier strip by being welded, soldered, adhesively bonded, joined, riveted, peened over, press-fitted, crimped, clipped, snap-fitted and/or screwed.

6. The component pack of claim 1 , wherein the carrier strip is formed from a metal, a plastic, a composite material, a textile, or a cardboard.

7. The component pack of claim 1 , wherein, in a plan view of the longitudinal direction of the carrier strip, the technical components do not cover or align with most or a substantial part of the carrier strip.

8. The component pack of claim 1 , wherein the technical components are not suited mainly, essentially or exclusively for artistic, craft, handicraft, decorative, identification, user-oriented, consumption-oriented, food-oriented, or pleasure-oriented purposes and are therefore not designed for essentially non-technical purposes.
