ELECTRIFIED RAIL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

The invention relates to an electrified rail and a method for manufacturing the same. The electrified rail, particularly for the electrification of metal shelving units provided on their front of electronic labels, displays and/or other peripherals, the rail being of the kind comprising a body (1, 100) of electrically insulating plastic material, provided with longitudinal slots (3) suitably distanced to each other, in every one of which a wire or strand (4) of electrically conducting metal which is surrounded for more than 180 degrees of its cross section by the internal walls of the respective slot (3), to be friction-held in it, so that for the remaining section the same wire (4) is free and can be reached by an electric contact useful to connect the wire to a plug or to an electric or electronic device, fixed to said body (1, 100) of the rail.
