For every r-th order Weil functor TA, we introduce the underlying k-th order Weil functors We deduce that is an affine bundle for every manifold M. Generalizing the classical concept of contact element by C. Ehresmann, we define the bundle of contact elements of type A on M and we describe some affine properties of this bundle.
