Description
A CONNECTOR FOR AN ELECTRIC RANGE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The invention relates to a power connector for electrical heating elements of an electric range, and more particularly to an improved power connector that will remain positively connected duIing the heating cycles of the electric range.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
.
A problem frequently experienced with conncetive elements of electric stoves or ranges, is the compression or expansion of the e~ctrical contacts as the heating elements are subjected to an operative heating cycle. The connective elements between the power wires and heating coils of the range ofter experience thermal wear and deterioration due to the cyclic ~ating of the coils.
Very often, these contacts loosen with respect to the IS Coil and become inoperative in suppying them with power.
The present-invention features a ne~ conn~ tor design that posititively fastens and locks the terminal ends of the heating coil elements to the source of the power.
The connectors of the invention are shaped like a butterfly, and spread within the insulative housing as the terminal ends of the heating ccil element are inserted upon assembly between the leaves of the butterfly sectlon. The spreading butterfly leaves abut against internal wall abuts, thus causing a positive locking action to result with ~espect to the inserted terminal ends of the heating coil.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
The invention features a device for insulating and . ,. , .. ~, ...... .

ronnecting a pair of power wires and the terminal ends of an electric range heating element.
The device comprises a pair of spring-like contacts that each connect to one of the power hires. The contacts each have a butterfly section for receiv~ng the terminal end of a heating element. The butterfly sections each terminate on one end thereof in a pair of flared lips, and have on an opposite end a pair of outwardly projecting tines.
An insulative body has two channels that extend substan-tially parallel to each other. Each channel receives at one end the spring-like contacts and at an opposite end the terminal ends of the heating element. The channel has an undercut portlon for receiving the spring-like cOntact in locking engagement. The undercut portion terminates in forward abutments for limiting the forward movement of the contact by engaging with each of said flared li~s, and rearward abutments for limiting the rearward movement of the contact by engaging with each of said pro~ectins tines.
When the terminal ends of the heating element are inserted into the respective butterfly sections, they will be caused to spread causing the lips and tlnes to abut against their respective abutments, such that lateral movement of the terminal ends are prevented within the body.
A stand is also provlded for the insulative body.
The stand holds the body separated from the internal range platform. The stand has a pair of prongs that engage the terminal ends of the heating element. The stand is affixed to the insulative body by means of apertures in the sides of the insulative body.
It is an ob~ect of the invention to provide an improved means for attaching power wires to electric heating coils ; :

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Cenerally speaking, the lnventlon pertalns to a connective device that affixes power wires to the termlnal ends of an electric range heating coil. The device insulates the connection by surrounding the connection with an insulative body. The body acts to hold the connectlon in a positively biased state, so that the ocnnection will not loosen desplte I
~ Ol repeated heating cycles featuring alternating expansion and contraction conditions.
Now referring to Figure 1, the connection device 10, of this invention is shown in an unassembled view. The device 10 is comprised of an insulative porcelaln body 11, a pair of spring~ e oontacts 12, a metal stand 13, and a bracket 14 holding the terminal ends 15 of range heating element 16 (Figure 2).
For purposes of brevity and clarity, like elements o will have the same numerical designation throughout the figures. one of the objects of the device 10 is to connect the power wires 17 with the terminal ends 15 of the heating elements 16 in a positive, self-locking fashion.
The ':power wires 17 are each crimped to respective like contacts 12, by crimping tabs 18 and 19. Tab 18 affixes the insulation portion of wire 17 in a mechanical bond, while tab 19 affixes the internal copper wire electrically.
Tab 19 is soldered to provide positive electrical and mechanical contact.
Contacts 12 are shaped like a butterfly about 2 mid-sectlon 20. This mid-section 20 receives the hooks 16 of the terminal ends 15, as will be describied in more detail, hereinafter.
The contacts and the hook ends 16 are insulatively shielded by the porcelain body 11. The body 11 has two internal channels 21 into which are inserted (arrows 22) hooks 16. The contacts 12 are inserted into the channels 21 (arrows 23) from the rear of body 11. The frDnt of body 11 has a rectangular opening 24 into which the bracket 14 fits as the hook ends 16 are inserted. Oracket 14 has flanges 114 that engage with tabs 31 of extensions 29 to lock the bracket 14 in opening. The channels have chamfered surfaces 25 -to assist the introduction of the hooks 16 in channels 21.
The stand 13 has two side apertures 26 that snap fit over (arrows 3û) the abutments 27 that project from the .
sides 28 of body 11. The stand 1~ has tw~ for~d extensions 29 that receive the terminal ends 15. Two inwardly projecting tabs 3lare in biased contact with terminal ends 15.
The center section 32 of the stand 13 has a hole 33 that receives a pin 34 (r igure 3) for affixing the stand 13 to the range platform 35.
The front lip 36 is bent over and under pin 34, as shown in Figure 3. The rear leg 37 holds the stand 13 and body 11 separated from range platform 35. An over-all plan view of thls assembly is illustrated in Figure 2.
Referring to Flgures 1a and lb two alternate embodiments for hook ends 16 of Figure 1, are shown. Figure 1a illustrates hook ends 16a that feature closed loop ends. Figure 1b deplcts hook ends 16b that are solid tabs. Each of these hook ends 16, 16a and 16b can be used in the apparatus of Figure 1.
The contacts 12 are inserted through the rear section of body 11, as aforementioned, and snap fit intD channels 21, as more clearly illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.
The contacts 12 have flared l~ps 38 at the front of butterfly section 20, and rear legs 39 that extend straight back from mid-section 20. Two pro~ecting tines 40 extend from the rear of the contacts ~2. a bottom section 41 of contact 12 has a bent tab 42 that abuts against abutment 43 and prevents further forward movement of contact 12 , after contact 12 is inserted (arrow 23) in channel 21.
In the inserted posit~on, rearward movement of contact 12 is limitied by the rear legs 39 which abut against internal abutments 44.
1~71801 The contacts 1?, each have a rest, or normal positlon shown in solid line, and a spring biased position depicted in phantom lines in Figure 4.
In the lnserted positlon, the flared lips 38 receive the inserted hook ends 16. They are forced to the wider open position shown in the phantom drawing, by the squeezing of the rear tines 40 of contact12, when the contact is inserted into body 11. In this position they open sufficiently to receive the hook ends 16 which then can pass the butterfly mid-sectlon 20. Hook ends 16 force lip5 38 to further separate, which are then caused to abut against the forwar~ abutments 45, while the rear tines 40 are caused to abut against rear abutment 44.
The contact 12 is, thus, biased into locking contact within body 11. In this spring-biased state, the contact 12 causes a biased, reverse force to be exerted upon the hook end 16, thereby insuring that the terminal ends 15 will always be in positive mechanical and electrical contact with the power wires 17 despite expansion or contraction due to the heating cycle of the heating element 16.
In other words, the insertion of the hook end 16 past the butterfly mid-section 20 causes a spring tension in the contact 12, whereby the hook end 16 is caused to be held firmly by opposite and equal forces exerted upon it by the contact and the internal abutments within body 11.
Having thus described the invention, what is desired to be protected by Letters Patent is presented in the sùb-sequently appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Cenerally speaking, the lnventlon pertalns to a connective device that affixes power wires to the termlnal ends of an electric range heating coil. The device insulates the connection by surrounding the connection with an insulative body. The body acts to hold the connectlon in a positively biased state, so that the ocnnection will not loosen desplte I
~ Ol repeated heating cycles featuring alternating expansion and contraction conditions.
Now referring to Figure 1, the connection device 10, of this invention is shown in an unassembled view. The device 10 is comprised of an insulative porcelaln body 11, a pair of spring~ e oontacts 12, a metal stand 13, and a bracket 14 holding the terminal ends 15 of range heating element 16 (Figure 2).
For purposes of brevity and clarity, like elements o will have the same numerical designation throughout the figures. one of the objects of the device 10 is to connect the power wires 17 with the terminal ends 15 of the heating elements 16 in a positive, self-locking fashion.
The ':power wires 17 are each crimped to respective like contacts 12, by crimping tabs 18 and 19. Tab 18 affixes the insulation portion of wire 17 in a mechanical bond, while tab 19 affixes the internal copper wire electrically.
Tab 19 is soldered to provide positive electrical and mechanical contact.
Contacts 12 are shaped like a butterfly about 2 mid-sectlon 20. This mid-section 20 receives the hooks 16 of the terminal ends 15, as will be describied in more detail, hereinafter.
The contacts and the hook ends 16 are insulatively shielded by the porcelain body 11. The body 11 has two internal channels 21 into which are inserted (arrows 22) hooks 16. The contacts 12 are inserted into the channels 21 (arrows 23) from the rear of body 11. The frDnt of body 11 has a rectangular opening 24 into which the bracket 14 fits as the hook ends 16 are inserted. Oracket 14 has flanges 114 that engage with tabs 31 of extensions 29 to lock the bracket 14 in opening. The channels have chamfered surfaces 25 -to assist the introduction of the hooks 16 in channels 21.
The stand 13 has two side apertures 26 that snap fit over (arrows 3û) the abutments 27 that project from the .
sides 28 of body 11. The stand 1~ has tw~ for~d extensions 29 that receive the terminal ends 15. Two inwardly projecting tabs 3lare in biased contact with terminal ends 15.
The center section 32 of the stand 13 has a hole 33 that receives a pin 34 (r igure 3) for affixing the stand 13 to the range platform 35.
The front lip 36 is bent over and under pin 34, as shown in Figure 3. The rear leg 37 holds the stand 13 and body 11 separated from range platform 35. An over-all plan view of thls assembly is illustrated in Figure 2.
Referring to Flgures 1a and lb two alternate embodiments for hook ends 16 of Figure 1, are shown. Figure 1a illustrates hook ends 16a that feature closed loop ends. Figure 1b deplcts hook ends 16b that are solid tabs. Each of these hook ends 16, 16a and 16b can be used in the apparatus of Figure 1.
The contacts 12 are inserted through the rear section of body 11, as aforementioned, and snap fit intD channels 21, as more clearly illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.
The contacts 12 have flared l~ps 38 at the front of butterfly section 20, and rear legs 39 that extend straight back from mid-section 20. Two pro~ecting tines 40 extend from the rear of the contacts ~2. a bottom section 41 of contact 12 has a bent tab 42 that abuts against abutment 43 and prevents further forward movement of contact 12 , after contact 12 is inserted (arrow 23) in channel 21.
In the inserted posit~on, rearward movement of contact 12 is limitied by the rear legs 39 which abut against internal abutments 44.
1~71801 The contacts 1?, each have a rest, or normal positlon shown in solid line, and a spring biased position depicted in phantom lines in Figure 4.
In the lnserted positlon, the flared lips 38 receive the inserted hook ends 16. They are forced to the wider open position shown in the phantom drawing, by the squeezing of the rear tines 40 of contact12, when the contact is inserted into body 11. In this position they open sufficiently to receive the hook ends 16 which then can pass the butterfly mid-sectlon 20. Hook ends 16 force lip5 38 to further separate, which are then caused to abut against the forwar~ abutments 45, while the rear tines 40 are caused to abut against rear abutment 44.
The contact 12 is, thus, biased into locking contact within body 11. In this spring-biased state, the contact 12 causes a biased, reverse force to be exerted upon the hook end 16, thereby insuring that the terminal ends 15 will always be in positive mechanical and electrical contact with the power wires 17 despite expansion or contraction due to the heating cycle of the heating element 16.
In other words, the insertion of the hook end 16 past the butterfly mid-section 20 causes a spring tension in the contact 12, whereby the hook end 16 is caused to be held firmly by opposite and equal forces exerted upon it by the contact and the internal abutments within body 11.
Having thus described the invention, what is desired to be protected by Letters Patent is presented in the sùb-sequently appended claims.
