Fig. 3 depicts a side view of the plug 100. Plug 100 includes an opening 300 and a cavity 302, cavity 302 having a first portion 304, a second portion 306, and a third portion 308, first portion 304 having a first height, second portion 306 having a second height, and third portion 308 having a third height. The height of the first portion 302 is substantially the same along the length of the first portion 302. The height of the second portion 306 slopes along the length of the second portion 306 from the height of the first portion 304 to the height of the third portion 308. The opening 300 and the cavity 302 are sized to receive the load bar 110 such that the load bar 110 passes through the opening 300 into the first portion 304 of the cavity 302. Upper and lower guides 310 and 312 are positioned on the upper and lower surfaces of the cavity 302 in the second and third portions 306 and 308. The guides 310 and 312 are formed to form channels that receive respective ones of the wires such that when the wires are inserted into the plug 100, the wires are positioned below the respective pins 106.
The opening 300 and the first portion 304 of the cavity 302 are sized to receive the load bar 110 such that the front face of the load bar 110 engages the end of the guide 310 in the second portion 306 of the cavity 302. The openings 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214, and 216 in the load bar 110 are positioned such that a wire inserted into each opening 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214, and 216 is guided into the particular channel created by the guides 310 and 312. The upper guide 310 is at an angle theta to the horizontal and the lower guide is at an angle lambda to the horizontal. The guides 310 and 312 serve to guide each of the wires from the exit of the openings 202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212, 214, and 216 into the respective slots without contacting adjacent wires.
Fig. 4 depicts an exploded view of the plug assembly, wherein the wires are inserted into the plug. Each wire is bent at an angle such that the spacing of each wire in the load bar is greater than the vertical spacing of the wires through openings 202, 204, 206 and 208, and the vertical spacing of the wires through openings 210, 212, 214 and 216 is greater when exiting from load bar 110 than when entering the slots in the plug.
In this disclosure, the words "a" or "an" should be taken to include both the singular and the plural. Rather, any reference to plural items shall, where appropriate, include the singular.
It should be understood that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments disclosed herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure and without diminishing its intended advantages. It is therefore intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.
