Abstract

PURPOSE:To prolong the lifetime of a return spring by forming it so as to fit a wall cavity made thin, a core print to be attached later (plastic covered wiring), etc. CONSTITUTION:An unlocking piece 11 and a lock spring 12 are installed on a lower piece 8 of a terminal plate 4, and an unlock button 13 and a return spring 14 of metal are arranged beside the lock spring 12. When a conductor 10 of an electric wire 9 is inserted, the conductor 10 proceeds while energizing one end of the lock spring 12 and is pushed resiliently thereby to come in contact with the terminal plate 4. To unlock, the unlock button 13 is pushed to put it in turning counterclockwise. With this turning of the button 13, its tip drives a piece 11a on the unlocking piece 11, which therefore slides to the right, in the attached illustration, against the action of the return spring 14. With this sliding o3 unlocking piece 11, the lefthand portion of the lock spring 12 drops by its own spring force to sink the resiliently contacting force with the conductor 10, and contacting with an upper piece 7 is disengaged.
