WITNESSES: INVENTOR I v A TORNEY Pal/l g1. fienyafenbery I intense U -IE ING-HOUSE ELECTRIC &
sYLvAivIA.
I/ "0 all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, PAUL M. HnNesTnN- BERG, a citizen of Germany, and a resident of lVilkinsburg, in'the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Connectors, of which the following is a specification. V I
My invention relates to connectors a nd particularly to connecting devicesfor 101D- ing electrical conductors.
One object of my invention is to provide a device of the above indicated character that shall be simple and durable in conf struction, economicalto manufacture, easy to manipulate and effective in operation.
Another object of my invention is to provide aconnector that shall permit different numbers of conductors to be variously connected.
Another object ofmv invention is to pro-' n vide a connector that shall have means io1 securely wedging a conductor thereagainst and resilient means for moving the wedging means.
A further object of myinvention is toprovide a connector that shall be providedwith longitudinal grooves and have readilyremovable means for securely 'wedgmg a conductor or conductors 1n the grooves.
' In practising my invention, 1 provide a end elevationalview thereof; Fig. 3. is a transverse sectional view of the device shown in Fig. 1, and Figs. 1 and 5 are side-elevational views of the device shown inFigs. 1, 2 and 3, showing other arrangements of conductors connected thereto.
A member 1, which is preferably of hol-v low, cylindrical form but which .may be solid and of other cross sectional form and constructed from brass, copper or other suitable material, is providedwith long-i- MANUFACTURING COMPANY,- A CORPORATION OF PENN- comvEc'ronQ Specification of Letters Patent. Patented A1313 12 1921.. Application clear/tarot 11, 1919. Serial 1%. 281,957.
tudinal grooves 2 that extend between and slope to pomtson the surfaceof, and removed from, the ends of the member 1.
Rings 3, preferably of rectangular crosssection, slidably embrace the member 1 and are forced apart, by a helical spring 4:, to ward lugs or stop members 5 at the ends of the member 1.
When the rings 3 are pressed toward each sloping endsof the grooves 2. -The device is extremely simple and durable in construction and economical to manufacture and facilitates the making of various forms and groupings of effective connections.
\Vhile I have shown and described a particular form of my invention, changes may be efi ected therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, as set forth in the" appended claims.
I claim as my invention-z l. A connector comprising an elongated member having lateral projections at the ends thereof and a longitudinal channel extending between positions removed from the ends of the member, longitudinally-movable members embracing said member, and a compression spring extending between said movable members for moving the same oppositely toward the ends of said elongated member and for forcing conductors against said elongated member at the ends of said channel, said projections limiting the movement of said movable members when the conductors are disconnected from said elongated member. I
2. A connector comprising a cylindrical member havinga plurality of longitudinal conductor-receiving grooves extending between points removed from theends thereof, longitudinally-slidable rings embracing said member,-- a helical spring embracing said member between said rings to secure the conductors in'position, and means for limiting the movement of said rings.
3. A connector comprising a tubular mem ber havinga longitudinal conductor-receiving groove extending between points removed from the ends thereof, longitudinally-slidable members mounted on said nally-slidable members mounted on said member, a helical spring embracing said tubular member between said slidable mem bers and means for limiting the movement of said slidable members.
'5. A connector comprising an elongated,
member having a longitudinal conductor-re ceiving groove extending between points removed from the ends thereof, longitudinally-slidable members embracing said member and resilient means for pressing the slidable members toward the ends of the grooved member. 7
6. A connector comprising an elongated member having a longitudinal conductor-receiving'groove extending to a position removed from one end thereof, a longitudinally-slidable member embracing said member and resilient means for pressing the slidable member toward the said end of the grooved member.
7. A connector comprising a member having an elongated conductor-receiving channel therein, said channel having a portion sloping to the surface of said member, and a member movable along said surface in the direction of said channel to secure the conductor in position at the sloping portion of member having a longitudinal conductorreceiving groove extending to a position removed from one end thereof, a longitudinally-slidable member mounted on said member and resilient means for moving the slidable member toward the said end of the grooved member.
In testimony whereof, 'I have hereunto subscribed my name this 28th day of Feb. 1919.
