WIRE CONN ECTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 24, 1922.
Application filed February 12, 1921. Serial No. 444,435.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN S. CURRIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Peninsula, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVire Connecters, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to wire connecters and has principally for its object the provision of a device which may be connected to the meeting ends of wire and secured to the latter in a facile and expeditious manner to prevent disengagement of said ends.
Another object of the invention is to provide a conneoter of very simple construction which may be applied to the wire without the use of any tool other than a pair of pliers.
The above and other objects of this invention will be in part described and in part understood from the following description of the present preferred embodiment of the invention taken in connection with the ac companying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1, is an elevational view of a connecter constructed in accordance with this invention illustrating its application.
Fig. 2, is a perspective view of the connecter illustrating its application and showing the connector before it has been clamped into engagement with the wire,
Fig. 3, is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow, and
Fig. 4:, is a plan view of the connecter showing the same in blank.
In the drawings, in order to illustrate the application of this invention wire strands 5 are shown which may be of the usual or any desired construction.
The connector per se consists of a blank 6 preferably made of metal and preferably of an oblong configuration. One of the lateral margins of the blank has a series of recesses 7, 8 and 9 formed therein, the recesses being arranged adjacent the opposite termlnals of the blank, and the recesses 8 and 9 arranged between the recesses 7. Upon reference to Fig. 4 of the drawings, it will be noted that all of the recesses are angular in form and. that the bases thereof fall short of the longitudinal center of the blank.
In use of this device the meeting ends of the wire strands 5 are preferably looped and engaged with the teeth 10 formed between the recesses 7 and 8 and between the recases 7 and 9. Intermediate portions of the wire pass behind terminal teeth 11, thereby preventing lateral displacement of the wires from the connecter. After the wires have been engaged in this manner the free marginal edge of the blank is bent clownwardly so as to encase the upper ends of said teeth as well as portions of the wire as shown to advantage in Fig. 1. Conse quently, vertical displacement of the wire is prevented. By angularly disposing the recesses 7, 8 and 9, it will be seen that the teeth 10 are canted, consequently, stress upon the wires will pull downwardly and exert its force inwardly toward the body of the blank so as to be taken up thereby. When it is desired to disengage the wire ends, the free marginal edge is flexed upwardly in an obvious manner.
Changes may he made in this device es pecially in the shape of the blank and the arrangement of the recesses. However, it has been found that by arranging the recesses in a manner shown in the drawings, a positive grip on the wire is obtained which will prevent especially vertical and lateral displacement. The device is adapt-able both for connecting the meeting ends of the wire directly as well as for splicing a piece of wire to a pair of wire ends.
hat is claimed is:
1. A wire connecter including a sheet of metal, one of the marginal edges of which is formed to provide teeth for engagement with the meeting ends of the wire.
2. A wire connecter including a metal sheet, one of the marginal edges of which is formed to provide teeth engageable with the wire, said. teeth being canted to transmit the stress exerted thereon to the body of the sheet, the opposite marginal edge of said sheet being enga-geable over said teeth to prevent causual displacement of the wire.
In testimony whereof I my signature in presence of'two witnesses.
EDIVIN S. CUR-RIER. lVitnesses:
MARY J. BILLINGS, D. H. BILLINGs.
