' Application filed June 9, 1927. Serial 110. 197,662, I
The of the body l is'bored and-a;
A particular object of this invention is 'toprovide a tapffor electrical wires, the tap having piercing elements which are fixed. 1 p
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will be fully set forth in the vfollowing specificae tion and accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1, is a top View of the tap. Fig 2, is a cross-sectional view of the iiiig 3, is a bottom view of the tap, Figure 4 is a section taken on line 4-4; Figure 2. p i
In the drawing the numeral 1, indicates the body of the tap, which is made of any composition bakelite'or thelike, the tap is molded with two channels'2 and 3 in the upper end, the body 1 has the projections 4,5,
and 6, the projections 4 and 6 areinclined. A-tip 7 of the same material is molded to fit over the body 1, having cooperating inclined sides 8 and 9 and a channel 5 to re ceive the projection 5,
so i r I 5 The bottom of the body 1 is provided with two slots 9 and 10. A projection 11, extends through the center forming the division wall.
threaded into the body 1. The inside of each bushing forming a screw socket byhaving one end or thebottom internally threaded, while the other end is formed solid and ,are threaded into the bushings 12 and 1,3, 7 these screws extend into the slots 9 and 10.
The bushings are set so thatthe points ex tend almost the entire height of channels 2 and 3.
to provide stem or rod 18 extends therethrough, the
stem is threaded or otherwise fixed into the tap 7 j The other end of the stem isfpro' vided with threaded fiat head 19, a spring 2O 1seated in the projection 11 of'the body 1 tends to force the fiat head away from the body 1 at the same time drawing the tip 7 towards the body 1.
I In operation, when a connectionis desired to the main line, the wires fromthe article" to be connected'are fastened on the screws -16and 17 and'gthe fiathead is pushed in, and each main wire isforced in the grooves 2 and 8 and the flat head let loose, the spring 20 the screws and the wires to'the article to besupplied with electricity.
forces the tip in and the points 14: and 15 I While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this inventiomit is to be understood that such changes maybe made in the combination and arrangelnent of parts as will fallwithin the spirit and scope of the invention as defined inthe appended claim. 1
hat I claim is: 1 In a device ofthe class described, a body, channels at one end of the body for receiving main wires, slots at another part of the body for receiving connecting wires which are to beiin' electrical connection with the main wires, sharp pointed bushings fixed Through the body 1 two bushings 12 and 13 are fixed either by being molded in or' in. the body for piercing the insulation of the main wires and forming metallic con-v I tact with the main wires and screws threaded within the bushings for forming electrical contact with the connectmg Wll'GS, and
