This invention relates to improvements in electrical connectors and more particularly to particularly useful in Wiring radio apparatus and will be greatly appreciated by experimenters and otherpersons having occasion to make temporary electrical connections. The prime object of this invention is to provide a binding post which will eiiect a firm grip on the conductorengaged therewith without requiring any diflicult manipulation of the binding post preparatory to the insertion of the conductor.
Another impbrtant object is to provide a binding post to which a conductor may be attached by the use of only one hand of the workman.-
Still another object is to provide a binding post capable of being quickly secured to a supporting body.
Other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawing wherein like numerals indicate like parts 2- Figure 1 represents a perspective viewof the novel binding post.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of the binding post in partial section showing the same equipped with a wood screw.
Figure 3 is an end elevation of a slightly modified form of the post. Figure 4 is a side elevation of the modified form of the invention.
Referring to the, drawings, the novel binding post consists in construction of an elongated piece of spring metal, this piece of metal is bent to provide a base portion 1.
formed with an opening 2 within which a screw 3 may be suitably secured. The re-.
maining portions of the metallic piece. are disposed upwardly in converged relation. The end portions of the metal piece are disposed upwardly in perpendicular respect to the base 1 and against each other in the man-' ner clearly shown in Figure 1. These end portions which are designated by numerals 3-3 are secured at their longitudinal edges by welding, brazing, or clinching, or in fact, by any method found practicable.
The metallic material is to be suficient-ly springy to firmly grip a conductor wire such as is designated by numeral 4 when disposed between the end portion 3 3.
- A slightly modified form of the invention is disclosed in Figures 3 and 4, respectively, wherein a single plate of spring metal is formed to provide a base 5. This base is formed with an openin through which a screw 6 may be disposed or securing the base to a suitable support; The remaining portions of the plate are disposed upwardly in converged relation to provide the sides 77.
The end portions of the plate extend for a substantial distance down the side walls 7-7 are formed with an opening & to provide upstanding legs 9-9 at each erid of the plate.
The end portions of the le s are disposed in contacting relation, .and it is preferable that the legs at one end of the plate besub stantially longer than the legs of the opposite end of the plate so that they may be bent over the shorter legs and crimped together for obviously securing the end portions of the legsin the contacting'relation shown in Figure 3.
By inserting a conductor wire between the walls 7-7, and urging the same upwardly between the legs 99 at each end of the plate,
the conductor maybeheld firmly in connection with the binding post.
Obviously the material may not necessarily. be metal, and the structure may be of slightly difierent form without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope ofthe. appended claim. I
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is:
A binding post comprising, a base, in-
wardlyconverged flanges on said base, the upper portions of the flanges being disposed in substantially parallel relation so as 'to frictionally retam a conductor disposed therebetween,1said flanges being secured together at their longitudinal edges.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
