(01. 173-361) The invention here disclosed relates to electrlis composed Separated by the barrier H, and atcal attachment plugs. tached to the inner ends of blades extending Special objects of the invention are to provide through the front end passages 8. a plug of simple inexpensive construction, which The contact blades M, are shown as having .5 can be readily assembled into permanent form sharply angled base portions i 5, seating snugly b and which will be wholly practical and desirin the external seats 9, longitudinal portions 16, able. extended from said sharply angled base portions,

To assemble the parts, it is necessary that In structure, the stretchable rubber-like body the plug material be resilient, at least temporariis formed, in the case illustrated, with an inter- 1y so, so that the blades, after the wires are atnal cavity or chamber 6, a cord passage 1, opentached on the outside, can be pulled through as ing through the back of the plug and relatively the blade passages to the fully interlocked posia5 spaced narrow passages 8, opening through the tion shown in Fig. 3.

The transversely extending U-bends in the base portions of the blades form clamps which hold the blades in the end wall, resisting movement of the blades in all directions.
What is claimed is:
1. An attachment plug, comprising a one-piece molded resilient plug body having an internal chamber with a cord passage opening thereinto at the back of the body and having separated depressed seats molded in the front of the body,
said plug body having narrow spaced passages at the inner ends of said seats and extending from said seats, substantially parallel, to said chamber within the plug body and abrupt shoulders at the inner end of said chamber extending outwardly away from the inner ends of said passages and contact blades of substantially the' same 'tions engaging said outwardly extending abrupt shoulders at the inner ends of said passages, said wire terminal portions extending in sharply angled relation from the outer ends of said outwardly extending angled portions of said U- bends,

An attachment plug, comprising a one-piece molded resilient plug body having an internal chamber with a cord passage opening thereinto at the back of the body and having separated depressed seats molded in the front of the body, said plug body having narrow spaced passages at the inner ends of said seats and extending from said seats, substantially parallel, to said chamber within the plug' body and abrupt shoulders at the inner end of said chamber extending outward away from the inner ends of said passages and contact blades of substantially the same width full length, said blades having exposed contacting portions and wire terminal portions at opposite ends of the same and sharply angled inwardly extending U-bends in the intermediate portions of the same and of the full width of said blades, said U-bends includingsharply angled portions at the bases of the exposed contacting portions engaged in said depressed seats in the front of the base, longitudinally extending connecting portions extending through said-passages and sharply angled outwardly extending portions engaging said outwardly extending abrupt shoulders at the inner ends of said passages, said wire terminal portions extending in sharply angled relation from the outer ends of said outwardly extending angled portions of said U-bends and the exposed contacting portions of said blades comprising doubled back spring end portions with smoothly rounded bends forming the ends of the blades and inclined spring tongues, facilitating entry and passage of said contacting ends through said passages in said yielding molded plug body.
