9 Claims.
This invention relates generally to Wireconnectors of the type employed to mechanicallyr attach telephone and other drop or service wires to houses. buildings, and other structures, and more specically to a Wire connector of the general type of the .wire connector covered by United States Letters Patent No. 2,110,407, issued' on March 8, 1938, the predominant object of the present invention being to provide a wire connector of the type that holds a drop or service wire in accordance with the snubbing principle, instead of through the use of clamping pressure applied to the insulation of the wire, and which is of such improved construction and arrangement that the operation of applying a wire thereto is simplied.
Wire connectors of the type covered by the United States LettersPatent referred to above have been widely distributed, and in use have performed their intended function in a highly efcient manner. However, in order to simplify, to some degree, the operation of applying a wire to a Wire connector of the general type of the patented wire connector, the wire connector of f the present invention was developed. The main points of difference between the Wire connector of the present invention and the patented wire connector is that the spirally arranged snubbing portion of the device of the present invention is extended at an angle tothe direction of eX- tension of the wire being connected,` instead of in alinement with such direction of extension of said wire as in the case of the patented wire connector. It has been found that when the spiral snubbing portion of wire connector is extended at an angle to the direction of extension of a wire being connected with the aid of the device, the operation of applying the wire to the snubbing portion of the Wire connector is simplified. Also because of the changed arrangement of the snubbing portion of the device of the present invention, when compared with the structure of the patented wire connector, a different bail structure is employed which, because of its improved construction and arrangement, serves to aid in simplifying. the operation of applying a wire to the Wire connector disclosedl herein.
Fig. 1 is a perspective of the improved wire connector disclosed herein, showing same as it i appears when a wire is connected thereto.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation `of the wire connector illustrated in Fig. 1, the wire associated therewith being shown in cross-section.
Fig. 3 is a perspective looking upwardly to- Ward the under side of the improved wire connector shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a portion of the bail being broken away.
Fig. 4 is a perspective similar to Fig. 3 but showing the complete bail in the displaced position it is caused to assume When a wire is being applied to the wire connector.
In the drawing, wherein is shown for the purpose of illustration, merely, one embodiment of the invention, A designates the improved Wire connector generally. 'Ihe wire connector A includes a Wire-receiving portion I which is formed from a Vstrip or length of metal, or other suitable material, of channel shaped cross-section. The Wire-receiving portion I includes a straight portion 2 having an outwardly curved outer end portion 3 which eliminates likelihood that the insulation of a wire received by the portion 2 of the wire-receiving portion l of the device would be cut by the forward edge of said portion 2. The portion of the length of material from which the wire-receiving portion of the device A is formed, that extends from the portion 2, is bent in spiral formation to provide the wire-receiving portion I with a spiral snubbing portion 4, and it is important'to note that the axis of this spiral snubbing portion is extended at an approximate right angle relative to the direction of extension of the portion 2 of the wirereceiving portion I and with respect to a wire received thereby. The length of material which provides the wire-receiving portion I of the device A is shaped to provide an outstanding arcuate ange 5 through which a pair of apertures 6 are formed, said ilange being producedv by parallel, outwardly extended, and contacting portions of the length of material which produces the wirereceiving portion of the device. At the end of the spiral snubbing portion 4 of the wire-receiving portion I of the wire connector A an integral tongue 1 is provided which, as shown in Fig. 2, is curved so that it partially embraces a Wire associated with'the wire connector.
The improved Wire connector A includes also a bail 8 which is preferably made from a single length of wire bent double to provide a closed loop at one end.- This closed loop of the bail is embraced and frictionally engaged by spiral wire element 9, resemblinga coil spring, which serves as a Wear member. Leg portions of the bail extend forwardly from the closed loop portion thereof and these leg portions are arranged in crossed over and under relation at a point immediately above the point where the straight portion 2 of the wire-receiving portion of the derearwardly extended portions Ila. and Ilb of' the legs of the bail 8 are extended through the apertures 6 formed through the arcuate ilange- 5, and the portion Ilb is provided with a laterally bent end portion l2 (Fig. 3) which prevents unintended displacement of said portion from the aperture 6 through which it is extended.
When the improved wire connector A is to be applied to a wire W for the purpose of connecting the Wire to a support, the rearwardly extended portion lla of a leg of the bail 8 is freed from the aperture 6 ofthe-arcuate flange 5 through which it is extended, by moving the bail forwardly relative to the Wire-receiving portion of the device and by manipulating the leg of the bail of which said portion lla forms a part so as to effect release of said portion Ila from its aperture. The bail is then turned over to one side of the wire-receiving portion of the device, the rearwardly extended portion llb of the bail, which is prevented from being displaced from its aperture l` in the arcuate flange 5 by the bent end l2 thereof; serving as a pivot point about which the bail is turned, as shown-in Fig. 4 and by dotted lines in Fig, 2. The wire W is then drawn to the. desired degree of tautness and a portion of the wire is laid in the straight portion 2 of the wire-receiving portion-of the-'devce, and the portion of the wire located rearwardly of said wire portion which is disposed in the straight portion 2' of the wire-receiving L portion l is wound spirally through the spiral snubbing portion 4 of the device, aV portion of the wire being introduced behind the curved tongue 1 so as to be partially-embraced thereby. The bail 81 is thenturned back to its' normal position and the rearwardly extended leg por-Y tion lla is re-introduced into its aperture in the arcuate flange 5. The closed loop at the rear end of the bail is then applied a hook H, or other element, securedto the support Sto which the wire is to be attached. The crossed portions of the legs of the bail 8, being positioned immediately above the portion of the wire W that passes from the portion 2 of the wire-receiving portion l to the snu'bbingv portion 4.
thereof, retains the wire in the channel of said wire-receiving portion. Also the tongue 1, because it partiallyA embraces the Wire as shown in Fig. 2, serves to aid in retaining the wire in the channel of the wire-receiving. portion l of the Wire connector.
It is obvious that al wire attached to av sup-- port with the aid ofthe improved wire connector disclosed hereinis-verysecurely engaged by the wire connector byl a; snubbing actiongvvhich.y
does not affect the insulationxof theA wireinjuriously. Also it is obviousl that whip and vibration of the wire is taken up by the looseconnection between the wire connector Aand the hook H, and, therefore,` there isno: centering o.,P Wear due to such whip and vibration of the wire at the tie-in` point of the Wire. As a result of this situation, the life of the wire is greatly prolonged inasmuch as the-wire is notheldbyrthef connector to the tensile strengh of the insu-- lation, but to the breaking strength of the wire.
