2 Claims. ('01. 29-155.55)
This invention relates to improvements in solderless connectors. More particularly, the invention relates to improvements in methods of forming solderless connectors.
It is an object of the present invention to prothe cost of manufacture is, therefore, objection able.
The invention obviates ,these objections by providing anew method of forming connectors that can be used to make connectors of many different sizes. The method consists in drawing a true cylindrical formation with around top for the cable and screw plug receiving portion Although these connectorsare serviceable, they are not as satisfactory as they might be because of the relatively high cost of manufacturing them. The casting and machining' operations used in making these connectors are quite expensive, andmateriallyincrease the cost of manufacture. The invention avoids these expensive operations by providing an improved method of forming solderless connectors ,that consists in drawing the connectors out of a flat bar of ductile metal.
. It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide a .method of .forming solderless connectors that consistsin drawing: the connectors out of a flat bar of ductile metal.
Some connectors have beenformed by drawing them out of ductile metal, but the methods used are different from the improved method. of the invention. Former methods consisted in striking a cylindrical piece of stock to form a cablereceiving portion or drawing a thin metal sheet to form a cable-receiving portion. The method of forming a connector by striking a cylindrical .piece of stock is fairly satisfactory when the connector is small, but is not satisfactory when the connectorisdarge. In such a case, the mass of the cylindrical piece of stock is solarge; that it cannot be formed readily.' The method of forminga solderless connector by drawing it from a thin metal sheet is also fairly satisfactory-when the-connector is small. When the connector large the metal sheet must be made thicker, and this thick sheet metal cannot be drawn readily. This. is especially true where the-metal'must'be drawn into-a relatively long tube to form the connector.
In such a case, the metal must be from one end of a flat bar of ductile metal. By
forming the connector at oneend of a bar of ductile metal, a connector provided with a tang may be formed by a single stroke of the punch press. This is advantageous since it reduces the number of operations necessary in making a solderlessconnector. It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of making connectors with a cable and screw plug receiving portion by a single operation of the punch press.
Various forms .of solderless connectors are used today, and some of these are quite serviceable. Many of the connectors now in use are not as "serviceable as they might be, because of the number of separate elements iii them. Where a connector consists of a number of elements, the electrical conductivity of the connector is not as good as it would be if the connector was an in tegrated unit. Wherever two separate elements engage each other, a contact surface is formed which increases the resistance of the connector.
- This additional resistance makes this type of connector objectionable because the increased 'raistance produces more heat.
obviates this objection by providing a method of forming an integrated solderless, connector. It
is, therefore, an object of the'pr'esent invention to provide a method of forming an integrated connector.
Other obiects'an'd advantages of the invention will appear from the drawings andaccompanying description. r
In the drawings and'accompanying description,
I the various steps in the formation of a fixed and a removable type of,solderless connector are shown and described, but itis to be understood'tha-t the drawings and the accompanying description do not limit the invention and the invention will be I defined by the appended claims.
In the drawings, Fig. l is a plan view of a flat rectangular bar .of ductile metal fromwhich solderl'ess connectors are formed by the method provided by theinvention.

Fig. 8 is a plan view of the blank from which the formation shown in Fig." 9 is drawn. v
Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the cable and screw plug receiving formation of the connector al 20. This rectangular bar must be of a ductile metal that is a good conductor of electricity.
Such a metal is copper, but any suitable metal may beused. The rectangular bar is operated on to make the two forms of solderless connectors shown in the drawings. For the purposes of illustration, the drawings show a number of-indivual operations in sequence, although in practice, a
. eaten-is the ears 2| is a spreading of the metal which, in effect, increases the width of the 'bar at two points so that a narrow bar may be used. The

The drawmg of the bar into a true cylindrical formation is done by a drawing punch which draws the bar into a die to form the cylinder and continues further to punch out the hole 26 in the same operation. This operation is essentially a drawnumber of operations may be performed on the piece of stock at the same time. This may be done in a progressive die that is used in a punch.
press. In addition, it should be understood that -the operations themselves, andriot the order or sequence of the operations, are the important part of this invention. In making the removable ing operation, since the punch moves into the die anddraws the metal along with it, thereby forming the cylindrical shaped cable and screw plug receiving portion. In the drawing operation, the bar 20 is drawn into the die; until it is folded back onto itself. The vertical lines in the side of the cable and screw plug receiving portion of the connector, are the abutting edges of the rectangular bar 20.-
When the metal has been drawn into the shape indicated in Fig. 3,it is in contact with the die and .cannot be drawn further.
the metal. The die into which the bar 20 is forced, has an opening 25 to receive the punch i1 and permits it to pass through themetal and form opening 28. It shouldbe noted that the inside of the cylindrical formation is formed by the sameipunch that cuts the hole 28. This makes the diameter of the opening substantially the same as the inside diameter of the cylindrical type ofconnector that may be removably secured to a bus bar, the rectangular bar shown in Fig. 1 is formed in some cases in the shape shown in Fig. 2. This type of. solderless connector may be removably secured to abus ba-r, switch terminal, meter ring, or any other device to which wires or cables are to'be secured. In the interest of convenience, these various devices will be represented by the phrase "bus bar, and the various devices mentioned .above will be meant whenever the phrase "bus bar appears in the description and claims. One end of the bar 201s made in the form of a curve as-indicated by the numeral 22, ,and an opening 24 is punched in the other end of bar 20. This first operation may be done by any suitable. means, but can: be done very readily and economically by a punch press. The hole 2| is used to secure the removable connector to a bus bar, and, may receive a bolt or similar fastening means. The bar 20 is then placed in a draw- I ing died! shown in Fig 2A-and drawn into the shape shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 2A shows the relation of the parts just before the opening 28; is punched. The blank 20 has been drawn from the depression]! in the top of base It, into thecylindrical cavity, M of the die l9, by upward movement of cylindrical punch I'I, forming the cylindrical portion l6. Continued movement of the punch will cut out the disk 26' ,as the endof the punch passes into opening 25 of the die, to
form opening 22 in theupper end of cylinder I. Where desired,.,ears 2| may be punched from the edges of the rectangular bar. The forming of formation. Punches are then used on the cable and screw plug receiving portion of the connector to form openings 28 therein. Thehole 26 in the i cable and screw plug receiving portion is then threaded to receive the screw plug 32. The screw the internal diameter of the cylindrical formation, the threaded portion extends, as is shown in Figs. 5 and 11, a substantial distance down the internal walls of the cylindrical formation. This A screw plug 32 has a rounded end with concentric grooves 34 on its face, that engage the cable or wire inserted in the connector and secures the cable. f
The form of solderless connector shown in- Fig. 10 of the drawings is also formed from a rectangular bar of ductile metal. This form of connector may be permanently fastened to a bus bar. Such an arrangement guarantees the attainment of .high electrical conductivity for the connector. With such an arrangement, the cable or wire is pressed into direct and intimateengagement with the bus bar. This form of direct engagement is very efficient. This connector is formed from the blanks of the shape shown in Fig. 8. The,blank of Fig. 8 is, then drawn into the shape indicatedin Fig. 9. This operation is essentially a drawing operation and is quite simmetal and forms the opening 38. The cable and screw plug receiving portion 36 is then assembled with a bus bar 40 by inserting ends 25 into holes 42 in bus bar 40. The bus bar and the i do and The punch, how- I 'ever, continues to move and is forced through screw plug receiving portion 36 are then riveted 1 together by striking the ends 35. The striking of the ends 35 is preferably so severe, that the particles of the ductile metal 01' the cable and screw plug receiving portion and the bus bar are intermingled. Such an intermingling of particles not only makes the mechanical connection besame diameter as the hole 28. This makes 'it possible forthe threads to extend a. substantial tween the cable and screw plug receiving portion and bus bar more permanent,'but it also increases the electrical conductivity of the joint between the two. Where desired the ends 35 of the cable and screw plug receiving portion may be soldered or brazed to the bus bar. Such an arrangement would guarantee a very high electrical conductivity for the jointbetween the bus bar and the cable and screw plug receiving portion. To secure a maximum of electrical and mechanical efllciency for the joint between the bus bar and the cable and screw plug receiving portion, the cable and screw plug receiving portion might be both riveted and solderedto the bus bar. The holes 42 in the bus bar 40 that receive projections 35, mayv be punched out so the opening in the connector is parallel to, or at an angle to the axis of the bus bar In. This is quite importantsince distance down into the cylindrical 'formation as shown in Fig. 11. This is especially advantageous since it makes possible the tight clamping of theconductor by the screw plug for a lasting electrical connection for small as well as large con-'- ductors.
Whereas a preferred method has been shown' and described in the drawings and accompanying description, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes in the invention may be I made without altering the scope of the invention.

This necessitates the use of'an oversize box, which increases the cost of the equipment. By using this type of connector it is possible to use a small box and yet have adequate gutter space. The opening 38in the cable and screw plug receiving por--' tion of the connector is threaded toreceive screw plug 32 or asimilar wire or cable-holding means.

drawing the bar portion into a cup-shaped cylinder, the side'edges of the bar being folded into engagement as the bar is drawn into the die, until.
the bar metal reaches the end of Y the die' cavity and passes into the central opening, thereby forming a continuous cylindrical opening through the connector, then punching cable receiving openings through the side walls of the cylinder in line with'the length of the bar and threading the interior wall of the cylinder from its punched out end to receive a clamping screw plug.
2. The method of producing a one-piece solde'rless connector from a flat .rectangular bar, said connector having a drawn cylindrical portionwith an external circumference substantially double the width of the bar, which comprises drawing a portionofthe bar into a cylindrical die by means of a cylindrical punch and thereby folding the side edges of the bar about the punch into engagement to form a cup-shaped cylinder with an external circumference of substantially double the width of the bar, continuing the movement of the punch after forming the cup to punch an opening through the closed end wire or cable-and the bus bar is quite noteworthy.
This permits the electricity to pass directly from the bus bar into the wire or cable. Such an arrangement assures a high electrical conductivity drical opening through the connector, punching for the electrical connection between the cable and the bus bar. The inside .of the cable and screw. plug receiving portion oi this connector is formed'with the die that cutsthe hole 38. This makes the internal diameter of the cable and screw plug receiving portionsubstantially the.
