rlhis invention relates in general to power outlets and more particularly to devices for rapidly and easily providing a power outlet receptacle at any desired location on a power cable.
In temporary installations Where portable and hold the prongs of an electric plug. The lower end of each of the contact elements I4 and I5 is provided with a hook I6 and I'I respectively, which faces outwardly to facilitate the soldering of each hook to a wire of the electric power cable which it is desired to tap.
Referring to Figure 2, the reference numeral I8 refers to a tongue shaped element made of molded rubber or other suitable electrical insupower units are utilized, it is sometimes desirable 10 lating material to be placed between the two to provide a power outlet receptacle at an interwires of the cable I3 in order to separate and mediate point of the power cable so that addielectrically insulate the wires of the cable from tional power outlets may be made available from each other.
