8 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures WIRE CONNECTOR This invention relates to electric wire connectors and terminal assemblies thereof.
The provision of satisfactory electric wire connectors and assemblies thereof has been a problem especially in connection with the mounting of bare resistance wire elements. This is due to the intermittent heating and cooling of such elements, with its resulting expansion and contraction, tending to loosen the elements with respect to their connectors, producing an unreliable electrical connection therebetween.
Accordingly, it is a major object of the present invention to remedy this deficiency in a practical and economical manner.
This is accomplished in the present invention by providing an electric wire connector, formed of readily bendable sheet metal, comprising a flat base having bent, preferably perpendicularly, out of the plane thereof on one pair of opposite sides a pair of spaced,
opposed, generally flat clamping tabs each having at 7 least one and preferably at least two wire receiving apertures closely adjacent to the base, with the base having a portion extending between the apertures in opposite tabs. The apertures in opposite tabs are positioned with respect to one another for the insertion of a wire thereinto to be gripped and clamped between the tabs and the base portion upon bending of the tabs toward one another into substantial parallelism with the base portion. Preferably, the base has side extensions at the sides thereof between the tabs bent perpendicularly out of the plane of the base on the side thereof opposite the tabs, said side extensions extending beyond at least one and preferably both of the tabs in a direction perpendicular thereto and being interconnected in the plane of the base to provide an end extension which is provided with terminal board mounting means for mounting the connector on a terminal board of flat sheet insulating material having a plurality of slots therein, extending in a plane parallel to the tabs. Preferably, too, the end extension includes an electrical connecting member extending beyond the terminal board mounting means.
For the purpose of more fully explaining further objects and features of the invention, reference is now made to the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, together with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view, partly in section, showing a terminal assembly including a plurality of the wire connectors of the invention;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are, respectively, side sectional views of a wire connector of FIG. 1 in open and clamped positions;
FIGS. 4 and 5 are, respectively, cross sectional views of the wire connectors of FIGS. 2 and 3; and
FIG. 6 is a projected view of a wire connector of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings, in FIG. 1 is illustrated a terminal assembly comprising a terminal board 12 of flat sheet insulating material having a plurality of slots 14 therein and a plurality of electric wire connectors 17, 18 and 19 mounted on said board and extending through said slots. Board 12 is also provided with two holes 16 for attaching it to a suitable mounting structure.
According to the invention, connectors 17, 18 and 19 are formed from flat stock of readily bendable sheet metal and are shown in projected, unbent configuration 20 in FIG. 6. Each such connector has a flat base 22 having bent perpendicularly out of the plane thereof on one side thereof a pair of spaced, opposed, generally flat clamping tabs 24, 28 and on the opposite side thereof a pair of side extensions 32, 34 at the sides thereof between said clamping tabs.
The side extensions 32, 34 extend beyond clamping tab 24 in a direction perpendicular thereto and are interconnected in the plane of base 22 to provide an end extension including an electrical connecting member 36 extending through slots 14. The end extension has mounting tabs 40 for mounting connectors 17, 18 and 19 on terminal board 12 with their connecting members on one side of said terminal board and the remainder of said connector on the opposite side of said terminal board.
Clamping tabs 24, 28 each have a pair of wire receiving apertures closely adjacent to the plane of base 22 generally tangential thereto, apertures 23 and 25 in tab 24 and apertures 27 and 29 in tab 28, with said base having a portion 21 extending between apertures in opposite tabs. Furthermore, the apertures in opposite tabs, for example aperture 27 in tab 28 and aperture 23 in tab 24, are aligned with one another for the insertion of a wire 30 (FIGS. 2 and 4) thereinto to be gripped and clamped between said tabs and base portion 21 upon bending of said tabs toward one another into substantial parallelism with said base portion (FIGS. 3 and 5), as shown with respect to connectors 18 and 19 in FIG. I. It is a particularly important characteristic of the invention that when the clamping tabs are bent into parallelism with the base portion, the apertures therein are deformed from a generally circular to an oval configuration, with the edges of the apertures gripping the wire very tightly.
A typical resistance wire assembly is shown in FIG. 1 wherein a resistance wire coil element 44 extends between independent connectors 18 and 19 mounted on terminal board 12 with its opposite end wires 30 gripped and clamped between the tabs and the base portion with the tabs bent toward one another into substantial parallelism with the base portion.
