Definitions
- ABSTRACT I A connector having a contact element for making an electrical connection between a continuing or run wire and a tap wire terminating in the connector.
- the walls of the connector define a channel with an open side to fit over a length of the run wire in a position for engagement by the contact element, and the connector includes a retaining wall mounted for movement to a latched position across the open side of the channel to retain the run wire therein in proper position for engagement by the contact element.
- No. 3,1 l8,7l5 have body members which assembled prior to attachment and have parts which are relatively movable to complete the connection. While being relatively easy to use, connectors of this type require pressing a contact element into engagement with a run wire positioned in a channel having an open side. The open side affords the possibility of incorrect placement of the run wire during engagement of the contact element resulting in a defective electrical connection.
- the present invention provides a connector useful for making an electrical connection to an insulated run wire.
- the connector which is aone piece assembly prior to attachment, has a channel having an open side for receiving a length of the run wire.
- the connector includes a wall which may be latched in position across the open side of the channel to retain and properly position awire for subsequent engagement by a contact element.
- a' connector of the type having a resilient conductive contact element with spaced wire engaging fingers, and an insulating body member having-spaced projecting walls defining a channel with an open side for receiving a length of run wire.
- a slot extends from a top surface on the body member transverse of the channel and slidably receives the contact element for movement from a first position spaced from the channel to afford positioning a length of the run wire therein, to a second engaged position with the fingers extending across the channel to engage a run wire in the channel.
- the im proved connector according to the present invention includes a retaining wall pivotally mounted along one edge thereof to the end of one of the walls for movement from an open position spaced from the open side of the channel to afford positioning a run wire in the channel, to a closed position across the open side at which the retaining wall is retained by latching means to retain said run-wire in the channel in a proper position for engagement by the contact element.
- the connector also includes a cover mounted for movement from an open position affording access to the top side of the connector to press the contact element to its second position in engagement with a run

- a'connector 10 having a U-shaped conductive contact element 12 with spaced planar parallel legs having parallel aligned slots formed therein to provide spaced wire engaging fingers l4, and an insulating body member 16.
- the body member 16 is formed with a cavity 18 for receiving the end of a tap wire 17 (i.e. a wire which terminates in the connector) extending longitudinally into the body member through an inlet opening 20 in the end wall 19 toward an opposite end wall 21.
- the cavity communicates with a first or top surface 23 of the body member 16 through an opening 22 between the end walls 19 and 21 to afford direct visual observation of the position of a wire within the cavity 18 prior to, during, an subsequent to engagement by the contact element 12.
- the connector 10 is formed along one side with a generally U-shaped channel 24 positioned parallel to the cavity 18 and extend ing through both end walls 19 and 21.
- the channel 24 has an open side along one side of the connector 10 defined by spaced cantilevered wall members or'projecting walls 26 and 27 for receiving a length of a continuing or run wire 28.
- the body member 16 is formed with a pair of slots 30 extending transverse to the cavity 18 and channel 24 from the top surface 23 on the body member 16.
- the slots 30 slidably receive the contact element 12 for movement between a first position (FIG. 4) with the fingers 14 spaced from the cavity 18 and channel 24 to afford positioning wires therein, to a second engaged position (FIG. 3) within the slots 30 at which the fingers 14 extend across the cavity 18 and the channel 24 to engage wires therein.
- the connector 10 includes a retaining wall 34 attached along one side thereof by a first hinge portion 36 to the end of the projecting wall 26.
- a cover 38 is attached along the opposite edge of the retaining wall 34 by a second hinge portion 40.
- the first hinge portion 36 affords movement of the retaining wall 34 relative to the body member 16 from an open position spaced from the opening of the (FIGS. 1 and 2) toallow insertion of a length of a run wire; to a closed position between the walls 26 and 27 (FIGS. 3, 4, and 5) at which the retaining wall 34 is retained by a latching means later to be explained.
- the retaining wall 34 closes the open side of the channel 24, properly positions the wire within the channel 24 for engagement by the contact element 12, and provides support between the walls 26 and 27 during movement of the contact element 12 to its engaged position.
- the connector also includes means for restricting movement of a run wire within the channel 24.
- the retaining wall 34 includes a projection 39 having an arcuate surface and sized to press into the insulation of a run wire in the channel 24 to restrict its rotational and axial movement when the retaining wall 34 is in the closed position.
- the projection 39 is positioned along the retaining wall 34 to move between the slots 30 for the contact element 12 when the retaining wall 34 is engaged, and the ends of the projection are planar and spaced to guide the contact element 12 as it is moved to its engaged position.
- the second hinge portion 40 affords movementof the cover 38 relative to the retaining wall 34 and body member 16 from an open position (FIG. 4) with a' second surface 41 on the cover 38 spaced from the top surface 23 on the body member 16 to afford access to the contact element 12 to move it to its engaged position; to av closed position (FIG. 5).
- a flexible hook-like edge wall 42 parallel to and opposite the second hinge portion 40 is in engagement over a lip 43 and the second surface 41 is in contact with the top surface 23 over the opening 22 and the end of the engaged contact element 12 to provide electrical insulation over the wire end in the cavity 18 and over the exposed surface of the contact element 12.
- the body member 16, the first and second hinge portions 36 and 40, the retaining wall 34, andthe cover 40 are a one piece molding of a polymeric material, a preferred material being polypropylene. As molded, the retaining wall 34 and cover 38 projectfrom the body member 16 as illustrated in FIGS. land 2.
- the first and second hinge portions 36 and 40 are parallel and are each defined by a generally V-shaped groove 44, each groove being defined by a pair of converging walls 45.
- the grooves 44 reduce the thickness of the hinge portions 36 and 40 to no greater than 0.030 inch (preferably about 0.015 inch) along precisely located narrow strips 46 at the base of the grooves 44.
- the plastic material in the strips 46 will deform to allow movement of the retaining wall 34 relative to the body member 16, and movement of the cover 40 relative to the retaining wall 34. Movement of the retaining wall 34 to the closed position and subsequent movement of the cover 38 to the closed position will deform the strips 46 and move the walls 45 of each groove 44 toward a contacting position.
- the walls 45 of each groove 44 are disposed at an angle of at least 90 to each other when the retaining wall 34 and cover 38 are in the open position as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 to allow the closed position of the retaining wall 34 to be determined by contact with the wall 27, and the closed position of the cover 38 to be determined by contact between the surfaces 41 and 23.
- the connector 10 includes latching means for latching the retaining wall 34 in the closed position, and for latching the cover 38 in the closed position.
- the precisely located lineof bending afforded by the strips 46 between the body member 16 and the retaining wall 34 provide accurate positioning of an arcuate surface 51 on a hook-shaped longitudinally extending projection 47 on the retaining wall 34 which will contact an arcuate surface 48 on the wall 27 when the retaining wall 34 is moved toward the closed position. Further pressure to move the retaining wall 34 to the closed position will cause a camming action between the arcuate surfaces 48 and 51 to deflect the walls 26 and 27 of the channel 24 and allow the projection 47 to seat in a mating furrow 49 formed along the inner surface of the wall 27 to latch the retaining wall 34 in the closed position. In its closed position the retaining wall 34 will support and properly space the walls 26 and 27 during engagement of the contact member 12 with a pair of wires.
- the precisely located line of bending afforded by the strip 46 between the retaining wall 34 and the cover 38 provides accurate positioning of the edge wall 42 when the cover has moved toward the closed position so that an arcuate surface 50 on the edge wall 42 will contact an arcuate surface 52 on the lip 43 Further pressure on the cover 38 to move it to its closed positionwill cause a camming action between the arcuate surfaces 50 and 52 and deflection in the edge wall 42 and second hinge portion 40 so that the edge wall 42 will move over the lip 43 into latching engagement therewith to maintain the cover 38 in the closed position.
- the connector 10 also provides means to retain the insulated end of a tap wire in the cavity 18 prior to engagement of the contact element 12.
- the inlet opening 20 provides clearance about the end of a tap wire for whichthe connector 10 is sized to afford ease of entrance for a tap wire inserted into the cavity 18.
- the width of the cavity 18 narrows along a tapered wall portion 54 (FIG. 2) to direct the end of the inserted tap wire into the portion of the cavity 18 from the tapered wall portion 54 to the end wall 21.
- the portion of the cavity 18 from the tapered wall portion 54 to the end wall 21 is sufficiently narrow to insure proper lateral positioning of the tap wire for engagement by the contact element 12 and to provide a light press fit with the end of the inserted tap wire. This light pressfit will restrict accidental extraction of the tap wire from the cavity 18 prior to engagement thereof by the contact element 12, which is advantageous to a craftsman to allow him to direct his attention to other manipulation required to attach the connector 10.
