EDWARD N. DIOKERSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
ELECTRIC-CIRCUIT TERMINAL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,462, dated May 11, 1897.
Application filed April 5, 1897. Serial No. 630,728. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD N. DICKER- soN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electric-Circuit Terminals, of which the following is a specification.
Where a wire designed to carry an electric current is provided with a terminal adapted to fit a binding-post, connection can only be made with a binding-post specially made to receive such terminal. Some of these terminals have been made with a U-shaped piece adapted to embrace a binding-post and be clamped into position, and others have been made with an end portion adapted to fit into through a binding-post and secured in position by screwing a threaded bolt down on top of the projecting end of the wire.
My invention is designed to provide a terminal which shall be constructed so as to be capable of use with either kind of bindingpost.
In the drawings I have illustrated a construction embodying my invention,in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the terminal connected to the end of a wire. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the terminal connected with one'form of binding-post. Fig. 3 is a View similar to Fig. 2, but showing another form of binding-post. Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of the parts shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 3.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
Referring to the drawings in detail, A represents a wire, and B is the terminal, which is provided with a flat U-shaped portion 19, designed to embrace a binding-post O.
b designates a rounded end portion of one of the U-shaped arms of the terminal, which rounded end portion is adapted to be inserted into the form of binding-post, as D, wherein the connection is made by passing the terminal through a transverse hole 61 in the binding-post, the terminal being retained in position by screwing down the thumb-screw d upon it.
In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 4 the U-shaped portion 1) is made to embrace a central post 0', and a milled nut c is screwed down upon the said fiat portion to maintain it in position in contact with the bindingpost. 1
What is claimed as new is- An electric terminal attached to a circuitwire, the same consisting of a substantially U-shaped, flat portion, one of the arms of the U being-provided with a rounded projection, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
E. N. DIOKERSON.
