BINDING POST.
APPLICATION FILED MAR.6,1905.
I EHI IL.
HENRY E. REEVE, OF BROOKLYN NEW YORK.
BINDING-POST.
Specification of Letters Patent.
rammed Dec. 19,1905.
Application filed March 6, 1905. Serial No. 248,499.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY E. REEVE, a citizen of the United States, residing at N o. 459 Carroll street, borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Binding-Posts, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip tion.
My invention relates to electrical apparatus, and particularly to a new and improved bindingpost.
Among the objects of the invention are rapidity and economy of production, simplicity, and effectiveness of operation.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is aplan view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is an end elevation thereof. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a modification. Fig. 5 is a plan view of a detail of construction. Fig. 6 is an edge elevation thereof.
The body of the binding-post comprises an arched portion A, having a base formed by laterally extending the lower ends of said arched portion to form the feet B B.
I O is a subplate closing the lower side of the arched portion and preferably extending under the feet B B, so as to be held rigidly thereby.
D D are rivets by which the binding-post may be secured to any suitable support E. Obviously screws or other equivalent fastening devices might be substituted for such riv ets. If desired, the binding-post may be inulated from the support E, as indicated at G is a binding-screw which passes through a threaded portion in the top of the arch A, so that when screwed down it will tend to clamp anything located between the inner end of the screw and the subbase-plate O. In the form shown I have provided a plate H, which loosely slides up and down between the side walls of the arched portion A and between which and the subplate O the wire end may be held.
I represents the end of a wire as it would appear in place. The subbase-plate C is preferably arched slightly directly under the arch A, so that the wire end I will be yieldingly clamped in position and the insulation, if any, will be protected.
In Figs. 5 and 6 it will be seen that the ends of the plate H have lateral extensions H H, which overstand slightly the sides of the arch A and prevent the accidental disengagement of said plate. The entrance edge of the plate H is also beveled, as indicated at H Fig. 6, which facilitates the ready introduction of the wire end.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4 the subplate C is dispensed with and the plate O substituted in lieu thereof. This plate C corresponds to the plate H in that it is of substantially the same shape and loosely fits between the side walls of the arch A. Of course even this might be dispensed with.
There are many advantages resulting from the improved construction herein set forth. For example, by this arrangement the frame of the binding-post may be economically and rapidly produced from sheet metal struck up by suitable dies. By having the feet arranged laterally on the arched portion a firm secure foundation is provided, and it is practically impossible for the binding-post to become loose and rotate out of its intended position, a common fault with binding-posts of the prior art which are centrally supported. By the foregoing arrangement there is little or no tendency to cut the wire, since it is held firmly between broad contact-surfaces, which embrace it in such a manner as to avoid this danger. WVhile it is preferred to have the plate H present, the same might be dispensed with and the wire held by the lower end of the binding-screw G; but such an arrangement would be inferior, since the rotation of the screw might tend to injure or break the connection. This is avoided by the preferred construction, which includes said plate H.
What I claim is 1. In a binding-post, a sheet-metal arched portion, a base for said arched portion, a clamping-screw carried by said arched portion, and means of attachment of said base to a suitable support.
2. In a binding-post, an arched portion, outwardly and oppositely extending feet carried by said arched portion, and a screw clamping device carried by said arched portion and a base-plate.
3. In a device of the character described, an arched portion, outwardly and oppositely projecting feet, a base-plate extending entirely across the bottom of said arched portion, a movable plate within said arched portion and above said base-plate, and a screw cooperating with said movable plate for the purpose specified.
4. In a binding-post, an arched portion,
ICC
IIO
10 feet, a stationary base-plate extending entirely across the bottom of said arched portion and under said feet, a screw carried by said arched portion a movable plate below the same and above said base-plate, and lateral extensions at the corners of said mov able plate.
