PRESTON E. GILLING, OF CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO NOVELTY ELECTRIC COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYL- VANIA.
. ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 1, 1908.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PRESTON E. GILLING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Camden, inthe county of Camden and State of New Jersey, have invented an Improved Electrical Connector, of which the following is a specification. i
This invention is an electrical connector having flexible means for clam ing it to a conduit or the like and means or engaging it to a Wire, in close, effective and secure mechanical and electrical relation. In its preferred construction it is formed from a piece of tubing of suitable conducting material, by flattening or pressing together the sides of the tube exceptin an end section and bending the flattene portion to the form of a loop having pro ections turned out therefrom for drawing it up, with an open socket. for a wire in a terminal of one of the projections.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a one-piece, jointless connection between a structure such as a conduit and a conductor such as a wire, so that the clamping portion of the connector can be drawn up by a bolt to close conformation with the condnit and the socket of the connector can have.
a .wire soldered therein, whereby electrical leakage can becollected and carried oil to a ground.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 having the outwardly turned projections 2v and 3 with the terminal socket 4. on the projection 3, the clam ing portion comprised in the parts '1, 2 an 3 being formed of the laminations 5 and 6 joined at their edges by flattening a section of tubing and leaving an open terminal to form a'socket.
A bolt 7 is passed through the pro'ections or lugs 2 and 3 to draw them up an clamp them in close relation to a conduit or covering 8 for conductors 9, the flexible character of the loop permitting it to adjust itself in close conformation and form a perfect electrical connection forcarryin off electrical leakage. A wire 10 is set in t e socket 4 and connected in close and secure mechanical and electrical relation by means-of solder 11, the other end of the wire being connected with a ground 12 of any suitable character.
Having described myinvention I claim:
1. A connector comprisin with a socket therein extending be ondthe other projection, a conduit upon w ich said loop is clamped, and a conductorset in said socket. v
2. A connector comprised of a piece of tubing having a section thereof flattened and bent in a loop to form a clamp with a terminal having a socket therein.
In witness whereof I have hereunto afiixed 'my name in the presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 19th day of March, A. D. 1906.
