ELECTRIC-TERMINAL CLIP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 26, 1909.
Application filed August 2, 1906. Serial No. 328,838.
1 '0 all whom it may concern: Be 1t known that I, GEORGE McINTYRE, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in they county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Electric-Terminal Clip, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved electric terminal clip which is simple and durable in construction, and arranged to permit convenient attach ment to the binding post of an electric apparatus, and to insure a strong and exceedlngly reliable contact for-the proper transmission of electric energy.
'lhe invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claim.
A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a art of this specification, in which similar 0 aracters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement as applied; and Fig. 2 is an enarged face view of the improvement.
'lhe electric terminal clip A is made from a piece of 'spr' wire, bent to form a' s ring or a clamping oop A and a spiral of which the loop A is in the form of a cross loop and encircles the binding post B of an electric apparatus, and the spiral A is clenched to thebare portion C of the conductor C connected with a source of electrical energy. Ihe members of the clamping loop A cross each other and both termmate at one end in an eye A and one of the said loop members terminates at the other end in a shank A. connected with the spiral A, and the other loop member terminates in a fingerpiece A W hen the ch 1s not in use the inner diameter of the loop A is considerably less than the diameter of the binding ost B, and when it is desired to engage the cop A with the binding post B then the operator engages the shank A and the fingerpiece A between two fingers and resses the fingerpiece A toward the she A, so that the loop A is opened (see dotted lines in Fi .2),
to permit of readily slip ing the open loop A onto the binding post ll A hen this has been done the operator releases the shank A and the fingerpiece A so that the loop members in closing, owing to the resiliency of the clip material, firmly engage the peripheral surface of the binding post B, to insure an exceedingly firm-and reliable contact, especially as the members of the spring loop A completely encircle the binding post.
By the use of the eye A the resiliency and clamping power of the members of the loop A are considerable,- and it will be noticed that by providing the clip with a spring loop capable of being readily opened and closed, and having its members completely encircling the binding post, a proper contact is had betweenthe clip and the binding post, to insure an uninterrupted transmission of the electrical energy from the conductor to the binding post by way of the im roved clip.
aving thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
As an article of manufacture, an electric terminal clip for engagement with a binding post, made from a single piece of spring wire, doubled up to form a resilient eye, and a loop for en agement with a binding post, the termina s of the said eye crossing each other to merge into the said engaging loop, one terminal of the engaging loop being arranged for attachment to a conductor and for forming a finger piece, and the other terminal of the enga 'ng loop forming a second finger piece, t c said finger pieces when pressed toward each other opening the said engaging loop, and when released of pressure allowing the engaging loop to close y the resiliency of the said eye to firmly contact with the bindin ost. I
In testimony whereof l iiave signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE MoINTYRE.
