bearing plates '14:, 15 thus have their outer of the flange 13.

edges turned away :trom'each' other, and this is al s7o the case with the bearing plates 16,1 I

In order to secure a wire in the hole 18 the operator grasps the bearing platel and raises it, therebycompressing the spring 20. The wire is next inserted through the hole 18 and the bearing plates released so that the pressure of the spring forces the bear-' ing plate 14 directly downward upon the wire, pinning it against the upper surface

Other wires

20, 21, 22, 23 may be connected with the binding post. In order to connect the

wires

20, 21, they are simply forced in between the

clamping plates

14, 15, as will be understood. from Figs. 1, 2 and Similarly the

wires

22, 23 are clamped intermediate the

clamping plates

16, 17. 1, wires 24, may also be connected, the wire 24 being inserted through the hole 18, and the wire 25 through the hole 19, in each case the wire being held by pressure upon the

adjacent clamping plate

14 or 17 as the "case may be.

Integralwith thestem 10 is a threaded portion 26 which screws into the sleeve 8, as will be understood from Fig. 2, and is provided with a hole 27. The. purpose of this hole can best be understood by reference to Fig. 5, which shows aslightly different form of base. In this instance the stem is shown at 10 and differs not at all from the stem 10 appearing in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, except in the fact that its upper end has not yet been spun. The lower end of the stem l0 'is provided with a threaded portion 26, or, in other words, is identical with thecorresponding portion shown in Fig. 2 and has a hole 27 extending diametrically through it. The threaded portion 26 of the stem 10 extends through a plate 28 of electrosc. Engaging the lower end of the threaded portion 26 are revoluble nuts 29,

3O threaded internally and applied as indicated in Fig. 5. The hole 27 and the nut 30 may be employed for clamping an additional wire in position. For this purpose the wire is extended through the hole and the nut 30 is run down upon it.

In the construction shown in Fig. 6 the stem 31 is provided at its bottom with a flange 32 and is mounted upon an anchorage 33 which is embedded in a base 34 of insulating material. The anchorage 33is provided with a hole 35 extending through it and adapted to receive a smaller portion of the insulating material. A vertically disposed partition 36 is sometimes used as indicated in Fig. 7. The stem 38 is provided with an elongated portion 39 having a flange 10 integral with it and revolubly en- As indicated by Figs. 3 and' I gaging this flange is a nut 41. i The stem 38 is provided with a flange 42 integral with it. I

In order to assemble the inv Fi tended through the partition 36 and the nut all is fitted upon the flange 10 and is tightened against the partition 36. This construction affords a double-ended binding parts indicated post which, in other respects, is similar to those shown in the other fi res.

I do not limit myself to the use of any particular metal or of any particular insulating material in the construction of the variouspartsiof this binding post and parts associated-with it. Neither do I limit my 7, the elongated portion 39 18 ex-:

self to th'e xact form of binding post shown in the *drawings.

Having thus described my invention,"I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A binding post, comprising a stem,

clamping plates encircling the same, means for preventing the easy removal of said,

clamping plates from said stem, and a spring for pressing said clamping plates apart in the general direction of said stem.

2. A binding post, comprising a body portion provided with a flange, and further'provided with a portion for connecting said body portion with a base, said stem being Further provided at its end opposite said flange with another flange, clamping plates disposed intermediate said flanges, and a spring member disposedintermediate said clamping plates. 4

3. A binding post, comprising a pair of movable clamping plates having their edges cupped in opposite directions to facilitate the entrance of a wire intermediate said clamping plates, and means for pressing one of said clamping plates toward the other.

4. A binding post, comprising a pair of .movable clamping plates, a stem threaded through said clamping plates, and a spring disposed intermediate said clamping plates for forcing the same in opposite directions.

5. A binding post, comprising a stem provided with a flange, a movable clampin plate encircling said stem and disposed ad jacent to said flange which forms a limiting stop therefor, a second movable: clamping plate, and means for forcing-said second clamping plate toward said first-mentioned clamping plate by spring tension.

S. The combimition of a stem, :1 pair of movable clampingplates mounted thereupon and adapted to secure a wire, another pair of movable olan'iping piates mounted upon said stem and adapted to secure another wire, anda spring disposed into ediate said pairs of clamping plates and compressing the same in opposite directions.

9. A binding post, compr' ling stein pro vided with an annular tiange spun oufwardly therefrom and integral tnerewith, and clamping, members slidabl mounted upon said stem, one of said clamping members being mo 'able relatively to another for the purpose ot securing a wire theretait-ween.

10. A binding post comprising;' a body member provided with a portion for securing it to a support, and further provided with flanges, clan'ipin members eonneoted to said body member and movable in opposite directioi'is, and spring mechanism disposed between said clamping members for exerting pressure against them.

11. A. binding post, comprising;

a body member provided with a portion for securinnit to a support, and further provided with hinges, a pair of movable clamping members com'iected to said body member, and means for setanring conductor under spring tension between said pair of said clan'ipingmembe 12. A binding post, comprising a body member novided with-a portion for seem ing it to a support, and further provided with a flange, a pair of morable clamping members, and a spring for forcing one of said clamping memberstoward another.
