Tool-free detachable electric power connector

Abstract

This connector consists of metal wire sections having a round or oval cross-sectional contour, which are equal in number to the electric conductors to be interconnected, each section comprising a straight or curved central portion, according to the particular position and orientation of the end portions of the electric conductors to be interconnected, and curved end portions bent to an arcuate configuration having a center angle of less than 180.degree. to constitute a highly resilient loop, said wires consisting to this end of a high-grade steel core having a tensile strength of more than 80 kilograms per square millimeter and preferably of the order of 120 kg/sq.mm., coated with a copper layer having a thickness in excess of 0.3 mm and preferably of the order of 0.5 mm. This connector may be used notably for interconnecting electric conductors of the current lead-in type as depicted in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,777,300.
