Electrical wire connector

An electrical wire connector for electrically coupling together a plurality of electrical wires each having a bare portion, said connector comprising, in combination:

• a bridging member having a midsection interposed between a pair of sectional ends collectively fixed in a linear arrangement, each of said sectional ends having a lower jaw element integral thereto;
• an upper jaw element pivotally connecting to and residing above said lower jaw element to form a clamp mechanism capable of receiving the bare portion of the electrical wire, said upper jaw element having primary and tertiary slots and said lower jaw element having a secondary slot collectively capable of passing through and receiving an extended section of the bare portion of electrical wire;
• and
• a torsion spring situated in between said lower and upper jaw elements for applying a downward clamping force on the bare portion of the electrical wire confined within said clamp mechanism.

An electrical wire connector for electrically coupling together a plurality of electrical wires each having a bare portion, said connector comprising, in combination:

• a bridging member having a midsection interposed between a pair of sectional ends collectively fixed in a linear arrangement, each of said sectional ends having a lower jaw element integral thereto, said bridging member comprising a lower planar component having a perimeter wall extending upwardly from and being connected along a perimeter portion of the lower planar component to form an elongate cavity, said lower jaw element having a plurality of upwardly facing teeth integrated within said perimeter wall of the bridging member;
• an upper jaw element pivotally connecting to and residing above said lower jaw element to form a clamp mechanism for receiving the bare portion of the electrical wire, said upper jaw element comprising an upper planar component having first and second edges, a square-shaped end, an arcuate-shaped end, and a perimeter wall extending downwardly from said first and second edges and said square-shaped end to form an open-ended cavity, said upper jaw element having a plurality of downwardly facing teeth integrated within said perimeter wall thereof;
• and
• a torsion spring having upper and lower ends diametrically positioned and emanating from one side thereof toward said midsection, said torsion spring being positioned to simultaneously reside within said elongate cavity and said open-ended cavity so as to allow said upper and lower ends to respectively engage said upper and lower planar components.
