AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the screwless terminal must protrude below the socket base to allow conductor entry, which increases the depth of the socket outlet
Also, this increases the length of the screwless terminal due to the minimum length of two conductors that must be accommodated from opposite sides

Embodiment Construction

[0037] like figure 1 The shown screwless terminal assembly according to the invention comprises a housing 1 preferably attached to a plastic housing 2 of a socket unit or the like. The housing 1 accommodates an elastic member 3 such as a spring and a release lever assembly 4 . like Figure 1b As shown, the release lever mechanism 4 according to the invention can be pushed from one side to release the conductor from the opposite side of the terminal. When the pressure is released, such as Figure 1a As shown, the release lever mechanism automatically returns to its rest position. The construction of the release lever assembly and the terminal housing to achieve the above functions will be explained below.

[0038] The release lever mechanism 4 and the release lever assembly in the terminal housing function in Figure 2a and 2bshown in . The release lever mechanism 4 includes a cylindrical pivot member 5 for mounting the release lever mechanism 4 to a screwless terminal h...

Abstract

The screwless terminal assembly in accordance with this invention is capable of receiving conductors on substantially opposite directions in a same plane and releasing said conductors with a single release mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, the screwless terminal comprises a single release lever mechanism (4) capable of being actuated on mutually opposite directions to facilitate independent release of two different conductors. The release lever is pivoted about an axis of rotation (5) and is used for releasing the conductor on both sides on the same plane. The release lever mechanism is capable of automatically returning to its rest position once the force applied on it is withdrawn.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a screwless terminal assembly capable of receiving conductors in substantially opposite directions in the same plane and releasing the conductors with a single release mechanism. Background technique [0002] A screwless terminal is a connecting device used for the connection and subsequent disconnection of rigid (solid or stranded) or flexible connectors, or for the interconnection of two or more conductors that can be detached. Said connection is formed directly or indirectly via springs, components of angular, eccentric or conical form, etc., without special preparation of the conductors involved other than removal of the insulation. The release lever is used to deform the screwless terminal spring by applying force to release the conductor. The release lever can be actuated manually or with a tool. Typically, two release levers are required when the conductors are on opposite sides of a screwless terminal. [000...
