[0112] In method 600, wire 400 is clamped between first clamping portion 140 and second clamping portion 240 with a predetermined force, electrical contact 402 is pushed into receptacle 504, and Pulling of the second top half 230 from the junction box 500 until the wire 400 slides provides for installing and confirming the locking in place of the electrical contact 402 in the junction box 500 in a single operation using a single tool (eg, device 100 ). fast and efficient process. By clamping the wire 400 between the first top half 130 and the second top half 230 with a predetermined force provided by the biasing device 304, it is allowed to connect the first top half 130 and the second top half 230 from the wire The box 500 is pulled out until the wire 400 slides between the first top half 130 and the second top half 230 (e.g., Figure 27 ) to verify that the electrical contacts 402 and junction box 500 are interlocked (eg, Figure 26 ). If the electrical contacts 402 and j...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus (500) and a method for manipulating a wire (400) related to a junction box (500). The apparatus (100) for manipulating a wire (400) comprises a first lever (102)and a second lever (202). The first lever (102) comprises a first tip-support portion (112), a first handle portion (118), and a first hinge portion (108). The second lever (202) comprises a second tip-support portion (212), a second handle portion (218), and a second hinge portion (208). The first hinge portion (108) and the second hinge portion (208) are pivotally interconnected about a lever-pivot axis (300). The apparatus (100) also comprises means for biasing (304) the first tip-support portion (112) and the second tip-support portion (212) toward each other, a first tip half (130) pivotally coupled to the first tip-support portion (112), and a second tip half (230) pivotally coupled to the second tip-support portion (212). The first tip half (130) comprises a first channel (132). Thesecond tip half (230) comprises a second channel (232).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for manipulating wires. Background technique [0002] It is often necessary to test electrical connectors installed in junction boxes to ensure that the electrical connectors are locked in place on the junction box. Conventional methods of testing the locked-in-place electrical connector include manually performing a pull check on the wires to which the electrical connector is attached, which is time consuming and subject to operator error. Contents of the invention [0003] Accordingly, devices and methods aimed at addressing at least the above concerns would find utility. [0004] The following is a non-exhaustive list of examples of subject matter that may or may not be claimable in accordance with this disclosure. [0005] One example of the subject matter according to the invention relates to a device for manipulating wires relative to a junction box. The wires have electrical contacts. T...
