The present invention relates to a connector for electrically connecting a dual in-line package (DIP) to a printed circuit board or the like. More specifically, the invention discloses a lower housing having a plurality of contact members and a movable upper housing which opens the contact members to admit the leads extending from the DIP.

Zero insertion force connector

The present invention relates to a battery terminal for use on low voltage, high current storage batteries of the type used by telephone companies. More particularly the terminal comprises an elongated split cylinder which slides over the battery post, a locking subassembly for securing the cylinder to the post and a wire barrel adapted to be crimped onto a conductor.

The present invention relates to a plug and its method of manufacture. The plug is of the type having a two piece, insulative housing and flat-bladed terminals. More particularly, the method of manufacture includes a continuous molding operation wherein a plurality of cavities are spaced about the circumference of a wheel.

The present invention relates to a device used in capsule-making machines which, after the gelatin has cured, strips it off the tapered forming pin. More particularly, the device is a plastic ring having a spring metal split ring insert embedded therein along with an external anti-creep spring to maintain proper dimension of the device.

Stripper ring for a capsule-making machine

An electrical connector for storage battery posts stamped and formed from a coplanar sheet of conducting material. A plurality of tabs are bent from either side of the strip of material to form a plurality of C-shaped spring members. The opposing spring members have dissimilar radii so that after the strip is formed into a circular shape, the inner surface is tapered to fit the trapezoidal configuration of the posts.

Battery post connector

The invention relates to a terminal and a method for terminating an electrical wire therein. The terminal employs a wire barrel having a asymmetrical pattern of cavities into which the wire is extruded. The method provides optimum electrical contact through high level deformation and maximum tensile strength through low level deformation.

This invention relates to a device for splicing two wires together whereby such splice can be disconnected and the device reused. More particularly the invention provides a single elongated housing of insulating material and a one piece contact strip encased therein. The strip contains a spring member and apertured frames which receive the wire conductors. Upon forcing depressed steps on the strip into slots in the housing the apertures are deformed into electrical and mechanical contact with the conductors. The spring member retains the force thereon until release by means of a releasing tool.

This invention relates to a terminal locator and retainer device for use in crimping dies. More particularly the device consists of a molded block of resilient material which contains locating means for accurately positioning the terminal and retaining means for holding the terminal and wire being terminated without need for external support. Further, the device provides a dynamic means for preventing terminal bowing.
