Abstract
Connecting device which is intended to be installed on a conductor comprises rotatable male and female parts having conductor receiving bores extending therethrough. The bores are eccentric relative to the axis of rotation of the parts so that the opening defined by the bores is constricted when the parts are rotated relative to each other thereby to establish an electrical connection with the conductor. The invention is characterized by its simplicity, ease of manufacture, and by the fact that it can be applied to the conductor without the need of specialized tools.
