Abstract
An electrical connector junction means for flat conductor cable lying along a floor. The electrical connector junction means includes a base having a substantially flat supporting surface for mounting of the base on the floor and having an opening therethrough for receiving through the opening a flat conductor cable when the base is mounted to the floor overlying the flat conductor cable. A support member is secured to the base and includes at least one mounting surface thereon. A fastener is provided for fastening the conductor of the flat conductor cable and a second conductor to the mounting surface. In a preferred embodiment, the second conductor comprises a conventional round conductor wire and the flat conductor cable includes a suitable terminal connector, both of which are sandwiched between the mounting surface and the head of the fastener. A pedestal housing is also provided for the base and the support member and may include means for mounting of a duplex or other suitable electrical device therein and to which the second conductor is connected.
