Abstract
A grooming ring on a grooming ring carrier in which the grooming ring extends around a grooming space while being displaced axially to enable all surfaces of the ring to be free of obstruction in at least one direction laterally of a surface of the carrier from which the ring extends. This allows for simultaneous molding of carrier and ring without a mold core for forming the grooming space. In practice, the ring may be formed from two ring portions which are displaced axially relative to each other. The grooming ring carrier may be either a fanning strip or a terminal block.
