Abstract
To permit easy connection, and further to provide an electrical connection between a conductor and an electrically conductive device, for example, a base plate of a large fixture, a housing (4) of insulating material which has a contact element therein, and a flat surface (9) adapted to be placed against the device (7), is further formed with a metallic strip (28) electrically connected to the contact element (5). The metallic strip is formed with a bend or crease line (34) separating the strip into a neck portion (31) and a hook portion (36). The neck portion and the hook portion, together with the insulated housing (4), form a lever (48) in which the hook portion, upon insertion thereof through an aperture (45) in the flat surface of the device passes beneath and becomes located under the flat surface, engaging thereagainst and being supported therefrom, to permit at least part of the neck portion (31) to be passed, by lever action, through the aperture (45).
