No. 775,644
3 Claims. (Cl. 339-254) Our invention relates to telescoping binding posts, being those wherein two relatively slidable parts are spring loaded to cause an inserted electrical wire or conductor, to be gripped between them and retained in position. Principal objects of the invention are to provide an improved binding-post construction of the foregoing character which permits a conductor to be readily inserted therein and removed therefrom, and grips the inserted conductor firmly without injury thereto.
In known binding posts of the foregoing telescoping type, it is customary to telescope the parts against the pressure of a loading spring until openings through the parts coincide to permit the insertion of a conductor through both openings. The inserted conductor is gripped between the parts when the initially applied force is removed. A principal disadvantage of this type of structure is that the edges of theopenings in the telescoping parts tends to impart a shearing'force upon the conductor gripped between them. If the conductor is a wire of a soft metal, such as copper, it is nicked and partly sheared at the points at which it is gripped. As a consequence, relatively slight movements of the ungripped portion of the wire sufiice to cause bending and breakage at the nicked or partly sheared location.
According to the invention, the spring-loaded parts are secured together for limited telescoping movement by a pin fixed in one of them and movable in a slot through the other which intersects the conductor-receiving opening therethrough. The inserted conductor is secured in place by being gripped vice-like between the pin and a side wall of the wire-receivingopening and of the slot, or both, whereby undesired nicking and shearing action are avoided.
According to one feature of the invention, the side wall with which the noted pin cooperates in gripping the inserted wire may have a shape departing sufficiently from a fiat surface that the gripping action produces a slight bend in an inserted small wire which enhances t the gripping action and the conductivity of the connection without substantial nicking.
According to a further feature, the telescoping parts may be of such form that the wire or similar conductor to be inserted may be laid in place sidewise rather than being inserted endwise, facilitating placement and rer'noval. V V A still further feature is that a conductor may be inserted at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the telescoping parts, which is of distinct advantage in crowded quarters where direct side access to the binding post is difiicult.
The foregoing and other objects and features of our invention and the manner of attaining them will become more apparent, and the invention itself will be best understood, by reference to the following description of three embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein Figs. 1 to 5 show a first embodiment; Figs. 6 to 8 show a second 2,960,677 Pa tented Nov, 15,19 0

2 embodiment; and Figs. 9 to 11 show a third embodiment:
Figs. 1 to 4 are respectively a top view, a left side view, a front view, and a side sectional view of a binding post according to the first embodiment, Figs. 3A, 4A, and 5 being two auxiliary views and a top sectional view;
Figs. 6, 7, and 8 are respectively a left-side view, a front view, and a front sectional view of the second embodiment; and
Figs. 9 to 11 are respectively a left-side view, a. front view, and a left sectional View of the third embodiment.
First embodiment (Figs. 1 t0 5) Referring to Figs. 1 to 5, along with Figs. 3A and 4A, the binding post of the first embodiment comprises a principal stem-like portion A, loading spring B, thimblelike cup C, and pin D fixed in cup C to hold parts A and C slidingly together, since pin D extends through slot 7 through the upper stem portion 3 of fixedmem her A.
Fixed member A, consisting of upper stem 3, threaded lower stem 4, and hexagonal base 2, and fastened to insulating panel 1 by nut 9, may conveniently be turned from a section of hexagonal rod.
Compression spring B surrounds upper stem 3 between base 2 and the lower edge of cup C, to hold the cup in its normal uppermost position, wherein riveted pin D carried by cup C engages the top of'slot 7 in upper stem 3.
Conductor-receiving hole 6 through upper stem 3 intersects slot 7, conveniently at right angles, near the upper end of the slot. Cup C contains a conductor-receiving hole 5 which exposes hole 6r when cup C is pushed down. a
To insert a conductor, such as the uncovered end of wire 8, into the binding post of an electrical connection, cup C is pushed down against the force (say five pounds) of spring B until opening 5 in cup C exposes opening 6 in upper stem 3. Pin D is thereby carried down in slot 7 below hole 6.
The end of a conductor, such as wire 8, may now be inserted through both openings 5 and 6, and above the lowered pin D. Cup C is now released and is moved up by spring B, carrying pin D upwardly within slot 7 into vice-like gripping contact with wire 8, pressing it against the upper side wall of openings 6 and 7. If the wire 8 is relatively small and is of soft copper, it curves, where gripped, into the upper portion of slot 7, as shown best in Fig; 4A. The gripping action and electrical connection are thereby enhanced without the occurrence of nicking or shearing. In this regard, it will be observed that receiving opening 5 of the cup is shownsomewhat larger than receiving opening 6 through the stem. -This feature cooperates with the location of pin D in the cup, with its top surface higher than the lower limits of opening 5, to insure that the inserted conductor is not gripped by the lower wall of opening 5, thereby assuring the desired absence of shearing tendency.
vSecond embodiment (Figs. 6 t0 8) side milling 105, with an inner downward extension 105a in place of opening 5, and providing upper stem 103 with wire-receiving side milling 106, in place of through hole 6. Slot or milling 106 intersects one side of pin slot 107 near its upper end, as seen best in dotted outline in Fig. 6. 'When cup C1 is pushed down against the force of spring B1, slot 106 is exposed by 105 and 105a as the cup C1 carries pin D1 down in pin slot 107. A conductor such as 108 (Fig. 8) may now be introduced side- Ward into slot 106, through slot 105, 105a. Alternatively, 108 may be inserted endwise to enter 105a and 106.
When cup C1 is then released and is moved upwardly by spring B1, it carries pin D1 into contact with the inserted conductor 108 as shown in Fig. 8, the conductor being gripped between the pin and the upper wall of slot 106. Since the slots 106 and 107 intersect slightly below the top of 107, curving of the gripped conductor 108 may occur as described and shown for wire 8, permitting cup C1 and pin D1 to rise slightly higher than their position shown in Fig. 8.
Third embodiment (Figs. 9 to 11) Referring to Figs. 9 to 11, the third embodiment of the invention is also generally similar to the first embodiment but differs therefrom in that a wire or other conductor may be inserted downwardly and inwardly into the binding post, to permit use of the binding post in crowded quarters, for example.
Items A2 to D2 and 202 to 208 of Figs. 9 to 11 correspond to items A to D and 2 to 8 of Figs. 1 to 5.
For diagonal insertion, cup C2 has conductor-receiving opening 205 extending through the upper front edge at a desired angle (such as 45 degrees) to its longitudinal axis. For through insertion, where desired, opening 205a is provided in the cap aligned generally with 205. Upper stern 203 has its wire receiving opening 206 inclined to the center line of the upper stem by the noted angle, such as 45 degrees.
When cap C2 is pushed down against the force of spring B2, opening 206 is exposed by openings 205 and 205a. A wire such as 208 may now be inserted from the right upper corner into and through openings 205, 206, and 205a as shown in Fig. 11.
When cup C2 is released, it is moved upward by spring B2, carrying pin D2 into contact with the inserted wire 208 as shown in Fig. 11, the wire being gripped between the pin and the upper wall of opening 206 in the upper stem. Since opening 206 and slot 207 intersect slightly below the top of slot 207 the pin exerts a wedging action on the wire, enhancing both the gripping effect and the electrical contact between wire and stem.
In the case of thin wires there may also be a tendency to a curving of the gripped wire as described and shown for wire 8.
While we have described above the principles of our invention in connection with specific apparatus, it is to be clearly understood that this description is made only by way of example and not as a limitation to the scope of our invention.
We claim:
