Electrical cord replacement connector
View Patent ↗An electrical plug connector including a body having a cavity, an electrical connection portion on the body, a wire locking mechanism in the cavity, and a current transmitter electrically connecting the electrical connection portion and the wire locking mechanism. The body may include a cover pivotable from an open position to a closed position.
1. An electrical plug connector comprising:
a body having a cavity and at least one wire separator positioned between conductive members;
an electrical connection portion on the body;
a wire locking mechanism having a plurality of wire receiving regions each separated by the wire separator and having a spring biased receiving arm;
wherein the spring biased receiving arm is pivotable to allow insertion of a wire therein and prevents insertion when the spring biased receiving arm is not biased; and
electrically connecting the electrical connection portion and the wire;
wherein the spring biased receiving arm compresses the wire once inserted between a conductive member and the spring biased receiving arm.
2. The electrical plug connector of claim 1 wherein each of the spring biased receiving arms further comprises a terminating end with a curved slot.
3. The electrical plug connector of claim 1 wherein the spring biased receiving arm is pivoted upwards to allow insertion of the wire.
4. The electrical plug connector of claim 1 wherein each of the spring biased receiving arms are electrically connected to one of the conductive members.
