Abstract

The present invention relates to a wire connector for wire being inserted along an inserting direction, comprising: a cover, a conductor and a plurality of shift levers. The cover has a plurality of inserting holes along the inserting direction and a receiving space. The conductor is assembled in the receiving space, and comprising a conductive portion contacts the wire and a plurality of elastic portions that are located in an extended position of inserting holes respectively. The shift levers are pivoted on the cover and swing between a first position which non-contact the elastic portion and a second position which presses the elastic portion. Wherein a first fixed device is formed in the first position for fixing the shift levers, and a second fixed device is formed in the second position for fixing the shift levers. So that the fixed function of the shift levers will be strengthened in the first and second position.

Claims (14)

1. A wire connector for a plurality of wires being inserted along an inserting direction, comprising:

a cover, having a plurality of inserting holes along the inserting direction and a receiving space in communication with the plurality of inserting holes;

a conductor in the receiving space of the cover and comprising a conductive portion that contacts the wires and a plurality of elastic portions that are located in an extended position of each inserting hole, respectively, so that the wire is clamped by the conductive portion and the elastic portion after being inserted into an interior of the cover; and

a plurality of shift levers, being pivoted on the cover, and swinging between a first position in which the shift levers do not contact the elastic portion and a second position in which the plurality of shift levers press the elastic portion, causing a deformation of the elastic portion;

wherein the wire connector further comprises:

a first fastening device for fastening the shift levers in the first position; and

a second fastening device for fastening the shift levers in the second position.

2. The wire connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first fastening device comprises a first block being formed with one of the shift levers and the cover, and a first groove being formed with another of the shift levers and the cover for corresponding the position of the first block.

3. The wire connector claimed as claim 1 , wherein the second fastening device is formed with the group consisting of both of the shift levers and the cover, both of the shift levers and the elastic portions, and triple of the shifts, the cover and the elastic portions.

4. The wire connector claimed as claim 3 , wherein the second fastening device comprises a plurality of shift bars extending from the opposite sides of the shift levers and a plurality of slots are dividedly formed on the cover for corresponding the position of the shift bars.

5. The wire connector claimed as claim 3 , wherein the second fastening device comprises a second block being formed with one of the shift levers and the cover and a second groove being formed with another of the shift levers and the cover for corresponding with the position of the second block.

6. The wire connector claimed as claim 5 , wherein the second fastening device comprises a third block being formed with the elastic portion and a pressure portion being formed the shift lever for corresponding with the position of the third block.

7. The wire connector claimed as claim 5 , wherein the second fastening device comprises a plurality of shift bars are extending from the opposite sides of the shift levers and a plurality of slots are dividedly formed on the cover for corresponding the position of the shift bars.

8. The wire connector claimed as claim 7 , wherein the second fastening device comprises a third block being formed with the elastic portion and a pressure portion being formed with the shift lever for corresponding the position of the third block.
