ENCLOSURE FOR AN ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION IN AN APPLIANCE

摘要

An enclosure for a wire connection includes a base and a cover. The base includes a bottom and a pair of longitudinal sidewalls disposed between the first and second ends. The cover includes a main body and a first wire securing member. According to one aspect, the cover further includes a second wire securing member. In another aspect, the first and second wire securing members are configured to engage first and second wires, respectively, to reduce strain on a connection between the first and second wires. In a further aspect, the first wire securing member is configured to engage the first wire to create a first bend in the first wire that extends into a first opening in the bottom of the base to reduce strain on the connection.
