发明名称 Electrical wire and box connector
摘要 An electrical wire and box connector (10) removably insertable into an opening of a standard electrical box functioning to hold electrical wire therein. The electrical wire and box connector (10) having a housing cylinder (12) which has a housing cylinder front (12F) connected to a housing cylinder rear (12R) by a housing cylinder middle (12M) having a housing cylinder middle front valley (12MF) and a housing cylinder middle center ridge (12MC) which is positioned adjacent to a rear of the housing cylinder middle front valley (12MF). The housing cylinder middle front valley (12MF) has a diameter similar to a diameter of the opening in the electrical box. The housing cylinder middle center ridge (12MC) has a diameter larger than to the diameter of the opening in the electrical box. The electrical wire and box connector (10) further has a wire holder (14) movably mounted within the housing cylinder (12). The wire holder (14) has a wire holder plate (14A) attached to an inside surface of the housing cylinder middle (12M) by a wire holder stem (14B). The wire holder plate (14A) further has a wire holder channel (14C) therein. An opening formed between the wire holder channel (14C) and the inside surface of the housing cylinder middle (12M) is smaller than the electrical wire. A user inserts the electrical wire into the housing cylinder (12) through the wire holder channel (14C) and pushes the electrical wire and box connector (10) into the opening of the electrical box. The housing cylinder middle front valley (12MF) functions to engage an outer periphery of the opening of the electrical box. The housing cylinder middle center ridge (12MC) functions as a stopper to prevent the user from pushing the electrical wire and box connector (10) completely through the opening of the electrical box.
