Sheet metal wire connecting device.

摘要

A sheet metal wire connecting device has a wire receiving slot (42) for receiving a wire (5) and being defined by opposed beams (34). The beams (34) have fixed ends (36,38) and tapered sections between the fixed ends (36,38) and intermediate sections (40) of the beams (34). The tapered sections are angularly inclined towards each other, such that when a wire (5) is inserted into the slot (42), the intermediates sections (40) of the beams (34) are plastically deformed, the remainder of the beams (34), remaining generally below the elastic limit. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
