DEFINITION

Classification: 439/778

Externally threaded, bifurcated bolt for joining conductors having like cross-sectional shape:

(under subclass 775) Electrical connector comprising a boltlike member having a shank provided with an externally

screw-threaded surface and having a slot extending longitudinally through the shank portion thereof; the slot being open at one end of the shank and terminating near its opposite end in a conductor clamping seat so that the slot provides the bolt with an opposed pair of spaced-apart legs between which wire-type conductors are adapted to be transversely received and clamped for electrical interconnection therebetween; and rotatably mounted upon the outer screw-threaded surfaces of the spaced-apart legs is an interiorly screw-thread nut which, when rotated to longitudinally move it toward the closed end of the slot, provides the clamping pressure upon wire conductors located transversely within the slot.
