DEFINITION

Classification: 439/810

Screw axis intersects conductor axis (e.g.., set screw):

(under subclass 801) Electrical connector wherein the longitudinal axis of the male member of the mating male and female screw-threaded securing means carried by the connector intersects the longitudinal axis of the conductor secured by the connector, whereby the male screw-threaded member either directly or through a follower exerts the clamping pressure on the conductor.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

771, for a battery post clamp-type connector in which the axis of a male screw-threaded securing member intersects the battery post axis.

793, for a connector in which a single operator of the screw type joins plural conductors parallel to one another and wherein the longitudinal axis of the screw operator intersects the longitudinal axes of the joined conductors.

800, for a connector comprising a circumferentially tensioned flexible strap or band for securing an enclosed conductor thereto and in which a tensioning screw intersects the longitudinal axis of the encircled conductor.
