DEFINITION

Classification: 439/860

Comprising conductor-encircling resilient wire loop or comprising slotted or apertured resilient plate:

(under subclass 816) Electrical connector either (a) comprising a conducting body formed from a length of resilient wirelike material which has been bent upon itself to form a generally unbroken loop, there being interior surfaces or edges of the loop resiliently urged toward one another to grip or grasp a contact or conductor received within the interior of the loop; or (b) comprising a generally flat sheetlike conducting body having surfaces or edges resiliently urged toward one another to grip or grasp a contact or conductor therebetween, the body having either a hole therethrough or an opening extending inwardly from an edge thereof for receiving the contact or conductor to be resiliently secured thereby.
