Patent number: 8246095Abstract: A cable clasp comprises a tail including an engagement face. The cable clasp further comprises a head including a handle that connects to the tail and defines a mouth opening into which the tail is movable. The cable clasp is biased towards a closed-loop position in which at least a portion of the tail is disposed in the mouth opening. The head further includes a lock having a catch engageable with the engagement face in a lock position to: 1) prevent motion of the tail relative to the head in a first direction, and 2) permit motion of the tail relative to the head in a second direction opposite the first direction by sliding the catch over the engagement face. The catch and the engagement face are also disengageable in a release position to permit motion of the tail relative to the head in both the first and second directions.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Actuant CorporationInventors: Patrick J.

Patent number: 7789695Abstract: The present invention provides an insulation displacement connector that is suitable for the tool-less connection of wires of various gages. The combination of channels having a reduction in effective diameter and blades having various gaps restricts the insertion of the wires such that an appropriately-sized pair of blades can pierce the insulation to contact the metallic core of each wire. Because of this configuration, the wire connector does not require excessive force to bite down on the wires. Because a large force is not required, the insulation displacement connector can be finger operated and no separate tool is necessary.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Actuant CorporationInventor: Patrick J. Radle
