  • Patent number: 11682850
    Abstract: An electric connector terminal assembly which allows numerous different terminal connector ends and wire diameters to be connected to a single size and type crimp cylinder using an rolled metal strip insert. Preferably, the metal strip is made of copper, and preferably the copper strip is coated with tin. The metal strip is then formed into a cylinder for insertion to the crimp cylinder. A method for connecting a crimp terminal to an electric wire is also disclosed. The method requires cutting a metal strip to form a plurality of parallel compliant members (e.g., fingers) connected to a base, rolling the cut strip to form a cylindrical insert, positioning the insert within a crimp cylinder of an electric connector with the fingers extending toward the mating end, inserting an electric wire within the cylindrical insert, and crimping the crimp cylinder to secure the electric wire within the cylindrical insert and crimp cylinder.

  • Patent number: 10763652
    Abstract: A cable management system having a base section and a cap section with an attachment mechanism to connect the cap to the base. The base of the cable management system includes opposing side projections to form a C-shaped cross-section with an opening between ends of the side projections, while the cap is crescent-shaped and configured to cover the opening when attached to the base. The attachment mechanism is fixed to an interior surface of the base to form two distinct channels. The cap is removable to allow addition, removal and/or adjustment of cords and cables.
