  • Patent number: 4029376
    Abstract: There is disclosed a bridging clip assembly useful for interconnecting a plurality of electrical terminals spaced apart in vertical rows in a terminal connecting block. The bridging assembly comprises a longitudinal supporting means, e.g., a wire or rod, having a plurality of connector clips separably attached thereto at spaced intervals. The connector clips are spaced along the supporting means in the same relationship as the terminals are spaced in the terminal connecting block. The assembly may be used to connect two or more terminals in the connecting block situated in a vertical row by inserting a connector clip over the top of each of the blade-like terminals which it is desired to connect together. If it is desired to connect only certain ones of the terminals in the row, an appropriate number of connector clips may be removed from the supporting means, the ones being removed being those which would be situated above the terminal or terminals in the block which it is not desired to connect.
