  • Patent number: 4288657
    Abstract: A twist-on connector for electrical wires and the like comprises a hollow plastic shell having an opening at one end, a generally perpendicular closed end wall at the other end thereof, and one or more wing-like torque applicator ribs extending generally radially outwardly in an oblique angular direction from the external surface of the shell. The torque applicator rib or ribs of such configuration to permit flexing or cushion action to applicator's fingers, or torque limiting means during tool application of connector. The inside surface of the shell is provided with a plurality of longitudinally inwardly extending ribs which function to funnel an insert spring which is threaded into the shell, and to reinforce the body of the shell. The inner end of the spring engages an insert torque applicator stop at the closed end of the shell which transfers the torsional forces applied to the shell body to the outer end of the insert spring.
