Abstract: A flexible, hollow electrical connector includes an end barrel portion which receives a second, identical connector, an intermediate portion positionable through a bore in a circuit board and a third contact portion. The contact portion comprises a pair of longitudinal fingers disposed in confronting relationship, each finger having a curved configuration in which the greatest transverse projection is at least as great as the inside diameter of the end barrel portion. Some embodiments may eliminate the intermediate portion and insert the barrel portion in the circuit board.

Abstract: A flexible pin which is used with a tubular hollow member is disclosed herein. The flexible pin is made from a reel of beryllium copper integral parts having the blades or fingers extending from a barrel shaped member having each finger bent toward the other about a first radius and upon each finger being formed to the tangent of a second and shorter radius, conforming the fingers to the second radius until the tips of the fingers approach each other. The transverse projection of the fingers is greater than the barrel diameter.

Abstract: A wire stripper having flat arcuately shaped blades pivotally mounted upon one end of a rotor rotatably mounted on a frame, with their axes of pivot being parallel and spaced relative to the axis of rotation of the rotor and located to cause centrifugal force to urge them to noncutting position. A shiftable sleeve telescopically carried by the rotor bears a cam which moves the blades to cutting position on opposite sides of the axis of the rotor along which the wire is presented by a pair of substantially parallel horizontal clamping arms. These arms are mounted for pivotal movement on the frame about a pair of spaced vertical axes of pivot and have terminal wire gripping portions which are alternately received in a wire-length gauge and an opening in the frame which is entered at the axis of the rotor, to present the desired length of wire to the cutting blades at the very axis of the rotor.
