Patent number: 7566250Abstract: A wire grounding assembly including a unitary bidirectional connector having a first threaded shaft, a second threaded shaft, and a torque-receiving portion that is radially oriented about the major axis of the unitary bidirectional connector and that has a first radial surface and an opposing second radial surface. The first threaded shaft and the second threaded shaft project, respectively, from the first radial surface and the second radial surface, and are aligned such that their respective major axes coincide with the major axis. The first threaded shaft has an axial ground wire slot configured to receive a ground wire therein, and the second threaded shaft has a base. The unitary bidirectional connector has an annular sharp projection that projects beyond the plane of the second radial surface, encircling the base, and is configured to penetrate a non-conductive surface of a ground upon application of sufficient torque to the torque-receiving portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventor: Robert Scott Good

Patent number: 6234838Abstract: An improved structure for a coaxial cable connector is disclosed. The surface consists of a connector body, an axle collar, a stem disposed co-axially within the axle collar, and a nut disposed rotatably around the stem. The nut includes an annular end and a hexagonal body. The annular end has a threaded bore hole which is used for accepting a threaded interface connector. An annular groove is formed along the inner surface of the threaded bore hole; while another annular groove is formed around the outer surface of the threaded interface connector, both for filling a sealing element thereinto thereby providing a 360 degrees annular moisture proof hermetic structure between the interface connector and the nut.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Inventor: Shen-Chia Wong

Patent number: 5236377Abstract: An electrical wire connector of the type having a bifurcate bolt has a base member and two opposed prongs. The prongs are spaced apart to define a wire receiving channel therebetween. A nut is threadable onto the bolt about the prongs, the nut cooperates with a slide to engage a first respective wire and to urge the wire and other wires into electrical engagement with each other. The bolt has resilient portions which supply a force which acts upon the wires. The force supplied by the resilient portions is of sufficient magnitude to ensure that the wires will be maintained in electrical engagement even when the split bolt is exposed to harsh environments.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1992Date of Patent: August 17, 1993Assignee: AMP IncorporatedInventor: Kazuhiro Goto

Patent number: 5129844Abstract: An electrical wire connector has a bifurcated bolt having opposed prongs coextending spaced from each other defining a wire-receiving channel therebetween. A nut is threaded onto the bolt until an insert carried by the nut is pressed tightly against one of the two wires disposed along the channel, to clamp the wires tightly against the bottom of the channel and electrically interconnect the wires. The nut has an internally threaded lower section within which a body section of the insert is disposed, and an upper section joined to the lower section at a frangible section adapted to break upon sufficient torque being applied to the nut by a tool, thus providing a torque limit and a visual indication of full assured interconnection.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1992Date of Patent: July 14, 1992Assignee: AMP IncorporatedInventors: Kazuhiro Goto, Gino Menechella, Janusz Szyndlar
