Appl. No.:

5/548523

Inventors:

Robert L. Schultz - Tecumseh MI

International Classification:

H02G 302

US Classification:

174 72R

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for wiring a building structure including a factory-assembled wiring harness having a trunk cable portion and a plurality of branch cable portions, each branch cable portion having an electrical terminal device, such as a switch or outlet, permanently electrically secured to the end thereof. Installation is facilitated by individually packaging the electrical terminal devices and a portion of the branch cable secured thereto in individual plastic bags, and wrapping the entire harness in an elongate plastic envelope which is then rolled up from one end to the other. In the preferred example, the wiring harness is placed on a grid-like ceiling module and unrolled longitudinally from one end to the other. The envelope is opened and the individual terminal devices are extended outwardly therefrom and tacked in place and left hanging around the outside of the ceiling module. After the ceiling module is disposed on the walls, the electrical terminal device packages are opened to allow the devices to fall to their full vertical extension and secured in place.

Abstract:

An electrical connector device comprising one or more conductive metal connector elements and a two part insulator block having one or more parallel, longitudinal passages to accommodate therein the connector elements. Each connector has crimping ears on one end and a tubular barrel with locking barbs on the other end so as to permit one wire to be mechanically crimped into position and the other wire to be simply plugged in without use of any additional add-on device. The subject device is especially adapted for mounting on a circuit breaker panel so as to permit the individual circuit breakers to be prewired to individual connector devices. This permits actual wiring of the circuit breaker box to the external cables by a simple and secure plug-in operation.
