WIRE CONNECTING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wire clamp capable of operating independently which provides different wire clamping techniques. SOLUTION: A terminal wire block includes a spring clamp and a screw clamp and by using one or both clamps, holds an electric wire at a regular position. The spring clamp includes a cage and a spring, and presses the wire to one of walls of the cage. The screw clamp includes a fastener with an outside screw such as a screw and holds the wire at a regular position when the fastener is screwed tightly. One or both of the spring clamp and screw clamp can operate independently from the other clamps. When they operate together, perfectness and safety of the contact are reinforced by the spring clamp and the screw clamp. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
