Abstract:
A splice for a severed electrical line cord containing multiple electric conductors severed into two sections with open ends having exposed electric conductors, said splice comprisinga hollow housing including a top cover connected to a bottom housing section by a hinge extending along a common edge therebetween,said housing having therein a terminal block with two spaced, parallel rows of screw connectors on a top, flat surface thereof, and said block having imbedded conductive plates connecting corresponding screw connectors in said spaced rows,a pair of clamps spaced from and on opposite sides of said terminal block, each clamp restraining respective sections of said severed electrical line cord from movement within said housing, said sections being aligned with each other and open ends facing each other, said rows of screw connectors being at right angles to the alignment of said sections,said electrical conductors extending from said open ends of said sections and each conductor connected to one of said screw connectors on said terminal block so that corresponding conductors in each electrical wire cord are attached to corresponding screw connectors to provide continuity of said conductors within said electrical line cord through said housing.
