Abstract:
An electric cord connector kit for electrically connecting two electric cords each having a conducting wire coated by a sheath, wherein said electric cord connector kit comprises:a connector, comprising a fastening member having two spaced apart fastening arms adapted for receiving said two electric cords therebetween, an insulating layer which is made of non-conductive material enveloping said fastening member therein, and a plurality of protuberances integrally and spaced projected from inner sides of said fastening arms of said fastening member and protruded through said insulating layer; and a pinching device, which receives and holds said connector in position, compressing said connector until said protuberances of said two fastening arms are penetrated through said sheaths of said electric cords so as to electrically connect said two conducting wires of said electric cords via said fastening member, wherein said pinching device comprises a main body and an operation body pivotally connected to said main body, said main body having a first end, an opposed second end, an elongated feeding slot extended from said first end towards said second end to define a discharge opening at said first end, a feeding opening communicating said feeding slot with outside for feeding said connector into said feeding slot, an operating slot traversely provided at said discharge opening for communicating a front end of said feeding slot with outside, said operating body comprising a pressing head extended to said discharge opening through said operating slot and an operation handle arranged to drive said pressing head slidably entering into said feeding slot, wherein said feeding slot is adapted to receive said connector through said feeding opening in a slidably movable manner and said connector is arranged to position at said discharge opening in such a manner that said pressing head of said operation body is driven to bias against one of said fastening arms of said fastening member to compress said connector, for forcing said protuberances to penetrate through said sheaths of said electric cords.
