Patent ID: 8753140

Claim:
A connector for electroluminescent cables comprising: a first shell having an interior; a separating surface positioned in said interior; a first conductive surface positioned in said interior of said first shell on one side of said separating surface; a second conductive surface positioned in said interior of said first shell on an opposite side of said separating surface, said second conductive surface comprising: a clip positioned in said interior of said first shell; a plate positioned in said interior of said first shell; and a conductor extending in electrical connection between said clip and said plate, a second shell being movable between an open position and a closed position with respect to said interior of said first shell, said second shell having a planar abutment surface extending so as to be positioned adjacent said plate when said first and second shells are in the closed position so as to urge said filament of the electroluminescent cable against said plate; and a second shell cooperative with said first shell so as to extend over said interior of said first shell.
