Patent ID: 8487196

Claim:
An electrical box connector comprising: a connector body having open proximal and distal ends defining a channel through the connector body; a plurality of flexible prongs extending from the distal end of the connector body, each prong comprising a sloped wall on its outer surface; at least one stop wall extending outwardly from the connector body between the sloped walls and the proximal end of the connector body; at least two opposing arms extending inwardly of the connector body, each arm comprising a tooth edge thereon extending toward the center axis of the connector body, wherein the opposing arms and corresponding tooth edges are positioned on the connector body such that upon insertion of a cable through the channel of the connector, the tooth edges of the opposing arms releasably grip the cable to restrict its movement toward the distal or proximal end of the connector body; and at least one release mechanism operably coupled to at least one of the tooth edges such that movement of the release mechanism toward the connector body or in the direction of the distal or proximal end of the connector body moves the at least one of the tooth edges away from the center axis of the connector body to release the cable movement restriction.
