Patent ID: 7785122

Claim:
A clip cord power connector, comprising: an elongated, substantially U-shaped body having opposing ends, the body being formed from an electrically nonconductive, flexible material, the opposing ends being compressible towards each other and resiliently biased to regain the U-shape when a force compressing the U-shape is removed, the U-shaped body having an inner surface and a substantially continuous outer surface; an electrically conductive contact extending along the outer surface of the U-shaped body and extending from each of the opposing ends of the U-shaped body, each of the contacts terminating in an exposed L-shaped prong; a lug electrically connected to each of the contacts, the lugs and the contacts at the opposing ends being electrically separated from each other by the electrically nonconductive body, the lugs being adapted for attachment to a two-conductor power cable, each of the conductors being connected to a separate one of the lugs; and a heat shrink tubing disposed over the opposing ends of the U-shaped body, thereby encasing the connection of the contacts to the U-shaped body, whereby the opposing ends of the U-shaped body are compressible in order to hook the L-shaped contacts to a device to be powered, the resilience of the U-shaped body maintaining the contacts in electrical connection with the device.
