Abstract:
Electrical wiring devices that incorporate clamp-type wire terminal connections are described. The electrical wiring devices include for example, single and duplex blade-type electrical receptacles, blade-type locking electrical receptacles, single or multi-pole electrical switches, combination switches and blade-type receptacles, blade-type plugs for electrical cords and blade-type connectors for electrical cords. The electrical wiring devices include a plurality of contact assemblies. Each contact assembly includes a wire terminal and a plunger.

Claim (Index 18):
An electrical wiring device for installation into an electrical box, the electrical wiring device comprising:\n a housing comprising a main body portion having a plurality of cavities, a front cover portion removably secured to a first side of the main body portion, and a rear cover portion removably secured to a second side of the main body portion and having a plurality of wire receiving apertures and a plurality of plunger openings; and a plurality of contact assemblies; wherein one of the plurality of contact assemblies is positioned at least partially within one of the plurality of a cavities and is accessible from one of the plurality of wire receiving apertures and one of the plurality of plunger openings in the rear cover portion; wherein each of the plurality of the contact assemblies comprises:\n a wire terminal comprising a clamp brace secured to a clamp spring, the clamp spring being movable relative to the clamp brace between a closed position where a wire can be clamped between the clamp spring and the clamp brace and an open position where a wire can be inserted through one of the plurality of wire receiving apertures in the rear cover and between the clamp spring and the clamp brace; and \n a plunger positioned within one of the plurality of cavities and extending at least partially through one of the plurality of plunger openings in the rear cover, the plunger being interactive with the clamp spring such that movement of the plunger in a first direction relative to the clamp brace causes the plunger to apply a mechanical load to the clamp spring to cause the clamp spring to move from the closed position to the open position and movement of the plunger in a second direction relative to the clamp brace removes the mechanical load from the clamp spring so that to the clamp spring is biased from the open position to the closed position.
