Abstract

Abstract A connection tab (2, 2′) for making contact with an electric wire (3) at a wire contact, having a connecting end remote therefrom, and being offset from the wire contact in a direction longitudinal of and/or perpendicular to the electric wire (3). A junction device including a wiring board (1) having a connection area (7) and one or more electric wires (3) to be connected. The wires (3) are located beneath the wiring board (1) and there is also provided one or more of the connection tabs (2, 2′). The junction device may have a plurality of wiring boards (1) and the invention provides a very compact means for making a plurality of complex connections.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 129 words
A multiple junction device for making an electrical contact having a plurality of wired electrical cir­cuit board and connection tabs with a connecting end portion for making a mating engagement with another electrical connection means and a wire contact end portion where a throat is provided for making direct contact with wire conductor through insulation of the wire, characterized in: that the wire contact end portion 2b of the connec­tion tab 2 in an upper wiring board 1 is shifted either in a wire path direction X or the direction Y which is perpendicular to X in a way that the con­necting end portion 2a of the connection tab 2 in an adjacent lower wiring board 6 is free from locatio­nal interaction of said wire contact end portion 2b.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 129 words
A multiple junction device for making an electrical contact having a plurality of wired electrical cir­cuit board and connection tabs with a connecting end portion for making a mating engagement with another electrical connection means and a wire contact end portion where a throat is provided for making direct contact with wire conductor through insulation of the wire, characterized in: that the wire contact end portion 2b of the connec­tion tab 2 in an upper wiring board 1 is shifted either in a wire path direction X or the direction Y which is perpendicular to X in a way that the con­necting end portion 2a of the connection tab 2 in an adjacent lower wiring board 6 is free from locatio­nal interaction of said wire contact end portion 2b.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
A multiple junction device of claim 1 in which the wire contact end portion 2b of the connection tab 2 in an upper wiring board is maintained in a slit 8 which is provided in an insulation board 9 of the adjacent lower wiring board 6.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 42 words
A multiple junction device of claim 1 or 2 in which the wire contact end portion of the connection tab has a throat which is enable to make direct contact with conductor of electric wire through the insula­tion of the wire used.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
A multiple junction device of claim 1 or 2 or 3 in which the electric circuit is formed by wiring an insulated electric wire having single copper con­ductor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
A multiple junction device of claim 1 or 2 or 3 in which the electric circuit is formed by wiring an insulated electric wire having compressed twisted copper conductors.
