Circuit test clip

Claim 1

Circuit test clip having a pair of oppositely disposed support members pivotally connected to one another by an orthogonally crossing pin, each of said support members having a plurality of conducting elements extending longitudinally from a front to rear end of said support members, said conducting elements being juxtaposed at an interval corresponding to that of arrangement of terminals to be tested, and resilient means coacting with said support members for resiliently urging both of the front ends of the support members toward one another, the improvement wherein: each of said support members is an assembly of an outer plate superposed on an inner plate which is shorter in length than the outer plate; the outer plate having in the area confronting the inner plate a plurality of longitudinal slots juxtaposed at said interval for accommodating each of said conducting elements in each slot; said outer and inner plates respectively having first and second projections extending in a direction in which one support member faces the other support member, each of said projections having holes for insertion of said pin, the inner plate having through-holes for insertion of said first projections on said outer plate; the holes in said first projections being aligned with those in said second projections when the inner plate is superposed on the outer plate; and the positions of the first and second projections on one of said support members being complementary with those of the first and second projections on the other support member.
