This is concerned with a so-called screw-on electrical connector and a method or procedure of making it whereby the manufacturing procedure or process is greatly simplified and the resultant connector is of a quality and efficiency generally at least equal to conventional screw-on connectors.
A screw-on electrical connector for connecting the stripped ends of electrical wires has a shell made of stiffly flexible plastic material. A generally central bore extends from an open end of the shell to a closed end which is closed by an integral end wall. A generally tapered wire coil lies in the bore and engages an outer area on the inner surface of the bore, adjacent its open end. A radial undercut is formed on the inner surface of the bore near the end wall. The undercut projects into the bore to support the coil and to strengthen the shell.

Abstract:
A device for holding an electric fuse assembly having a fuse carried by a first end fuse holder and a second end fuse holder. The assembly includes a first housing section having a cavity formed therein for receiving the first end fuse holder and a second housing section having a cavity formed therein for receiving the second end fuse holder. An end of the second housing section is adapted to be separably coupled with an end of the first housing section by placing an interior surface at the end of the first housing section into overlapping engagement with an exterior surface of the second end fuse holder and an interior surface of the second end fuse holder into overlapping engagement with an exterior surface at the end of the first housing section. Such a coupling functions to provide a moisture resistant seal. Respective surfaces of the first end fuse holder and the second end fuse holder may also be placed into overlapping engagement with each other when the first housing section and the second housing section are placed into engagement. At least one of the first and second housing sections may also be adapted to latch to the first and second fuse holders, respectively.
