专利汇可以提供Electrical junction box专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A molded plastic junction box having a hinged outer panel covering one end of the box with a removable inner panel that rests upon a peripheral ledge around the open end of the box underneath the hinged outer panel. A slot is formed in the inner panel near the hinged end of the outer panel for receiving three insulated conductors in side-by-side relation. Three sharp prongs are positioned within the slot in alignment with a corresponding one of the insulated conductors. When the hinged outer panel is closed, it presses the insulated conductors against the prongs and causes the prongs to pierce the insulation and make contact with the electrically conducting wires therewithin. Electrical connectors are attached to the prongs to receive conductors for coupling the prongs to electrical components within the box. The outer panel is secured to the box in its closed position by means of a nonlocking latch which can be easily opened for inspection or repair purposes.,下面是Electrical junction box专利的具体信息内容。

1. A junction box comprising a front panel, a plurality of edge panels joined to the periphery of said front panel and projecting transversely therefrom, a rear panel hinged at one end to one of said edge panels, latch means attached to the other end of said rear panel, latch engaging means attached to the opposing edge panel receiving said latch means, an inner panel disposed within said junction box adjacent to said rear panel, ledge means formed in said edge panels supporting said inner panel adjacent to said rear panel, a slot formed in said inner panel on the surface thereof adjacent to said rear panel, said slot extending transversely across said inner panel and adapted to receive an insulated electrical conductor, at least one sharp prong attached to said inner panel within said slot and projecting outwardly toward said rear panel, said sharp prong being made of an eLectrically conductive material and being positioned to extend into and be aligned with the electrically conductive portion of an insulated electrical conductor when disposed within said slot, the depth of said slot being approximately equal to the thickness of said electrical conductor, and said inner panel being positioned immediately adjacent to said rear panel, whereby the closing of said hinged rear panel will force said electrical conductor against said sharp prong and cause the prong to pierce the insulation and make contact with the electrically conductive material therewithin.
2. The junction box of claim 1 and further comprising means for mounting at least one electrical component within said junction box.
3. The junction box of claim 2 and further comprising an electrical connector element attached to said sharp prong and projecting below the inner surface of said inner panel.
4. The junction box of claim 3 wherein said slot is adapted to receive a plurality of insulated electrical conductors which are positioned in said slot in side-by-side relationship, and further comprising a plurality of sharp prongs attached to said inner panel within said slot and projecting upwardly therefrom, said sharp prongs being made of an electrically conductive material and being positioned to be aligned with the electrically conductive portion of a corresponding one of said insulated electrical conductors, and a plurality of electrical connector elements each attached to a corresponding one of said sharp prongs and projecting below the inner surface of said inner panel.
5. The junction box of claim 4 wherein said slot is located near the end of said inner panel adjacent to the hinged end of said rear panel.
6. The junction box of claim 5 and further comprising recesses formed in the upper edges of the edge panels adjacent to the ends of said slot.
7. The junction box of claim 6 and further comprising an opening formed in the end of said inner panel adjacent to said latch means to permit the latch means to pass through said inner panel to engage said latch engaging means.
8. The junction box of claim 7 in which the peripheral dimensions of said inner panel are larger than the inside peripheral dimensions of said edge panels and smaller than the outside peripheral dimensions thereof, and wherein said ledge means comprises a peripheral recess in the inner peripheral edges of said edge panels.
9. The junction box of claim 8 wherein the end of said inner panel adjacent to the hinged end of said rear panel is disposed underneath the hinge thereof.
10. The junction box of claim 9 in which the depth of said peripheral recess in said edge panels is approximately equal to the thickness of said inner panel and wherein said hinged rear panel rests upon the peripheral edge of said edge panels in its closed position.
