Abstract

An improved connector assembly that provides stabilization of a compression member and the junction between two body parts of the connector by securing a compression member between the two body parts with multiple posts extending from each body part and providing a stopper at a union point of the body parts.

Claims

1. A clip, comprising:

a first body portion;

a second body portion;

a compression unit associated with the first body portion and the second body portion; and

a plurality of posts extending from an inner face of the first body portion and an inner face of the second body portion.

2. The clip of claim 1, further comprising:

a tab associated with one of the first body part and the second body part, and

a slot associated with the other of the first body part and the second body part for receiving the tab.

3. The clip of claim 1, wherein the post has a diameter substantially equal to an inner diameter of the compression unit.

4. The clip of claim 1, wherein the post has a perimeter length substantially equal to an inner perimeter length of the compression unit.

5. The clip of claim 1, wherein the post has a diameter substantially equal to an outer diameter of the compression unit.

6. The clip of claim 1, wherein the post has a perimeter length substantially equal to an outer perimeter length of the compression unit.

7. The clip of claim 1, further comprising a conductive platform for associating a conductor with the clip.

8. The clip of claim 2, wherein the tab received by the slot is folded to form a stopper interlocking the first body portion and the second body portion.

9. A clip, comprising:

a first body portion;

a second body portion;

a compression unit having a first end and a second end;

a first post extending from an inner face of the first body portion; and

a second post extending from an inner face of the second body portion,

wherein the first end of the compression unit receives the first post and the second end of the compression unit receives the second post.

10. The clip of claim 9, further comprising:

a tab associated with one of the first body part and the second body part, and

a slot associated with the other of the first body part and the second body part for receiving the tab.

11. The clip of claim 9, wherein the first post and the second post have a diameter substantially equal to an inner diameter of the compression unit.

12. The clip of claim 9, wherein the first post and the second post have a perimeter length substantially equal to an inner perimeter length of the compression unit.

13. The clip of claim 9, further comprising a conductive platform for associating a conductor with the clip.

14. The clip of claim 10, wherein the tab received by the slot is folded to form a stopper interlocking the first body portion and the second body portion.

15. A clip, comprising:

a first body portion;

a second body portion;

a compression unit having a first end and a second end;

a first post extending from an inner face of the first body portion; and

a second post extending from an inner face of the second body portion,

wherein the first post receives the first end of the compression unit and the second post receives the second end of the compression unit.

16. The clip of claim 15, further comprising:

a tab associated with one of the first body portion and the second body portion, and

a slot associated with the other of the first body portion and the second body portion for receiving the tab.

17. The clip of claim 15, wherein the first post and the second post have a diameter substantially equal to an outer diameter of the compression unit.

18. The clip of claim 15, wherein the first post and the second post have a perimeter length substantially equal to an out perimeter length of the compression unit.

19. The clip of claim 15, further comprising a conductive platform for associating a conductor with the clip.

20. The clip of claim 16, wherein the tab received by the slot is folded to form a stopper interlocking the first body portion and the second body portion.
