High voltage electrical connector
First Claim
1. A high voltage electrical connector for connecting two electrical conductors together comprising,a tubular glass insulator for providing high voltage protection,a tubular electrically conductive metal liner positioned in the glass insulator,a metal connector adapted to receive a bare end of an electrical conductor, said metal connector adapted to be releasably engaged in the inside of the metal liner of said electrical connector, including,a resilient metallic face having first and second sides, each side having first and second ends, said ends, when the metal connector is positioned in the inside of the metal liner, resiliently engage and grip the inside of the metal liner,first and second levers having first and second ends being connected to said first and second sides of the face, respectively, whereby when the second ends of the levers are pushed together the sides of the face move together and release from the inside of the metal liner.

Abstract
A high voltage electrical connector having a tubular glass insulator with a metal liner in the insulator. A metal connector connected to a bare end of an electrical conductor is releaseably engaged with the inside of the metal liner. The connector includes a resilient square metallic face having levers extending from opposite sides of the face for bending the face sides towards each other for release from the inside of the tubular member and for engaging and gripping the inside of the liner when the levers are released.
