Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A lead wire assembly comprising a carrier strip extending along the assembly with a number of wire-securing means extending to one side of the strip at regular intervals therealong, and a plurality of parallel insulated lead wires arranged in side-byside relation along the length of the strip and extending generally perpendicular to the strip and across the strip with each lead wire associated with a wire-securing means, each wiresecuring means including an insulation crimp barrel secured to one end of a lead wire and an open wire crimp barrel with a bared lead wire conductor disposed in the wire crimp barrel and contact means on the other ends of said wires located on the opposite side of said strip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A lead wire assembly comprising a carrier strip extending along the assembly with a number of wire-securing means extending to one side of the strip at regular intervals therealong, and a plurality of parallel insulated lead wires arranged in side-byside relation along the length of the strip and extending generally perpendicular to the strip and across the strip with each lead wire associated with a wire-securing means, each wiresecuring means including an insulation crimp barrel secured to one end of a lead wire and an open wire crimp barrel with a bared lead wire conductor disposed in the wire crimp barrel and contact means on the other ends of said wires located on the opposite side of said strip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
A lead wire assembly as in claim 1 wherein said lead wires include a number of like wire groups positioned serially along the length of the assembly with each group made up of a number of lead wires having different lengths arranged in a predetermined sequence according to length.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
106 words
A terminal carrier assembly comprised of a carrier strip having pairs of opposed terminals extending from opposite sides of the strip at regular intervals along the length thereof, each pair of terminals including a first terminal on one side of the strip and a second splice terminal on the second side of the strip, severable connections between each terminal and the strip, the first terminal comprising contact means and a crimp member for forming an electrical connection with contact wire, and the splice terminal comprising a splice barrel and an insulation crimp barrel with the insulation crimp barrel located between the splice barrel and the strip.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
106 words
A terminal carrier assembly comprised of a carrier strip having pairs of opposed terminals extending from opposite sides of the strip at regular intervals along the length thereof, each pair of terminals including a first terminal on one side of the strip and a second splice terminal on the second side of the strip, severable connections between each terminal and the strip, the first terminal comprising contact means and a crimp member for forming an electrical connection with contact wire, and the splice terminal comprising a splice barrel and an insulation crimp barrel with the insulation crimp barrel located between the splice barrel and the strip.
