Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An electrical connector is disclosed which may be installed on most commonly-available household electrical cords without tools and with no need to either slit or strip the cords. An internal channel in the connector is designed so that the various sizes of cords are compressed and distorted by the force of closing of the connector housing with the result that the conductor elements of the cord are aligned with piercing prongs despite variations in the size and spacing of the conductor elements and insulation thickness.
