Patent attributes
A connector for affixing cables within an electrical box has a body with an insertion end and an opposing receiving end. The insertion end bears outwardly-sloping legs resembling leaf springs, with each leg bearing a channel, so that an electrical box wall may slide over the insertion end with the legs flexing inwardly until the electrical box wall snaps into the channels. The receiving end bears prongs which slope inwardly into an inner body passage, with the prongs also resembling leaf springs, so that the prongs flex outwardly as a cable is inserted into the passage, but at the same time they resiliently flex inwardly to grasp the cable. The body may be formed of a piece of sheet material cut to define a series of petal-like body sections surrounding the insertion end, with the body sections then being bent about the insertion end to define a generally cylindrical body.
