ABSTRACT:
A watthour meter socket assembly of the type which engages the blades of a watthour meter. The blades are frictionally held by pairs of spring-loaded conductive jaws, which form the female contacts of the socket assembly. Helper springs are provided to increase the biasing of the jaws. In order to provide a conductive bypass when the meter is removed for servicing or replacement a reciprocable, conductive blade is mounted on a slide mechanism so that it can be wedged between the jaws. The wedging action simultaneously spreads the jaws apart, allowing removal of the meter.
