ABSTRACT:
A cord adapter for retrofitting or adapting a conventional telephone line cord for use with a miniature plug and jack assembly, the cord adapter being of a construction such that no tools are required to install it.
The cord adapter will accommodate from one to six conductors and requires only that the spade terminals on the conductors be bent into a U-shaped configuration prior to installation into the plug portion of the adapter. A slot is molded into the plug body for retaining the line cord holder, which slot also functions as a bending fixture for bending the spade terminals on the ends of the conductors of the line cord. A plastic cover is provided for covering and retaining the connections. The cover furthermore helps retain the telephone line cord. The construction of the plug portion of the cord adapter and the cover is such that the cover can be attached to the plug portion without the need of any tools.
