ABSTRACT:
A power door loop for providing an electrical connection between a pivoting door and a wall. The door loop includes one or more wires, a flexible armored cable, and housings at each end of the cable. Each housing has a circular bottom end and a perpendicular cylindrical wall. The cable connects into the cylindrical wall. A sleeve having snap latches projects from the bottom end. The wires pass into one sleeve, make a right angle bend in the housing, pass through the cable, make a right angle bend in the other housing, and pass out of the other sleeve. For installation, holes are made in the outer layer of the wall and door for routing or fishing the wires to their destinations. The bottom end of the housing is positioned over the outer surface layer of the door or wall with the sleeve juxtaposed against the hole and the sleeve and wires are inserted through the hole. The snap latches allow the sleeve to slide through the hole and then spring into a retaining position when the sleeve is past the lip of the hole for catching against the underside of the outer layer of the door or wall.
