ABSTRACT:
An interconnecting terminator bracket member and a resilient ring-shaped sleeve member are provided with a fastening means for releasably snap-locking the sleeve onto an electrical terminator for electrical cables without a need for nuts, bolts, screws, washers, and other conventional-type fastener hardware at the sleeve. The fastener means comprises two resiliently loaded spaced elements which project from an opening in the sleeve and a detent means which is formed within the bracket. The opening enables the two spaced elements to be squeezed or compressed towards one another. The detent means is uniquely configured to maintain the elements in a compressed state at the start of insertion, momentarily release the two compressed elements from compression forces exerted thereon during insertion, and completely enclose the elements when in the compressed state once insertion is complete. The fastener means is operated by inserting the elements when in the compressed state within confines of the detent means. During insertion, the elements are momentarily freed from the compression forces exerted thereon and are enabled to spring into abutting engagement within the enclosing confines of the detent means to effect their capture as well as to effect releasable snap-locking of the sleeve about the terminator when the latter is seated therein.
