ABSTRACT:
A wire insertion hand tool for the ready insertion of wires, or other strand-like materials, within flexible, elongated, longitudinally-slotted wire-containing ducts, such as a flexible electrical conduit, is described. The hand tool comprises a handle region, an elongated shank region, and a semi-circular, yoke-like, head region. The elongated shank region has smooth contours and terminates in an integral head region. The integral head region has two tine-like outward projections comprising a semi-circular, yoke-like, configuration, also having smooth contours. In operation, single or multiple strands of wire, or a similar strand-like material, are captured within the confines of the yoke-like head region, and are readily inserted at any desired point along the length of a flexible, elongated slotted duct. There is no need for a specific starting or stopping insertion point, in order to perform the wire insertion. The wire insertion hand tool may also be moved in either a forward direction, i.e., pushed, or in a backward direction, i.e., pulled, relative to the position of the operator. The wire insertion hand tool is highly versatile, and can also be employed with a plurality of ducts, each having different wiring requirements, since the tool is not designed to be physically coupled to a single bulk source of wires. The wire insertion hand tool is particularly well-suited for wiring flexible, elongated electrical conduit used in the electrical systems of motor-vehicles, or the like.
