Title:
THREE-WAY CONNECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004075348
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A three-way electrical power and control connector for use in industrial environments, particularly, in assembly line and conveyor line type structures. The three-way connector is placed along various points in a main power or control line where a power or control device is located, to provide a drop line from the main line to the power or control device. The three-way connector includes three receptacles, two of which are used to connect portions of the main line. The third receptacle is used for the drop line which connects to the power or control device. The three-way connector allows the main line to be made up of several interconnected lines or cord sets, so that the power or control architecture can be easily customized to meet the user's needs, and can be easily modified if the user's needs change.
