Abstract

A connector terminus for an elongated member consisting of a pair of spaced apart generally parallel wires, said terminus being formed entirely of the wires themselves and consisting of a loop formed in each of the wires in spaced relation from its end, the loops being coaxial transversely of said member for receiving a retainer pin to complete an actual connection, the extreme end portion of each wire being looped around the side of its standing portion distal from the other wire and extended toward and connected to the other wire to form lever arms resisting any force tending to pull the wires free of the retainer pin.
