LOCKS IN PLACE ... MUST TURN TO SEPARATE
This illustration shows an Ever-Lok connector completely assembled, ready for use. When
Ever-Lok is connected, it is locked and cannot come apart unless it is unlocked by hand.
To unlock, it is necessary to grasp the plug firmly and give it a short reverse twist to
bring the buttons "B" back out of positions "A" to where they will pull out of the grooves
"C". Outer shoulders are knurled to facilitate this action, but the lock is positive and
the plug cannot be withdrawn without first giving it this reverse twist.
Automatic Locking-Automatic locking feature makes the plug casing mechanically fast to the receptacle or connector and eliminates strains from the electrical contacts.
Positive Grounding-Casings are positively grounded by means of phosphor bronze ground straps made integral with the ground poles. Equipment grounding is secured by separate set of contacts, which "make" first and "break" last (as required by Underwriters' Laboratories).
Dust-Proof-On clamp type plugs and connectors a thick sponge-rubber washer is provided in each cap, to be forced over the cord. This serves as a bushing and also as a shield to exclude metal particles, dust, etc., from interiors of plugs and connectors.
Bushing type plugs and connectors are furnished with a gland nut and neoprene cord-bushing gland to exclude dust and moisture. A formed friction washer is also provided to facilitate tightening of the gland nut.
Receptacle covers are sealed to the boxes by gaskets and have hinged flaps, which are gasket-lined and equipped with strong springs to keep them closed and dust-tight.
Steel-Clad-Plugs and connectors are entirely steel-clad; plated. Plugs have encased locking spring in machine assembled non-separable housings.
Cord Grip-Plugs and connectors are provided with adjustable cord grips preventing strains on connections.
Contacts-Contacts are precision made, self-wiping and self-aligning.
Unit Assembly-Contacts and terminals are permanently assembled in arc-resisting composition body permitting removal of interior only as a unit for wiring. All connections are entirely enclosed, thus obviating accidental short circuits and tampering by inexperienced persons.
Caps Lined - Shell caps are fibre-lined to prevent stray wire ends touching the shell.
Interiors - All interiors, molded arc-resisting composition.
