- 1. A method of providing a current supply arrangement for a household appliance such as a floor-cleaning apparatus containing a plurality of individual components and having a housing for accommodating the components, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of terminal block arranged in spaced relationship to each other in the housing, each of said terminal blocks having a predetermined number of slotted cavities;
- laying down at least one uninterrupted wire interconnecting selected ones of said slotted cavities;
- then inserting a plurality of wire insulation cutting contacts into corresponding ones of said cavities so as to make electrical and mechanical contact with said wire to define terminals in said cavities;
- cutting out a segment of said wire between at least one selected pair of said terminals so as to electrically disconnect the terminals of said pair from each other; and,
- inserting an electrical component across the terminals of said pair.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said cavities are lined with a lining made of a material suitable for current-conducting parts.
- 3. The method of claim 2, said housing being made of polyamide plastic and said lining being made of NOVODUR plastic.
- 4. The method of claim 1, said housing being a clamshell-type housing.
- 5. A household appliance such as a floor-cleaning apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing having an inside wall surface;
- a plurality of electrical components;
- a plurality of terminals blocks mounted on said wall surface and arranged in spaced relationship to each other;
- each of said terminal blocks having a predetermined number of slotted cavities;
- a plurality of wire segments obtained by laying down at least one uninterrupted wire interconnecting said slotted cavities and then cutting out a length of wire between at least one selected pair of said terminals;
- each one of said wire segments being disposed in preselected ones of said cavities so as to provide an electrical connection between said preselected ones of said cavities;
- a plurality of sets of interconnected cutting contacts;
- each one of said sets being assigned to a selected number of cavities in each of a predetermined number of said terminal blocks and the cutting contacts of each set being seated in corresponding ones of the selected number of said cavities;
- each of said wire segments being in electrical contact engagement with the electrical contact in the preselected cavity wherein a corresponding wire segment is disposed; and,
- each of said electrical components being connected across two preselected ones of said cutting contacts.
- 6. The apparatus of claim 5, said cavities having a lining made of a material suitable for current-conducting parts.
- 7. The apparatus of claim 6, said housing being made of polyamide plastic and said lining being made of NOVODUR plastic.
- 8. The apparatus of claim 4, said housing being a clamshell-type housing.
