  • Patent number: 6672909
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a conductive member formed from several sheets of a resilient conductive material, such as a wire mesh or conductive textile. The sheets are layered and joined together at intervals to form separate passages between the sheets through the member. Screened wires in the connector pass through respective passages and the member is compressed about the wires by a strap tightened about the member so that electrical connection is made to the wire screens. The resilience of the member means that the strap can be released and retightened, allowing removal and replacement of wires.

  • Publication number: 20030115751
    Abstract: A resilient insulative sleeve is carried in an expanded state extending along one end of a tubular metal carrier. The carrier has several internally-projecting crimps and a flange at one end. The carrier with the sleeve is slid onto a cable until the crimps engage an enlargement on the cable formed by connection to the cable. A tool is then used to apply force between the carrier's flange and one end of the sleeve so that the sleeve is pushed off the carrier and contracts onto the cable about the connection.

  • Patent number: 6485335
    Abstract: A connector for a bundle of screened wires has grounding wires connecting the housing with the screens of the wires. Each screen projects in a tubular portion of a respective metal connection device together with one end of a grounding wire. The tubular portion is crimped to a C-shape in section so that it lies closely against the wire. A support tail of concave section extends rearwardly from the tubular portion and is attached to the outside of the wire.
