Publication number: 20070253792Abstract: A torque-limited fastener is for an electrical connector including an electrically conductive body having at least one fastener-receiving passageway intersecting a cable-receiving passageway. The torque-limited fastener may include a body being externally threaded to be received within the fastener-receiving passageway and having a tool-receiving passageway therein. A break-away head may be initially coupled to the body for breaking away therefrom at a torque limit upon tightening of the fastener. The break-away head may have a tool-receiving passageway therethrough aligned with the tool-receiving passageway of the body and accommodating a commonly-sized tool therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2006Publication date: November 1, 2007Applicant: Homac Mfg. CompanyInventors: James Zahnen, Paul Lubinsky, Marie Lubinsky

Publication number: 20060286862Abstract: A reusable insulating and sealing structure may include an insulating tube and a frusto-conical seal having an enlarged diameter open distal end carried by an open distal end of the insulating tube and having a reduced diameter open proximal end extending into the insulating tube. The reduced diameter open proximal end may be resiliently deformable to accommodate a range of sizes of cable ends therethrough. The reusable insulating and sealing structure may also include a removable seal closure cap for removable positioning in the enlarged diameter open distal end of the frusto-conical seal, and an integrally molded tether connecting the removable seal closure cap to the frusto-conical seal adjacent the enlarged diameter open distal end thereof. The closure cap and tether permit the insulating and sealing structure to be sealed when a cable is not extending therethrough and thus permit the insulating and sealing structure to be reused.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2006Publication date: December 21, 2006Applicant: Homac Mfg.

Publication number: 20060148329Abstract: An electrical connector for electrical cables may include an electrically conductive body, a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) insulating cover, and windows aligned with cable end viewing openings in the conductive body. The electrically conductive body may have spaced apart cable-receiving passageways for receiving respective electrical cable ends therein, and with each cable-receiving passageway having a cable inlet opening and a cable end viewing opening opposite the cable inlet opening. The electrically conductive body may also have at least one respective fastener-receiving passageway intersecting each of the cable-receiving passageways. A respective fastener may be provided in each of the fastener-receiving passageways. The windows provide a cover and permit visual confirmation of proper placement of the electrical cable end within a corresponding one of the cable-receiving passageways.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2004Publication date: July 6, 2006Applicant: Homac Mfg.

Publication number: 20060035498Abstract: A connector body may have a passageway therethrough and may include a first layer adjacent the passageway and having a relatively low resistivity, a second layer surrounding the first layer and including a material having a relatively high resistivity, and a third layer surrounding the second layer and including a material having the relatively low resistivity. At least one of the first, second and third layers may include a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material. The connector body may also include at least one member of a different thermoplastic material than the TPE material and being bonded to adjacent portions of the TPE material. For example, the different thermoplastic material may comprise polypropylene and the member may be a pulling eye or test point insert. In other embodiments, instead of TPE, at least one of the first, second and third layers may include a silicone material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2005Publication date: February 16, 2006Applicant: HOMAC MFG.

Publication number: 20050198889Abstract: The fishing device of the present invention provides a parachute on the fishing line for use with large game fish. The parachute is enclosed in a container and released upon hooking a fish. The parachute provides a drag for the fish. The drag slows the fish and tires it more quickly. The slower speeds of the fish caused by the drag help prevent loss of the fish due to line breakage, hook release, or lack of line. The fishing device may also function as a lure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Inventors: Kevin Lubinsky, Paul Lubinsky

Publication number: 20050157449Abstract: An overhead service drop extending between a utility pole and a customer location includes at least one power conductor, a neutral conductor messenger supporting itself and the power conductor, and a separable power connector between the power conductor and a corresponding utility power conductor adjacent the utility pole. The overhead service drop further includes a separable neutral connector between the neutral conductor messenger and a corresponding utility neutral conductor, and a mechanical breakaway member between the neutral conductor messenger and the utility pole. The mechanical breakaway member breaks away prior to breakage of the neutral conductor messenger to permit preferential separation of the separable power and neutral connectors based upon increased tension imparted to the neutral conductor messenger by a falling object.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2005Publication date: July 21, 2005Applicant: Homac Mfg.
