  • Patent number: 4053703
    Abstract: A formed member is disclosed which has a plurality of deformable jaws capable of being associated with the ends of small service wires to clamp the insulation and conductive shield. The clamping connector thus forms an electrical coupling with the shield and at the same time locates the ends of the service wires relative to one another. An attachment portion enables the shield to be grounded and the clamped service wires to be positioned relative to a splice enclosure or other fixture. The deformable jaws interlock when deformed to hold a service wire such that purchase is insured on the insulation and conductive shield.

  • Patent number: 4053704
    Abstract: A kit of parts for forming an enclosure for a cable splice that rigidly fixes two or more spliced cables and moisture proofs the splice and exposed cable ends. The kit includes a vial partially filled with a body of sealant and a plug which receives the cable ends and then may be positioned in the vial and partially immersed in the body of sealant. By immersing the plug in the body of sealant, the sealant is forced upwardly and around the cable ends to fully enclose the cable splice and the cable ends in the sealant. Arms associated with the plug act to retain the plug on the vial.

  • Patent number: 4026012
    Abstract: An insert for protecting electrical conductors in a cable during and after installation of a shield connector. The insert includes a flexible piece of plastic broadly oval in plan which may be easily inserted underneath the outer cover and shield of a cable to protect the electrical conductors contained within the cable.

  • Patent number: 3935373
    Abstract: An insert for the ends of a splice case providing a sealed passageway which may be used, subsequent to installation of the splice case, for providing an access hole for receipt of additional cables and the like. The insert includes a first resilient tube having a rigid metal sleeve positioned thereabout and an end seal at a first end thereof. A second resilient tube extends from about the first resilient tube at a second end of said tube. The insert is positioned through an end member of a splice case during fabrication of the end member. The end seal may be cut at a later time when an access passageway leading into the splice case is required.
