Patent number: 4099425Abstract: A pushpull cable conduit is made by continuously moving a tubular mandrel through a crosshead extruding die, forming a tape of micro-porous polytetrafluoroethylene resin into cylindrical form covering the mandrel as it enters the extruding die, extruding an outer layer of fluid polymeric material over the cylindrical covering in the presence of heat, helically wrapping contiguous wires over said outer layer to form a wire layer, extruding an outer covering of thermoplastic material over the wire layer, and removing the tubular mandrel. The porosity of the polytetrafluoroethylene covering insures a good heat bond with the outer layer of fluid polymeric material and also provides a lubricant reservoir in its inner surface, thereby minimizing friction with the cable core and greatly reducing sound transmission.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1976Date of Patent: July 11, 1978Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventor: Bruce H. Moore

Patent number: 4064614Abstract: A method of making an improved permanently attachable coupling shell for use with coupling assemblies adapted for attachment to the end of a hose or tube used for the conveyance of fluids under pressure. The method provides a novel means of providing a plurality of solid integral three-dimensional circumferentially spaced barbs on the inner wall of the shell that controllably pierce the wall of the hose or tube to which the coupling assembly is attached and thereby increases the resistance to detachment of the assembly under pressurized and/or axially strain conditions. Included in the method, is a means of reducing or preventing bulging of the uncompressed outer surface or wall portion of the hose or tube adjacent the compressed portion thereof within the attached shell member.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1976Date of Patent: December 27, 1977Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventor: Louis T.

Patent number: 4061407Abstract: An electrical connector assembly has a receptacle and a plug having mating electrical contact members. The plug has a key or other protuberant member which is external of the receptacle. A cover on the receptacle is biased towards its closed position and has a latch member which engages the protuberant member to hold the plug against longitudinal movement relative to the receptacle. A spring clip member is attached to the plug and has a resilient portion which biases the cover towards the plug and thus increases the pressure of the cover against the plug and strengthens the lock formed by the latch member of the cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1976Date of Patent: December 6, 1977Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventor: John P. Snow

Patent number: 4050327Abstract: A connector to provide a fast-make coupling by which releasably to interconnect a control device to a push-pull control cable assembly. The control device has at least a sheath member and a plunger movable longitudinally within a passage through the sheath member. A connector housing is substantially permanently secured to the casing of the push-pull control cable assembly and releasably attached to the sheath member so as to be longitudinally aligned with the passageway therein. A shuttle plug, which is secured to the core of the push-pull control cable assembly is slidably received within the connector housing and the passageway in the sheath member to which the connector housing is releasably attached. A lug is presented from the plunger and interacts with a socket in the shuttle plug to effect an interconnection that is readily engaged and released, but only when the connector housing is not attached to the sheath member.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1975Date of Patent: September 27, 1977Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventors: Robert J. Thomas, Marvin H. Jones

Patent number: 4036066Abstract: An actuator for an automatic transmission modulator valve which automatically changes shift speeds proportional to demand on the engine from idle to full throttle. The actuator is preferably controlled by a push-pull cable operatively connected to the throttle or accelerator, and exerts pressure on the push pin of the modulator valve in direct proportion to the travel of the throttle. The actuator utilizes balls between inclined surfaces on interfacing rotary and stationary cam plates and the cable applies rotating force through a moment arm to the rotary plate to obtain a substantial mechanical advantage in the amount of pressure applied to the push pin.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1976Date of Patent: July 19, 1977Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventor: Richard D. Houk

Patent number: 4005614Abstract: A system for transferring motion between locations remote with respect to each other by a push-pull control cable assembly. The system employs a motion conversion unit at either or both control and controlled station, said units serving to convert rotary motion into linear motion, and vice versa. That is, a force transfer shaft is rotatably mounted in the housing of the motion conversion unit to receive, or impart, rotary motion, and the core element of the push-pull control cable assembly -- which receives, or imparts, linear motion -- extends into, or through, the unit in transversely spaced relation with respect to the shaft. That portion of the normally flexible core element which extends into, or through, the unit is made rigid to impart columnar strength. A crosshead is secured to the rigidified portion of the core element and is slidably received within a first guideway presented from the housing to minimize lateral loading to the rigidified portion of the core element.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1975Date of Patent: February 1, 1977Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventors: Bruce H. Moore, Richard D. Houk

Patent number: 3993860Abstract: An electrical cable of conventional or retractable helical coil form which is relatively small in diameter and sufficiently flexible to be used to advantage on a tractor-trailer to connect the power supply on the tractor with the electrical system carried by the trailer has a polymeric sheath, an insulated 10 gauge stranded conductor substantially coaxial with the sheath, four to six insulated stranded 12 gauge conductors substantially evenly spaced about the periphery of the 10 gauge conductor, a plurality of uninsulated stranded conductors of 14 gauge disposed between the smaller insulated conductors, filler material filling the spaces between the conductors and preferably a plastic film helically wound about the conductors. The 12 and 14 gauge conductors are helically wound about the 10 gauge conductor. The assembly of conductors, filler and plastic film combine to form a cable having a substantially circular cross-section and substantially fill the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1975Date of Patent: November 23, 1976Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventors: John P.

Patent number: 3990479Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for processing curable thermoplastic elastomers and particularly to flexible, shaped articles made therefrom which have improved high strength, radiation and temperature resistance and electrical characteristics useful as fluid transmission tubing and/or as electrical insulation. Such articles are made from uncured, thermoplastic elastomer materials -- in the form of selectively hard, radiation sensitive, flowable solids -- which are thermoplastically molded to provide an essentially uncured, dimensionally stable, intermediate shaped article. Such intermediate articles are radiation-cured to provide finished cross-linked articles having such characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1974Date of Patent: November 9, 1976Assignee: Samuel Moore and CompanyInventors: Clifford R. Stine, William J. Herbert, Bruce E. Klipec
