Abstract: Described herein is an article comprising a cold shrinkable hollow body having at least one open end, and at least a portion of the inner surface of the hollow body having one or more protrusions.

Abstract: An electrical splice connector includes a housing, a conductive member retained within the housing and defining a longitudinal axis, and at least two biasing members circumferentially disposed about the longitudinal axis of the conductive member and biased toward the conductive member. Each of the biasing members is configured to urge conductors inserted into the housing into electrical contact with the conductive member.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrically insulative cylindrical housing, an electrically conductive member retained within the cylindrical housing, and at least one biasing member biased toward a surface of the conductive member. The conductive member defines a longitudinal axis and the biasing member(s) is/are circumferentially disposed about the longitudinal axis of the conductive member. Conductors inserted into the cylindrical housing are urged into electrical contact with the conductive member by the biasing member(s).

Abstract: An article can include a protective core having two end portions. The article can include a number of support cores. Each support core can be positioned substantially adjacent each end portion of the protective core. The article can include a cold shrinkable material held in an expanded state over at least a portion of the protective core and at least a portion of each support core. The support cores, the protective core, and the cold shrinkable material can collectively be placed over an apparatus such that the cold shrinkable material tightens over a portion of the apparatus responsive to removing the support core from the cold shrinkable material.

Abstract: A tubular housing is provided having an open face and a circumferential perimeter portion adjacent the open face of the housing. An elastomeric film can be mounted on the circumferential perimeter portion of the tubular housing across the open face of the tubular housing. The elastomeric film can be adapted to interface one or more cables when the cables are positioned within the housing to seal the cables from environmental conditions.

Abstract: An electrical wire connector having an insulating body and cover, a conductive contact element and a wire cut-off blade. The cap and body telescope together to force wires into the contact element and to force the wires against the cut-off blade to sever the ends of the wires and the cap and body have cooperating parts to close off the end of the body adjacent the severed wire ends.
