  • Publication number: 20080257582
    Abstract: The sleeve for an electric cable comprises two bodies (2, 3) and a hinge (4). Each body (2, 3) is flexible in the profile thereof, has, in the absence of mechanical stress, a position of rest in which it is curved whereas it is designed for being bent from the position of rest. The sleeve has an open position in which the bodies (2, 3) are separated from one another when in the position of rest, has a first stable closed position in which a first body (3) receives the second body (2) and has a second stable closed position in which the second body (2) receives the first body (3). The sleeve is designed for being deformed by folding the hinge (4) and to flex in the profile of these bodies (2, 3) in order to pass from the open position into one or other said stable closed positions.

  • Patent number: 5017161
    Abstract: An electric terminal connector comprises a generally tubular metal part adapted to fit over the previously bared end of the conductive core of an insulated electric conductor. An insulative sleeve has a front portion adapted to be engaged with this metal part and a rear portion larger than the front portion adapted to fit over the corresponding end of the insulation of the electric conductor. The inner end of the metal part is initially straight and is deformed during manufacture into a tulip-shape having on its end surface an outside edge adapted to form an anchor edge by means of which it is anchored to the insulative part. The insulative part has a transverse shoulder with an inside diameter which is less than that of the inside edge of the end surface of the inner end of the metal part and the inner end of the metal part is aligned with the transverse shoulder.

  • Patent number: 4969845
    Abstract: An electric terminal connector comprises a generally tubular metal part adapted to fit over the previously bared end of the conductive core of an insulated electric conductor. An insulative sleeve has a front portion adapted to be engaged with this metal part and a rear portion larger than the front portion adapted to fit over the corresponding end of the insulation of the electric conductor. The insulative sleeve comprises a transverse shoulder on its inside. The rear portion of the metal part is straight and its end is adapted to bear on this transverse shoulder. There is at least locally between the metal part and the insulative sleeve a film of adhesive which fastens them together. In line with at least the transverse shoulder the internal surface of the insulative sleeve has a diameter at most equal to that of the inside surface of the metal part.

  • Patent number: 4733701
    Abstract: A tool for tightening and cutting clamps comprises two handles pivoted to each other of which one is a tightening handle and has at its end a grasping member adapted to grasp the clamp to be cut. The other handle is a cutting handle and has at its end a movable cutter. Elastic element oppose movement of the grasping and cutting handles towards each other. An actuator to apply thrust to the cutter and elastic return element opposes movement of the cutter. The actuator comprises the pivot by which the handles are pivoted to each other and a curved slot in the cutting handle by which the cutting handle is fastened to the pivot and in which the pivot is movable parallel to itself, transversely to the pivot axis.
