  • Publication number: 20180287271
    Abstract: There is provided an electrically insulating cap including a tube having a tube radius, an opening at a first end of the tube for receiving electrical wires, and a joint between two opposing sides of the tube within an interior of the tube. The joint blocks the tube at a point along a length of the tube to prevent the electrical wires from entering beyond a fixed distance into the tube. The joint is spaced away from a second end of the tube by a standoff distance, the second end of the tube being opposite the first end of the tube. The standoff distance is greater than the radius of the tube and less than five times the radius of the tube. The tube is formed of an outer tube of a non heat shrinkable material around an inner tube of a heat shrinkable material.

  • Patent number: 8592684
    Abstract: An electrical insulating cap formation is disclosed. The electrical insulating cap formation includes a strip of material and one or more electrical insulating caps each comprising a tubular section and a closed end section, in which the one or more electrical insulating caps are carried on the strip of material by their end sections. The strip of material includes a wing portion which extends over at least a part of the tubular sections of the one or more electrical insulating caps. The strip of material is formed such that an outer edge of the wing portion is spaced apart from the tubular sections of the one or more electrical insulating caps.
