Patent number: 11056805Abstract: A cable splice includes a casing, a guide, and a pilot cup. The casing has a first opening and an interior cavity. The guide includes a receiving end and a shaft extending at least partially into the interior cavity. The pilot cup is integrally formed with the guide and frangibly connected to the shaft. The cable splice may also include a clamp positioned in the interior cavity and moveable between a loading position and a terminated position. A biasing member urges the clamp into the terminated position. During movement of the clamp from the loading position to the terminated position, the clamp contacts the guide causing at least a portion of the shaft to exit the interior cavity. The guide may also include a rib and a slot allowing the guide to fit in casings having different sized interior cavities.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Seydou Diop, Paul Zelazny, John Edward Sakmar

Patent number: 10665966Abstract: A cable splice includes a casing having a central portion and a first end including a first aperture. The casing defines an interior cavity. A guide assembly extends through the first opening into the interior cavity. A first clamp member is positioned in the interior cavity and moveable between a loading position and a terminated position. A first biasing member biases the first clamp member toward the terminated position. A carrier is positioned in the interior cavity between the first biasing member and the central region. A second clamp member is positioned in the carrier and moveable with respect to the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Seydou Diop, Paul Zelazny, Dirk Byerman

Patent number: 9780491Abstract: A cable connector includes a body member having a first opening to receive a cable and a second opening. An indicator is movable between first and second positions. A stop member substantially prevents unintended movement of the indicator from the first position to the second position. The indicator moves past the stop member and through the second opening in the body member when moving from the first position to the second position and is exposed externally of the body member to indicate full insertion of the cable.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Seydou Diop, Paul Zelazny
