Patent number: 7799996Abstract: A corrosion resistant automatic splice having a housing with opposed first and second ends, an interior cavity between the ends, and a plurality of drainage openings disposed between an exterior surface of the housing and the interior cavity. The first and second ends are each adjacent a biasing member or spring. A semi frustoconical gripping jaw or clamp is located at each of the first and second ends adapted for receiving a cable. The drainage openings aid in voiding corrosive contaminants from the interior cavity of the splice.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: R. Carl Tamm, Robert G. Hay, Stanley R. Siegrist

Patent number: 7562848Abstract: A single bolt deadend anchor clamp for gripping a cable includes a body having a clevis assembly at a first end and a sagging eye at an opposing second end. A middle body extends between the first and second ends, and includes a reinforcing rib. A pocket is adjacent the reinforcing rib for receiving a keeper inserted above the pocket. A biasing member is disposed between the pocket and the keeper for counterbalancing a load between the keeper and the retaining groove. The biasing member is preferably a spring including a cross bar and two sets of coils.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2006Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Carl R.

Patent number: 7531747Abstract: A unitized core grip for an electrical connector includes a longitudinal shaft, a plurality of lobes connected by a plurality of web members, a generally triangular center bore, and a plurality of axial grooves. The core grip is defined by a plurality of longitudinally extending, circumferentially spaced lobes, spaced about a longitudinal axis. The plurality of web members are spaced between and connecting the lobes. The generally triangular center bore is defined by the interior surfaces of the lobes and the web members, prior to compression for receiving a cable.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2006Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Carl R. Tamm, Robert G. Hay

Patent number: 7416454Abstract: An electrical connector for clamping securely onto a threaded shaft includes a transformer bar, a connector body, a clamping component, and at least two columns for receiving streetlight taps. The transformer bar has a plurality of conductor bores, a distal end, and a bar top. The connector body is at the distal end and has first and second bosses at the bar top and first and second clamping sides. The clamping component is pivotally mounted by an attachment link to be selectively located adjacent one of the first and second clamping sides. Two columns are located adjacent the distal end of the transformer bar, protruding away from the transformer bar, one on each side, for supporting a streetlight tap and a redundant ground close to the connector body and a streetlight tap opposite the distal end.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2007Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Carl R. Tamm, Robert G. Hay, Brian A. Naro, Lawrence E. Bradford

Patent number: 7290745Abstract: A wedge clamp assembly includes a body having a body cable gripping surface, and a slider having a slider cable gripping surface. The slider cable gripping surface faces the body cable gripping surface to grip a cable. A connector is formed in one of the body and the slider, and includes a slot for moving the slider between closed and locked positions and an end portion formed on the other of the body and the slider. The end portion is axially slidable and rotatable in the slot. A coupling between the body and the slider pivotally connects the slider for movement between the closed position and an open position.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2004Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Carl R. Tamm, Lawrence E. Bradford, Robert G. Hay

Patent number: 7219399Abstract: A clamp for a cable having a housing with a first end, a second end, and an interior cavity to receive the cable. The clamp also includes a jaw assembly having a notch. The jaw assembly moves between locked and triggered positions within the cavity. A biasing member is disposed within the cavity to bias the jaw assembly towards the triggered position. A retainer is arranged within the cavity and has gripping fingers to engage the notches in the locked position. A trigger is positioned within the cavity. The trigger has an outer locking portion to engage with the gripping fingers to releasably secure the gripping fingers in the notches to retain the jaw assembly in the locked position. When the cable is inserted into the interior cavity and contacts the trigger device, the gripping fingers and notches disengage so that the biasing member biases the jaw assembly towards the first end of the clamp to clamp the cable.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Carl R. Tamm, Robert G. Hay, Stanley R. Siegrist

Patent number: 7049520Abstract: A connector includes a housing having a receiving end, a narrow end, and two side walls. Additionally, the housing includes a cable nesting section and a closed end recess longitudinally disposed on one of the side walls. First and second guide flanges are connected to the top edges of the side walls and a clamping body is slidably engaged with the housing. The clamping body includes first and second side members with upper bearing surfaces, a base wall connecting the side members, and a clamping body nesting section. A protrusion extends from the first member, and is slidably engaged within the closed end recess. A cable passageway is formed between the nesting sections. The upper bearing surfaces of the clamping body are slidably engaged with the guide flanges of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2005Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Carl R.
