Abstract: A high-voltage insulator includes a metal armature, an insulating tube joined to the metal armature, which is adhesively bonded to the metal armature at an end formed as a supporting ring, and an axially symmetrical adhesive-bonding joint disposed around the axis of the insulating tube. An annular grove, which is formed in the metal armature, is disposed around the axis of the insulating tube and receives an end portion of the supporting ring. Sealing surfaces are respectively formed in the groove and in the supporting ring. The sealing surfaces are arranged and formed in such a way that, when the insulating tube and the metal armature are joined, they slide on one another, thereby forming a seal, and the supporting ring acting as a displacement body presses adhesive that has been introduced into the groove before the joining into the adhesive-bonding joint.

Abstract: A bussed electrical center (BEC) has a lateral appendage for a positive battery terminal to be used for jump starting purposes. A cover for the terminal is hingedly attached to the lateral appendage of the BEC by way of a relatively rotatable axle and bearing combination as well as facially abutting complemental locking surfaces each having alternatively raised and unraised sectors which interfit in each of two locking positions 180 degrees apart so that the cover can be locked fully open or fully closed.

Abstract: A cap for conduit ends, through which electrical or communication cables extend. The cap has a hollow body, into which an open end of a conduit is accepted at a lower portion. The upper portion of the cap has a passageway comprising voids through which the cable extends. Between the top of the cable cap, and at the top of the cable cap, the cap is shaped so that there are no substantial horizontal surfaces that are of sufficient dimension to permit rodents or other vermin to sit on the cable cap and chew on the cables. At the same time, the cap prevents water and foreign objects from entering the conduit.

Abstract: An insulator assembly including an insulator with a lower part having a mounting bushing sealingly mounted thereon. The bushing being provided with a cylindrical body which is locatable over the groove, and can be shaped during manufacture to sealingly engage in the groove by a spinning technique.

Abstract: An electrode cover is provided having two spaced apart frusto-conical caps. Each cap has an open end leading to a receptacle cavity sized to accept a frusto-conically shaped electrode. A tether is formed integral with and extending between the two caps so as to bind the two caps together at a predetermined distance. A shockless system for training an animal is also provided including an animal collar arrangement comprising an electric shock generator for delivering an electrical shock to an animal under predetermined conditions to control the movement of the animal. A collar is provided for the animal for carrying the electrical shock generator so that electrodes are positioned to engage the animal Advantageously, an electrode cover is provided that includes two spaced apart frusto-conical caps each having an open end leading to a receptacle cavity sized to accept the frusto-conically shaped electrodes.

The cover piece contains a pair of elastically deformable locking arms extending vertically. The body has receiving portions locking lip portions of the locking arms thereto when the cover piece is closed. The locking arms are protected inside the cover piece and are sufficiently flexible to reduce risk of breakage on repeated opening and closing.

At least a portion of the annular flange is formed of a preformed annular member defining at least an interior diameter of the annular flange. The use of the preformed annular member eliminates the need for two costly secondary machining operations to prepare the annular flange for receiving and crimping on the fiberglass rod of the insulator.

Additional sealing can also be provided by axially compressing the weathershed housing between the end fittings.

Abstract: A metal-capped electrical insulator and method of making same by forming a metal cap on an insulator dielectric by directly casting molten metal round a portion of the dielectric to embed it therein. Before casting the metal (16 or 17), a metal washer (1 ) is placed in contact with the boundary on the insulator at the edge of the portion to be embedded. The washer has a circular groove (2) open on the side through which the molten metal is poured. Before casting, said washer is deformed, by pressing it hard in a metal-casting mould (30) to the dielectric and deflecting the walls (3, 4) of the groove (2) to create an undercut in the metal washer.
