Contact Permanently Secured To A Conductor, E.g., Crimped, Soldered, Etc. Patents (Class 439/430)
  • Patent number: 9274286
    Abstract: A fiber optic stub fiber connector for reversibly and nondestructively terminating an inserted field fiber having a buffer over at least a portion thereof. The connector includes a housing and a ferrule including a stub fiber disposed within and extending from a bore through the ferrule. The ferrule is generally at least partially disposed within and supported by the housing. The connector further includes a reversible actuator for reversibly and nondestructively terminating the inserted field fiber to the stub fiber. The reversible actuator includes a buffer clamp for engaging with the buffer to simultaneously provide reversible and nondestructive strain relief to the terminated field fiber.

  • Publication number: 20080254673
    Abstract: A terminal fitting has a base (11) for receiving a cylindrical sealing plug (70) mounted on an end of a wire (60) and crimping pieces (14F, 14R) projecting from opposite lateral edges of the base (11). The crimping pieces (14F, 14R) are crimped into connection at different positions of the outer circumferential surface of the sealing plug (70) in forward and backward directions. The base (11) is arranged Circumferentially along the lower half of the outer circumferential surface of the sealing plug (70) from its connected positions with the respective crimping pieces (14F, 14R) and includes receiving portions (16F, 16R) which have lateral edges (16E) facing the leading ends of the respective crimping pieces (14F, 14R) in circumferential direction and located at the upper half of the outer circumferential surface of the sealing plug (70).

  • Patent number: 5005360
    Abstract: A solar energy system for generating electricity. The system tracks the sun during the day to produce a concentrated beam of light which is focused through a fixed opening in a heat storage chamber. The beam of light pressurizes the chamber and seals the fixed opening to prevent depressurization of the chamber. A closed circuit fluid heat transfer system collects heat from the heat storage chamber and powers a turbine. Heat powers the closed circuit system. A pump is not used in the closed circuit system. The turbine powers an electrical generator.
