1,045,920. Couplings; junction boxes. ELASTIC STOP NUT CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Dec. 31, 1963 [Jan. 14, 1963], No 51447/63. Heading H2E. An electrical connector assembly for connecting a plurality of first cables 12, to at least one second cable 10, comprises first and second members 30 and 40, of resilient insulating material, said members having portions 33 and 42 which grip the cable insulation in a watertight manner, and a conducting element 20 which connects the conductors together, the members 30 and 40, having forward portions 38 and 44 which separably grip one another to form a waterproof chamber surrounding the element 20. The element 20 may consist of a metallic disc having a central ferrule 22 which receives the bared end 14 of cable 10, and apertures 24 for receiving the bared ends 14 of cables 12. The member 40 is formed to accommodate four cables, but if a smaller number are used, bungs 48 may be placed in passages 42 to keep the connector watertight. In further embodiments, the housing may be of a different shape, and also (Fig. 5) the element may be formed of a lug 121 to which two flag lugs 122 are bolted. The bared ends of the cables are in this case crimped in their respective lugs. In a further embodiment, Fig. 8 (not shown), two conducting elements are encased by the housing, each element connecting two first cables to one second cable. |
