Weld positioning clip for encapsulation process

Abstract

A cable clip for engaging around an exposed conducting core of a cable during an encapsulation process. The clip is formed as a rectilinear loop having an inner surface and an outer surface and opposed ends which define an opening in the loop therebetween by means of which the clip can be engaged around the exposed core. The clip has posts distributed around, and extending outwardly from, its outer surface. The posts engage with an inner surface in an encapsulation mold enclosed around the clip so as to maintain a minimum spacing between the mold and the outer surface of the body around the entire clip and thereby ensure a minimum thickness of encapsulation sealant is formed around the exposed core of the cable during the encapsulation process.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
