Compartmentalized splice case

A splice case for enclosing and protecting field spliced connections between the conductors of a plurality of cables, said case comprising in combination a multipart housing having housing parts that provide walls for enclosing said spliced connections, common-wall partition means for disposition between adjacent housing parts for subdividing said housing into a plurality of separate compartments the interiors of which are hermetically isolated one from the other when the housing is assembled, said partition means being provided around its perimeter with a plurality of sapced apart threaded stubs for separably securing each of the housing parts to said partition means, each said housing part being individually and selectively separable from said common-wall partition means for enabling access to one of said compartments while all other compartments remain sealed, a plurality of mutually insulated electrically conductive elements mounted on said partition means and passing therethrough without interruption from one of said compartments to another of said compartments while heretically sealed to said partition means, entry means included in said housing walls for accommodating entry to said housing of external cables, and means within said housing for selectively establishing connection between said electrically conductive elements and conductors of a cable entering said splice case.
