Abstract
This invention relates to a junction connector for permanently connecting electric cables, wherein its sleeve comprises a bore passing longitudinally therethrough, a part of the wall of this bore, extending over an angle at the center greater than 180.degree., being provided with longitudinal ribs projecting radially towards the center; aligned tapped holes, made from the outside, open out in the bore opposite the central generatrix of its ribbed part; and locking bolts whose end is in the form of a spherical cap and incorporating a cleavable head, are screwed in the tapped holes to assemble the cables sleeve.
Claims7
Splicing connector for permanently connecting bared ends of stranded conductor cables comprising:
- a sleeve pierced with a bore which passes longitudinally therethrough to receive the bare ends of two cables to be connected;
- on a part extending over an angle at the centre greater than 180.degree., the wall of said bore presents longitudinal ribs which project radially towards the centre;
- a series of tapped holes disposed in alignment, open out in said bore, substantially opposite the central generatrix of the ribbed part of said bore;
- and
- inside each tapped hole is engaged a locking bolt ensuring assembly of the cables and the sleeve, wherein the locking bolt comprises a cleavable head and an end in the form of a spherical cap.
