[Also in Divisions B8 and F2] A reel for a safety harness strap comprises a spring loaded spindle and a vehicle acceleration sensitive device, a ball, to automatically brake the spindle to arrest paying out of the strap. On acceleration or deceleration of a vehicle, the ball 44 which rests on the surface of a cup 40, rises along the inclined surface into locking contact with the periphery of an inertia plate 28. Three other balls 26 rest in recesses in the inertia plate 28 and in a coaxial thrust plate 24 secured to the spindle 15. On increased tension in the strap or on braking the inertia plate, the inertia plate lags behind the thrust plate and the balls roll into the shallower parts of the recesses further braking the interia plate and causing the inertia plate to move along the spindle to engage the brake plate and arrest the spindle. The ball 44 is movable into contact with the periphery of the inertia plate by actuating a manually operated lever so that a finger thereon under spring pressure moves the ball into contact. The reel spindle is then braked solely by increasing the tension in the strap.

Sept. 22, 1934, No. 27264. [Class 38 (i)] [See also Group V] At a joint or termination of an impregnatedpaper-insulated cable, at which the lead sheath has been removed, the normal insulation is replaced or reinforced by moulding on to the cable a homogeneous body of a material such as synthetic resin, wax or cellulose-acetate moulding powder, capable upon setting of retaining its shape without any external casing or support. In the cable termination, Fig. 1, at which the stripped cable is led up through an insulator 10 to a terminal, a stress-distributing copper cone 2 with a slotted end 3 is first clamped to the uncovered insulation 4 by a clamp 6 bonded to a second clamp 7 embracing the sheath 5. The mould, Fig. 2, which is then applied to the cable, comprises three annular sections 11, 12, 13 each formed in two halves, the lower section 11 being adapted to fit the upper portion of the cone 2 whilst the upper section 13 fits tightly around the surface of the insulated cable 1. Hot plastic material is forced into the mould through a threaded opening 24 which communicates through a semicircular groove 25 with diametrically-opposite entry holes 26. A moulded body 8 shaped as in Fig. 1 is thus formed. Fig. 9 shows a joint for a three-core high-tension cable in which the body of insulation 46 is formed by a mould comprising four semi-cylindrical sections united by flanges 54 and 56, 57. The mould has internal grooves for holding spacing discs 44 which define the end of the moulded body, and stress cones 45 are formed by winding tapered copper strip. The hot moulding material is then forced in through the inlet 60 leading to a groove 61 which communicates with the interior of the mould through a circumferential slot 62 increasing from zero width at a point adjacent the entrance to maximum width at a point diametrically opposite, thus giving a uniform flow into the mould. The internal surface of the mould may be chromium plated to prevent sticking, and the outer surface of the cable insulation and the internal surface of the stress cones may be treated with a solution of resin &c. to assist adhesion. The whole joint, Fig. 9, and adjacent portions of the cores may be enclosed in a lead casing filled with oil.
