Patent NZ-553768-A (NZ)
Title: Cable connection device
Inventor: OGDEN BRUCE JAMES
Filed: 2007-03-12
Abstract: An electrical cable connection device (1) is disclosed. The device has a body (2) with a cavity (9) separated into upper (13) and lower (14) tunnels by a partition (10) formed of an electrically conductive material. A first cable is received in the upper tunnel, and a second cable is received in the lower tunnel. A fastener extends through an aperture (21) in the upper wall (3) and forces the first cable towards the lower wall. The partition (10) is displaced towards the lower wall (4) upon application of a predetermined force by the fastener, resulting in the first and second cables being clamped between the fastener and the lower wall, with the partition providing an electrical connection. The displacement of the partition may be enabled by the use of frangible nodes (17, 18) received in opposing slots (15, 16) in the side walls (5, 6). The partition may also include piercing teeth (19) for penetrating insulation of the first cable. The device is typically used for connecting an electrical power distribution house service cable to a consumer power cable.
