Patent CA-2298378-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BONILLA NELSON
IPC: H01R24/76
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: Un montage de serrage câble par l'arrière dans un ensemble de bornes de contact à utiliser avec une prise électrique consiste en un socle, un pinceur, une vis et une rondelle anti-vibration. Le socle est connecté à l'ensemble de bornes de contact de la prise électrique. Le socle a deux languettes latérales avant situées sur les bords latéraux du socle. Le pinceur s'ajuste avec le socle. Le pinceur a deux languettes latérales arrière opposées situées sur les bords latéraux du pinceur et une languette avant située sur le bord frontal du pinceur. Les languettes latérales arrière du pinceur et les languettes latérales avant du socle forment ensemble les faces latérales. La languette avant du pinceur est insérée dans une fraisure du socle et forme une paroi frontale. Le pinceur et le socle ensemble définissent au moins un canal pour recevoir un câble multifilaire et les rapprocher considérablement afin d'établir le contact entre les fils du câble. La vis est placée dans l'orifice central du pinceur pour traverser le passage central de l'ensemble et serrer ainsi le pinceur au socle. La vis avec le socle et le pinceur contribuent à établir le contact électrique entre les fils du câble dans les quatre côtés du câble. La rondelle est sur la vis pour appliquer de la pression sur le pinceur de façon à retenir l'action de serrage du socle et du pinceur sur le câble durant la vibration de la prise électrique.

Inventor: COURT MELVIN T
IPC: E04C2/36
Filed: 2001-06-11
Abstract: A plurality of thermoplastic tubular segments having substantially equal lengths are arranged in horizontal side-by-side relationship with the respective ends of the tubular segments aligned in a generally common plane. Small portions of the respective ends of the tubes are cut by a thermal cutting device which simultaneously fuses the ends of the tubes to produce a consolidated unitary structure having a thickness defined by the distance between the fused ends of the tubular segments. The consolidated unitary structure is then rotated to a horizontal position, with the tubular segments vertically oriented, and cut along at least one horizontal plane to produce fused cores having a thickness defined by the vertical position of a horizontally disposed thermal cutting device. Cutting consolidated unitary structures of thermoplastic tubular segments along horizontal planes, while the consolidated unitary structure is disposed horizontally, avoids the manufacturing and material handling problems previously associated with vertical cutting of consolidated unitary structures.
