Fi~ure 13 is a perspective view of a modified cover for use with the housin~ as in Figure 12.
As illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the enclosure has ~:
a housing 10 having base 11 and upturned ends 12 and 13, to form a trough shaped member. The side edges 14 of the ends are bent in as are also the edges of the base 11. A cover 16 having a top web 17 :
~L~5~135~
and sides 18, slides down into the housing to form the enclosure.
Extensions 19 on the top web provide mounting means, for example by keyhole apertures 20.
A hinged lid 22 is attached to the base of the housing for providing access, through a large aperture, not shown, in the base.
In each end 12 and 13 are two rectangular apertures 25 and 26. These are seen in Figures 4 and 5. Fitting in the apertures are alternatively blanking members 27 or cable sleeve members 28, as seen in Figures 1, 2 and 3. In Figures 1, 2 and 3, cables 29 and 30 are shown in the sleeves. Generally the enclosures will be provided with two sleeve members and two blanking members.
Figures 6, 7 and 8 illustrate a cable sleeve member 28, although a blanking member 27 is very similar in many respects. A
sleeve comprises a blanking portion 34 having two sheets of metal 35 and 36 ~joined together, as by spot welding. The outer sheet 35 is somewhat larger in width and height than the apertures 25 and 26.
The inner sheet 36 is narrower for most of the height but has two pro~jections 37 bent out and then back parallel to the inner sheet 35 to define two slots 387 a slot at the upper end of each side of the blanking portion 34, as seen in Figure 6. Also the bottom edge of the inner sheet is bent out and then back parallel to the inner sheet to define a transverse slot 39, along the bottom of the blanking portion 34, as seen in Figure 8. The slot 39 engages over the bottom of an aperture 25 or 26, and the slots 38 engage over the sides of an apertures 25 or 26 adjacent to the top. Once the cover 16 is on the housing the sleeves are held in place. An aperture 40 is formed . .
, ~
:. .
~15~85i~7 through the hlanking portion 34. Extendin~ from the sheets of metal 35 and 36 is a tubular member 41. As seen in Figure 8, the end of the tubular member is reduced in diameter on the outside and passes through the aperture 40 in the sheets, being dressed over at 42 on to the inner sheet to form an assembly. The cable end is passed through the tubular member and the tubular member crimped on to the outside of the cable.
The blankin~ members comprise ~just a blanking portion, comprising two sheets of metal attached together. The inner and outer sheets are as in the sleeve member with the exception that there is no tubular member and therefore no aperture through the sheets.
Figures 9, lO and ll illustrate how the enclosure is changed, from a cable entry at each end to two cables entering at the same end. Within the enclosure 10 is a terminal block 45, the terminal block having a plurality of terminal pins on the upper surface, the conductors from the cables 29 and 30 being connected to the pins. The pins connect to terminals in the block ~5. Typically housed within the terminal block 45 are surge and overvoltage 2n protectors which plug into the terminals, access being via the lid 22. At each side o~ the enclosure is a sheet of flexible plastic 46 which protects the conductors when the cover is applied, the sides 18 of the cover sliding down inside the side edges 14. However, this plastic sheet can be omitted.
In Fi~ure 9, the cable 29, in sleeve member 28, is inserted in aperture 25 at one end 12 and a blanking member 27 is in aperture 26 at the same end. Cable 309 in sleeve member 28 is in , ~:
. ..
.
, ~ ~ .
~L~LS4B~7 aperture 26 at the other end, 13, and a blanking member 27 is in aperture 27 at this end.
To change ends, for cable 29 as an example, the sleeve member 28 is slid up and out of the aperture 25 and cable and sleeve member mnved round, straightening the conductors, shown at 47. The plastic sheet 46 is bent down. The blanking member 27 is removed from aperture 25 at the same end 13 as cable 30 and reinserted in aperture 25 from which cable 29 and sleeve member 28 have been removed. This is the condition as illustrated in Figure 10.
1n Cable 29 and its sleeve member 28 is then moved round and the sleeve member inserted into the now open aperture 25~ The plastic sheet 46 closes up and the condition is as illustrated in Fiqure 11. Cable 30 can be moved from end 13 to end 12 in a similar manner, and if desired, both cables can be moved from entry positions at the same end for example end 13, to entry positions at the other ;
end, end 12.
The cover is held in place by screws ~8 passing through holes 49 in the ends 12 and 13, and entering threaded holes in hrackets attached to the top web 17 of the cover.
The term~nal enclosure may be required to be mounted in various ways and the alternative entries and exits as provided in the arrangement illustrated in Figures 1 to 11 provides for a variety of requirements wherein the cables need to enter and exit in a direction parallel to the top web 17 of the cover. Generally, in use, the cover 16 is the mounting base with the lid 22 readily accessible.
However, it is also sometimes required that the terminal enclosure be mounted on a frame or similar support, with the , ~L154857~
cables arriving perpendicular to the top web of the cover.
Figure 12 illustrates a housing, as in Figures 1 to 5 and 9, 10 and 11, in which a modified form of cable sleeve is provided. As illustrated in Figure 12, the housing 10 has a base and upturned ends 12 and 13. The side ed~es 14 of the ends are bent in, and also the edges of the base 11. This is the same form of housing and in each end are two rectangular apertures. At one end, end 13, as illustrated, the rectangular apertures are closed by blanking members 27. At the other end, end 12, two cable sleeve members 50 fit in the rectan~ular apertures.
The cable sleeve members have blanking portions 51 which are of the same form as the blanking portions forming the blanking members 27, that is having two sheets of metal attached together with projections and slots to enable them to fit into and be retained in the apertures. However, the outer sheet of metal is extended, at 52, and bent over to be perpendicular to portion 51, that is to extend inwards over the terminal block 45. In the portion 52 a hole is formed and a tubular member 53 is fitted therein. This part or portion 52 is similar to the cable sleeve member 28 of the previous embodiment, except that portion 52 is of only one sheet of rnetal. A threaded stud 5~ extends up from the portion 52, inward of the tubular member 53. A cable end 55 is shown in each tubular member or sleeve 53. The cable is secured in the sleeve by crimping for example.
For the arrangement of Figure 12, a modified cover is used. This is illustrated in Figure 13. Cover 60 is very similar to that of cover 16 in Figures 1, 2 and 3. It has a top web 61 and :, ' ; '~
': : . ~, , .;.
,~

15~5~
sides 62. The sides 16 slide down inside the edges 1~ and inside the bent in edges of the base. In this embodiment, two U-shaped! slots or openings ~3 are forlned at one end of the top web 61 and small holes 64. The slots 63 fit over the extensions 52 of the cable sleeve members and around the tubular members 53. The studs 54 on the cable sleeve members pass up through the holes 6~ and nuts are screwed on to the stud. Small brackets 65 with threaded holes 66, receive the screws 48 (Fi~ure 1) which pass through holes 49 in the housing. The studs 54 on the cable sleeve members 50 provide support for the extension 52 against flexing. Instead of extensions 19, as in Figures 1 and 2, small brackets 67 are provided at the sides of the cover, with key-hole openings 68. Brackets at the ends can be provided as desired.
The cable sleeve members can be positioned in either end of the housing and the cover 60 orientated to suit.
Alternatively, the cover can be provided with sections partially blanked but still in place, as knock-outs, at both ends, to enable the U-shaped slots to be provided at either end.
The enclosures of the invention provide a terminal 2n enclosure which can he used initially for any desired arrange~ent of cable entries, with one enclosure and two forms of cover. The entry arrangement can be varied at will without having to change the enclosure. This is particularly an advantage in the enclosure of Figures 1, 2 and 3 if it is desired to change the cable entry and/or exit positions once mounted, in that connections to the terminal pins do not have to be altered or remade. Normally changing the cable entry and exit positions in the example of Figures 12 and 13, once installed, is not done, but this possible.

Fi~ure 13 is a perspective view of a modified cover for use with the housin~ as in Figure 12.
As illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the enclosure has ~:
a housing 10 having base 11 and upturned ends 12 and 13, to form a trough shaped member. The side edges 14 of the ends are bent in as are also the edges of the base 11. A cover 16 having a top web 17 :
~L~5~135~
and sides 18, slides down into the housing to form the enclosure.
Extensions 19 on the top web provide mounting means, for example by keyhole apertures 20.
A hinged lid 22 is attached to the base of the housing for providing access, through a large aperture, not shown, in the base.
In each end 12 and 13 are two rectangular apertures 25 and 26. These are seen in Figures 4 and 5. Fitting in the apertures are alternatively blanking members 27 or cable sleeve members 28, as seen in Figures 1, 2 and 3. In Figures 1, 2 and 3, cables 29 and 30 are shown in the sleeves. Generally the enclosures will be provided with two sleeve members and two blanking members.
Figures 6, 7 and 8 illustrate a cable sleeve member 28, although a blanking member 27 is very similar in many respects. A
sleeve comprises a blanking portion 34 having two sheets of metal 35 and 36 ~joined together, as by spot welding. The outer sheet 35 is somewhat larger in width and height than the apertures 25 and 26.
The inner sheet 36 is narrower for most of the height but has two pro~jections 37 bent out and then back parallel to the inner sheet 35 to define two slots 387 a slot at the upper end of each side of the blanking portion 34, as seen in Figure 6. Also the bottom edge of the inner sheet is bent out and then back parallel to the inner sheet to define a transverse slot 39, along the bottom of the blanking portion 34, as seen in Figure 8. The slot 39 engages over the bottom of an aperture 25 or 26, and the slots 38 engage over the sides of an apertures 25 or 26 adjacent to the top. Once the cover 16 is on the housing the sleeves are held in place. An aperture 40 is formed . .

~15~85i~7 through the hlanking portion 34. Extendin~ from the sheets of metal 35 and 36 is a tubular member 41. As seen in Figure 8, the end of the tubular member is reduced in diameter on the outside and passes through the aperture 40 in the sheets, being dressed over at 42 on to the inner sheet to form an assembly. The cable end is passed through the tubular member and the tubular member crimped on to the outside of the cable.
The blankin~ members comprise ~just a blanking portion, comprising two sheets of metal attached together. The inner and outer sheets are as in the sleeve member with the exception that there is no tubular member and therefore no aperture through the sheets.
Figures 9, lO and ll illustrate how the enclosure is changed, from a cable entry at each end to two cables entering at the same end. Within the enclosure 10 is a terminal block 45, the terminal block having a plurality of terminal pins on the upper surface, the conductors from the cables 29 and 30 being connected to the pins. The pins connect to terminals in the block ~5. Typically housed within the terminal block 45 are surge and overvoltage 2n protectors which plug into the terminals, access being via the lid 22. At each side o~ the enclosure is a sheet of flexible plastic 46 which protects the conductors when the cover is applied, the sides 18 of the cover sliding down inside the side edges 14. However, this plastic sheet can be omitted.
In Fi~ure 9, the cable 29, in sleeve member 28, is inserted in aperture 25 at one end 12 and a blanking member 27 is in aperture 26 at the same end. Cable 309 in sleeve member 28 is in , ~:
. ..
.
, ~ ~ .
~L~LS4B~7 aperture 26 at the other end, 13, and a blanking member 27 is in aperture 27 at this end.
To change ends, for cable 29 as an example, the sleeve member 28 is slid up and out of the aperture 25 and cable and sleeve member mnved round, straightening the conductors, shown at 47. The plastic sheet 46 is bent down. The blanking member 27 is removed from aperture 25 at the same end 13 as cable 30 and reinserted in aperture 25 from which cable 29 and sleeve member 28 have been removed. This is the condition as illustrated in Figure 10.
1n Cable 29 and its sleeve member 28 is then moved round and the sleeve member inserted into the now open aperture 25~ The plastic sheet 46 closes up and the condition is as illustrated in Fiqure 11. Cable 30 can be moved from end 13 to end 12 in a similar manner, and if desired, both cables can be moved from entry positions at the same end for example end 13, to entry positions at the other ;
end, end 12.
The cover is held in place by screws ~8 passing through holes 49 in the ends 12 and 13, and entering threaded holes in hrackets attached to the top web 17 of the cover.
The term~nal enclosure may be required to be mounted in various ways and the alternative entries and exits as provided in the arrangement illustrated in Figures 1 to 11 provides for a variety of requirements wherein the cables need to enter and exit in a direction parallel to the top web 17 of the cover. Generally, in use, the cover 16 is the mounting base with the lid 22 readily accessible.
However, it is also sometimes required that the terminal enclosure be mounted on a frame or similar support, with the , ~L154857~
cables arriving perpendicular to the top web of the cover.
Figure 12 illustrates a housing, as in Figures 1 to 5 and 9, 10 and 11, in which a modified form of cable sleeve is provided. As illustrated in Figure 12, the housing 10 has a base and upturned ends 12 and 13. The side ed~es 14 of the ends are bent in, and also the edges of the base 11. This is the same form of housing and in each end are two rectangular apertures. At one end, end 13, as illustrated, the rectangular apertures are closed by blanking members 27. At the other end, end 12, two cable sleeve members 50 fit in the rectan~ular apertures.
The cable sleeve members have blanking portions 51 which are of the same form as the blanking portions forming the blanking members 27, that is having two sheets of metal attached together with projections and slots to enable them to fit into and be retained in the apertures. However, the outer sheet of metal is extended, at 52, and bent over to be perpendicular to portion 51, that is to extend inwards over the terminal block 45. In the portion 52 a hole is formed and a tubular member 53 is fitted therein. This part or portion 52 is similar to the cable sleeve member 28 of the previous embodiment, except that portion 52 is of only one sheet of rnetal. A threaded stud 5~ extends up from the portion 52, inward of the tubular member 53. A cable end 55 is shown in each tubular member or sleeve 53. The cable is secured in the sleeve by crimping for example.
