Abstract
An assembly or system which is capable of attaching two electric cables (each carrying several wires) along their common axis thus causing the connection to be less prone to wear and tear and ensuing strain on the connection than with the current common household method of connection where cable wires are attached to each other individually giving rise to a connection which is bulkier and more prone to wear and tear and ensuing breakage than is the case with this invention.
Description
Multi-Electric-Wire Axial Connector The Problem Currently, electrical cables carrying several wires (e.g. a 3 wire household extension cable), when broken, are repaired with single connectors for each wire. For example three connectors are required to repair a cut cable. This method also leads to a "star" shape of connection with the number of star points being the number of wires in each cable (see Sketch 'A'). The connection is bulky and has to be compressed before being protected from dampness and wear and tear etc..
The invention The invention described herein is a connector for joining two electrical cables in an axial line rather than radially as is the common method.
As per sketch 'B', attached, the invention consists of two parts or conduits -one for each cable. Part A is a conduit with 3 chambers (in this case the illustration of one of a three wire cable - but this number can be extended by allowing a chamber for each wire in an arrangement with fewer or more than 3 wires) Part B is a conduit with 3 "leaves" radiating out frcm its axis. These "leaves° are attached to an end-plate making the single unit (B). Each wire is fed into the gap between these leaves via a corresponding hole in the end-plate.
The assembly: Part B with its wires are inserted into Part A with its wires The wires in part A correspond to those in part B (i.e. ground to ground etc.).
The parts are then rotated so as to press the wires together. The pressure is maintained by, for example, a clip - or alternatively a locking nut or equivalent locking mechanism.
The number of wires accommodated by this invention is not limited to three, since the number of chambers and "leaves" can be increased to four and more -see sketch 'C'. Similarly, the principle can be used for cables having one wire or two wires.

Claims
THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
An assembly or system enabling two electrical cables each carrying several wires to be connected in line with their common axis An assembly as claimed in which two significant parts - the first part having chambers to accept wires from one cable, and the second part having "leaves"
to hold the corresponding wires from the second cable (which "leaves" allow the corresponding wire-pairs to remain separate from other wire-pairs when the assembly is tightened), when joined and rotated, cause the pairs of wires to come together thus making a connection parallel to the common axis of the cables.
An assembly as claimed in which one significant part has a novel feature, herein named "leaves", which radiate from the axis of connection, to guide the wires and allow corresponding wire-pairs to remain separate from other wire-pairs.
