support. to form a conductor cable which is substantially Still further objects of the invention and fearound in cross section, which is very flexible,.-and 55 which can be distorted slightly by radial compression.
The structure illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4 and Fig. 8 is a plug of the assembled type, the parts 7 thereof being detachably secured together in order to facilitate assembly upon a conductor cable, as well as repair of replacement. In such structure, contact blades H are held rigidly in spaced parallel relation by a disc |5 of insulating material, the blades |4 passing through holes IS in the disc I5 and having their rear portions bent against the rear surface of the disc and secured in place by rivets l8 which pass through the disc and such portions H. In order to connect the conductors l2 electrically to the respective contact blades H, the portions I! are threaded to receive screws l 9, by which the bared ends of the conductors may be held thereto. Screws 20 are also passed through the disc |5 from the front and are threaded into anchor members 2| embedded in a cover 22 of molded insulating material, to hold the disc l5 and its contacts assembled in such cover. A strain relief member 23, which may be formed of rubber or any other suitable material is located within the cover 22 to the rear of the disc l5, and is provided with openings 24 therethrough to receive the conductors l2, the cords l3 being passed around the member 23, and knotted as shown in Fig. 3. It will be understood that such structure prevents any tendency toward impairment of the electrical connection of the conductors to the contact blades by endwise strains on the cable, since such strains are transmitted directly to the cover 22, through the strain relief member.
As shown the cover 22 is roughly frustro-conical in shape, widened at the front end to receive the disc l5, which is clamped against an annularinner seat 25 in the cover by the screws 20. At its rear end the cover 22 is formed with an opening 26 which receives the conductor cable and communicates with the enlarged recess in which the disc l5, strain relief member 23 and other parts are housed. The rear portion of the cover 22 is preferably flared outwardly away from the cablereceiving opening 26 to form an annular rounded surface 21 in order to prevent sharp bending of the conductor cable.
The cover member 22 may be conveniently formed of any suitable molded insulating material such as vulcanized rubber or other rigid compound of that nature, but is preferably formed of molded soft rubber or similar yieldable mate- .rial in order to preclude injury by impact with other objects. In accordance with the present invention, the cover 22 is provided with a laterally extending projection 28, preferably integral with the cover, having a notch 29 therein so as to form outwardly extending fingers 30 which are so spaced circumferentially that the conductor cable can beforced between them and will be frictionally held in the notch. The ends of the fingers 30 are preferably curved slightly toward each other, so that the notch 29 is circular in shape for about 270 degrees to form a. throat 3| narrower than the diameter, and then flaring outwardly, as shown at 32, to facilitate entry of the cable into the notch. It will be understood that, if the cover 22 and the projection 28 are formed of rigid material, the Width of the throat 3| must be such that the cable II can be compressed sufliciently to enter it. If the projection 28 is formed of soft rubber, or similar material, the throat 3| can be wider because the fingers 30 can be bent apart to facilitate entry of the cable, and the resilience of both i the cable and the fingers 30 can be relied upon to hold the parts engaged.
In Figs. 5 to '7 the invention is illustrated in a plug of soft rubber molded permanently upon the conductor cable. Such plug is formed by removing the insulation of a conductor cable 33 at its end to bare the insulated conductors 34, the insulation being also removed from the ends of such conductors so that they may bereversely bent, as shown at 35, in Fig. 7, and electrically connected to contact blades 36 by rivets 31, or in any desired manner. In constructing such a structure, the parts are held in their proper relationship and the plug body 38 of soft rubber is molded about them. The molded plug body 38 is provided, as shown in Figs. 5 to 'l, with two diametrically positioned notches 39 spaced circumferentially between the contact blades 36. Such notches 38, as in the modification shown in Figs. 1 to 4, are substantially circular for about 270 degrees, with a throat 40 between fingers 4|, the end faces of which flare outwardly as shown at 42. It will be apparent that only a single notch could be provided, if desired. .The rear portion of the plug body as shown is of rectangularshape in crosssection, the wide flattened surfaces 42 curving outwardly to meet the edge of the front face of the plug which is preferably circular except for the intersection by the notches. In the construction shownthe provision of two notches facilitates attachment of the plug to, or detachment from,
the bight of the conductor cable, since one notch can be widened through distortion of the plug body by squeezing together circumferentially the fingers at the sides of the other notch.
It will be apparent that, in either modification, the plug can be readily attached to any convenient part of the conductor cable, and that the clamping effect of the fingers 30, or 4 will be sufficient to hold the plug from sliding lengthwise of the cable and to hold the plug from accidental displacement from the cable. The structure is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and affords a readily usable and effective means of holdin the plug in such a way as to prevent uncoiling of the cable and minimize the danger of impact of the plug with other objects.
