Definitions

  • the disclosure is directed to a connector for coupling the sheath of a shielded cable to a ground point.
  • the connector comprises a central portion having strengthening ribs thereon and two outrigging members to provide strain relief to the insulating jacket of the conductor adjacent the central portion of the connector,
  • the entire connector is generally C-shaped having a first curved portion with a smaller radius than the second curved portion so that the ends thereof are free to move in overlapping, wrapping relationship as the connector is coupled about the conductor.
  • the central portion further includes an aperture, and a tab entering into said aperture, said tab being curved inwardly of the area generally defined by the C- shape, in such a manner that the bared portion of a grounding conductor can be inserted therein and trapped by the collapsing of the tab as the connector is attached to the conductor.
  • the connector may be provided in noninsulated, or insulated, versions.
  • a second form of the connector provides a grounding tab extending from an out-rigging member thereof which may be directly plugged into a grounding connector.
  • a further version of the device provides the central portion of the connector with insulation piercing teeth for contact with the conductor sheath without the requirement for prestripping of the insulating outer jacket.
  • Field of the Invention The invention is directed to the field of grounding the sheath of shielded conductors:
  • the present invention overcomes the difficulties noted above with respect to prior art devices by providing a simple, rapidly installed connector for attaching a ground point to one or more shielded conductors. This is accomplished by means of a connector which is generally in a C-shaped configuration having a first end curved in a smaller radius than the second end such that as the connector is wrapped about the conductor the portion having the smaller'radius will move within the portion having the larger radius while the other moves to the outer portion of that portion having the smaller radius. Because of the manner of overlapping wrapped relationship of the connector to the conductor itself, a single connector can be employed with a variety of sizes of conductors while providing satisfactory grounding.
  • the connector is applied over the exposed portion of the sheath of the shielded conductor.
  • the connector is constructed of a central portion having two strengthening ribs running its length and having in its central portion thereof an aperture with a tab extending therefrom.
  • the tab is fabricated to have a generally curved form and extends within the area generally defined by the C-shaped connector.
  • a tab is provided depending from one of the strain relief members and omitting the central aperture and tab whereby the depending tab may then be inserted into a grounding connector without the requirement for additional grounding conductors.
  • insulation piercing teeth are placed upon the central portion of the connector whereby it is unnecessary to preexpose the sheath of the shielded conductor in that the teeth are pennitted to pass through the outer insulating jacket and make contact with the sheath of the shielded conductor.
  • the connector may be provided in bare or preinsulated form.
  • a layer of insulation is placed upon the outer surface, that is away from the surface from which the tab extends, havingportions of the insulation extending beyond the boundaries of the connector itself.
  • the insulating material is folded back upon itself and bonded directly to the material of the connector along the connector length and bonded to itself in the portions adjacent the connector whereby the connector is prevented from moving laterally with respect to the insulation and separating therefrom.
  • Temperature setting, or unctuous materials may be employed about the peripheral edges of the connector so that when the connector is placed around a conductor a moisture seal is provided, It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an improved connector for coupling a ground point to the sheath of a shielded conductor.

  • FIG. 12 is a side elevation of the conductor of FIG. 11 having attached thereto the connector of FIG. 1 having a ground lead positioned therein;
  • Connector 20 has a central portion 22 having formed thereon strengthening ribs 24. Outrigged from the central portion 22 are a pair of strain relief shoulder 26 held to the central portion 22 by means of the members 28 and separated by apertures 29. Formed in the central portion 22 is an aperture 30 and a tab 32 which extends within the aperture 30.
  • the tab 32 is preformed in a curved manner to permit the insertion between the central portion 22 and the tab 32 of the hated portion of an insulated ground conductor or a bare ground conductor (not shown).
  • the entire connector 20 is formed in a generally C-shaped,
  • the edge 34 will be permitted to trace a path along the inner surface of the lower curved portion while the edge 36 traverses the outer will be flattened in the direction generally towards the central portion 22 as the overall connector 20 is tightly fastened about the sheath of the shielded conductor.
  • the tip 38 of the tab 32 will be permitted, under certain conditions of size of the ground conductor and the shielded conductor, to enter the aperture 30 and anchor itself at the back surface of the connector 20. In other instances the tip 38 of the tab 32 may ride along the inner surface of the connector 20, or take any position intermediate.
  • a grounding connector placed within the tab 32 is urged towards the point of jointure of the tab 32 with the connector 20 thus increasing the mechanical holding and locking action of the connector 20 with respect to a grounding conductor.
  • either of the strain relief members 26 will also act as a strain relief and further provide holding for the ground conductor as it is passed under connector 20, that is between the body of the connector 20 and the sheath of the shielded conductor.
  • the strain relief members 26 will also grasp the jacket portion of the shielded conductor adjacent the exposed sheath to provide additional strain relief for the connection and also to prevent unwanted separation of the insulation from the sheath of the cable as a result of the breaching of a portion of the insulating jacket.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 there is shown a second emthe concepts of the invention.
  • the connector blank 51 is, in all mechanical detail, the same as connector 20 of FIGS. 1 and through 3 with the addition of aninsulating layer 52 thereof thereover.
  • Insulating layer 52 is larger than the connector blank 51 having overlapping tabs 54 and 56.
  • the overlapping tab portions are folded back to cover the opposite sides of the connector blank 51 to which the layer 52 is applied.
  • Layer 52 will then be bonded at the overlapping portions 54 to connector blank 51 material where an insulation to material contact exists and to itself beyond the connector blank 51 as at 58.
  • the bonding achieved between the material of the connector blank 51 and the insulating material 52, as well as the bonding of the insulating material 52 to the overlapping tabs 54 and 56 will prevent separation of the insulating layer 52 from the connector blank 51 and will prevent the connector blank 51 from being displaced laterally with respect to the insulating layer 52.
  • FIG. 5 there is shown a further embodiment of a connector 70 constructed in-accordance with the concepts of the invention omitting the necessity for the introduction of a grounding conductor and providing a grounding tab 72 formed as an integral portion of the connector 70.
  • Central portion 22 of the connector 70 is shown to be without an aperture equivalent to aperture 30. of FIG. 1 and omits the tab 32, also shown in FIG. 1.
  • the outrigging strain relief member 26, to the left of FIG. 5, is extended to provide a grounding tab 72.
  • the grounding tab 72 may be placed at either one of the outrigging strain relief members 26, 26' or there may be such grounding tabs extending from both of the strain relief members 26, 26.
  • the grounding tab 72 will be made of sufiicient length so that it may be plugged into an appropriate grounding terminal (not shown).
  • FIG. 6 a further embodiment of a connector constructed in accordance with the concepts of the invention is shown.
  • the connector 80 of FIG. 6 is similar to connector 20 of FIG. 1 with the exception of the addition of insulating piercing teeth 82 placed upon the central portion 22". In this arrangement it will not be necessary to prestrip, or expose, the sheath of the shielded conductor; instead the connector 80 will be attached over the outer insulating jacket of the shielded conductor and pulled tight so that the teeth 82 may pierce the outer insulated jacket and contact the sheath below.
  • the teeth 82 will be of sufficient size and strength to permit piercing of the outer insulating jacket and of sufficient length to contact the sheath therethrough but not of sufiicient length to cut through the sheath and enter the insulation extending between the central conductor and the sheath.
  • FIG. 7 through 10 the assembly of connector 20 of FIG. 1 to the sheath 102 of the shielded conductor is shown.
  • outer insulating jacket 104 has been stripped back to expose the sheath 102.
  • the sheath 102 has been cut so as to expose the insulator 106 of the central conductor.
  • the arrangement shown in FIG. 7 is termed an end type of termination.
  • the grounding conductor 110 has its insulated outer jacket 112 stripped back to expose the grounding conductor 114. The bare portion of the conductor 114 is then inserted under the tab 32 of the connector 20.
  • Connector 20, with the grounding conductor 110 in place, is then placed about the shielded connector 100 such that a first of the strain relief members 26 extends over the outer insulating jacket 104. It should be noted at this time that the position of the grounding conductor 110 is such that as it extends from the tab 32 out from the connector 20 it will also be placed under the strain relief member 26 engaging the outer jacket v 104 of the shielded conductor 100.
  • the central conductor insulated by insulating jacket 106 extendsto the'right hand portion of FIG. 9.
  • a suitable tool (not shown) is applied to tighten the connector20 about the shielded conductor I00. As a result of the wrapping overlapping action tightening the connector 20 upon the conductor 100, tab 32 as was described with reference to FIGS.
  • strain relief member 26 extending closest to the central conductor insulation 106 of the conductor 100, will not be in contact with either the sheath or the central conductor insulator 106 If a connection was to be made, for example, to a plastic terminating pin, the strain relief member 26 would engage the terminal pin and provide strain relief to prevent separation of the terminal pin from the conductor 100.
  • FIG. 11 there is shown the preparation of a shielded conductor 100 wherein-the insulated outer jacket 104 is stripped midspan to expose a portion of the sheath 120 therebetween.
  • This arrangement is generally-what is referred to as a midspan tap termination in that the ground connection is to be made at other than the end portions of the conductor 100.
