  • PATENTED NOV 6 I975 SHEET u BF 4 APPARATUS FOR JOINING MULTI-STRAND CABLES This invention relates to a method and apparatus for joining multi-strand cables and more particularly for simultaneously joining conductor ends of multiconductor electric cables during a splicing operation. Before the conductors are joined a part of the cable jacket is removed and the conductors, including the ground leads, are cut to proper length and the insulation removed from the conductors. Two conductor ends with the same polarity are then inserted into a copper sleeve or the like and the ends of the sleeve crimped so as to join the previously severed conductors.
  • the crimping was commonly done with hand tools with the conductors being connected successively and not simultaneously.
  • the operation of these hand tools was normally based on a fixed final configuration of crimp without regard to variations in the wall thickness and volume of the connectors being crimped. This often leads to insufficient pull out strength of the joint or to excessive reduction in the cross section of the conductor with resultant early fatigue failure. Also, unequal lengths of the crimped conductors in the same cable often occurred with resultant early failure of the shortest conductor since it carried the whole load applied to the cable.
  • Another object is to provide such a device which results in substantially constant pull out strength of all the joined conductors in the cable.
  • a further object is to provide such a device which can be readily adapted to crimp conductors of various sizes and shapes.
  • a still further object is to provide such a device which is easy to operate and maintain. 7
  • Still another object is to provide a method of connecting matching ends of two conductors of two multiconductor cables.
