Definitions
- a keeper element which includes apertures to facilitate retention of a band or tie string that secures to the clamp all the wires extending from the connector.
- the bundle of wires extending from the connector is thereby gripped in a firm and immovable position so that all axial and radial movement of the wires which might occur in operation is prevented from being transmitted to the point of connection of the several wires with the connector contacts.
- One or more apertures in the keeper element makes it possible to secure many or as few as one wire extending from the connector in the aforementioned manner to prevent breaking the connection point of a wire to a contact.
- FIGURE 6 FIGURE 3 FIGURE I FIGURE 2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
- This invention relates to electrical connectors of the type having multiple attachment points for the connection of the ends of several wires and more particularly to a strain relief clamp adapted for attachment to the electrical connector to secure the wires extending from the connector as a bundle in substantially fixed position to prevent stresses from breakingone or more of the connection points of any of the several wires to the contacts of the connector.
- Wires, connected to electrical connectors, are relatively flexible and are especially subject to wear and tear adjacent to their point of connection to the contacts of the connector. This is particularly'true of the wires to the plug element of a connector assembly since the plug is movable as compared to the receptacle which in some cases remains in a fixed position when mounted to supporting structures such as a wall or bulkhead. During normal operation and use of the connector assembly, any one or more of the wire terminations may become impaired and/or broken. Stresses on the wires to the connector are aggravated by the fact that in many instances stresses are placed on the connections as the wires areforced into out-of-the-way places and small areas.
- strain relief clamp was developed in the form of a generally tapered fitting which is secured to and projects from the connector, a smaller outer end of which is adjustable to clampingly engage and secure the wires into a bundle. Movement and flexing of the several wires along their lengths is thereby prevented from passing this clamp and being transmitted to the point of the connection of the wires to the contacts of the connector.
- Examples of a strain relief clamp for a single cable containing multiple wires may be found in US. Pat. No. 1,874,334 entitled Locking Means for Separable Electric Fittings, issued August 30, 1932 to A. H. Nero; US. Pat. No. 2,276,818 entitled Electrical Connecting Device, issued March 17, 1942 to BC. Bellows, Jr.; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,603,913 entitled Strain Relief Clamp for Electrical Wiring Connector,” issued Sept. 7, 1971 to John M. Hasty, Jr.
- these fittings have been lightened as much as possible by the removal of large portions of the material in the tapered section between fitting ends so that the ultimate part comprises in effect a pair of concentric rings.
- the larger of these rings is adapted to attach to a standard electrical connector (plug or receptacle) while the smaller ring is adapted to clampingly engage the wire bundle.
- This invention provides a strain relief clamp for an electrical connector that prevents stresses and strains from being transmitted to the junction of the incoming wires and electricalcontacts regardless of: the number of wires coming into the connector.
- the invention is a strain relief clamp for an electrical connector characterized by a keeper element (40) that has a plurality of fingers (41,42,43) that in conjunction with a connecting member (44) define one or more openings (45,46) that receive a tying strap or the like for tying one or more wires to the strain relief clamp.
- Tying straps generally have a larger cross-section at one end and therefore when they are passed through an aperture (45,46) in the keeper section (40) the straps when opened are retained and are less likely to be misplaced or lost.
- the strain relief clamp on electrical connectors of the type having multiple attachment points for the connections of the ends of several wires extending therefrom comprises: an attaching member (10*) for attaching the clamp to the connector, the attaching member including engagement means (11) for the connection of the clamp to the connector;-and an arm (20,30), carried by and extending in a direction away from the attaching member, the arm terminating in a keeper element (40) which is formed by a plurality of spaced fingers (41,42,43) which extend from the arm in a direction away from the attaching memberto terminate at a connecting member (44) which is connected to each of the fingers to define therewith at least one.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a strain relief clamp which utilizes the principles of this invention.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of a strain relief clamp shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is an end view of the strain relief clamp shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 is an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. is a diagrammatic view of the alternate em-- bodiment shown in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 illustrates how the objects of this invention are achieved when the strain relief clamp is used in combination with an electrical connector.
- FIG. 7 is an alternate embodiment of the invention where the wires leaving the connector element are required to turn at a 90-degree angle.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a strain relief clamp having an attachment member 10, for connecting the strain relief clamp to the electrical connector; an arm which includes a root end 20, and a converging portion 30 which extends away from the attaching member a plurality of fingers 41, 42, 43 extending away from the attaching member; and a connecting member 44 which is connected to each of the fingers to define therewith apertures 45, 46.
- the fingers 41, 42, 43 and the member 44 combine to form what is called a keeper element 40 which receives a strap or the like which is used for tying one or more electrical conductors to the strain relief clamp.
- FIG. 2 illustrates another view of the strain relief clamp shown in FIG. 1.
- This view illustrates that the keeper element 40 includes a shoulder 49 that faces in the direction of the attaching member 10.
- the shoulder 49 together with the step formed between the attaching member 10 and the keeper element 40 operate to confine a strap or the like therebetween which has not passed through one of the apertures 45 in the keeper element 40. Confinement of a strap (not shown) prevents a strap, tied to the clamp, from sliding off the strain relief clamp and thereby losing the benefit of the strain relief clamp.
- FIG. 3 is an end view of the strain relief clamp shown in FIG. 1 that illustrates the arcuate shape of the arm.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the invention wherein the arm 20, extending from theattaching member 10 does not include a step before the keeper element 40.
- the arm has a relatively wide root end that narrows outwardly to terminate in a keeper element 40 that includes one or more apertures 45 and a shoulder 49 facing in the direction of the attaching member 10.
- the arm 20 is an arcuate member that extends around a portion of the ring-shaped attaching member 10 a sufficient distance to give the arm 20 radial rigidity.
- FIG. 5 is another view of the strain relief clamp shown in FIG. 4 and illustrates how the keeper element 40 would confine a strap or other tying means between the shoulder 49 and the junction of the fingers 41, 42, 43 with the arm 20.
- FIG. 6 illustrates how the strain relief clamp 1 is used in combination with an electrical connector to accomplish the objects of the invention.
- the electrical connector 50 receives a large number of wires 70 therefore the tying means or strap 60 is not placed through one of the apertures in the strain relief clamp but instead is wrapped around the keeper element and the wires to retain the wires in a relatively fixed position.
- the attaching member 10 is ring-shaped to match the configuration of the electrical connector 50 and includes a plurality of threads 11 that engage the threads on the electrical connector 50 for attaching the ring 10 to the electrical connector 50.
- knurles or the like 12 are disposed around the periphery of the attaching member 10.
- the strain relief clamp 1 could have achieved the same purposes as illustrated by passing the strap 60 through one of the apertures and tying the wire 70 to one of the fingers of the strain relief clamp.
- straps 60 or othertying means ideally suited for this application are disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,186,047 issued to D. P. Schwester et a]., June 1, 1965; and US. Pat. No. 3,197,829 entitled Binder Strap issued Aug. 3, I965 to J. E. Caveney et al.
- the latter patent illustrates a binder strap that has one end of a larger cross-section than the other end which therefore allows the binder strap, when placed through one of the apertures, to be retained by the keeper element. This feature is quite practical because it prevents the binder strap from being mislaid when maintenance has been performed on the electrical connector, which occurs frequently.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an alternate embodiment to the invention shown in FIG. 1.
- the wires (not shown) would leave the clamp at a right angle as the arm 20 extends at a right angle away from the attaching member 10.
- the arm 20 could extend across the attaching member 20.
- the attaching ring 10 may include a slot therein so that the attaching member extends less than 360. This feature would allow the passage of a wire through the ring-shaped attachment member 10 without necessitating the removal of the strain relief clamp and all the wires from the connector when adding an additional wire.
- any slot in the attaching member can be approximately equal to the wire diameter so as not to unduly weaken the strain relief clamp structurally when threaded onto the electrical connector.
- the arm may have portions cut away completely so as to lighten the structure. Also, all though the arm is shown extending inwardly the strain relief clamp arm could extend outwardly at right angles to the attaching member 10 and still perform its function. Accordingly, it is intended that the illustrative and descriptive materials herein be used to illustrate the principles of the invention and not to limit the scope thereof.
