Definitions

  • FIG. 5 is an elevation view of the back side of the splicing apparatus with the protective housing removed.
  • a pair of fingers 47 are each pivotally and slidably mounted on a respective guide rod 43 by same extending through a guide bore 48 with the fingers 47 being contained between two walls defining a respective slot 49 whereby the fingers 47 are moveable with the support block 44 along the guide rods 43.
  • a link 52 has opposite ends with one end pivotally connected to an upper end 53 of the arm 36 and the other end pivotally connected to the support block 44, whereby movement ofthe arm 37 reciprocably moves the support block 44 and the fingers 47 along the guide rods 43.
  • clockwise movement of the arm 36 effects movement of the support block 44 toward the wire receiving position and counter clockwise movement of the arm 36 effects movement of the support block 44 away from the wire receiving position.
  • Springs 54 are secured to portions of the fingers 47 and the support block 44 and bias connector sleeve engaging detent portions or ends 55 to move toward the support 12 and into the slots 42 (FIG. 7.)
  • the apparatus 1 is mounted on a carriage 232which in the illustrated structure is comprised of two elongate rod members 233 secured to and eX- tending between two upright structural members 234 for supporting the rods 233.
  • the rods 233 are vertically spaced apart and have slideably mounted thereon brackets 234 which are secured to the housing 229.
  • the apparatus 1 is movable horizontally along the rods 233 and a lock or stop 236 is provided to retain the apparatus l in the desired position for use. Movement of the apparatus 1 permits positioning of the connector sleeves 2 along the length of the splice between the cables 3 and 4 so as to reduce the size of the finished splice.
  • the lever arm 113 effects and times movement of the loading arms 99 and 100 whereby same simultaneously move to a wire depositing position. as illustrated in FIG. 15, with the fingers 105 holding and controlling the wires 8 within the respective connector sleeves 2. With the arms 99 and 100 in the wire depositing position, the slide 13 continues upward movement whereby the cams 81 move the crimping jaws 73 to ward the anvil 76 to partially crimp the connector sleeves 2.
  • said crimping members includes an anvil on said support and positioned between said jan portions with said jaw portions being movable toward and away from the anvil for crimping a respective connector sleeve therebetween.
  • said connector sleeve moving means includes:
  • connector sleeve feed means mounted on said support member and having reciprocably movable fingers each engageable with a respective open sided connector sleeve for moving and indexing a connector sleeve into the respective connector sleeve receiving position with said connector sleeves being in side by side relation
  • said feed means includes a housing movably mounted on said support member and having channels therein positioned on opposite sides of the support member and defining a path of movement for said connector sleeves, said connector sleeves each being a leading one of an elongate chain of end-to-end relation connector sleeves;
  • crimping members each pivotally mounted on an opposite side of said support member and having a jaw portion positioned adjacent said connector sleeve receiving position and movable toward and away from said anvil forming portion for simultaneously crimping a pair of connector sleeves therebetween onto respective wires, said crimping members each having an arm portion;
  • second cam means mounted on said slide member tion to retain same thereat, said gripping members being operably connected to said slide member to effect and time movement thereof.
