  • Material selection for the closure of present invention requires good bonding capabilities to provide proper sealing as well as providing resistance to contamination, moisture and pressure. Bonding of joints to be sealed involves bonding of the selected material to itself, to end seals, cables and to sealants which may be used. Since sealing is accomplished by heating, the selected material must also be suitably responsive to fusion bonding. As such, polyolefin or polyolefin elastomers are suitable and of that group, the flexible ethylene alphaolefin copolymer sold under the name ENGAGE by the Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Michigan, is preferred. Material selection for the sealant of the present invention requires an affinity to produce satisfactory fusion bonding. Thus, where a sealant is used in the present invention there are several alternatives.
  • a suitable bond may be in some instances accomplished by resistance heating of abutting surfaces by the placement of a resistive wire at or near the abutting surfaces. Electrical stimulation of the wire will heat surrounding material sufficiently to bond all heated abutting surfaces, and with pressure applied through the curing process, suitable welds can be produced.
  • the resistive wire can be in the typical round wire form and can be coated with a suitable sealant material such as polyethylene. Electrical stimulation of the wire will heat the surrounding sealant material and the abutting surfaces to be sealed. All abutting surfaces can be sealed in this manner enhanced by the additional or surplus sealant material which will assist in providing suitable seals with pressure applied through the curing process.
  • a susceptor containing material can be added to the sealant which absorbs RF energy and transfers it into heat energy.
  • the wire is preferably copper and functions as an antenna.
  • the heat produced causes the susceptor containing material including a polyethylene or polyolefin elastomer binder and the abutting surfaces to be sealed.
  • sealing is enhanced by the additional or surplus material which will assist in providing suitable seals with pressure applied through the curing process. While it is not necessary to discuss every possible iteration of combining sealant material, susceptor material and wire types, it is clear that sealing is enhanced in view of the foregoing.
  • a further embodiment illustrates a fine diameter polymer rod 70, Fig. 6, spiral wound with a resistive wire 72.
  • This configuration can be inserted in the openings through the entire length of the tongues in place of wires 30, 32, Fig. 1, to provide the fusion bonding previously described. Also, this configuration can be coated with a polymer material to encase the rod 70 and the spiral wound wire 72.
  • a still further embodiment utilizes the spiral wound wire concept by utilizing an enlarged diameter rod 70, Fig. 7, spiral wound with resistive wire 72 and placed in opposed grooves 74 in mating flanges 76.
  • This configuration replaces the tongue and groove concept described above. Bonding is accomplished by energizing the resistive wire 72 using an AC or DC power source, as previously discussed, to fuse the rod 70 in the grooves 74. Pressure, applied by clamps 78, Fig. 8, will urge wire 72 into the mating flanges 76. Material 73 from rod 70 and flanges 76 will flow and create a seal between the enclosure body halves (not shown) attached to the flanges 76. Uniquely, the spiral wound resistive wire 72 becomes embedded into the flanges 76 providing additional mechanical strength to the bond.
  • wires are placed in openings provided in a tongue of two mating flanges on one side of the closure body halves and in a tongue of two mating flanges on the opposite side of the closure body halves.
  • the double tongue and groove connections are mechanically engaged on opposite sides of the closure body.
  • Heat applied to the wires bonds one of the tongue and groove connections and a parallel, spaced apart tongue and groove connection provides mechanical support and pressure until the bond cures to form a seam seal along both sides of the length of the closure body.
  • a rod having a spiral wound resistive wire thereon is placed along a groove formed in mating flanges of closure body halves. Clamps are used to urge the flanges together. Heat applied to the wire causes the rod, and groove adjacent the rod, to flow and create a seal between the flanges. The resistive wire becomes imbedded into the flanges providing mechanical strength to the bond.
  • the principal advantage of the present invention is that it provides a double tongue and groove connection on each side of the cable splice closure body, whereby one interlocked tongue and groove serves as a mechanical engagement providing support and pressure until electromagnetic or resistive wire melting of the other interlocked tongue in the corresponding groove cools to form a lengthwise seal.
  • the space between the parallel tongue and groove connections is sufficient to isolate the unheated tongue and groove connection and limit the bonding to the heat applied tongue and groove, i.e. , where the wire extends through the tongue.
  • One projecting tongue can contain a resistive wire encased in a suitable thermoplastic or heat fusible material having a useful softening or melting temperature, such as low density polyethylene or an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer.
  • the resistive wire could be of stainless steel or nickel/chromium or any other suitable material with a round, oval or rectangular cross section.
  • the projecting tongue could include a cooper wire encased in a coating of suitable material, as described above, containing susceptor composite flakes.
  • susceptor composite flakes refers to radio frequency power absorbing materials comprising plurality of multilayered flakes made of thin film crystalline ferromagnetic metal layers, such as a NiFe alloy, stacked alternately with thin film dielectric layers, such as SiO.
  • the coating refers to dispersing about 1 to about 10 percent susceptor composite flakes in a suitable binder, such as polyethylene.
  • the use of the susceptor composite flakes provides a method of bonding two objects together using radio frequency power at a frequency of about 5 to about 6000 MHz in the form of an oscillating magnetic field which intersects the susceptor composite flakes so that heat is generated which melts the coating and fuses, bonding the objects together.
  • the two double tongue and groove parts should be snapped together in an interlocked fashion and sealing accomplished, for example, by energizing the resistive wire in the tongue with direct or alternating current necessary to soften or melt the tongue to cause it to flow into the grooved gripping slots.
  • the other interlocked tongue and groove would then serve as a mechanical device providing support and pressure until the first interlocked melted tongue cooled to form a horizontal or lengthwise seam seal into the grooved slot.
  • the susceptor coated wire in the projecting tongue could be activated by an oscillating magnetic field from a radio frequency power source to soften or melt the tongue to cause it to flow and create a seal into the grooved slot after cooling.
  • a bead of low energy surface adhesive could be placed in each grooved slot and the projecting tongue from the other corresponding part interlocked in place. The interlocked assembly would provide mechanical support and pressure until the adhesive cured to form rigid horizontal or lengthwise seam seals.
  • the term low energy surface adhesive refers to an adhesive based on standard acrylic monomers with organo borane/amine complexes, and may include a polyurethane, an epoxy or a polyaziridine. The above-described adhesive provides bond strengths similar to fusion bonding.
  • the closure body portion could be prepared from any semirigid or flexible material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, an ethylene/alphaolefin copolymer or any other suitable material.
  • Another alternative provides for a polymer rod including a spiral wound resistive wire, to create a fusion bond between mating flanges of the splice closure body halves, and the wire becomes imbedded in the flanges to provide mechanical strength to the bond.
  • Utility of the invention allows the cable splice closure to form an air tight, pressure and moisture seal to external elements.
  • Basic features of the closure provide total seal integrity between the two main portions which comprise the closure body, end seal body portions and the cables extending therethrough. Furthermore, the use of a fusion bonded sealant provides for facilitated installation.
