Abstract

Abstract Metallic inner enclosure for an electrical cable connection, comprising a tubular central section and two end sections taperingly extending therefrom to shield layers of the cables, characterized in that the central section and the end sections are designed as separate parts, in that the one end part is introducable with its smaller end ahead through the other end of the central part into a plug connection provided at the other end of the central part, and in that the other end part is connectible at its larger end with the other end of the central part in a second plug connection.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 220 words
Metallic inner enclosure of an electrical cable connection, comprising a tubular central section (17) which surrounds the connection area and has a larger diameter than the cables (3, 5), and two tubular (preferably conical) end sections (19, 21) which extend taperingly from the central section (17) to shield layers (11, 13) of the cables, characterized in that the central section (17) is designed as a separate central part (23) and the end sections (19, 21) are designed as separate end parts (25, 27) in that the one end part (25) is introducable, with its smaller end (33) ahead, through the other end (53) of the central part (23) into the central part (23), in that a first mechanical plug connection (29) is provided at the larger end (49) of the one end part (25) and at the one end (51) of the central part (23) to be effective in the direction of introduction (47), and in that at the larger end (55) of the other end part (27) and at the other end (53) of the central part (23), a second mechanical plug connection (31) is provided which is effective in the direction of the introduction (47) and in which the other end part (27) can be fastened with its smaller end (35) facing away from the central part (23).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 220 words
Metallic inner enclosure of an electrical cable connection, comprising a tubular central section (17) which surrounds the connection area and has a larger diameter than the cables (3, 5), and two tubular (preferably conical) end sections (19, 21) which extend taperingly from the central section (17) to shield layers (11, 13) of the cables, characterized in that the central section (17) is designed as a separate central part (23) and the end sections (19, 21) are designed as separate end parts (25, 27) in that the one end part (25) is introducable, with its smaller end (33) ahead, through the other end (53) of the central part (23) into the central part (23), in that a first mechanical plug connection (29) is provided at the larger end (49) of the one end part (25) and at the one end (51) of the central part (23) to be effective in the direction of introduction (47), and in that at the larger end (55) of the other end part (27) and at the other end (53) of the central part (23), a second mechanical plug connection (31) is provided which is effective in the direction of the introduction (47) and in which the other end part (27) can be fastened with its smaller end (35) facing away from the central part (23).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
Inner enclosure according to claim 1, characterized in that the central part (23) comprises at least one filling opening (41).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
Inner enclosure according to claim 2, characterized in that the central part (23) furthermore comprises at least one vent opening (43).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
Inner enclosure according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the smaller ends (35) of the end parts (27) comprise feathered end areas (73, Fig. 2) for enclosing a shield layer (13) of the associated cable (5).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 37 words
Inner enclosure according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the central part (23) and at least one of the end parts (25, 27) comprise markings (57, 59, 61, 63) for designating the associated parts.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 27 words
Inner enclosure according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the plug connections (29, 31) are designed in the manner of tin can-­lid plug connections.
Claim 8
