Abstract
Abstract A method for waterproofing a junction of branch wires with the main by enclosing the junction in a plastic cover containing a putty sealant and filling the inside of the cover with the sealant and a cover therefor are disclosed, the method comprising providing projections ( n and m ) on the inner side of cover ( 1 ) by which parallel wires ( b ) enfolded in the cover are vertically shifted or the parallel wires are not only vertically shifted but laterally spread by the projections to make enough space between adjacent wires ( b ) for letting the putty sealant in.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A method for waterproofing a junction of branch wires with the main comprising enfolding the junction in a cover while compressing a putty sealant in the cover to fill the inside of the cover with the sealant, in which projections are provided on the inner side of said cover in such a manner that parallel wires enfolded in the cover are vertically shifted by said projections to leave enough space between adjacent wires for letting said putty sealant in.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method for waterproofing a junction of branch wires with the main according to claim 1, in which said projections are provided in such a manner that parallel wires enfolded in the cover are vertically shifted and also laterally spread by said projections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
A method for waterproofing a junction of branch wires with the main according to Claim 2, wherein said lateral spreading and vertical shifting of the parallel wires are effected by utilizing the inner surface of a hinge of the cover as well as said projections provided on the inner side of the cover.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
79 words
A cover for waterproofing a junction of branch wires with the main in which the junction is enfolded in a cover while compressing a putty sealant in the cover to fill the inside of the cover with the sealant, comprising: projections provided on the inner side of said cover in such a manner that parallel wires enfolded in the cover are vertically shifted by said projections to leave enough space between adjacent wires for letting said putty sealant in.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A cover according to claim 4, in which said projections are provided in such a manner that parallel wires enfolded in the cover are vertically shifted and also laterally spread by said projections.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A cover according to claim 5, in which said projection are provided on the inner side of said cover for laterally spreading parallel wires enfolded therein and projections for vertically shifting said parallel wires at prescribed intervals in the width direction of the cover.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A cover according to claim 6, in which each of said projections having at least one side thereof tapered with the direction of the tapering of one projection being opposite to that of the adjacent projection.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
56 words
A cover according to claim 4, in which a hinge is provided with a hinge of said cover in such a manner that said lateral spreading and vertical shifting of the parallel wires are effected by utilizing the inner surface of said hinge as well as said projections provided on the inner side of the cover.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
A cover according to claim 4, in which said projections are provided on the upper and lower halves of the cover at positions shifted in the width direction of the cover.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
45 words
A cover according to claim 4, in which said projections are aligned in a plurality of lines perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cover at prescribed line intervals, with the positions of all the projections being different in the width direction of the cover.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
42 words
A cover according to any one of claims 4, in which a projection functioning as a diaphragm for blocking said putty sealant from overflowing to the end of the cover opposite to the direction toward the space formed among the parallel wires.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
52 words
A cover according to claim 4, wherein said cover is for a wire junction comprising a single wire on one end thereof and a plurality of parallel wires on the other end thereof, and a plurality of projections for curving said single wire are provided on the inner side of the cover.
