Abstract An electrical contact closure has at least one electrical conductor, a member having at least one opening therein sealed to the surface of the conductor, the exterior surface of the member being adhesive for removable contact with an adjacent electrical conductor. The electrical conductor has a contact portion or an attachment which protrudes from the surface of the conductor through the aperture in the member to make positive electrical connection with an associated electrical conductor. Such an electrical contact closure may also include an adjacent electrical conductor which has a similar member with at least one opening therein affixed to the surface of the second conductor and the exterior surface of the second member also being adhesive. The members are aligned so that they are removably held together to provide a closure and to provide positive electrical connection between adjacent electrical conductors. Such an electrical contact closure can also advantageously employ a gasket which is bonded to the electrical conductor and positioned within the member aperture.
An electrical contact closure comprising at least one electrical conductor, a member having at least one opening therein sealed to the surface of the conductor, the member including an adhesive exterior surface, a gasket in contact with the surface of the conductor and positioned within the opening in the member, and an electrical contact extending from the surface of the conductor through the opening in the member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
An electrical contact closure comprising at least one electrical conductor, a member having at least one opening therein sealed to the surface of the conductor, the member including an adhesive exterior surface, a gasket in contact with the surface of the conductor and positioned within the opening in the member, and an electrical contact extending from the surface of the conductor through the opening in the member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
An electrical contact closure comprising a pair of electrical conductors, a member portion having at least one opening therein sealed to the surface of each conductor, each member portion including an adhesive exterior surface, a gasket positioned within the opening in one of the member portions, and an electrical contact extending from the surface of one of the conductors through the opening in the member portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
An electrical contact closure comprising a pair of electrical conductors, a member portion having at least one opening therein sealed to the surface of each conductor, each member portion including an adhesive exterior surface, a gasket positioned within the opening in one of the member portions, and an electrical contact extending from the surface of one of the conductors through the opening in the member portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
An electrical contact closure as in claim 2, wherein a gasket portion is positioned within the opening of each of the member portions.
