Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A cable plug for attachment or mutual connection of electrical cable lines and adapted particularly for use in measuring and monitoring with piezoelectric signal generators, comprising: a plug casing having an opening therEthrough; an insulative insert received within the plug casing opening of external dimensions slightly less than those of said casing opening, said insert including a bore hole for each cable conductor; a prestressed, radially resilient sleeve received onto said insulative insert and resiliently contacting both said insert and the plug casing walls defining the plug casing; and a generally cylindrical contact element having a longitudinal slit received in prestressed condition within each bore hole, snugly conforming to the bore hole walls, said element having first and second longitudinally spaced lamination means which are radially resilient, one end of the contact element receiving a contact pin provided at the end of the cable conductor and the other contact element end for receiving a further pin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
A cable plug for attachment or mutual connection of electrical cable lines and adapted particularly for use in measuring and monitoring with piezoelectric signal generators, comprising: a plug casing having an opening therEthrough; an insulative insert received within the plug casing opening of external dimensions slightly less than those of said casing opening, said insert including a bore hole for each cable conductor; a prestressed, radially resilient sleeve received onto said insulative insert and resiliently contacting both said insert and the plug casing walls defining the plug casing; and a generally cylindrical contact element having a longitudinal slit received in prestressed condition within each bore hole, snugly conforming to the bore hole walls, said element having first and second longitudinally spaced lamination means which are radially resilient, one end of the contact element receiving a contact pin provided at the end of the cable conductor and the other contact element end for receiving a further pin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A cable plug as in claim 1, in which said sleeve includes a generally cylindrical body member of spring metal having a longitudinal slit therein, and laminations at each end extending radially outwardly, the ends of which are received against shoulders formed in the plug casing opening walls.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
88 words
A cable plug as claimed in claim 1, wherein a union nut is provided over the casing in order to attach the plug to a signal generator, the insulative insert being formed into an integral cylindrical body with a substantially uniform outer diameter and the plug casing in its section adjoining the union nut having an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the union nut, whereby the union nut can be pushed back over the plug casing for mounting and replacing a sealing ring.
