Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
An electrical splice comprising: first and second insulative members, each of said first and second insulative members having first and second channels dimensioned for receiving first and second conductors to be spliced, each of said insulative members having first and second recesses dimensioned for receiving said first and second conductors after passage through said first and second channels, each of said first and second insulative members having a guide channel; an insulative center member said center member carrying first and second guide members extending in opposite directions and being received by said guide channels in said first and second insulative members; and first and second metallic shorting pins carried by said center member and geometrically disposed for electrically shorting any conductors contained in the opposite cavities in said first and second insulative members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
An electrical splice comprising: first and second insulative members, each of said first and second insulative members having first and second channels dimensioned for receiving first and second conductors to be spliced, each of said insulative members having first and second recesses dimensioned for receiving said first and second conductors after passage through said first and second channels, each of said first and second insulative members having a guide channel; an insulative center member said center member carrying first and second guide members extending in opposite directions and being received by said guide channels in said first and second insulative members; and first and second metallic shorting pins carried by said center member and geometrically disposed for electrically shorting any conductors contained in the opposite cavities in said first and second insulative members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The electrical splice of claim 1 and further including: locking means carried by said center member locking said center member to said first and second insulative members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
The electrical splice of claim 2 wherein said locking means comprises: at least one raised portion terminating the ends of said first and second guide members, said raised portion passing through one of said guide channels and latching an end of said first and second insulative members.
