Abstract
Abstract A sealed connection for electrical cables has a rigid plastic tubular member positioned over the connected ends of the conductors of the cables to be connected and a thermosetting electrically insulating material encloses the tubular member and is within the tubular member to surround the connected conductors. A mastic-plastic pad encloses the entire connection and has portions extending beyond the tubular member which portions are brought together over the cables and sealed thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A sealed connecTion of electrical cables comprising means connecting the ends of the conductors of the cables, a rigid plastic tubular member positioned over said connecting means and cable ends and having a diameter larger than the diameter of said connection means to define a space between said cables and said tubular member, a thermoset electrically insulating material within such space and enclosing said tubular member, and a cover of electrically insulating material enclosing said thermoset material and extending beyond the ends of said tubular member, the cover ends being brought together over the cables and sealed to form a moisture-proof connection.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A sealed connecTion of electrical cables comprising means connecting the ends of the conductors of the cables, a rigid plastic tubular member positioned over said connecting means and cable ends and having a diameter larger than the diameter of said connection means to define a space between said cables and said tubular member, a thermoset electrically insulating material within such space and enclosing said tubular member, and a cover of electrically insulating material enclosing said thermoset material and extending beyond the ends of said tubular member, the cover ends being brought together over the cables and sealed to form a moisture-proof connection.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A sealed connection as claimed in claim 1 wherein said tubular member is perforated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A sealed connection as claimed in claim 1 wherein said tubular member comprises a honeycomb.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A sealed connection as claimed in claim 1 where said tubular member comprises a cylinder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A sealed connection as claimed in claim 1 wherein there are three cables connected in a T-shape configuration and said tubular member has a T-shape for said configuration.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
86 words
A sealed connection of electrical cables comprising means connecting the ends of the conductors of the cables, a rigid plastic tubular member positioned over said connecting means and cable ends and having a diameter larger than the diameter of said connection means to define a space between said cables and said tubular member, a thermoset electrically insulating material within said space and enclosing said tubular member, and a cover of electrically insulating material enclosing said thermoset material and extending beyond the ends of said tubular member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
86 words
A sealed connection of electrical cables comprising means connecting the ends of the conductors of the cables, a rigid plastic tubular member positioned over said connecting means and cable ends and having a diameter larger than the diameter of said connection means to define a space between said cables and said tubular member, a thermoset electrically insulating material within said space and enclosing said tubular member, and a cover of electrically insulating material enclosing said thermoset material and extending beyond the ends of said tubular member.
