Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
A crimp splicer for splicing electrical wires comprising: a crimp barrel consisting essentially of a ductile metal, and an insulating sleeve consisting essentially of a heat-shrinkable material having a bore formed therein, said barrel removably retained in said bore to enable removal of said barrel for crimping and the reinsertion of said barrel therein without damaging said sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
58 words
A crimp splicer for splicing electrical wires comprising: a crimp barrel consisting essentially of a ductile metal, and an insulating sleeve consisting essentially of a heat-shrinkable material having a bore formed therein, said barrel removably retained in said bore to enable removal of said barrel for crimping and the reinsertion of said barrel therein without damaging said sleeve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The splicer of claim 1 wherein said sleeve is further provided with fusible sealing rings disposed at each end thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The splicer of claim 1 wherein the ends of said sleeve are flared outwardly.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The splicer of claim 1 wherein said sleeve has a bore with a diameter essentially equal to the outer diameter of said barrel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
The splicer of claim 4 wherein said sleeve is further provided with a rim formed in the wall of said sleeve, said rim capable of preventing the removal of the barrel from one end of said sleeve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
The splicer of claim 5 wherein the other end of said sleeve is provided with a flare to facilitate the insertion of said barrel into said sleeve.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
65 words
A crimp splicer for making an electrical junction comprising: a crimp barrel consisting essentially of a ductile metal, and an insulating sleeve consisting essentially of a heat recoverable material having an oval shaped bore formed therein, said barrel frictionally retained in said bore, said sleeve adapted to enable removal of said barrel for crimping and the reinsertion of said barrel therein without damaging said sleeve.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
65 words
A crimp splicer for making an electrical junction comprising: a crimp barrel consisting essentially of a ductile metal, and an insulating sleeve consisting essentially of a heat recoverable material having an oval shaped bore formed therein, said barrel frictionally retained in said bore, said sleeve adapted to enable removal of said barrel for crimping and the reinsertion of said barrel therein without damaging said sleeve.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
The splicer of claim 7 wherein said sleeve is further provided with sealing rings disposed at each end thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
The splicer of claim 7 wherein the ends of said sleeve are flared outwardly.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
74 words
A crimp splicer comprising: a crimp barrel consisting essentially of a ductile metal, and an insulating sleeve consisting essentially of a heat recoverable material and having a bore formed therein, said bore having detents formed in the wall thereof, said barrel disposed in said bore and mechanically retained therein by said detents, said sleeve adapted to enable removal of said barrel for crimping and the reinsertion of said barrel therein without damaging said sleeve.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
74 words
A crimp splicer comprising: a crimp barrel consisting essentially of a ductile metal, and an insulating sleeve consisting essentially of a heat recoverable material and having a bore formed therein, said bore having detents formed in the wall thereof, said barrel disposed in said bore and mechanically retained therein by said detents, said sleeve adapted to enable removal of said barrel for crimping and the reinsertion of said barrel therein without damaging said sleeve.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
20 words
The splicer of claim 10 wherein said sleeve is further provided with fusible sealing rings disposed at each end thereof.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
14 words
The splicer of claim 10 wherein the ends of said sleeve are flared outwardly.
