Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a device for attaching and connecting a multicore electric cable to the motor of a pump, more particularly a submersible motor-driven pump, having a tubular connecting casing, wherein the connecting casing is attached, more particularly screwed in an outwardly open aperture in the motor casing and/or in the pump bearing support and has internally a water-tight transverse wall which is disposed transversely of the longitudinal axis of the connecting casing and in which conductive pins are cast which project axis-parallel on both sides of the transverse wall and onto which on both sides bushes are fitted which are connected on the motor side to leads of the motor and on the outside to cores of a connecting cable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A flame-proof nonwicking device for connecting a multilead electric cable to a pump motor having a housing, said device comprising: a tubular connecting casing receivable in an aperture of said housing and secured thereto; means forming a water-tight transverse wall in said casing; a plurality of conductive pins cast in place in said wall and projecting axis-parallel on opposite sides of said wall; respective bushes connected to leads of said cable and fitted over said conductive pins at an outer side of said wall in said casing; and respective bushes connected to leads of said motor and fitted over said conductive pins at an inner side of said wall in said casing, said casing and said housing being interconnected by screwthreads whereby said casing in threaded into said housing, the bushes on each side of said transverse wall being received in a respective two-part bearing member forming a guide channel for the respective bush said bearing member lying in said casing to a respective side of said transverse wall.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
169 words
A flame-proof nonwicking device for connecting a multilead electric cable to a pump motor having a housing, said device comprising: a tubular connecting casing receivable in an aperture of said housing and secured thereto; means forming a water-tight transverse wall in said casing; a plurality of conductive pins cast in place in said wall and projecting axis-parallel on opposite sides of said wall; respective bushes connected to leads of said cable and fitted over said conductive pins at an outer side of said wall in said casing; and respective bushes connected to leads of said motor and fitted over said conductive pins at an inner side of said wall in said casing, said casing and said housing being interconnected by screwthreads whereby said casing in threaded into said housing, the bushes on each side of said transverse wall being received in a respective two-part bearing member forming a guide channel for the respective bush said bearing member lying in said casing to a respective side of said transverse wall.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein said transverse wall is enclosed in a sleeve coaxially received in said casing and into which said wall is cast, said sleeve having a water-tight connection to an inner wall of said casing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The device defined in claim 2, further comprising a sealing disk through which said pins extend at a respective side of said wall and bearing against said side of the transverse wall.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein one part of each bearing member has a central projection coaxial with the casing and received in a central aperture of the other part of the bearing member, said central projections being formed by tongues holding the parts of the bearing members together.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The device defined in claim 4 wherein each bearing member and the bushes received therein forms a respective plug into which respective leads extend on one side and which can be fitted on an opposite side on said pins.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The device defined in claim 5 wherein said plug is constructed to fit onto the pins on either side of said transverse wall.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
The device defined in claim 1 wherein a coaxial guide pin is cast in place in said transverse wall and projects on opposite sides thereof, said bearing members having bores receiving said guide pin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
The device defined in claim 1, further comprising a threaded sleeve having an external screwthread threaded into an internal screwthread in an end of said casing remote from said housing, said cable passing through said sleeve and being secured to said casing by a compression nut threaded onto said sleeve.
