| 7219399 | Trigger actuated cable clamp A clamp for a cable having a housing with a first end, a second end, and an interior cavity to receive the cable. The clamp also includes a jaw assembly having a notch. The jaw assembly moves between locked and triggered positions within the cavity. A biasing member... | 05/22/2007 |
| 7007350 | Spring-loaded compression cable grab A spring-loaded compression cable grab (20) that is used for cinching and attaching a wire rope cable to a fixed object. The cable grab consists of a hollow cylindrical chuck (26) having a tapered socket (32) and a pair of bifurcated arms (40... | 03/07/2006 |
| 6123571 | Conductor stress relief apparatus A stress relief apparatus for a conductor has two bodies, at least one of which pivots so as to grip the conductor. The bodies have first and second contours, respectively. The contours face each other, so that the smallest distance between the first and ... | 09/26/2000 |
| 5807144 | Device for affixing a lead connector to an implantable stimulator A device for affixing an elongate contact pin on an electrode lead for connection to a medical implant, such as a heart stimulator, contains an elongate connector part with an opening at one end into which the contact pin can be inserted. The connector pa... | 09/15/1998 |
| 5482038 | Needle electrode assembly A holder (16) for releasably holding needle electrodes (18). The holder (16) includes a body (26) having a base slidably mounted within the body. Depressing the base into the body (26) releases a gripping assembly (50) located within the body (26) allowin... | 01/09/1996 |
| 5334056 | Automatic cable connector with impact hammer An automatic cable connector includes a hammer that is moved to a cocked position by the end of an inserted cable. A hammer spring is compressed during the cocking motion. When the cocked position is reached, a frangible abutment fractures and the hammer ... | 08/02/1994 |
| 5278353 | Automatic splice An improved cable splice of the type in which first and second ends of a casing taper conically toward the casing's longitudinal axis. First and second cable-receiving apertures are provided in the respective first and second ends of the casing. A first s... | 01/11/1994 |
| 4775335 | Electrical connector An electrical zero insertion force connector includes a tubular elongated conducting body having an opening at its one end for inserting a conductor and a socket with a plurality of integral gripping jaws resiliently extending into the body and away from ... | 10/04/1988 |
| 4655538 | Terminal connecting device for pulling-type breaker A terminal connecting device has a plurality of movable contacts which are biased toward each other by springs to an extent limited by a spacer carried by the frame. The device is easily assembly by fitting shafts through bores in the contacts and using s... | 04/07/1987 |
| 4531799 | Electrical connector A pneumatically controlled electrical test connector contains spring loaded pins whose ends are brought into electrical contact with the opposing ends of corresponding connector pins of an electronic module. The pins of the pneumatically controlled connec... | 07/30/1985 |
| 4460238 | Electrical coupling The invention provides for electrical coupling pins 5 for interconnecting two opposed electrical cable terminals having sockets 3, at least one of said sockets having a male contact member with a tapered end portion. The coupling pins each include a hollow tub... | 07/17/1984 |
| 4105280 | High current density electrical contact The disclosure concerns an electrical contact for conducting high current densities in a minimum of space and with improved connection between the contact and the socket. The contact includes a split, internally tapered circular sleeve which is mounted in... | 08/08/1978 |
| 3982806 | Plug-in electric contact with improved contact finger support and shielding Inner conductors of isolated phase bus sections arranged end to end are joined by a multiplicity of longitudinally extending, annularly arrayed contact fingers which are biased radially inwardly against the conductors being joined with one end of each fin... | 09/28/1976 |
