20100122829 | SEALANT-FILLED ENCLOSURES AND METHODS FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY PROTECTING A CONNECTION - A sealant-filled enclosure assembly for environmentally protecting a connection between cables includes a housing and a mass of sealant. The housing is selectively configurable between an open position to receive the connection and a closed position wherein the housing defines an enclosure cavity to contain the connection. The housing includes at least one sealant cavity and a port control system. The port control system includes a gate member that is selectively deflectable from a closed position, wherein the gate member blocks a cable port, to an open position, wherein the cable port is open to permit a cable to extend into the enclosure cavity through the cable port. The gate member is rigid or semi-rigid. The mass of sealant is disposed in the at least one sealant cavity. | 05-20-2010 |
20110315422 | SPLICE RESTRAINT AND MATING INDICATOR - The present invention relates to a splice restraint for use with sleeves that attach to joints. The splice restraint includes a first securing member constructed and arranged to be received in a groove of a first sleeve that is installable on a first leg of a joint, a second securing member constructed and arranged to be received in a groove of a second sleeve that is installable on a second leg of the joint, and a strap connecting the first securing member to the second securing member. The strap having a length determined by the distance between the groove on the first sleeve and the groove on the second sleeve when the first and second sleeves are properly installed on the joint. The splice restraint provides a visual indication that the sleeves are properly installed on the joint, as well ensures that sleeves will not be displaced after the lineman leaves the site. | 12-29-2011 |
20120273246 | COLD SHRINKABLE PRIMARY JOINT - A splice housing is configured to slide over and engage with a metallic connector that couples together cable conductors in an electrical distribution system. The splice housing has a first end arranged to engage a first cable, a second end arranged to engage a second cable and a central portion set between the first and second ends that engages the metallic connector. A first support core holds the first end in an expanded state, while a second support core holds the second end in an expanded state. The first and the second ends are molded so that they have relaxed internal diameters that are smaller than a relaxed internal diameter of the central portion. | 11-01-2012 |
20150136439 | SEALING COVER BOOT AND COVER AND INTERCONNECTION JUNCTIONS PROTECTED THEREBY - A hollow cover boot formed of an elastomeric material includes, in merging succession, a cable collar, a main section, a transition section, and an interconnection section, wherein the main section has a diameter greater than the cable collar and the interconnection section, and the transition section tapers between the main section and the cable collar. | 05-21-2015 |

20080236863 | Direct bury splice kit - A decoder system and a direct bury splice kit for in situ encapsulation of an electrical wire and wire connector wherein the encapsulation minimizes separating forces between the joined wires in the wire connector | 10-02-2008 |
20120279749 | CABLE CLOSURE - A cable closure, having a housing delimiting an interior and sealing off the cable closure toward the outside, said housing comprising a covering body, said covering body comprising shells and providing on mutually opposite sides cable insertion regions for inserting cables into said interior and/or for passing cables out of said interior of the cable closure, wherein compressible and/or deformable sealing elements are positioned proximal to said cable insertion regions, and wherein said shells can be locked together by a closing mechanism, whereby said shells are hinged together at first sides so that said shells can be pivoted relative to each other when opening and closing the cable closure, and that the closing mechanism can be used to lock said shells to each other at second sides of the same when said shells are in the closed position. | 11-08-2012 |
20150034357 | ENCLOSURE FOR A CABLE CONNECTION - The present invention is directed to an enclosure for protecting a cable connection. The enclosure includes a sealing member contained within an inner shell. The sealing member is secured around the cable connection by slideably engaging a rigid outer shell over the inner shell. The inner shell has an external topography defining an inner shell profile and wherein the outer shell has an internal topography defining an outer shell profile such that the outer shell profile is similar to the inner shell profile. | 02-05-2015 |
20160141857 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING A PERMANENT CABLE SPLICE DURING CABLE INSTALLATION - A device is provided for supporting a permanent cable splice during installation of one or more connected electrical transmission cables. The device includes one or more liners adapted to be affixable over at least portion of the permanent cable splice including the ends of the splice and one or more sleeves mountable over at least a portion of each of the one or more liners. A method is further provided for installing electrical transmission cable including connecting the second end of a first cable to the first end of a second cable using a permanent splice, affixing one or more liners over at least a portion including the ends of the permanent cable splice, assembling one or more sleeves over at least a portion of each of the one or more liners, pulling the first cable, permanent splice and second cable over one or more sheaves along the installation travel path. | 05-19-2016 |
