| 摘要 | A midspan connector for easily mechanically and electrically connecting one or more tap lines to one phase of a system so that a remaining phase need not be connected but without manipulation assumes a predetermined position separated from the connected phase with the tap conductors in the same plane and parallel to the run conductor. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. The combination of a midspan connector, first and second spans of a two span system and a tap line for one of said spans, a body of said connector formed of electrically conducting material, a noninsulated section of said first span, a channel formed in said body within which said noninsulated section is disposed, first clamp means connecting said noninsulated section in said channel, a noninsulated end of said tap line, a recess formed in said body within which said noninsulated end is disposed, second clamp means connecting said noninsulated end in said recess, a concave surface of said body spaced from said channel and parallel thereto, said second span abutting said concave surface in spaced relation with said first span and with said body between said spans and said spans being under tension maintaining the relative positions of said spans and said connector. 2. The combination in accordance with claim 1 in which said first clamp means includes a top pad overlying said channel and screw means connecting said top pad to said body with said top pad in contact with said noninsulated section and clamping it within said channel, said top pad being formed of an electrically conducting material. 3. The combination in accordance with claim 1 in which said second clamp means includes a pressure pad formed of an electrically conducting material within said recess, screw means engaging said body and providing means for moving said pressure pad within said recess against said tap line to clamp it within said recess. 4. The combination in accordance with claim 2 in which said top pad has an elongated portion formed with a notch throughout its length facing said channel. 5. The combination in accordance with claim 3 in which said pressure pad is provided with upwardly extending undercut walls providing cooperating screw means to receive and hold the end of said screw. 6. The combination in accordance with claim 1 in which a housing is provided formed to the configuration of said connector with notches for entry of said first span and said tap line and having a housing cover portion and a housing bottom portion, said connector being formed with shoulders and said housing bottom portion being formed with inwardly directed projections overlying and embracing said shoulders to maintain said housing bottom portion on said connector and said housing bottom portion and said housing cover portion being hingedly connected. 7. The combination of a midspan connector, first and second spans of a two span system, first and second tap lines, a body of said connector formed of electrically conducting material, a noninsulated section of said first span, a channel formed in said body within which said noninsulated section is disposed, first clamp means connecting said noninsulated section in said channel, a first noninsulated end of said first tap line, a second noninsulated end of said second tap line, first and second recesses formed in said body in the same plane and parallel to said channel to respectively receive said first and second noninsulated ends, second and third clamp means respectively connecting said noninsulated ends in said first and second recesses, a concave surface of said body spaced from said channel and parallel thereto, said second span abutting said concave surface in spaced relation with said first span and with said body between said spans and said spans being under tension maintaining the relative positions of said spans and said connector. |
