摘要:
Apparatus for coupling multi-conduit drill pipes to maintain arcuate registry between connected pipes, and for transferring the drive torque of one drill pipe to the next drill pipe. One end of one drill pipe (50) includes drive lugs (100) matable with corresponding drive recesses (102) in the end of the next drill pipe (52). An index lug (104) in the drill pipe end, different that the drive lugs (100), is matable with a corresponding index recess (106) in another pipe end ot maintain arcuate registry of the coupled pipes and thus longitudinal alignment of the respective conduits (30) throughout the drill string. An internally threaded coupling collar (84) with different thread pitches at each end thereof is threadable onto the joined lug and recess mated drill pipe ends to hold the pipes mated. The joined pipe ends respectively include external threads (88, 90) of pitches corresponding to that of the coupling collar (84) so that a differential thread action draws the pipes together. A seal (86) is provided between the pipe ends so that when compressed by rotation of the coupling collar (84) each conduit (30, 62) is sealed from adjacent conduits.
摘要:
An electrical connector and method of making an electrical connection for reliably supporting conductors with a high retention force. The connector has two conductor-engaging members joined through a pin making an interference fit with and bonding itself to at least one member. The pin contains grooves and lands on its surface which are permanently altered as the pin is pressed or fired into the conductor engaging member to provide a strong, high retention force cold welded connection.

A high voltage electrical connector assembly having a first connector (12) with socket terminals (44), matable with a second connector (14) having pin terminals (58). Socket terminals (44) are disposed in respective gradually tapered silos (40) of elastomeric material, and the second connector (14) is formed of rigid dielectric material to include silo-receiving recesses (50) surrounding the pin contact sections (56) of the pin terminals (58). Each silo (40) includes a leading end portion extending a selected distance beyond the socket contact section leading end (72) and abuts the recess bottom (96) prior to full connector mating. Upon completion of connector mating, the silos (40) are longitudinally compressed at their leading end portions (74) and thereby become radially expanded to tightly engage the inner surfaces (128) of the silo-receiving recesses (50) and establish compression seals (130) therewith therealong to define sealing of the mating interface against voltage leakage paths that otherwise would permit generation of corona.

A conduit grounding wire coupling device includes an insulator bushing carrying internally threaded collar for engaging an externally threaded section of an electrical conduit, the collar being provided on its outer peripheral face with circumferentially spaced, radial protuberances having flat outer faces with tapped central bores and angularly spaced diametric grooves in each outer face radiating from respective tapped bores. A wire clamp member includes a rear wall and longitudinally spaced outwardly projecting arms, one of which defines a first jaw and the other having a tapped bore engaging a second jaw carrying bolt. The clamp member rear wall has a depending section provided with a bore and a diametric ridge which engages a selected diametric groove and is locked to the collar at the selected orientation by a bolt engaging the collar and clamp member rear wall bores.

A ground contact adaptor for a high voltage cable having a metallic tape shield, the adaptor including a contact sleeve assembly having an electrically conductive band connected to a copper braid partially embedded within a conducting rubber contact sleeve and extending outwardly therefrom to form a ground contact, a spring biasing the band into electrical engagement with the metallic tape shield of the high voltage cable and a conducting rubber sleeve sealingly engaging the contact sleeve and cable insulation to form a water-tight seal around the band.
摘要:
An electrical grounding connector for connecting a conductor to a pipe. The connector comprises a band and an electrical compression connector. The band wraps around the pipe and has two ends that form an outwardly extending stem. The compression connector has two apertures. The compression connector is mounted to the band with the stem in a first one of the apertures. A conductor is received in the second aperture. The compression connector is compressed onto the stem and the conductor at the same time.

A water-resistant electrical connector has a flow-down space S, through which water passes, formed between the outside surface of female terminal housings 30 and the inside of a male hood 12. Water which penetrates inside the male hood 12 from the end thereof passes through a flow-down space S to exit apertures 20, 37. Neighboring terminals are separated by hollow partition walls 11, 31. Partition walls 18 may project from the male connector and pass between adjacent female terminal housings to improve electrical isolation.

The specification discloses an electrical connector assembly comprising a flexible metal conduit and a plastic housing molded directly onto the conduit. The housing defines a chamber in which are positioned a plurality of terminal clips, all of which are connected to wires extending into the conduit. A ground wire extends through the housing and includes a first end connected to one of the terminal clips, designated the grounding clip, and a second end secured to the conduit to ground the connector assembly.

Multiple linear arrays of optical fiber cable are aligned and spliced by use of a thin rigid chip with a large number of closely spaced parallel longitudinal fiber-receiving grooves having a uniform cross section. An array splice is built by stacking successive layers of chips and linearly arrayed fibers. A termination is prepared from the foregoing by end grinding or the like. Two ends so prepared are then brought together and aligned by one or two aligning modules having grooves which are mating opposite to those of the chip. The system achieves relatively precise and reliable axial alignment for corresponding fibers of the two prepared terminations.

A power connector comprises a plug mechanism and a socket mechanism. The plug mechanism is provided with a plurality of insulating tubes designed to enclose and arranged to be spaced around respective pinning mechanism. The socket mechanism of the connector is provided with corresponding holes for the tubes, tubular conductors for the pinning mechanism, and a housing element for partially receiving the plug mechanism, whereby when the pinning means are inserted into the holes, sparks, in case there are, will be kept apart from a person' hand by both the insulating tubes and the housing element.
