Summer HZ'E RREN LEV/IS Patented Feb. 7, 1959 UNI-T STATES P ENT OFFI CE Application April 22, 1944, Serial No. 532,338
6 Claims. 1:
My invention relates. to. connectors; and; has particular application to. connectors; for. large stranded cables but may. be arranged. for con.- necting small solid conductors.
My improved device is simple inzconstruction and application, of highefiiciency both. electrically and mechanically; uses a singleiclamping screw, and the cables are clamped in contact with each other: under-high pressure;
One of the main-' objects ci-my invention is. to provide a clamp type of connector by meansrof which more than the ordinarypressuremay: be secured by means of asingle screw ofthe 1 ordinarytype and without the application of: undue force upon the "screw by the operator;
Another obj ect' of myinvention is toprovide a device of the-fewest number ofparts andwhich are easy'of assembly andwhic h cannot-beinadvertently disassembled after proper assembl-ya Another" object of my invention is to provide a clamp in which the longitudinal -movement of the clampingmemberis rel-atively 'slow compared to that of the screw.
Still another obj ect attained by my improved clamp is a" reduction of frictionas compared to thoseclampsin which the end face of the operat ing screw engages with and-rotates'relativeto the clamping member;-
Another object of my invention isto-providea device for the purposedescribed in which a differentially threaded stud is usedi Still another object of my invention-is to pro vide a clamp in which the clamping member-ls less apt to loosen-from vibration-than is thecase with asingle thread-screw clamp.
Mir-invention will be-more readily: understood by making reference to the accompanyingedraw ings, wherein:
- Fig. l is a side viewci my inventionas; applied to a pair of cable ends;v
Fig. 2 is'an edge view of Elg. liminusthecables.
Fig. 3 is-a top view ofFig. 22
Fig; 4 is a partial section-oi myrinventiontaken on the line 44 of"l5-ig. 3 andshowssthe stud and clamping member in substantially: clampingrpo-xsition as in Fig. 1'.
Fig.- 5 is view in partial -section corresponding.
' The end wall 3 h-as aa-concavedbearing-surface- 37' curved transversely to conform to. the diameter ofr'thescables to bee-connected whiletheend fi is flat; and: provided; with a boss 61 and; threaded opening I; The formation of the bearing face 3: aids ingripping the cable.
Mounted in the opening 1 is stud: Bewith. ahead 9? to receive; a wrench or other tool, forrotating the stud..
Non-rotatablymounted; in the; opening 5: is: a clamping member l0 arranged. to more. longi+ tudina-lly of :thermember. l whereby;v the: cables'or wires;- may be:- either gripped" or: released; The bearing face 2 Ill? of'rmemberr Ill: isigrooved; toacone form .to the curvatureof; the" cables; and: is; also curved lengthwise and convexly: This-last'icurvae turei conforms to the longitudinal concave curvature in the bearlng surface: of end3 of member: I.
The stud-8 is-provided with twoportions; one portion i l being of" relatively large diameter which is threaded through the boss 6 and the other portion 1 Z' vvhic-h-isQf smaller diameter and threaded" into" the -threaded opening 1 in the clamping member Ill.
The: portion II is provided with arelatively coarse-threador pitch-while the portion l Iris-pro vi'dedwith' a relatively finethread or pitch-yboth threadsare of the same character; that is, both arethreaded in the same: direction, preferably right hand:
The clamping member It] has means projecting therefrom whichengage the. sidewalls. of. the opening 5 andrender. it non-rotatable relative to themember.v I, ,thereforewhen the stud 811s r0: tatedclockwise, if right threads. arerused, ,the p01.- tionll will cause. the stud, 8 to..advan.ce or move inwardlvtow-ards the end ,3 of the member. I and the portion l2 will advance. within the. threaded opening :I of theeclamping member I 0.- since; the clampingsmemberisenonrrotatable, therefore the resultant motion of the clamping member, relative to the loopshaped member is in the same .di rection in which the stud 8 I is .moving but at a slower rate.-.
The clampingmemberd fl-moves imthe opposite direction t/Oithe? direction of; advance movement of the. stud relative: to: the stud; but.sti'll.the clampingv member advances relative to (the looped memberinthe same direction ofimovement as the stud since the-studadvances faster than the clamping member isretracted and'therate of ad Vance of the clamping member is proportional to the-differencein pitch orlead of the two threads;
Just as a concreteexam-ple of my invention; I 7 constructed a clamp according tomy invention 3 in which the portion ll of stud 8 was inch in diameter and provided with threads of i pitch or lead while the portion I2 of the stud 8 Was inch in diameter and provided with threads of 20 pitch or lead. Both threads were right hand.
When the stud 8 was rotated clockwise, the stud advanced {a inch in each revolution and the clamping member was retracted relative to the stud V inch per turn of the stud but the final result was an advance of the clamping member in the direction in which the stud was moving of I1"-1/20".1-'.05=.05" or the equivalent of a 20 pitch or lead thread.
If the thread is of the same pitch on both portions H and 12, there will'be, of course, no advance or retraction of the clamping member relative to the looped body.
4 ing to release it from the clamping member is prevented.
I find that by using a. difierentially threaded stud as disclosed, there is less chance of the stud backing off. This is of particular value in cases where the cables or device are subjected to vibrations. I I Both threaded portions II and I2 for a given stud are provided with hand threads extending in the same direction but I claim no particular advantage in having one portion threaded in one direction and the other portion threaded in the opposite direction.
There may he uses for a differentially threaded stud in which the stud is reversed end for end in the support member, that is, the coarse pitch By calculation I find that the pressure of the I clamping member upon the cables, using the differentially stud just described, as compared with a inch stud having a 10 pitch thread with the end face of the stud engaging with and rotating relative to the clamping member, is about 10 percent greater using the differential stud, for the same applied force upon the studs, and taking into account dry friction between the parts.
The class of device I have herein described will probably in most every case be used dry and not lubricated; lubrication would of course reduce the friction in each case.
It will be noted, Fig. 4, that when the clamp I9 is in clamping position, the engagement between the stud and clamping member extends for substantially the entire length of the threaded portion l2; this serves to maintain rigidity, alignment and smooth operation of the clamping member when these properties are most needed, and prevents binding usually associated with a single threaded screw, swivelly engaging the clamping member. 7
My improved construction lends itself to a simple assembly operation and one in which the assembly is maintained.
After the parts have been prepared, the clamping member ID is placed in position preferably against the body at the threaded end of the loop shaped member I with the threaded openings aligned'jthe stud B is inserted in the threaded opening I and rotated into position until the end of the threaded portion I2 enters the threaded opening i in the clamping member l9.
Within certain limits, the clamp parts may be assembled so that the space between the bearing surfaces 3 and Ill will vary, and this fact may 'give one, not acquainted with the proper method of assembly considerable difiiculty, therefore I provide means to prevent the parts being disassembled by the user.
To maintain proper assembly, after the parts are assembled as described above, the stud is then further rotated until the clamping member is moved away from the end wall 4 sufiiciently to permit the insertion of the rivets It into previously drilled openings in the member I.
coupled with these features and the differentialthreading of the parts, rotation of the stud tendassociated with the clamping member and the fine pitch associated with the support member.
While I have referred in particular to a device having a diiferentially threaded stud of 10 and 20 pitch or lead threads, it is to be understood that other combinations to meet requirements may be employed, thereby giving varying results as do also studs having varying diameter of the portions I! and i2.
Although I have shown and described devices of specific structural details, many modifications may be effected therein within the spirit and scope of my invention, and I desire that only such limitations shall be imposed as are indicated in the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
