- An electrical connector junction shell comprising a [51] Ink-bl. figh 13/58 housing having an p g therein through which a [58] Field M 104 cable extends.
- a first clamp engages the cable inside 339/l05 the housing.
- a second clamp is provided for clamping the cable outside of the housing in a position at a right [56] References Cited angle to the axis of the opening.
- the cable may extend either straight or at a right angle with respect UNITED STATES PATENTS to an electrical connector mounted in the shell.
- R clamps may be elf locking cable ties 1,961,013 5/1934 Saraceno 339/107 X 0 3,032,740 5/1962 Von Hoorn 339/103 R 4 Claims, 10 Drawing Figures JUNCTION SHELL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1.
- FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to an electri cal connector junction shell and, more particularly, to such a shell which allows a cable extending therefrom to be clamped in two positions angularly displaced from one another. 7
- an electrical connector junction shell comprising a housing having an opening therein through which a cable is adapted to be extended.
- First clamping means is provided which is engageable with the cable inside the housing for clamping the cable thereto.
- a second clamping means is provided for clamping the cable outside the housing, if desired, in a position at an angle to the axis of the opening in the housing. Preferably, such angle is 90 with respect to such axis.
- the cable may be extended either in a straight direction or at a right angle with respect to the electrical connector mounted in the shell.
- a single junction shell may be employed for providing either straight or right angle cable connections to the connector.
- FIG. I is a perspective view of one embodiment of the junction shell of the present invention with the cable extending straight therefrom and the outside clamp removed;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view similar to FIG. 1 showing the outside clamp holding the cable at a right angle;
- FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. I, with an electrical connector shown in phantom in the shell;
- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view taken through the outside clamp illustrated in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of the outside clamp of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 4 showing the clamp illustrated in FIG. 5 holding the cable in a right angle position;
- a vertically extending opening 26 extends through the upper wall 28 of the housing 12.
- An electrical cable 30 extends through this opening and the conductors 32 thereof are connected to contacts 34 extending from the upper surface of an electrical connector 36, shown in phantom, positioned in the bottom of the shell.
- Flanges 38 are formed at opposite ends of the lower portion of the housing 12.
- Vertically extending passages 40 are formed in the flanges which receives screws 42 which serve to mount the shell to the connector 36.
- a passage 64 extends through the housing 12 at a position spaced from the opening 26 and generally normal to such opening and to the channel 56.
- a self-locking cable tie 66 is extended through the passage 64 and wrapped around the cable to hold the same in such right angle position.
- the cable tie 66 is of a type well known in the art and comprises a flexible plastic strip 68 which terminates at one end in a head 70.
- a passage 72 extend through the head 70 and an integral resilient finger 74 extends into the passage. This finger engages teeth 76 which are formed on one surface of the strip 68.
- a vertically split hollow housing comprised of a pair of half sections, said housing defining an electrical connector receiving recess opening at the bottom thereof;
