Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cap, for protecting and insulating electrical cable lugs.
  • cap members for protecting and insulating female lugs for terminating electrical cables which consist of a sleeve body, made of a plastics material, generally polyethylene, effective to be snap engaged onto the contact terminal of the electrical cable.
  • cap members in particular, have the further drawback that as they are associated to the female lugs of the electrical cables, they cannot be easily identified, with consequent difficulties in the wiring thereof to terminal boards and electrical apparatus in general.
  • cap members because they do not offer the possibility of identifying said electrical cable, after the assembling of the lug, a lot of time is consumed, mainly in the case where the cables are to be numerated at the wiring operations.
  • the DE-U-6 938 749 Patent discloses an insulating cap where, because of the necked construction of its inside, the end lug is to be generally affixed to the cable after the introduction of the cable into the cap member, thereby wasting a lot of time, considering the very high number of connections which are to be made, for example in an electric system of a motor vehicle.
  • cap cannot be applied to electrical cables already provided at one end with the end lug and having their other end not accessible.
  • the task of the present invention is to overcome the abovementioned drawbacks, by providing a cap member, for protecting and insulating electrical lugs, which is effective to be applied in a quick and easy way to a lug in its assembled condition on the cable, while affording the possibility of applying identifying marks to the electrical cable itself.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a cap member affording the possibility of using fully automatic apparatus, for applying the lugs to the electrical cables, thereby greatly reducing the manufacturing costs.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a cap member which, owing to the constructional features thereof, is very reliable and safe in operation.
  • a cap member for protecting and insulating electrical cable lugs including a sleeve body effective to be slid onto a lug, precoupled to an electrical cable end, comprising, as an extension of said sleeve body, a tubular portion provided for receiving thereon identifying marks of said elec-- trical cable, characterized in that said sleeve body is provided, in its inside, with a projection for snap engaging said lug in its precoupled or crimped condition to said electrical cable, and with an abutment edge for locking said lug inside said sleeve body, and in that said identifying mark receiving portion is included between an annular forward projection having a lead-in slanted surface and a further annular rear projection spaced a given distance from said front projection.
  • the cap member for protecting and insulating electrical cable lugs which is overally indicated at the reference number 1, comprises a sleeve body 2 provided with means, consisting of a projection 3, effective to afford the possibility of snap engaging a female lug 4, in its coupled or crimped condition to an electrical cable 5.
  • the sleeve body 2 is provided with an abutment edge 6, for locking the lug inside said sleeve body 2.
  • a main feature of the invention is that, as an extension of said sleeve body 2, there is provided, in a single piece, a tubular portion 10 which, on its outer side surface, is provided with a region encompassed by an annular projection 11, having a lead-in slanted surface 12 and an end projection 13.
  • the region defined between the two projections 11 and 13 affords the possibility, in actual practice, of housing identifying marks for said electrical cable 5.
  • said identifying marks which may consist of numbers, letters or symbols of any types, are provided on small bands 20 effective to be associated with the outer surface of the cap member 1 and caused to slide in such a way as to be housed in the region defined by said projections 11 and 13 therefrom they cannot disengage owing to the provision of said projections.
  • the tubular portion 10 in addition to increasing the working surface of the cap member, thereby affording the possibility of placing said identifying marks onto said cap member, also provides an identifying mark holding region, said identifying marks being advantageously applied on said bands 20 made of a comparatively resilient material, to be resiliently slid onto said cap in such a way as to slide to the region defined by said projections 11 and 13.
  • the cap member according to the invention affords the advantage of great economical savings, since it affords the possibility of cutting the wires, removing the insulating material and applying the lug in a fully automatic manner.
  • the used material for making the cap member as well as the size and specific shape may be any according to the needs, though the best results have been obtained by using an insulating plastics material.
