Filed:

Feb 17, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/060140

Inventors:

John Olenik - Mentor OH, US
David Sunkle - Strongsville OH, US
Robert Whapham - North Royalton OH, US

International Classification:

F16G 11/00

US Classification:

024122600

Abstract:

An appliance is provided for terminating high temperature conductors. The appliance includes a clevis member, a first set of aluminum elongate helically formed reinforcement members, and first and second U-shaped dead-end members having leg portions formed of an aluminum material and an aluminum-coated metal material, respectively. The reinforcement members and first and second dead end members are applied to the associated conductor in a layered relationship in a manner to establish a phase ordering of aluminum alloy and aluminum covered steel wire materials over the circumference of the conductor. The combination of aluminum alloy and aluminum coated steel wire materials provides desired strength while maintaining an operating temperature of the appliance lower than an operating temperature of the associated conductor.

International Classification:

H02G 3/04
H01B 17/14
F16B 2/06

Abstract:

A structure for supporting a wire includes a first portion extending along a first axis. The first portion includes a body portion and an alignment portion. The alignment portion is removably coupled to the body portion. The first alignment opening extends between a first side and a second side of the alignment portion. The first side has a first surface portion and a second surface portion. The first surface portion is separated a first distance from the first axis. The second surface portion is separated a second distance from the first axis. The first distance is different than the second distance. The structure includes a second portion defining a second alignment opening through which the second portion receives the fastener. The second portion is spaced a distance from the body portion to define a wire opening into which the wire is received for support by the structure.
