- 24 - CABLE CLOSURE Abstract A closure for a cable splice includes two mating covers and two end plate assemblies. Longitudinally extending joints between the covers are filled with sealing gaskets. Also a peripheral channel in each end late is filled with a circumferential gasket. The covers are asembled together to enclose the end plate asemblies with the gaskets in the joints therebetween. Then, the covers are moved toward each other and secured together by moving a continuous wire support frame which is disposed on each side of the closure and which a plurality of latching fingers mounted pivotally therealong to cause each latching finger to snap past a center bistable position into locking engagement with an aligned seat along the closure. As the covers become secured together, the longitudinal and circumferential gaskets are cause to seal their associated joints. Also, at each confluence of the covers and each end plate assembly, the longitudinal gaskets which span across weakened longitudinally extending portions of the circumferential gaskets become disposed in compliant engagement thereith to form seals. The wire suport frame is sufficiently resilient to cause the forces which are applied to be adequate under a wide range of temperature conditions to maintain effective seals.
