14 ABSTRACT CONNECTOR FOR CORRUGATED-METAL- SHEATHED ELECTRIC CABLES A connector for corrugated metal sheathed metal electric cables is disclosed The connector is the type comprising a hollow tubular body including a first portion having a helical ridge provided with a sharp edge and exten- ding inwardly from the interior surface of the tubular body of the same pitch as the helical groove on the corrugated me- tal sheath of the cable for threading on such sheath, a second portion consisting of a cylindrical gap through which the ca- ble sheath may freely pass, a third portion adapted to be se- cured to a standing structure, and a radially inwardly exten- ding shoulder within the hollow tubular body between the se- cond and third portions and constituting a sheath stop, whereby the connector may be secured to the sheath with the end of the sheath received within the first and second portions of the tubular body and in abutment with the sheath stop. The im- provement in accordance with the present invention consists in that the helical ridge extending inwardly from the interior surface of the first portion of the tubular body ends short of the sheath stop leaving the above mentioned gap between the end of the ridge and the sheath stop which provides for fitting the connector over varying outer sheath diameters while ensu- ring that the sheath abuts with the sheath stop and causes the connector to align itself with the sheath and the sharp edge of the ridge to penetrate the surface of the sheath throughout its length thereby obtaining an improved electri- cal connection between the connector and the sheath.
