CA 2315394

A snap in locking cable connector (16) is composed of two mating pieces that snap together and provide a connector for armored or metal clad electrical conductors. One piece includes a die cast member (18) including a smooth outer cylindrical section having an inner diameter that may accommodate a spring steel adaptor (14) with flanges to hold the spring steel adaptor (14) in place. The spring steel adaptor (14) is used in conjuction with an electrical junction box to fix the location of the locking cable connector with respect to the junction box. Another piece includes a spring steel locking ring (20) provided to receive an armored cable and lock into the die cast member (18). The spring steel locking (20) ring has tangs allowing unidirectional insertion into the die cast member (18) and restricting withdrawal motion from the die cast member (18). The spring steel locking ring (20) also includes oppositely directed tangs to permit reception of the armored cable in one direction and restrict its movement in the reverse direction.

L'invention concerne un raccord (1) de câbles à verrouillage par encliquetage, constitué de deux pièces appariées qui s'enclenchent l'une dans l'autre pour former un raccord de conducteurs électriques blindés ou à gaine métallique. L'une des pièces comporte un élément (18) matricé comprenant une partie cylindrique extérieure lisse dont le diamètre intérieur peut recevoir un adaptateur (14) en acier à ressorts pourvu de rebords destinés à maintenir en place ledit adaptateur (14). L'adaptateur (14) en acier à ressorts est utilisé conjointement avec une boîte de dérivation de manière à fixer l'emplacement du raccord de câbles par rapport à la boîte de dérivation. L'autre pièce comporte une bague (20) de verrouillage en acier à ressorts conçue pour recevoir un câble blindé et s'enclencher dans l'élément (18) matricé. La bague (20) de verrouillage en acier à ressorts est pourvue de pattes permettant une insertion unidirectionnelle dans l'élément (18) matricé et restreignant tout mouvement de rétrogradation hors de l'élément (18) matricé. La bague (20) de verrouillage en acier à ressorts est également pourvue de pattes directement opposées de façon d'une part à permettre la réception du câble blindé dans un seul sens, et d'autre part à restreindre son mouvement en sens inverse.
