waterseal insulated connection therefor.v
One such connector of the multiple type may supply one size to each of several dwelling houses, another size to another connector barservicing several homes, and another size to one or morestreet lamps. The connections for the a respective sizes must be watertight, and to furnish adaptors for dilferent sizes creates a serious supply problem.
It is therefore another object .of the present invention to provide a waterseal telescope'multiple outlet bar connector having built in, self-contained, or stepped receptacles adapted to respectively accommodate difl'erent size inlet insulation jacketed conductors and to respectively receive larger, smaller, or intermediate sizes of outlet insulator jacketed conductors for connection tothe bus bar.
According to the present invention, the telescope waterseal connector comprises a hollow block of insulation, a first conductor in the hollow of said block, said block having a cavity joining the hollow of said block to receive a second conductor, said first conductor having a terminal registering with said cavity, said second conductor being covered with insulation stripped back to bare the entering terminal thereof for connection to the terminal of said first conductor, said cavity having an inner portion of reduced capacity to receive one size of insulation of a smaller second conductor, and an outer portion of enlarged capacity to receive a larger size of insulation of a larger second conductor.
In the multiple form, a bus bar is embedded in or surrounded by a block of insulation having a plurality of bosses distributed therealong, each having an inner portion of reduced diameter to receive one size of insulation of a conductor, and an outer portion of enlarged diameter to alternately receive a larger size of insulation, both in waterproof contact. Preferably the enlarged. portion has an insulating plug therein also in waterproof contact. Preferably the plug has a central bore with a dowel therein in waterproof contact and removable from said central bore to receive a smaller size of insulation. Inasmuch as the lead in from the distributor transformer is the largest size, the bar connector is supplied with one of the bored and doweled plugs missing. I
