Abstract

An insulation cap of a wire joint of a joined electrical wire, the insulation cap including a cap main body for receiving the wire joint being formed by joining cores of a plurality of covered wires and an electro-conductive sleeve, and a flexible fastener provided on an inner wall of the cap main body for fastening the wire joint by contacting a rear end of the electro-conductive sleeve thereon. The flexible fastener is formed as an integral part of the cap main body by fastening a molding die through a hole provided at an opposite end of a joint insertion end of the cap main body. A plurality of flexible fasteners are provided axial symmetrically to extend toward a direction of inserting the wire joint from a base formed as an integral part of the inner wall of the cap main body.

Claims (27)

1. An insulation cap comprising:

a cap main body for receiving a wire joint, being formed by joining cores of a plurality of covered wires and an electro-conductive sleeve;

a plurality of the flexible fasteners are continued to each base formed as an integral part of an inner wall of the cap main body, and extend toward a direction of inserting the wire joint, and are disposed at a position of axial symmetry, being disposed inside of the cap main body for fastening the wire joint within the cap main body by abutting on a rear end of the electro-conductive sleeve,

whereby the flexible fastener is formed as an integral part of the cap main body by taking out a molding die through an opening at an opposite end of a joint insertion end of the cap main body, and

a blind end receiving section is formed at the opposite end projectingly on the cap main body, said blind end receiving section spaced from said flexible fasteners in a direction of said opposite end and having dimensions and a shape capable of receiving the wire joint to be smaller in diameter than that of the cap main body.

2. The insulation cap according to claim 1 , wherein said cap main body is provided with a top cover for covering said opening.

3. A joined electrical wire comprising:

a plurality of covered wires; and

the insulation cap according to claim 2 for receiving the wire joint of cores of the plurality of covered wires,

wherein an inside of the insulation cap is filled with a sealant.

4. The insulation cap according to claim 1 , wherein the blind end receiving section is transparent or semitransparent.

5. The insulation cap according to claim 4 , wherein the blind end receiving section at the opposite end is provided with a positioning stopper for limiting relative movement of the wire joint in a direction of inserting the wire joint.

6. A joined electrical wire comprising:

a plurality of covered wires; and

the insulation cap according to claim 5 for receiving the wire joint of cores of the plurality of covered wires,

wherein an inside of the insulation cap is filled with a sealant.

7. A joined electrical wire comprising:

a plurality of covered wires; and

the insulation cap according to claim 4 for receiving the wire joint of cores of the plurality of covered wires,

wherein an inside of the insulation cap is filled with a sealant.

8. The insulation cap according to claim 1 , wherein the blind end receiving section at the opposite end is provided with a positioning stopper for limiting relative movement of the wire joint in a direction of inserting the wire joint.

9. A joined electrical wire comprising: a plurality of covered wires; and the insulation cap according to claim 8 for receiving the wire joint of cores of the plurality of covered wires, wherein an inside of the insulation cap is filled with a sealant.

10. A joined electrical wire comprising:

a plurality of covered wires; and

the insulation cap according to claim 1 for receiving the wire joint of cores of the plurality of covered wires,

wherein an inside of the insulation cap is filled with a sealant.

11. The joined electrical wire according to claim 10 , wherein the wire joint is formed by swaging an outer wall of the electro-conductive sleeve, into which the cores are inserted, to shrink a diameter of the electro-conductive sleeve for joining the cores and the electro-conductive sleeve with each other.
