590,617. Cable harness ; two - part couplings. TITEFLEX, Inc. Dec. 8, 1944, No. 24676. Convention date, Oct. 14, 1943. [Classes 36 and 38 (i)] In a radio-shielded harness, a conductor 13 provided with primary insulation 14 is led through a conduit 1, Fig. 1, and an elbow 7, the cable being free from secondary insulation between the ends of the conduit, but being provided with secondary insulation 19 in the elbow 7. The secondary insulation, which may be moulded within the elbow in situ, may be covered at one end with a sleeve 26 of " Mycalex " (Registered Trade Mark), and at the other end may have an extension 30 projecting into the conduit 1, a separate or integral gasket 21 being provided to keep out fumes or moisture. The elbow may be connected to the spark-plug by a nut 9 swivelling on a ferrule 8, which may have a projection 23 to enable it to grip the insulation more securely. Secondary insulation 15 may also be provided beyond the conduit 1, gaskets 18 forming a seal when the conduit 1 is connected to a manifold by a nut 11 swivelling on a ferrule 10. The terminals at the manifold and spark-plug ends may be formed by a hollow screw-threaded member 24, Fig. 4, embedded in the secondary insulation 19, the conductor 13 being led through the member 24 and spread out and soldered. Specification 569,995 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 states also that the cable 12111 (Fig. 5, Cancelled) may make contact by means of a spring 33 with the terminal of a bare conductor 35 which is led through the elbow 711 and surrounded by secondary insulation 19111 only, this insulation being moulded about the bare conductor in situ in the elbow. A gasket 36 closes the conduit against any seepage through the nut threads, and also bends to be pressed tightly against the cable 12111 to hold the cable in position relatively to the elbow. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
