- Distribution to and or storage in equatorial regions may expose the sealing assemblies to temperatures in excess of 85 degrees Celsius, outside of the temperature range of gel seals. Also, in the frequently vertical configuration of a cable to antenna attachment, a sealing system using gel near the maximum specified temperature may become compromised due to gel migration and or leakage.

- Vibration may lead to loosening and eventual release of threaded interconnections.
- Prior enclosures that seal against the cables entering and leaving the enclosure typically surround the interconnection point without specifically contacting rotatable nuts or the like of the connector. Therefore, an enclosure that provides an acceptable environmental seal may fail to prevent vibration, for example induced by wind upon exposed cable runs along radio towers, from eventually loosening and degrading the mechanical and electrical interconnection of the enclosed connector(s).

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a device for environmentally sealing and securing the interconnection between cables and or apparatus, for example feed and or control cables interconnected with an antenna.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Electrical interconnections are subject to degradation from environmental factors such as moisture, vibration and repeated expansion and contraction from daily temperature changes.
- Environmental seals such as an outer sealing enclosure that surrounds an electrical interconnection have been used, for example, to surround a cable end connector to cable end connector interconnection. The, for example, injection molded plastic enclosures have been configured to surround the cable interconnection with two halves in a clamshell hinged configuration that is sealed with a gel composition at cable exit points proximate either end. Alternatively, the enclosure may be entirely filled with a gel composition to provide a watertight and vibration dampening seal. The gel composition is useful because the exact radius of the cable that is sealed against may vary. However, gel sealing compositions are typically limited to environments where the temperature will be 60 degrees Celsius or less. Distribution to and or storage in equatorial regions may expose the sealing assemblies to temperatures in excess of 85 degrees Celsius, outside of the temperature range of gel seals. Also, in the frequently vertical configuration of a cable to antenna attachment, a sealing system using gel near the maximum specified temperature may become compromised due to gel migration and or leakage.
- The prior enclosures typically use multiple hook into slot closure configurations which, once closed, may be difficult to open, especially when installed in exposed locations such as atop radio towers. Gel seals are typically not reusable and or have only a limited number of re-uses before they must be replaced.
- Vibration may lead to loosening and eventual release of threaded interconnections. Prior enclosures that seal against the cables entering and leaving the enclosure typically surround the interconnection point without specifically contacting rotatable nuts or the like of the connector. Therefore, an enclosure that provides an acceptable environmental seal may fail to prevent vibration, for example induced by wind upon exposed cable runs along radio towers, from eventually loosening and degrading the mechanical and electrical interconnection of the enclosed connector(s).
- Feed and or control cable connections to antennas are also subject to environmental degradation. The interconnection with an antenna is typically to a connector body mounted to an exterior surface of the antenna. Therefore, there is a limited surface area on the antenna side of the interconnection with which to form a seal. Because of this, prior practice has been to seal the antenna interconnection, or other apparatus with similar exterior surface mounted connectors, using a time consuming sealing wrap using rolls of butyl rubber, plastic and heat or cold shrink tape. The reliability of this form of manually applied seal is dependant upon the training and motivation of the installation personnel, which may be negatively influenced by the often hazardous and or environmentally exposed locations, for example high atop radio towers, where they are installed. Further, once installed, a sealing wrap must be destroyed to again access the interconnection.
- Competition within the electrical interface environmental seal industry has focused attention on reliability, reusability, ease of use, improved high temperature capabilities and overall reductions in manufacturing and installation costs.
- Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a device that overcomes deficiencies in the prior art.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

FIG. 10 is a close up view of area A ofFIG. 9 . -
FIG. 11 is an isometric view of the second embodiment closed and locked around the cable to apparatus connection. - Connections to an apparatus, for example an antenna, are typically made to a connector body or other connection assembly mounted to an exterior surface of the antenna. Because the connector body or other connection assembly is flush against a surface, a cable to cable interconnection sealing assembly that tapers at either end to the same cable diameter is unusable.
- As shown for example by
FIGS. 1-6 , a sealing assembly 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention hasinternal shell 3 halves adapted to seal against each other and around a desiredinterconnection space 4. Theshell 3 halves may be formed, for example, from an impact resistant plastic using injection molding. - The mating surface(s) 5 of the
shell 3 halves are adapted to mate with each other and around opening(s) 2 formed between the shell(s) 3 dimensioned to accept the outer diameter of thecable 7 and or apparatus connector body 9 at a cable end 6 and an apparatus end 8, respectively. - A
gasket 11 lines eachmating surface 5 to seal the interconnection of eachshell 3 half with the other and around the outer diameter of thecable 7 and the apparatus connector body 9. Thegasket 11 may be formed from, for example, liquid injection molded/liquid silicone rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, molded closed-cell foam or the like having suitable sealing and environmental resistance and stability characteristics. - A plurality of locking rib(s) 13 or the like may be formed on internal surfaces of the
shell 3 halves projecting into theinterconnection space 4, dimensioned to contact acoupling nut 15 which mates with the apparatus connector body 9 to connect thecable 7 to the apparatus. The locking rib(s) 13 prevent rotation of thecoupling nut 15 within theinterconnection space 4, thereby inhibiting unthreading of thecoupling nut 15. - A
locking band 17 is adapted to surround the twohalves 3, retaining them in a sealing position around thecable 7 and the apparatus connector body 9. Thelocking band 17 may have a hingedportion 20 formed, for example, as a hinge or alternatively as a living hinge to aid closure of thelocking band 17 around theshell 3 halves. Thelocking band 17 is securable around theshell 3 halves, linked end to end to itself via a retention means such as, for example, ahook 19 which interlocks with afin 21 or the like. Thelocking band 17 is retained axially upon theshell 3 halves between shoulder(s) 23 formed at either end of eachshell 3 half. - As shown in
FIGS. 3 and 4 , once secured, thelocking band 17 loosely retains theshell 3 halves around thecable 7 and apparatus connector body 9. Inward projectingprotrusions 25 at hingedportion 20 and closure point 27 retain thelocking band 17 in a closed position nested between outward projectingprotrusions 29 formed at the mating surface(s) 5 of the twoshell 3 halves. Thelocking band 17 is rotatable past the outward projectingprotrusions 29 around the twoshell 3 halves to a locked position whereby the inward projecting protrusions 26 engage and interlock with depression(s) 31 formed in eachshell 3 half. Mated together the twoshell 3 halves form an elliptical cross section with a decreased outer diameter at the mating surface(s) 5 and an increased diameter proximate the depression(s) 31. Thereby, as thelocking band 17 is rotated from the closed position to the locked position, as shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 , the pressure exerted inwards by thelocking band 17 upon the twoshell 3 halves and the gasket(s) 11 between them increases. Preferably, the depression(s) 31 are formed at a half-way point between the mating surface(s) 5 so that the increased inward pressure of the locked position evenly pressures the gasket(s) 11 toward each other and against thecable 7 and apparatus connector body 9. - In use, the sealing assembly 1 is applied by pressing the
cable 7 and apparatus connector body 9 into place, seated in one of theshell 3 halves. Theshell 3 half is oriented so that the locking rib(s) 13 seat against thecoupling nut 15 and theother shell 3 half mated with thefirst shell 3 half, enclosing the interconnection of thecable 7 and apparatus connector body 9 between them. Thelocking band 17 is then wrapped around theshell 3 halves and thehook 19 mated with thefin 21. The sealing assembly 1 is then locked by rotating thelocking band 17 about the twoshell 3 halves from the closed to locked position where the inward projecting protrusion(s) 26 of thelocking band 17 engage the depression(s) 31. - To remove the sealing assembly 1, the
locking band 17 is rotated from the locked to closed position where the reduced cross section of theshell 3 halves creates additional play to enable thehook 19 to be disengaged from thefin 21. Once opened or fully removed, the sealing assembly 1 may be reused. - In a second embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 7-11 , similar elements notated as described with respect to the first embodiment, theshell 3 halves of the first embodiment are replaced with threeshell 3 wedges. Theshell 3 wedges are hinged together via hinge portion(s) 20. Theshell 3 wedges are adapted to encircle acable 7 and apparatus connector body 9 and interlock with each other via a retention means here arranged as a plurality ofholes 33 that engage a plurality of fin(s) 21. A lockingbar 35 that extends from theholes 33 creates a lever operable my hand for ease of closure and re-opening of the sealing assembly 1. - Because the
shell 3 wedges section the circumference of the sealing assembly 1 into thirds, the opportunity for pinching of the gasket(s) 11 during closure is reduced. The locking band may be omitted because when closed, theshell 3 wedge geometry of the second embodiment improves equalization of the pressure betweenadjacent gasket 11 surfaces and inwards towards thecable 7 and apparatus connector body 9. To form an improved seal at the junction between eachadjacent gasket 11 and thecable 7 or apparatus connector body 9, protruding compensation spike(s) 37 as shown for example inFIG. 10 may be formed in thegasket 11. The increased gasket material added via the compensation spike(s) 37 increases the sealing pressure between the gasket(s) 11 and also against thecable 7 or connector body 9. - As demonstrated in the second embodiment, the gasket(s) 11 may be adapted to have increased contact area via an increased width along the longitudinal axis of the
cable 7 to improve sealing against, for example, a range of different possible annular or helical corrugations that may be formed in the outer conductors of the various cable(s) 7 that the sealing assembly 1 may be installed upon. To minimize the expense ofadditional gasket 11 material, the increased contact area may be formed with aninner groove 39 that divides the seal into two separate seals. - One skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments described herein may also be adapted for other apparatus and cable interconnection configurations. For example, the apparatus connector body 9 may exit a side of the apparatus for connection with a
cable 7 or jumper having a right angle apparatus connector body. For this and other situations, the sealing assembly 1 according to the various embodiments of the invention may be modified so that theshell 3 halves orshell 3 wedges and respective openings are adapted to surround the desired cable and apparatus interconnection. - From the foregoing, it will be apparent that the present invention brings to the art a sealing assembly 1 useful, for example, for re-useable sealing of cable to apparatus connections having improved performance, ease of installation and significant manufacturing and installation cost efficiencies.
