Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A self-piercing connector comprising, a first body, a second body, the first body comprising a first cutting member for piercing a fluid conduit insulating layer to engage a fluid conduit first conductor, the second body comprising a second cutting member for piercing the fluid conduit insulating layer to engage a fluid conduit second conductor, the first cutting member having a semi-circular form and comprising portions that extend tangentially from each end of the first cutting member, the second cutting member having a semi-circular form and comprising portions that extend tangentially from each end of the second cutting member, the first cutting member and the second cutting member electrically isolated from each other, the first body comprising a first connection member for engaging a cooperating second connection member on the second body, a first body receiver for receiving an electrical conductor connectable to the first cutting member, and a second body receiver for receiving an electrical conductor connectable to the second cutting member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A self-piercing connector comprising; a first body; a second body; the first body comprising a first cutting member for piercing a fluid conduit insulating layer to engage a fluid conduit first conductor; the second body comprising a second cutting member for piercing the fluid conduit insulating layer to engage a fluid conduit second conductor; the first cutting member having a semi-circular form and comprising portions that extend tangentially from each end of the first cutting member; the second cutting member having a semi-circular form and comprising portions that extend tangentially from each end of the second cutting member; the first cutting member and the second cutting member electrically isolated from each other; the first body comprising a first connection member for engaging a cooperating second connection member on the second body; a first body receiver for receiving an electrical conductor connectable to the first cutting member; and a second body receiver for receiving an electrical conductor connectable to the second cutting member. 2. The self-piercing connector as in claim 1 , wherein the first body and the second body are not electrically conductive. 3. The self-piercing connector as in claim 1 , wherein the fluid conduit conveys a liquid. 4. The self-piercing connector as in claim 1 , wherein the first connection member comprises a latch. 5. The self-piercing connector as in claim 4 , wherein the second connection member comprises a hook.
