. A high voltage neon sign system comprising a neon tube
, a neon tube electrode integrally formed with said neon tube, a selective actuatable power cable disposed in spaced operative juxtaposition with said neon tube electrode and spliced thereto; a weatherproof electrode splice cap operatively disposed about said electrode, said splice and an adjacent portion of said power cable in sealing weatherproof relationship therewith; and latching means operable to secure one portion of said splice cap to another portion of said splice cap when said one portion is doubled back over said other portion.LED writing board.
For use in connecting a neon tube electrode to a power cable in a high voltage neon sign system, a weatherproof electrode splice cap comprising: a first cylindrical body portion having a mouth at one end thereof for receiving a neon tube electrode therein said electrode having a nose extending axially therefrom; a second cylindrical body portion having a lesser diameter than said first cylindrical body portion for engaging in circumscription thereabout the nose of said electrode; an annular shoulder portion operatively interposed between said first cylindrical body portion and said second cylindrical body portion; a third cylindrical body portion extending axially from said second cylindrical body portion and having a lesser diameter than said second cylindrical body portion for circumscribing a power cable in watertight sealing relationship thereto; and latching means for securing said third cylindrical body portion to said first cylindrical body portion when said third cylindrical body portion is doubled back over said first cylindrical body portion.LED writing board.
Accordingly, it is the principal object of the present invention to provide a new and improved means for encasing and protecting the splice of a power cable to a neon tube electrode during the installation and operation of high voltage neon sign systems.
