Abstract: FIXED COUNT TERMINAL A fixed count terminal provides an enclosed housing for the connection of service wires to telephone conductors contained in a communication cable. The fixed count terminal has a support bracket which is clamped to a support strand portion of the communication cable with a mounting bar extending between the points whereat the support bracket is clamped to the support strand. A cable portion of the communication cable is clamped to the support bracket by Z-shaped brackets and ground clamps and a tension bar extends between the Z brackets. A barrier wall divides the fixed count terminal into terminal and cable compartments and has a plurality of break away partitions which can be removed so that terminal modules may be positioned on the barrier wall. A base is also secured to the support bracket at the bottom of the barrier wall and has grommeted openings through which the service wires may be extended into the fixed count terminal and coupled to conductors in the communication cable via the terminal modules. Terminal and cable side covers are hingedly mounted on the base and enclose respectively the terminal and cable sides of the fixed count terminal. A nozzle is located at both ends of the fixed count terminal with each nozzle forming the entrance for the communication cable into the fixed count terminal. In an alternate embodiment, an auxiliary cable may be clamped to the support bracket by a Z-shaped bracket so that conductors within the branch cable also can be coupled to the conductors in the communication cable.

Abstract: DISTRIBUTING FRAME AND TERMINAL BLOCK MEMBER ASSEMBLIES A distributing frame having a terminal block member attached to it by a mounting bracket which is secured either to the block member or a frame member by one of two interconnected mounting parts lying in different planes. Loosening of screw securing means passing through one of the mounting parts allows for relative movement of the mounting bracket and the respective member to reposition the securing means in the other mounting parts. This causes change in the angle of orientation of the bracket and respective member and thus causes the block member to pivot on the frame member. To connect electrical wiring to terminals on each side of the block member, it may thus be mounted in one of two alternative positions without removal from the frame while using a simple, one-piece bracket.
