Abstract
A closure seal that provides an environmental seal about an electrical cable which includes an upper sealing block adapted to be clamped to a lower sealing block so that the cable is encompassed by the two sealing blocks, each block composed of a resilient deformable material and includes a pair of spaced apart arms disposed within the blocks. Each arm lying on a line that is substantially radial to the cable and being pivoted at the end remote from the cable. The seal is useful for sealing an electrical adaptor of the type which incorporates a socket that accepts a plug rated to a first maximum current load, a circuit breaker set for the first maximum current load, a residual circuit device and wherein the socket is enclosed in a compartment adapted to receive the plug and the compartment is provided with a releasable cover.
