CABLE RETAINING APPARATUS

摘要

A cable retaining apparatus, or trefoil cleat, for retaining three power cables is disclosed. Two halves of the cleat are hinged together and between them engage the three cables. There is also a clamping portion for pulling the two halves together which includes a clamping member at the non-hinged end of each half. Both clamping members have holes through them and one hole has an internal thread. There is also a bolt that extends through the non-threaded hole and into the threaded hole. The bolt has a non-threaded portion that extends at least between the clamping members when the cleat is in use.

主权项

1. A cable retaining apparatus for retaining at least one cable, the apparatus comprising:
at least one first cable retaining member adapted to engage at least one portion of at least one cable; at least one second cable retaining member adapted to engage at least one portion of said at least one cable or at least one portion of at least one further cable; at least one clamping portion for pulling said first and second retaining members into clamping engagement with the or each cable, at least one clamping portion comprising
at least one first clamping member connected to said first cable retaining member adjacent a second end of said first cable retaining member and having an aperture extending therethrough,at least one second clamping member connected to said second cable retaining member adjacent a second end of said second cable retaining member and having a second aperture extending therethrough, said second aperture having at least one first threaded portion, andat least one bolt having a respective second threaded portion and adapted to extend at least partially through said first and second apertures such that said second threaded portion engages said first threaded portion so as to pull said retaining members into engagement with the or each cable; wherein said first and second retaining members are hingedly connected to each other at respective first ends thereof by at least one pivot, and said second threaded portion is not located between said first and second clamping members when said bolt pulls said retaining members into engagement with the or each said cable.
