Strain relief device for cables and fiber optic distribution device

摘要

A strain relief device having a first U-like shaped basic body having first and second opposite lateral walls connected to a second U-like shaped basic body having first and second opposite lateral walls by a film hinge integral with the first and second basic bodies. Wherein the second lateral wall of the second U-like shaped basic body has a recess, wherein the protrusion is insertable into the recess by a film hinge. The first and second basic bodies pivot with respect to each other to transfer the strain relief device between an opened installation state and a closed operation state. The first and second U-like shaped basic bodies releasably lock in the closed state and define in the closed operation state a feed-through channel for a cable to be strain relieved.

1. Strain relief device for cables having strengthening elements, comprising:
a first U-like shaped basic body having first and second opposite lateral walls and a middle wall running between the first and second lateral walls, wherein the second lateral wall of the first U-like shaped basic body has a protrusion; a second U-like shaped basic body having first and second opposite lateral walls and a middle wall running between the first and second lateral walls wherein the second lateral wall of the second U-like shaped basic body has a recess, wherein the protrusion is insertable into the recess; and a film hinge integral with the first and second basic bodies, wherein the first and second U-like shaped basic bodies are joined to each other by the film hinge, and wherein the film hinge is between the first lateral wall of the first U-like shaped basic body and the first lateral wall of the second U-like shaped basic body allowing the two basic bodies to pivot with respect to each other in order to transfer the strain relief device between an opened installation state and a closed operation state, and wherein the two U-like shaped basic bodies define in the closed operation state a feed-through channel for a cable to be strain relieved; wherein in the closed operation state of the strain relief device the protrusion of the first U-like shaped basic body inserts into the recess of the second U-like shaped basic body thereby retaining the strain relief device in the closed operation state and wherein the protrusion and the recess are configured to clamp a strengthening elements of the cable to be strain relieved.
