CONNECTOR FOR A SAFETY CABLE

摘要

A connector for use with a cable includes a cable guide having a channel through which the cable extends and a housing having a cavity configured and arranged to receive the cable guide. A plurality of interconnecting members pivotally interconnect the cable guide and the housing. In a first position, the cable guide moves toward a back of the housing and the plurality of interconnecting members allow the cable to be released. In a second position, the cable guide moves toward a front of the housing and the plurality of interconnecting members engage the cable. The connector is anchored to an anchorage point so that a longitudinal axis of the housing extends generally parallel to the cable when the housing is anchored to the anchorage point thereby minimizing damage to the cable during use.
