A clamping device for wires (ropes or cables) having a body (12), at least one bore (13) through the body, at least one channel (14) in the body converging at an acute angle and into communication with the bore (13) towards an inlet end (15) of the bore, an abutment (16) at the end of the channel remote from the inlet end of the bore, and a wedge (17) movable along the channel, and usually with a coil compression spring (18) between the abutment (16) and the wedge, whereby, upon attempted withdrawal of an inserted wire (27) through the inlet end (15)of the bore (13), the wedge (17) forces the wire into frictional engagement with the wall of the bore opposite the channel, characterized in that to the face of the wedge (17) facing the abutment is permanently attached one end (19) of a rod (20), and a hole (21) is provided through the abutment (16) for sliding of the rod therethrough with the other end (22) of the rod projecting outwards from the hole for pulling engagement by a tool such as a blind-riveting gun to effect release of the wire from the device, thus enabling the device and the wire to be used again. The device may be used as a terminal for a line wire in a fence or a vineyard, or may be adapted to form part of reusable strapping. |
