ARRANGEMENT FOR CLOSING A CABLE SOCKET FOR CONNECTING AND BRANCHING CABLES, PARTICULARLY TELECOMMUNICATION CABLES

摘要

An arrangement for closing a cable socket for connecting and branching cables, particularly telecommunication cables. The arrangement includes a longitudinally divided socket pipe and closing sections which each have an undercut and limit the longitudinal division. The arrangement also includes a closure which engages the undercuts and extends over the closing sections. The closure is a gripping closure which includes a cover member and a gripping stirrup, wherein the cover member has at one longitudinal side thereof a claw for engaging behind one of the closing sections. At the other longitudinal side of the cover member, the gripping stirrup is pivotally mounted and forms in the pivoted state a claw for engaging behind the other closing section. When the gripping stirrup is pivoted beyond a dead center position, the longitudinal edges of the socket pipe are pressed together.
