<p>PURPOSE:To limit bending deformation surely by providing a bend limiting member having an arched guide surface the radius of which is less than the initial bend radius before the inside arc surface is deformed and greater than the allowable bend radius of a cable. CONSTITUTION:A bend limiting member 6 is made concave so as to be in line with the circumference of a cable on both sides of its cross section. In the longitudinal direction the bend limiting member 6 is bent with a designated radius R so that the concave surface may be expanded outward, by which an arched guide surface 6a is formed. The guide surface 6a is supported so as to stretch in a row to a cable gripping groove 3a of one of clamp main bodies 3 by fixing an end of it in the longitudinal direction by welding, etc., to the periphery of the cable gripping groove 3a. This radius R is selected within the limits less than the bend surface when the offset-shaped cable was designed and within those over no minimum value of the allowable bend radius of the cable.</p> |
