CABLE CLAMPING DEVICE WITH SIZE AND FORCE ADJUSTABILITY

摘要

CABLE CLAMPING DEVICE WITH SIZE AND FORCE ADJUSTABILITY A cable clamping device of the rotary jaw type, including a hook-shaped female member adapted to be mounted on a support, and a male member of symmetrical cross-section with a cylindrical head adapted for rotation within the female hook. Cable-receiving bores in the male and female members and a separate clamping surface on the female shank cooperate to clamp the cable. Size or force adjustability is provided by making the axis of the male bore non-coincident with the axis of symmetry of the male member, and rotating the latter about its axis of symmetry. Cam-locking means are provided to create a resilient clamping pressure on the cable prior to closure, and to ensure positive locking of the device upon complete closure.
