<p>A device for locating or gripping an elongate member (21), for example an insulated electrical conductor or cable, includes a pair of jaws (1, 2) made at least partly of resilient plastics material and a camming means (16) into which the pair of jaws is insertable, with the end (3) of the jaws first, for the purpose of engaging two opposite, outwardly-facing surfaces (11, 12) of the pair of jaws with a pair of opposed, inwardly-facing surfaces (23, 24) of the camming means so that the jaws are urged towards one another in order to locate or grip the elongate member (21) between confronting faces (6) of the two jaws. To enable the device to locate or grip elongate members (21) having a wide range of cross-sectional areas, the jaws (1, 2) and/or the camming means (16) are so shaped that, when the pair of jaws is fully inserted into the camming means with no elongate member (21) between the confronting faces (6), the urging together of the jaws (1, 2) takes place by engagement between limited areas (19, 20) of the outwardly-facing surfaces (11, 12) of the pair of jaws and the adjacent inwardly-facing surfaces (23, 24) of the camming means, there being a gap (25) between the surfaces (11) and (23) and a gap (26) between the surfaces (12) and (24) in regions extending from the end of the pair of jaws remote from the end (3) towards the latter end.</p> |
