<p>A device to anchor a cable end with a clamping type action, of the general type embodying male and female jaw members having respective tails for connection to another body; of a non-shearing type; characterized particularly by five points where pressure is applied to a cable, e.g., of a helically braided, stranded type; the fifth pressure point being in the form of a transverse ridge or equivalent projection which is spaced toward the butt end of the cable from a third pressure surface exerting pressure in the same direction as the ridge; a fourth pressure surface exerting pressure against the opposite side of the cable at a point intermediate the third and fifth pressure points, the fifth point ridge bending the cable end toward the opposed fourth pressure surface to improve the grip thereof and hence the pullout resistance of the connector. The ridge which constitutes the fifth pressure element, acting at a point where its indenting action cannot weaken the cable, may have sharp edges extending along its transverse length so as to embody the dual function of improved pull-out resistance and crossing the helically protruding stranded surface of the cable in a manner to resist untwisting movement of the cable which tends to occur under cable tension.</p> |
