CABLE LENGTH CLAMPING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: different branches of industry. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to clamping devices to be used where necessity arises to wedge-clamping of length of cable in objects requiring use of flexible coupling in form of cable lengths for friction clamping in thimbles and other devices. According to invention, part to cable length at locking is clamped in through channel of body by means of two spring-loaded rollers. Diameter of each roller is greater than that of cable length. Outer side surface of each roller is made serrated, formed by alternating ring projections and valleys. Each roller is placed inside body in separate seat made in form of longitudinal slot whose width corresponds to diameter of roller. Slots are arranged at angle relative to each other and to longitudinal axis of body through channel and they are provided with thrust end face cylindrical surfaces pointed to inlet hole of body and displaced relative to each other. Several versions of arrangement of rollers inside body and relative to each other and relative to cable length locked in body by rollers are considered. EFFECT: improved reliability of locking. 26 cl, 3 dwg
