PACKING MEMBER, PACKING ASSEMBLY, AND PACKING METHOD Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; packing gates that can pass more than one elongated parts. SUBSTANCE: packing member for gate with bore capable of passing more than one elongated part has body with plurality of axially elongated projecting ribs organizing sections between their circumferentially disposed adjacent pairs to receive one or more mentioned elongated parts. Novelty is that body has adjacent parts of flexible and packing materials. Proposed method for arranging packing between bore and elongated member it passes is characterized in that each elongated member is disposed in respective section between two adjacent elongated ribs of packing member and drawn in longitudinal direction; elongated members are wrapped in retainer for holding them in respective sections, part of each rib protruding in radial direction beyond elongated members is cut off, and packing material strip is axially arranged over assembly circumference in contact with packing section of above-mentioned body to form circular packing band whose size is not less than that of bore being packed. Proposed packing assembly has mentioned packing member and casing with such packing assembly. EFFECT: enhanced speed and reliability of packing any quantity of cables; enlarged functional capabilities of packing system. 22 cl, 18 dwg
