Abstract: A cable clamping device of the rotary jaw type is provided with means for adjusting its cable-receiving and cable-clamping capabilities. The adjustment means permits selective adjustment of the effective cable-receiving or cable-clamping dimension of the clamp. For example, the male member of the rotary jaw clamp is fitted with a rotatable sleeve which has an internal bore having a longitudinal axis angularly displaced from the axis of the sleeve. Rotation of the sleeve results in a change in the size of the cable-receiving and cable-clamping bore of the clamp.

Abstract: An improved rotary jaw clamping device is disclosed for use with cables, wires and the like which includes means disposed between the rotating jaws of the clamp to adjust the cable-receiving and cable-clamping capability of the clamp to enable its use with cables of varying diameters.

Abstract: A cable connector is disclosed having the capacity to secure simultaneously a number of cables or wires having different diameters. The connector includes a common male member and a plurality of female members adapted to rotate thereon and means for providing to each clamping element a variable clamping capability.

Abstract: An improved cable clamp of the hinged-jaw type is disclosed utilizing a male jaw having a C-shaped cross sectional configuration to enhance the spring action of the clamp. The female jaw includes a pocket for receiving the butt end of the clamp. This pocket in conjunction with an adjacent pressure surface on the male jaw causes lateral deformation of the cable within the clamp to increase pull-out resistance and lessen the tendency for cable twist. Altenative embodiments utilize transverse recesses in the male head to save on materials and pairs of hinged jaws for use in in-line connectors.

Abstract: A cable clamp having jaws hingedly connected at one end by a hinge having a diametrical bore through which a cable can be inserted between the jaws, is energized by tension applied to the other ends of the jaws by a means acting to draw the jaws together into clamping engagement with a cable engaged between the jaws.
