Abstract: An interchangeable, self-locking, cable gripping and adaptive anchoring apparatus comprising a gripping component and adaptor component. The adaptor component comprises a receiving side for a fitting or anchoring device, and connector side to engage with cable or the like. The gripping component comprises a housing having a cable receiving end and dispatching end. The housing holds cable gripping elements comprising a spring, spacer and two jaws, within a tapering bore of the housing. At the dispatching end, the housing comprises an internal bore for engaging around the connector side of the adaptor component. The gripping component is spring-loaded and self-locking for securing a cable. The pressure of the adaptor component connector side against the spring, spacer and jaws, lock the inserted cable in place to only allow the cable to move in one direction. The adaptor component engages flush against the housing and securely to contain the housing components.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a cable gripping apparatus comprised of a housing with a part conical shaped passageway, two serrated half-jaws, a spacer, a spring, a retaining clip and a cap. The apparatus is spring-loaded and self-locking for gripping and securing a cable. The serrated half-jaws and spring lock the cable in place and only allows the cable to move in one direction. The cap is placed at one end of the apparatus to prevent dirt and moisture from accumulating, thus minimizing the corrosion of the cable.
