  • Patent number: 8919221
    Abstract: A cable gland and gasket ring assembly includes a gasket ring and a cable gland formed of a shell, a collar, a packing ring and a connection ring for securing a cable to a junction box. The gasket ring is an annular member, having a first end face, a second end face opposing the first end face, a plurality of annular ribs concentrically arranged on the first end face and an annular convex portion located on the second end face, which is mounted on the first connection ring segment for enabling the annular ribs to be stopped against the stop face and a tapered inner surface located on the inside of the stop flange segment for stopping against a tapered outside surface of the packing ring. The packing ring further has at least one outer annular groove extending around the periphery of the second packing ring segment thereof.

  • Patent number: 8485062
    Abstract: A double-lock cable and flexible conduit gland formed of a shell, a collar, a packing ring, and a connection ring is disclosed. The shell has an axial through hole. The collar has an axial through hole. The packing ring has an axial through hole surrounded by a first packing ring segment and a second packing ring segment thereof. The collar is inserted into the axial through hole of the shell. The packing ring is mounted in the axial through hole of the collar. The connection ring and the shell are fastened together by a screw joint, causing the first packing ring segment and second packing ring segment of the packing ring to be wrapped about the inserted cable or the inserted cable and flexible conduit tightly, achieving a double-lock function and protecting against moisture and dust particles.
