  • Patent number: 11495949
    Abstract: A cable clamping apparatus (2) is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a housing (4) defining a first aperture (6) for a cable, an actuator member (24), and clamping members (22). Movement of the clamping members relative to the actuator member in an axial direction of a cable extending through the apparatus causes sliding movement of the clamping members relative to the actuator member between a first condition, in which the cable can move in the axial direction relative to the clamping members, and a one second condition, in which the cable is clamped between the clamping members. A plurality of the clamping members overlap in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 11245253
    Abstract: A dispenser apparatus for a curable liquid material is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a flexible bag defining a first compartment for accommodating a first component of a curable liquid material, and a second compartment for accommodating a second component of the curable liquid material and adapted to communicate with the first chamber to enable mixing of the first and second components to initiate curing of the curable liquid material. A first clamp temporarily prevents mixing of the first and second components, and an elongate nozzle communicates with the second compartment to dispense the mixed curable liquid material therefrom. A second clamp temporarily prevents passage of the curable liquid material from the second compartment to the nozzle.

  • Patent number: 9935443
    Abstract: A cable gland having a first cable gland portion and a second cable gland portion in engagement with each other is disclosed. The cable gland comprises earthing members (60) in electrical engagement with the first and second gland portions, each earthing member including a spike (68) for penetrating through a sheath layer of an electrical cable, following radially inward movement of the spike, thereby forming an electrical earth connection with a conducting portion of a cable. The first gland portion comprises a first cam surface and the second gland portion comprises a second cam surface, wherein the first and second cam surfaces are adapted to engage respective earthing member cam surfaces (72, 74) of the earthing member, the first and second cam surfaces thereby causing the earthing member and the corresponding spike to move radially inwards as the first and second gland portions are brought into threaded engagement with each other.

  • Patent number: 9353892
    Abstract: A cable retaining apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a band that is wrapped around a group of cables and a clamping portion that holds the ends of the band. The clamping portion has a body portion that is fixed to one end of the band. The body portion also has an axle mounted to it, the axle having a slot cut into it to receive the other end of the band. The end of the axle has a rotatable head for engagement by a tool such as a spanner so that rotation of the head causes the axle to rotate. The body portion also has an aperture that is aligned with an aperture in the axle so that a pin can extend through the apertures to prevent rotation of the axle. In use the band is placed round the cables and its end inserted into the slot. The axle is then rotated and band winds around the axle until it tightens around the cable. The pin is then inserted into the apertures to prevent the band unwinding.
