Patent number: 9488298Abstract: A device for holding together elongate objects such as high-power electrical cables has a frame (30), a strap (12) designed to be fixed at one end to the device and to pass round the cables back to the device with its other end, a spindle (20) rotatably mounted in the frame so as to be generally parallel to the elongate objects in use, the other end of the strap being attachable to the spindle once passed round the cables, and then wound round the spindle by turning the latter in order to tighten the strap round the objects; and a locking mechanism constituted by at least one non-circular section of the spindle (20) and a matching non-circular aperture (33) in the frame, and by the spindle being displaceable along its length with respect to the frame by tightening a locknut (22) so that the non-circular section engages in the corresponding aperture when it is desired to lock it against rotation.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2011Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Ellis Patents Holdings LimitedInventor: Christopher John Calvert

Patent number: 9404605Abstract: A cable guide or cleat for a cable, comprises, in one embodiment, a pivot mounting, a base section on the mounting and an upper section that, when fastened to the base section, a cylindrical guide with clearance for a cable to be passed through the guide for installation, and an insert piece designed to be inserted when the cable is in its final position, so that the base and upper sections, clamp the cable in place. The clearance allows the cable guide to be used first without the insert, when laying the cable, facilitating the laying of the cable round bends in particular. Then, when the cable is in place, the cleat is released again and the insert put in place, so that when the cleat is fastened the cable is securely clamped. Disclosed systems obviate the need for separate temporary guides that would otherwise need storing.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Ellis Patents Holdings LimitedInventors: Andrew Booth, Richard Armitage Shaw
