  • Patent number: 7408122
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable gland. The latter comprises a gland body for feeding a cable therethrough, an elastic sealing ring that is applicable to the front side of the gland body and whose internal diameter essentially corresponds to the diameter of the cable, and a gland ring that is applicable to the sealing ring on the opposite side of the gland body and is maintained by connecting means in an assembled condition at such an axial distance from the gland body that the sealing ring is clamped between the gland ring and the gland body so that its radially inner surface is pressed against the cable. These connecting means form a snap-on connection that is closable for the assembly of the cable gland by axially pushing together the gland ring and the gland body and that connects the gland ring and the gland body undetachably in their closed condition.
