Abstract: A splicing device is provided for being fastened to one end of a cable wherein fibers/wires in the cable are connectable to the device. Further, the cable sheathing is brased to the device by a tightening procedure. The connection of the device to the cable is made under a controlled environmental condition, for instance, in a factory, during transport to the place of cable laying, or the like. The device is designed in a watertight design wherein the cable is allowed to be lowered down into water without further measures needing to be taken. The device further can be opened, in which connections for the measuring equipment are accessible. Measuring of the cable after that can be performed. The device is usable, for instance, in the laying of a submarine cable from cable ships. The device includes a splicing part and a measurement connection part. In the splicing part of the device, the fibers/wires of the cable are connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for attaching anchors, especially to sailing and motor boats and includes a strong, flat, flexible band which is comparatively thin in relation to its width and is attached to the anchor at one end and connected at its other end to a band magazine which comprises a reel built up of two rigidly interconnected end wall plates which are non-rotatably attachable to a convenient part of the boat. The wall plates are spaced apart from one another at a distance only slightly wider than the band width, and a rotatable sleeve which is mounted centrally on the end wall plates is rotatable by means of a crank or the like and is provided with an attachment for the band end.
