Abstract: A clamp for inserting an elastic strand into an opening of a receptacle. The clamp includes a longitudinal housing capable of housing a segment of the strand and through which the strand may slide. The clamp further includes: a blocking element including a first portion of the housing, the blocking element deforming a first portion of the housed segment when an external pressure is applied to the blocking element, the elastic force of the strand returning the first portion of the segment to its initial shape when the external pressure is no longer applied, the sliding of the strand being blocked by the bending deformation of the first portion of the housed segment; a guide including a second portion of the housing, the guide at least partially surrounding a second portion of the housed segment, and configured to guide the clamp in the direction of the opening in the receptacle.

Abstract: An end piece is provided for guiding a needle intended to be inserted in a sheath occupied by at least one installed cable. The end piece includes: a free first end referred to as a head of a shape suited to slipping in between an internal wall of the sheath and the at least one installed cable; a second end fixed to the needle; and a part connecting the two ends and referred to as a shank. The shank has a flexibility that increases toward the head.

Abstract: A transmission cable installation device is provided, which includes a protective sheath surrounding at least one transmission cable and having at least one longitudinal recess. A rigid element is inserted in one of said at least one recess. Also provided are a protective sheath and a profiled support suitable for being inserted in a recess in the protective sheath.

Abstract: A device for installing or removing a cable in cable conduits within which a current of water is also conveyed is disclosed. The device includes an electric motor to provide for progression of the cable, a heat engine controlling either a hydraulic circuit or an air compression circuit, and sensors to measure the progression of the cable. The sensors are linked to a CPU to drive the electric motor and the heat engine. The device is compact and can be positioned on a single trailer that is towable by a light vehicle, making the device easy to move on a job site.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a device for installing and/or removing a cable (300) in conduits (500) for passage of cables. The device includes a thrust means to provide for progression of the cable, a heat engine controlling either a hydraulic circuit or an air compression circuit, and sensors to measure the progression of the cable. The sensors are linked to a CPU to drive the thrust means and the heat engine.

Abstract: A reel for paying out elongate elements for interior cabling of buildings.

Abstract: A method for installing and/or removing a cable (300) in conduits (500) for the passage of cables and to an associated implementing device. According to this method, a current of water is conveyed inside the conduits (500), the cable (300) to be installed has a conduit fill rate that can attain 90%, and the conduits (500) form a winding course on a length greater than 2000 m. This method is chiefly characterized in that the cable (300) is subjected to a thrust force that drives its speed of progression (v), and in that said thrust force and the pressure of the water flowing in the conduits are regulated so as to maintain a constant water flow rate inside the conduits (500).

Abstract: In a device for placing a structural element in a cable installation conduit in order to sub-divide it, the structural element has a width close to the size of the internal perimeter of the conduit and comprises a plate surmounted by ribs. The device comprises a hot air inlet designed to soften the plate of the structural element; an external cylinder whose diameter is identical to that of the conduit, the cylinder comprising a shaping cone at one end in order to enable the softened structural element in order to gradually take a cylindrical shape; and an internal core fixedly held at a position located in the shaping cone of the external cylinder and positioned inside the softened structural element in order to give it a constant internal diameter when it is being shaped.
