  • Device for fitting and gripping of a flexible cable in a cylindrical orifice and high-voltage transformer euipped with this device
    Patent number: 5773758
    Abstract: The disclosure is a device for mechanical assembly of a flexible cable in a cylindrical orifice, including a cable grip member slotted axially and carrying at least two helical threads on the outside and protuberances on the inside. The cylindrical orifice has a thread that engages the threads of the cable grip member. To fit the cable, the cable grip member is pushed axially into the cylindrical orifice, then the flexible cable is inserted axially in the cable grip member. Removal of the cable is achieved by unscrewing the cable grip member from the cylindrical orifice. The protuberances and the compression effect produced by the helical threads pulling on the thread in the cylindrical orifice when axial tension is applied to the cable assure efficient gripping of the cable.
