Abstract: A pulling tool for gripping a cable or cables, especially fragile cables such as fiber optic cables. The pulling tool can pull such fragile cables with or without fragile connectors coupled to their free ends. The pulling tool has a mesh sleeve with an open tail end for receiving the ends of the cables, and a closed lead end with a ring or pulling member coupled thereto. The sleeve is constructed of a plurality of thin, flexible strands tightly interwoven together to form a longitudinally compressible and laterally expandable tube. The strands are tightly interwoven to prevent the cables or connectors from protruding outwardly from the sleeve. The sleeve is also highly flexible to permit the sleeve to be folded or rolled up.

Abstract: A flat elbow/one direction tee fitting having a hollow generally L-shaped body including a pair of angularly spaced apart legs joined at a corner and partially defined by rectilinearly extending outer sidewalls and an arcuate inner sidewall. Each of the two legs has a raceway receiving opening at its free end. The corner defines a knockout which is removeable to form a third raceway receiving opening. The body is defined by a mounting base and a cover releasably retained in snap together assembly with the mounting base.

Abstract: A connector for coupling an electrical conduit in an aperture in a support having a wall of variable thickness. The connector includes a body member having resilient legs with locking tongues on one end and a conduit retaining formation on the other end, and a frusto-conical spring coupled to the body member. The spring is integrally coupled to the body member between the locking tongues and retaining formation. The connector is sealingly engaged with the support by engagement of the spring on one side of the support and engagement of the locking tongues on the other side.

Abstract: A connector for coupling an electrical conduit to a support, such as junction box, having variable thickness. The connector includes a one-piece tubular body member with resilient legs having locking tongues, external threads, and a receiving formation for receiving the conduit; and a one-piece take-up nut with an abutment surface and internal threads for engaging the external threads of the body member. The resilient legs are snapped into the support, and the take-up nut is screwed onto the body, clamping the support between the locking tongues of the legs and the abutment surface of the take-up nut. The electrical conduit is frictionally retained in an annular recess in the body member or is threadedly retained within the hollow portion of the body member or within the take-up nut. The conduit is a sheath, cable, or other suitable signal line.
