  • Patent number: 6406068
    Abstract: A connection fitting (1) for fastening long bodies (2), such as cables, hoses, or pipes to an opening (3), for example in a wall (4) of a housing, has at least one fastening projection (5) which is divided by slits (6) opening in the radial and axial direction into abutment tongues (7). These tongues (7) have mounting projections (8) on their free ends projecting radially from the axis of the connection fitting (1). These abutment tongues (7) can be deformed radially inwardly of the fastening projection (5), when the fastening projection (5) is shoved into the opening (3), and thereby reach the mounting position behind the edge (12) of the opening (3). At a distance from the mounting projections (8) at least one stop (14) is arranged, which rests in the use position against the edge (15) lying opposite the edge (12) of the opening (3) engaged behind.

  • Publication number: 20020006309
    Abstract: A connection fitting for the fastening of elongated bodies, for example of cables (2) or also hoses, tubes, corrugated hoses and the like, in an opening (3), which can be a through hole or a boring in a wall (4) of a building. The connection fitting includes a clamping collet (9) which, in its operation position, penetrates the opening (3) and is self expanding behind the opening (3), and which, by means of an axial retraction opposite to the direction of insertion, is also radially compressible and thus exerts a clamping force on the elongated body. To effect this motion of retraction, a sheath (11) is provided, which is frictionally connected or force-fit connected with a locking ring (15), which, by rotational movement of the sheath (11) itself turns accordingly and, by its own threading, is axially displaced until the ring (15) abuts the wall (4) on the opening rim (12) and remains there in a stop position. In this way, the respective thickness of the wall (4) is accommodated.
