Patent number: 12066674Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a telecommunications enclosure (1) and a method for coupling a cable to a cable port of the telecommunications enclosure. The latter comprises a casing (10), a base (20) adapted to be removably coupled to the casing (10), and a plurality of sealing assemblies (40) adapted to be removably coupled to the base (20). Each sealing assembly (40) comprises an elastically deformable sealing module (43) interposed between a first member (46) and a second member (58). The first member (46) and second member (58) comprise each a main portion (47, 59) and a movable portion (51, 63), wherein the movable portion (51, 63) is movable between an open position, wherein a cable is allowed to access to the elastically deformable sealing module (43), and a closed position; the elastically deformable sealing module (43) has an access (44) to allow the cable to enter the respective cable port (42) when the movable portions (51, 63) are in the open position.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2022Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Prysmian S.p.A.Inventors: Simon James Frampton, Nathan Paddick

Patent number: 11353087Abstract: A gripping device for retaining a cable includes a base, two opposed gripping arms projecting from the base towards respective end portions along an insertion direction and mutually spaced apart along a transversal direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. The gripping arms include retaining portions configured to receive the cable therebetween and insertion portions configured to allow insertion of the cable towards the retaining portions. The gripping device includes first protrusions projecting from the retaining portions, extending along a first direction angled with respect to the insertion direction and configured to act on the cable to retain the cable between the retaining portions. The gripping device includes second protrusions projecting from the insertion portions and extending along a second direction angled with respect to the insertion direction, where each of the second protrusions being tapered along the insertion direction towards the respective end portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: PRYSMIAN S.P.A.Inventors: Simon James Frampton, Kris Jonathan Roberts, Arnaud Le Dissez, Nathan Paddick, Phil Wedgbrow, Andrew Paul Barnes
