Patent number: 8122655Abstract: The present invention concerns a frame (1) for receiving one or more elastic modules (2) forming cable entries, pipe penetrations or the like. The frame (1) has a form automatically compressing the one or more modules (2) at mounting to an appliance (7). The compression is made in that the modules (2) are received in a central opening of the frame (1) formed by inclining walls (3) and that the overall dimension of the modules (2) received in the central opening is somewhat larger than the inner dimension of the central opening. The modules (2) protrude from the frame (1) and are therefore further compressed when the frame is mounted to the appliance (7).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2005Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Roxtec ABInventor: Tomas Kreutz

Patent number: 6262370Abstract: A cable transit for protecting against the ingress of liquids and electromagnetic disturbances at a transit location in a wall, including a sleeve and a nut for fitting the transit tightly in the wall. The transit also includes a cable seal which comprises two semi-cylindrical bodies made of a compressible material and together fitting in the sleeve. The semi-cylindrical bodies have an adaptable center hole for accommodating a cable to be passed through the wall, and include several peelable layers. The semi-cylindrical bodies can be pressed together in tight abutment with the sleeve and with the cable, by means of the nut. The standard earthed cable sheet is earthed by means of a conductive screen. At least one peelable layer is removed along a part of the semi-cylindrical bodies, so that the semi-cylindrical bodies will present, at that part, a center hole whose diameter is greater than the diameter along the remaining part of the semi-cylindrical bodies.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: July 17, 2001Assignee: Roxtec ABInventor: Tomas Kreutz
