  • Patent number: 4933512
    Abstract: To reduce the number of parts, assembly work time and cost of a cable closure including a two-splittable cylindrical sleeve for covering the cable junction point, and a pair of two-dividable annular end plates fitted to both inner ends of the sleeve to close spaces between the cables and the sleeve, the end plates are formed by a rigid plastic material and gaps between the cable and the end plates are sealed by rubber airtight tape wound around the cable by adjusting the number of turns according to cable diameter. Further, two cable gripping means are fixed to the end plates, respectively to protect the junction point from external force applied between the two cables by the strength of the sleeve coupled to the end plates.
