Embodiment Construction

[0021] Figure 1-4 Various views of embodiments of a flex-type strain relief are shown. As shown, the strain relief 10 includes at least one body 12 having at least a first surface 14 . In the illustrated embodiment, the abatement device body 12 includes a ring shape. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the device body 12 may be formed in any variety of shapes and configurations. For example, image 3 An embodiment of a flex-type strain relief device 10 having a substantially rectangular device body 12 is shown.

[0022] refer again Figure 1-4 , in one embodiment, the elimination device body 12 is made of aluminum. In another embodiment, the abatement device body 12 is made of at least one polymer. Alternatively, the abatement device body 12 may be made of any variety or combination of materials including, but not limited to, steel, alloys, plastics, polymers, elastomers, rubber, silicon, composites, natural fibers and materials, etc. . In this way, the cance...

Abstract

The present application is directed to a flexure-type strain relief device and includes a device body having a first surface and at least one support member formed on the device body, at least one fastener receiver may be formed in and traversing through the device body, at least one flex channel formed in and traversing through the device body and configured to be selectively movable in relation to at least one of the first surface of the device body and the support member of the device body, and at least one conduit receiving port formed in the flex channel wherein at least one transverse dimension of the receiving port configured to be selectively adjustable by controllably moving the flex channel thereby applying at least one clamping force to at least one conduit positioned within the receiving port.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 904,890, filed November 15, 2013, entitled "Flexure-Type Strain Relief Device," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Currently, catheters, wires, fiber optic components, waveguides, etc. are used in an increasing number of devices and applications. Typically, these conduits provide power, control information, etc. to one or more processors and / or devices located within or on the working surface. Over time, translation, motion, and / or additional stress can cause the catheter to weaken, break, separate, or otherwise fail. For example, often such failures occur at the connection point between the catheter and the device and / or structure to which the catheter supplies power, information, or other material. Thus, the functionality of the system may be compromised. [0004] In view ...
