A cable fixation device comprises a clamp including a head portion and a body portion along with a lumen extending therethrough. The head portion is removably coupleable with an actuating mechanism. The lumen is sized and shaped to slidably accommodate a cable in combination with a clamping ring including a channel extending therethrough. The channel includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is sized and shaped to slidably accommodate the cable therethrough. The second portion is sized and shaped to engage the clamp. A portion of the clamp is movable between a first configuration and a second configuration, the cable slidable therethrough in the first configuration. The portion of the clamp moves radially inward in the second configuration to clamp the cable.

A method whereby the strands (13,13A) are fixed one after another between two cable anchors (A,B) integral with the structure. The method consists: in pulling on one of the ends of a strand (13A) from one (A) of the cable anchors, while the other end is fixed on the other cable anchor (B); continuously testing the tensioning condition of the strand (13A), the condition involving in particular the measured values of the strand tension and of a predetermined parameter. The invention is characterized in that the predetermined parameter is the variation of the distance separating the cable anchors (A,B).

Disclosed is cable restraint including a flexible and resilient cable retainer including a cable retaining body and a plurality of cable grips, the body and grips defining a cable cavity that is contoured to partially house a cable, a tie down portion extending from a tie down end of the cable retainer, the tie down portion being configured to allow association of the tie down portion with an electronic enclosure, a portability handle extending from the tie down portion, a plug enclosure including a first enclosure portion and a second enclosure portion that is hinged to the first portion, and the second portion being rotatable into enclosing association with the first portion to form and define a plug cavity for disposal of a plug and a plug opening that allows the plug to associate with the electronic enclosure, and a pull handle extending from the first end portion.

A connector is provided with a cable retainer which includes thin plate extending in one direction, five projections projecting from the thin plate part, and a ground part projecting from the projections. The cable retainer clips cables by projections plastically deformed by caulking. Furthermore, when the cable retainer is attached to a housing, it is arranged so that the ends of the connect portions of the ground part face the terminals that serve as ground electrodes.

A cable holder 1 for a large number of connection cables 2, 4, 6, 8 of an electrical or electronic control device, in particular of an electronic ballast of a lamp. The cable holder 1 has a base body 24, in which receptacles 32, 34, 36, 50 are formed which surround, at least in sections, an insulating sheath of the connection cables 2, 4, 6, 8 and are associated with apertures 38, 40, 42, 52, which open out into an end face 44 of the base body 24, cable ends 12, 14, 16, 18, from which the insulation has been stripped, of the connection cables 2, 4, 6, 8 extending through the apertures 38, 40, 42, 52.

A connector is provided with a cable retainer which has a thin plate extending in one direction, five main parts projecting from the thin plate so as to align along the extending direction, and caulking portions projecting from the main parts so as to cross at right angles in the extending direction of the main parts. The cable retainer clips cables between the caulking portions plastically deformed by caulking and the main parts.

A rope, cable or other linear tension member is retained along its length by a device 10 having a body 12 with a plunger 18 that is movably located in an internal cavity 14 of the body. The body provides a first surface 16 to engage the tension member and the plunger provides a second surface 24 that is disposed in substantially parallel relationship to the first surface. A biasing means 26 is used to urge the plunger upwardly in the internal cavity, so that the first and second surfaces are urged towards registration. Opposing ends 28, 30 of the body may be shaped in a manner to provide a cleat upon which the tension member may be wound or tied off. Mounting means 32, 34 in the body permit the body to be fixed to a surface.

A cable retainer (10) for a cable (12) having a longitudinal axis (11) and a given diameter has a first elongated body half (14) arrayed along the longitudinal axis (11) and having a first surface (18) and a second, oppositely disposed surface (20), the second oppositely disposed surface (20) having a first cable receiving section (22) therein with a depth at least one half of the given diameter. A second elongated body half (30) is arrayed along the longitudinal axis (11) and has a first area (34) and a second, oppositely disposed area (36) with a second cable receiving section (38) therein. A guide system (37) is provided for orienting the first elongated body half and the second elongated body half A fastener (40) is formed on the second elongated body half (30) and a receptor (42) for the fastener (40) is formed on the first elongated body half (14). A plurality of cable-engaging projections (44) is formed in each of the first cable receiving section (22) and the second cable receiving section (38), the cable engaging projections (44) in the first cable-receiving section (22) being longitudinally displaced from the projections (44) in the second cable receiving section (38), whereby an inserted cable (12) is rendered axially and rotationally stable.

A mount for attaching a winch to a vehicle. The mount allows the winch to be rotated to face the cable anchor during use, thereby preventing improper spooling of the cable.
