Description
21~ZS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pulling eye assembly for engaging the terminal end of a commu-nication fiber optic carrying cable and for pulling the cable through trunking systems or the like.
B CKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
When communication cables formed of fiber optics are pulled through trunking systems for install-ation, the pulling tension exerted on the cable by the pulling device varies in response to the resistance offered to the cable during the pulling procedure. It has been noted that an excess pulling force will cause elongation of the cable thus resulting in exceeding the admissible tension which can be taken by the fiber optics present in the cable. Another factor in causing possible damage to a cable ana/or to its components is a torsion effect exerted on the cable during pulling.
It is an object of the present invention to provide at the terminal end of a communication fiber optic carrying cable a pulling eye assembly that includes a rupturable element that allows disconnection of the cahle to the pulling device whenever the pulling tension exceeds that which is permitted for the fiber optics.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide in a pulling eye assembly a swivel arrangement ` ~hich eliminates torsion in the cable during the pulling ,,, ~
:~21525 operation.
The present invention therefore relates to a pulling eye assembly which comprises, in its broadest aspect, an elongated body which is opened at one end to fixedly accommodate the cable; rupturable tension re-sponsive means mounted at the opposite end of the body;
and attachment means connected to the rupturable ten-sion responsive means remote from the elongated body;
the tension responsive means are ruptured thus freeing the cable from the pulling device whenever the tension exerted by the pulling device exceeds a predetermined value, which values is less than that required to dam-age the optical fibers in the cable.
In one embodiment of the invention, the ten-sion responsive means consist of an elongated memberwhich has a rupturable portion of restricted cross-sec-tion, the latter being determined in relation to said predetermined tension value.
In another embodiment of the invention, the attachment means include therein swivel means which allow free rotation of movement between the attachment means and the elongated body.
Other objects and further scope of applica-bility of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. It should be understood however that this detailed de-scription, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, is given by way of illustration only since various changes and modi-~ 3 ~ 1221~25 fications within the spirit and scope of the inventionwill become apparent to those skilled in the art.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to figure 1, there is shown a first embodiment of a pulling eye assembly, generally denoted ~221~S
1~, attached -co che cerininal end of a communication fioer optic carrying cable 12. Such caDle comprises a centrally located wife 14 about which coaxially extends a plurality of optical fibers ~not shown). Tne assembly 10 comprises a connector lo consiscing of an elongaced body having one end 16a formed of a tubular po~tion inco which is tightly secured the cerminal end of the ca~le. The manner of a-ctaching the terminal end of the cable ~o the connec.or 16 does not form part of the present invention; however, one such method consists of having a sefies of screws 18 which are pressed hard against the steel member 14 and a lock nut 19. Another method consists in c{imping a fiber optic cable to a pulling eye such as described in Vnited Scates Patent No. 4 337 923 issued July 6, 1982 ~o Jackson A. Smith.
The opposite end 16b of the connector 1~ also includes a hollow portion into which is threadedly en-gaged an attachment member generally denoted 22. The latter comprises an eye elenent 24 adapted for connection to a pulling device such as a winch (not shown), a cy-lindrical spacer 26 which has a portion 28 threadedly engaged in the end cavi~y of portion 16b and a rupture member 30 which has one end 32 threadedly engaged in the body of ~he eye member 24. The opposite end of the ruptu-re member has a flanged portion 34. Tne rupture memberhas a section 36 of reduced cross-section, the fonction of which will be descrlbed hereinbeiow.
Between the flanged portion 34 and the inner-most wall of section 28 of the spacer 26 are provided a plurality of annular friction disks 4~ (see figure 4) allowing free rotational movement of flange 34 relative to the spacer 26. To reduce wear due to this free rota-tion of the rupture member relative to the spacer, a sleeve 42 of wear resistant material extends from the discs 40 to the inner wall of the eye element 24.
A washer 44 is provided between the said inner wall of the eye member 24 and top wall of the spacer 26.
The main feature of the present invention is whenever the tension exerted by the pulling device on the eye member 24 exceeds a predetermined value, member 30 will rupture (see figure 3) at the reduced cross-section area 36 thereby freeing the eye element 24 fromthe body 15 to which remains attached the spacer 26.
This predetermined value is calculated to be slightly less than that which is required to damage the optical fibers in the cable which would be otherwise ruptured should the cable resists being pulled during the pulling operation.
~ urthermore, as an additional feature of the present in~ention, the annular discs 40 enable a rotation of the eye member 24 with respect to the body 16 thus aYoiding torsion in the cable 12 which again would cause damage to the optical fibers should the cable be over-twisted.
In figures 2 and 3, there is shown another embodiment of the present invention wherein the cons-truction of the pulling eye assembly is identical to that shown in figure 1 with the e~ception that one end 16a of the connector 16 is modified to engage, instead of the cable 12 of figure 1, a pulling eye connector 17 such as is conventionnally used and is shown and describ-ed in the above-noted U.S. patent. Hence, end 16a is modified to be connected to the eye member 17a of the assembly 17.
~ eferring to figures 5-8, another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The assembly consists of a body 116 which is connected to a cable 112 in a similar fashion as that described above in connection with figure 1. Body 116, in comparison to body 16 of figure 1, is slightly modified at end 116b to receive the attachment member generally denoted 122. The end 116b of the ~ody has a hollow cavity in which is received the tubular section 124 of the eye member 126. This tubular section receives therein a rupture element 130 having a central reduced cross-section 136.
The manner of securing the rupture element 130 to the eye me~ber 126 and the body 116 will now be des-cribed in relation to figures 6-8. The innermost cylin-drical portion 132 of the tubular section 124 of the eye member has a slot 134 which opens to the rear wall 142.
The rupture member has a transverse threaded opening 12~525 which comes into registry with the slot 134. A pin 146 threadedly engages the threaded opening together with the adjacent wall of the tubular portion of the eye member, that portion of the wall being also threaded.
The rupture member 130 includes a second trans-verse threaded opening which, when set in registry with a pair of axially aligned openings in the extension 124 of the eye element 126,threadedly engages a pin 150 to secure the rupture element to the extension 124.
In this embodiment, an excessive tension exert-ed by a pulling device on tne eye member 126 will cause rupture of element 130 in the restricted area 136. Hence, body 116 will separate from the eye member 126, leaving pin 146 inside the cavity 116b while pin 150 remair,s with the separated eye element 126.
It can be seen that free rotational movement of the pulling eye assembly relative to cable 112 is not possible with the embodiment illustrated in figure 5.
However, it will be evident that the body 16 of figures

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to figure 1, there is shown a first embodiment of a pulling eye assembly, generally denoted ~221~S
1~, attached -co che cerininal end of a communication fioer optic carrying cable 12. Such caDle comprises a centrally located wife 14 about which coaxially extends a plurality of optical fibers ~not shown). Tne assembly 10 comprises a connector lo consiscing of an elongaced body having one end 16a formed of a tubular po~tion inco which is tightly secured the cerminal end of the ca~le. The manner of a-ctaching the terminal end of the cable ~o the connec.or 16 does not form part of the present invention; however, one such method consists of having a sefies of screws 18 which are pressed hard against the steel member 14 and a lock nut 19. Another method consists in c{imping a fiber optic cable to a pulling eye such as described in Vnited Scates Patent No. 4 337 923 issued July 6, 1982 ~o Jackson A. Smith.
The opposite end 16b of the connector 1~ also includes a hollow portion into which is threadedly en-gaged an attachment member generally denoted 22. The latter comprises an eye elenent 24 adapted for connection to a pulling device such as a winch (not shown), a cy-lindrical spacer 26 which has a portion 28 threadedly engaged in the end cavi~y of portion 16b and a rupture member 30 which has one end 32 threadedly engaged in the body of ~he eye member 24. The opposite end of the ruptu-re member has a flanged portion 34. Tne rupture memberhas a section 36 of reduced cross-section, the fonction of which will be descrlbed hereinbeiow.
Between the flanged portion 34 and the inner-most wall of section 28 of the spacer 26 are provided a plurality of annular friction disks 4~ (see figure 4) allowing free rotational movement of flange 34 relative to the spacer 26. To reduce wear due to this free rota-tion of the rupture member relative to the spacer, a sleeve 42 of wear resistant material extends from the discs 40 to the inner wall of the eye element 24.
A washer 44 is provided between the said inner wall of the eye member 24 and top wall of the spacer 26.
The main feature of the present invention is whenever the tension exerted by the pulling device on the eye member 24 exceeds a predetermined value, member 30 will rupture (see figure 3) at the reduced cross-section area 36 thereby freeing the eye element 24 fromthe body 15 to which remains attached the spacer 26.
This predetermined value is calculated to be slightly less than that which is required to damage the optical fibers in the cable which would be otherwise ruptured should the cable resists being pulled during the pulling operation.
~ urthermore, as an additional feature of the present in~ention, the annular discs 40 enable a rotation of the eye member 24 with respect to the body 16 thus aYoiding torsion in the cable 12 which again would cause damage to the optical fibers should the cable be over-twisted.
In figures 2 and 3, there is shown another embodiment of the present invention wherein the cons-truction of the pulling eye assembly is identical to that shown in figure 1 with the e~ception that one end 16a of the connector 16 is modified to engage, instead of the cable 12 of figure 1, a pulling eye connector 17 such as is conventionnally used and is shown and describ-ed in the above-noted U.S. patent. Hence, end 16a is modified to be connected to the eye member 17a of the assembly 17.
~ eferring to figures 5-8, another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The assembly consists of a body 116 which is connected to a cable 112 in a similar fashion as that described above in connection with figure 1. Body 116, in comparison to body 16 of figure 1, is slightly modified at end 116b to receive the attachment member generally denoted 122. The end 116b of the ~ody has a hollow cavity in which is received the tubular section 124 of the eye member 126. This tubular section receives therein a rupture element 130 having a central reduced cross-section 136.
The manner of securing the rupture element 130 to the eye me~ber 126 and the body 116 will now be des-cribed in relation to figures 6-8. The innermost cylin-drical portion 132 of the tubular section 124 of the eye member has a slot 134 which opens to the rear wall 142.
The rupture member has a transverse threaded opening 12~525 which comes into registry with the slot 134. A pin 146 threadedly engages the threaded opening together with the adjacent wall of the tubular portion of the eye member, that portion of the wall being also threaded.
The rupture member 130 includes a second trans-verse threaded opening which, when set in registry with a pair of axially aligned openings in the extension 124 of the eye element 126,threadedly engages a pin 150 to secure the rupture element to the extension 124.
In this embodiment, an excessive tension exert-ed by a pulling device on tne eye member 126 will cause rupture of element 130 in the restricted area 136. Hence, body 116 will separate from the eye member 126, leaving pin 146 inside the cavity 116b while pin 150 remair,s with the separated eye element 126.
It can be seen that free rotational movement of the pulling eye assembly relative to cable 112 is not possible with the embodiment illustrated in figure 5.
However, it will be evident that the body 16 of figures
2 and 3 could also be used to be attached to the eye mem-ber 126 of figure 5. Hence, various modifications and refinements may be brought to the present invention. It is therefore wished to have it understood that the present invention should not be limited in interpretation except ~5 ~y the terms of the following claims.
