Abstract
A plug for walls, e.g. a wall plug, has a body 4 which has a split or slot 2 running from an opening 3 at one end to a gripping hole 1 at the other end. The cable is gripped as the two parts of the main body 4 are brought tight together as they are pushed into a previously prepared hole (Figure 3) not shown is retained by barbs, ridges or tines 5. <IMAGE>
Description
CABLE FIXING DEVICE
This invention relates to a cable fixing device
Cable fixing devices are well known and there have been a number of different types during their development. There is a type of cable fixing device known generically as a cable clip, consisting of two parts, a plastic clip which normally has a 'C' profile and when combined with a nail (normally a masonry nail) that fits into a hole at one end of the clip, thereby retains the clip which in turn holds the cable.
Cable clips are, however, often difficult to use in that the nails have to be hit with light straight blows to tap them in and sometimes due to inaccurate strikes they can loose their fixing. Moreover masonry nails are specifically hardened and if hit carelessly the head of the nail can snap off and cause injury, also the clips can harden and become brittle.
According to the present invention there is provided a one piece cable fixing device in the form of a plug for solid material such as brick, rendering, plaster or wood, having a split or slot along its length with its opening at one end and closed at the other where the plug body and the split or slot both increase in width, thus forming an aperture (the gripping hole) at or adjacent to the end thereof. The plug body has barbs, ridges or tines along it which act to retain the device by positive pressure on the sides of a prepared hole, thus anchoring the cable.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 shows in perspective, an overall view of the cable fixing device;
Figure 2 shows in perspective, the cable fixing device accepting a cable;
Figure 3 shows in perspective, the cable fixing device positioned in an appropriately sized hole and anchoring a cable.
Referring to the drawing, it is intended that this design of cable fixing device once passed around the circumference of a cable Figure 2 provides positive clamping or gripping, and when inserted into a previously prepared hole in solid material of the correct dimension
Figure 3, holds the cable fast as circumferential barbs, ridges or tines 5 act to retain the body of the device by positive pressure on the sides of the prepared hole, thus anchoring the cable.
The method described above would be employed with solid material, it is intended, however, that when fixing to sheet material or panels the retaining barbs, ridges or tines would be inserted through a hole drilled or pierced in the material leaving a barb, ridge or tine on the opposite side of the material open wider than the hole in the material thus retaining the device. Therefore only the upper portion of the cable fixing device would be required, the remainder would be cut off.
It is intended that the shape of the gripping hole can be altered to accommodate different cross-sections of cables or wires such as flat cables or bundles of cables or wiring looms. Also the shape of the device and the gripping hole can be devised to accommodates pipes, ropes, rails or chains.
Claims (8)
1 A one piece cable fixing device in the form of a plug for solid material such as brick, rendering, plaster or wood, having a split or slot along its length with its opening at one end and closed at the other where the plug body and the split or slot both increase in width, thus forming an aperture (the gripping hole) at or adjacent to the end thereof. The plug body has barbs, ridges or tines along it which act to retain the device by positive pressure on the sides of a prepared hole, thus anchoring the cable.
2 A cable fixing device as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the gripping hole is shaped to accommodate flat power cable.
3 A cable fixing device as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the gripping hole is shaped to accommodate various sizes and profiles of cables or wires, or multiples thereof.
4 A cable fixing device as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the gripping hole is shaped to accommodate a pipe or pipes.
5 A cable fixing device as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the gripping hole is shaped to accommodate a rope or ropes.
6 A cable fixing device as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the gripping hole is shaped to accommodate a rail or rails.
7 A cable fixing device as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the gripping hole is shaped to accommodate a chain or chains.
8 A cable fixing device substantially as described herein with reference to Figures 1-3 of the accompanying drawing.
