Abstract
A fastening means is for attaching a cable to a tubular body. The tubular body has a sleeve with a first end face and a second end face. The fastening means has a first attachment part arranged with a first abutment surface for resting against the first end face; a second attachment part arranged with a second abutment surface for resting against the second end face; both the first attachment part and the second attachment part including a through cable recess; and a tightening device for pulling the first attachment part and the second attachment part towards each other. The fastening means is characterized by the first attachment part and the second attachment part being adjustably connected in a spaced-apart manner via the tightening device.

A fastening means for attaching a cable to a tubular body, the tubular body comprising a sleeve having an external circumferential surface and extending from a first end face to a second end face in an axial direction, the fastening means comprising:
- a first attachment part arranged with a first abutment surface for resting against the first end face;
- a second attachment part arranged with a second abutment surface for resting against the second end face;
- both the first attachment part and the second attachment part including a through cable recess;
- and
- a tightening device for pulling the first attachment part and the second attachment part towards each other in the axial direction;
- wherein the first attachment part and the second attachment part are adjustably connected in a spaced-apart manner via the tightening device;
- and
- wherein the first attachment part and the second attachment part radially extend around only a portion of the external circumferential surface such that the first attachment part and the second attachment part are coupled to the sleeve after the cable is positioned proximate the tubular body.
A method for attaching a cable to a tubular body, wherein the tubular body comprises a sleeve having an external circumferential surface and extending from a first end face to a second end face in an axial direction, wherein the method comprises:
- arranging the cable proximate the sleeve on the tubular body;
- providing a fastening means comprising a first attachment part arranged with a first abutment surface and a second attachment part with a second abutment surface;
- and
- arranging the first attachment part and the second attachment part radially around a portion of the external circumferential surface of the sleeve such that the cable is arranged between the fastening means and the sleeve, the first abutment surface rests against the first end face, and the second abutment surface rests against the second end face.
A fastening assembly, comprising:
- at least one pipe length;
- a sleeve positioned around the at least one pipe length, the sleeve having an external circumferential surface and extending from a first end face to a second end face in an axial direction:
- at least one cable positioned proximate the external circumferential surface;
- and
- a fastening device configured to couple to the sleeve and thereby couple the at least one cable to the sleeve, wherein the fastening device comprises:
- a first attachment part having a first hook;
- a second attachment part having a second hook;
- and
- a tightening device for pulling the first attachment part and the second attachment part towards each other in the axial direction such that the first hook and the second hook are positioned between the at least one pipe length and the sleeve.
