Abstract
A device for deterring displacement of a cable is effectuated in an embodiment of the invention by an enclosure adapted to envelope the cable and an affixing mechanism adapted to couple the enclosure to the cable, where the cable is oriented in an assembly such that the enclosure contacts a feature internal to the assembly and deters displacement of the cable.
Claims20
A device for deterring displacement of a cable comprising:
- an enclosure adapted to envelope;
- and
- an affixing mechanism adapted to couple said enclosure to said cable, wherein said cable is oriented in an assembly such that said enclosure contacts a feature internal to said assembly and deters displacement of said cable.
A method of deterring displacement of a cable comprising:
- enveloping said cable with an enclosure;
- and
- orienting said cable within an assembly such that said enclosure frictionally contacts a portion of a feature of said assembly proximate to said cable such that said cable is detained by said enclosure frictionally contacting said feature.
A system for deterring displacement of a cable comprising:
- means for enclosing an outer jacket comprising said cable;
- and
- means for contacting said enclosing means, wherein under conditions of movement said contacting applies a force inhibitive of displacement of said cable.
