Abstract
A cable strain relief holder (1) for a spirally extending cable (2) is disclosed. In order to be able to fix a cable in a simple manner for the purpose of strain relief, the holder comprises a pillar element (3) which extends in an axial direction (a) and has an outer circumferential surface (4), and at least two retaining elements (5, 6), which are disposed extending radially (r) on the outer circumferential surface (4), wherein the at least two retaining elements (5, 6) are disposed at different axial positions and at different circumferential positions of the pillar element (3).
Claims20
A cable strain relief holder for a spirally extending cable, comprising:
- a pillar element extending in an axial direction and having an outer circumferential surface, and
- at least two retaining elements disposed extending radially from the outer circumferential surface, wherein the at least two retaining elements are disposed at different axial positions and at different circumferential positions of the pillar element.
An apparatus comprising:
- a pillar element having a central axis and a circular outer circumferential surface,
- a first retaining element and a second retaining element, each extending from the circumferential outer surface of the pillar element in a direction perpendicular to the central axis, wherein the first retaining element is offset from the second retaining element along the central axis such that the first and second retaining elements follow an imaginary spiral line and wherein the first retaining element and second retaining element extend in a common plane that includes the central axis, and
- a stretchable cable spirally wound around the pillar element with an elastic pretension and abutting circular arc-shaped grooves defined in an underside of each of the first and second retaining elements.
