Claims20
A cable securing device, comprising:
- a barrel comprising an interior surface defining an interior cavity;
- a retaining cap secured to the barrel and comprising a body segment extending into the interior cavity of the barrel, wherein the body segment comprises a radially extending edge;
- a compression member maintained within the barrel interior cavity between an expanded position and a compressed position, wherein the compression member comprises first and second ends;
- a fastening device axially movable within the barrel interior cavity, wherein the fastening device comprises a leading edge at a first axial end, a trailing edge at a second axial end and a radially interior surface comprising a gripping segment;
- and
- a staging clip housed within the barrel interior cavity and in mating contact with the leading edge of the fastening device when the compression member is in the expanded position;
- wherein the compression member is compressible into the compressed position by the radially extending edge of the retaining cap body segment at the compression member first end and by the trailing edge of the fastening device at the compression member second end.
