Claims15
A cable anchoring system for securing a cable to another structure, the cable anchoring system comprising:
- a cable anchoring body that is elongate along a length that extends between first and second opposite ends of the cable anchoring body, the cable anchoring body including a cable strapping location adjacent the first end, the cable anchoring body defining a slot adjacent the second end that extends through the cable anchoring body in a direction transverse with respect to the length of the cable anchoring body;
- an anchoring attachment having first and second legs that are transversely oriented relative to one another and unitarily connected at a bend, the first and second legs each having a free end, the free end of the first leg including a tab and the free end of the second leg including a slide stop, the second leg being configured to be slidably received within the slot of the cable anchoring body, the second leg and the slot of the cable anchoring body being relatively sized and shaped such that a deformable portion of the second leg deforms when the second leg is inserted in the slot to enhance friction between the cable anchoring body and the second leg within the slot that resists sliding movement of the second leg relative to the cable anchoring body, the slide stop of the second leg being configured to engage a corresponding stop structure of the cable anchoring body to limit sliding movement of the anchoring attachment relative to the cable anchoring body in a direction away from the cable anchoring body;
- an anchoring sleeve adapted to be mounted on the second leg of the anchoring attachment, the anchoring sleeve defining a threaded opening;
- and
- a threaded fastener that threads within the threaded opening of the anchoring sleeve for clamping a strength member of the cable with respect to the first leg of the anchoring attachment.
