Abstract

A cable holder may include a body portion, a cable receiving portion structurally configured to extend through the body portion along a longitudinal axis of the body portion, and a sealing portion structurally configured to be coupled with the body portion. The sealing portion may include an engagement portion structurally configured to extend radially inward from the body portion into the cable receiving portion so as to narrow a cross-sectional passage through the cable receiving portion. A first portion of the engagement portion may be structurally configured to sealingly engage a cable having a first outside diameter that is greater than or equal to a first diameter and less than a second diameter, and the first portion and the second portion may be structurally configured to sealingly engage a cable having a second outside diameter that is greater than or equal to the second diameter such that the cable holder is structurally configured to sealingly hold cables having different sized diameters.

Dependent claims

A cable holder configured to sealingly hold different sized cables, comprising

a body portion;
a cable receiving portion structurally configured to extend through the body portion along a longitudinal axis of the body portion;
a sealing portion structurally configured to be coupled with the body portion;
a retaining portion structurally configured to be coupled with the body portion;
wherein the retaining portion is structurally configured to engage a cable that extends through the cable receiving portion so as to prevent relative movement between the cable and the body portion along the longitudinal axis;
wherein the body portion includes a first body portion hingedly coupled with a second body portion;
wherein the body portion comprises a single piece of unitary construction such that the first body portion and the second body portion are hingedly coupled via a living hinge;
wherein the sealing portion includes a first sealing portion configured to be received by the first body portion and a second sealing portion configured to be received by the second body portion;
wherein the sealing portion includes an engagement portion structurally configured to extend radially inward from the body portion into the cable receiving portion so as to narrow a cross-sectional passage through the cable receiving portion;
wherein the engagement portion includes a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis;
wherein the first engagement portion extends further into the cable receiving portion than the second engagement portion such that the first engagement portion defines a first opening through the cable receiving portion that is smaller than a second opening defined by the second engagement portion;
wherein the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are configured to be biased radially outward toward the body portion;
and
wherein the first engagement portion is structurally configured to sealingly engage a cable having a first outside diameter that is greater than or equal to a diameter of the first opening and less than a diameter of the second opening, and the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are structurally configured to sealingly engage a cable having a second outside diameter that is greater than or equal to the diameter of the second opening such that the cable holder is structurally configured to sealingly hold cables having different sized diameters.
