Abstract
A cable fitting filled with a dielectric medium is sealed to the cable surface with a sealing member of an elastic material which can follow radial and axial movement of the cable.
Claims2
In a cable fitting for connecting an insulated electric cable having a cylindrical surface, a cable being inserted into the fitting, the fitting having a fastening part bounding a space which is filled with a dielectric fluid medium, and a sealing member formed of elastic material for making a dielectric-fluid-tight seal between said part and said cylindrical surface,
- the improvement wherein the sealing member is a unitary element consisting of a cylindrical portion which is elastically fitted over said cylindrical surface, and a radially extending flange, said flange having an outer annular clamping portion having two sides and an intermediate portion between the clamping portion and the cylindrical portion,
- said fastening part is arranged so as to abut one side of said clamping portion only of the sealing member, and
- said fitting includes a clamping part arranged to abut said clamping portion only at the other side, and means for axially fastening said clamping part to said fastening part so as to exert clamping pressure therebetween on said annular clamping portion.
