Abstract
A two-piece anchorage device for securing a cable conduit to a wall opening. The device includes a tubular body piece adapted to extend through the wall opening and to be secured to the outer periphery of the cable conduit. The body piece includes a collar adapted to operatively engage a side of the wall opening and a lower body portion adapted to extend longitudinally along the cable conduit. An upper body portion is connected to a side of the collar opposite the lower body portion and has a groove therein. The anchorage device also includes an anchor clip piece having stops engaging the groove of the upper body portion and a plurality of depressible prongs adapted to engage a side of the wall opening.
Claims7
A two-piece anchorage device for securing a cable conduit with respect to a wall opening, said device including a tubular body piece adapted to extend through the wall opening and to be secured to the outer periphery of a cable conduit where said tubular body piece comprises a collar adapted to operatively engage a side of said wall opening, a lower body portion connected to one side of said collar and adapted to extend longitudinally along the cable conduit and an upper body portion connected to a side of said collar opposite said lower body portion including a radially extending shoulder, and an anchor clip piece surrounding and fixed to said upper body portion having a plurality of depressible prongs adapted to engage a side of a wall opening opposite said collar whereby relative movement of said cable conduit with respect to said wall opening is prevented and having a plurality of stops engaging said shoulder to prevent longitudinal movement of said clip piece with respect to said body piece in a direction away from said collar with said anchor clip piece comprising a flat strip rolled into a round configuration and wherein said strip has a plurality of H-shaped cutouts with the portions of the strip between the vertical legs of the H-shaped cutouts being bent in alternate directions to form said stops and depressible prongs.
A two-piece anchorage device for securing a cable conduit with respect to a wall opening, said device including a tubular body piece adapted to extend through the wall opening and to be secured to the outer periphery of a cable conduit where said tubular body piece comprises a collar adapted to operatively engage a side of said wall opening, a lower body portion connected to one side of said collar and adapted to extend longitudinally along the cable conduit and an upper body portion connected to a side of said collar opposite said lower body portion including a radially extending shoulder, and an anchor clip piece surrounding and fixed to said upper body portion having a plurality of depressible prongs adapted to engage a side of a wall opening opposite said collar whereby relative movement of said cable conduit with respect to said wall opening is prevented and having a plurality of stops engaging said shoulder to prevent longitudinal movement of said clip piece with respect to said body piece in a direction away from said collar with said anchor clip piece comprising a flat strip rolled into a round configuration and wherein said strip has a plurality of U-shaped cutouts with the portions of the strips between the vertical legs of the U-shaped cutouts being bent radially outwardly of the round configuration to form said depressible prongs and wherein portions of the strip forming part of the bases of the U-shaped cutouts are bent radially outwardly of the round configuration to form stops adapted to engage a side of the wall opposite said depressible prongs and wherein portions of the strip forming part of the bases of the U-shaped cutouts are bent radially inwardly of the round configuration to form said stops engaging said shoulder.
A two-piece anchorage device for securing a cable conduit with respect to a wall opening, said device including a tubular body piece adapted to extend through a wall opening and to be secured to the outer periphery of a cable conduit where said tubular body piece comprises a collar adapted to operatively engage a side of said wall opening, a lower body piece portion connected to one side of said collar and adapted to extend longitudinally along the cable conduit and an upper body portion connected to a side of said collar opposite said lower body portion having a groove adjacent said collar between the upper body portion and said collar with a wall of said groove forming a radially extending shoulder, and an anchor clip piece surrounding and fixed to said upper body portion including a plurality of depressible prongs adapted to engage a side of a wall opening opposite said collar whereby relative movement of said cable conduit with respect to said wall opening is prevented and including a plurality of stops engaging said shoulder to prevent longitudinal movement of said clip piece with respect to said body piece in a direction away from said collar.
In an anchorage device for receiving a control cable conduit assembly in an opening in a housing wall where said control cable conduit assembly includes a casing and an axially movable core member in said casing, the improvement comprising in that said anchorage device includes:
- (a) a tubular body piece adapted to extend through said opening and to be secured to the outer periphery of said casing where said body piece has
- (i) a collar adapted to operatively engage a side of said wall,
- (ii) a lower body portion connected to one side of said collar and adapted to extend longitudinally along said casing, and
- (iii) an upper body portion connected to the side of said collar opposite from said lower body portion including a groove adjacent the collar between the upper body portion and said collar with a side wall of the groove forming a radially extending shoulder, and
- (b) an anchor clip piece surrounding and fixed to said upper body portion having a plurality of depressible prongs adapted to engage a side of said opening opposite said collar and a plurality of stops engaging said shoulder.
