Abstract
A device for sealing cables entering a cable coupling sleeve, comprises a sealing plate consisting of at least two elements which fit together to form openings for insertion of cables. The sealing plate is formed by a substantially centrally arranged inner disc element (5) having opening regions at its outer edge, and by ring elements (6) which externally surround all the opening regions when the device is in its closed position. Optionally sealing material may be positioned around the cables.
Claims19
A device for sealing a cable joint, comprising:
- (a) a cable coupling housing;
- (b) a sealing plate that can fit at one end of the housing comprising:
- (i) a first inner element comprising on its periphery a plurality of openings into which cables can be laid;
- (ii) first sealing means prepositioned in, or positioned, in use, in the openings in the inner element to enhance the seal between the openings in the element and the cables led therethrough;
- (iii) outer circuit elements that are shaped to cooperate with the inner element and which can be moved towards the inner element to form divided cable openings containing within them the cable and the sealing means and which can be moved away from the inner element to allow insertion or removal of the cables;
- (iv) the outer circuit elements being tightenable towards each other by a tightening device(8), to seal the cables between the inner element and the outer circuit elements;
- and
- (v) a second sealing means (12) at the periphery of the outer circuit elements;
- wherein, in use, a second seal, separate from the said first sealing means, is formed between the sealing plate and the cable coupling housing, the second sealing means forming or enhancing the said second seal between the sealing plate and the cable coupling housing.

A device for sealing a cable joint, comprising:
- (a) a cable coupling housing;
- (b) a sealing plate that can fit at one end of the housing comprising:
- i) a first inner element comprising on its periphery a plurality of detachable elements, which can be detached, in use, to provide a plurality of openings into which cables can be laid, the detachable elements being integrally and detachably Joined to the remainder of the inner element, before insertion of the cable, by means of predetermined breaking points;
- ii) first sealing means prepositioned in, or positioned, in use, in the openings in the inner element to enhance the seal between the openings in the element and the cables led therethrough;
- iii) outer circuit elements that are shaped to cooperate with the inner element and which can be moved towards the inner element to form divided cable openings containing within them the cable and the sealing means and which can be moved away from the inner element to allow insertion or removal of the cables;
- and
- iv) the outer circuit elements being tightenable towards each other by a tightening device(8), to seal the cables between the inner element and the outer circuit elements;
- wherein, in use, a second seal, separate from the said first sealing means, is formed between the sealing plate and the cable coupling housing.
