Abstract
A pull cable system, includes a cable for transmitting a tensile force, a flexible tube for accommodating the cable, and a casing surrounding the tube for absorbing a pressure force. The casing is composed of a plurality of form-parts so joined to one another as to form a continuous axial passageway which is defined by an inside dimension. The form-parts are so configured that abutting end faces between successive form-parts have a complementary configuration to thereby enable a disposition of the casing along an arcuate path, with the tube being defined by an outside dimension corresponding to the inside dimension of the passageway.
Claims13
A flexible tensile force transmitting cable system, comprising:
- an axially movable cable for transmitting a tensile force;
- a flexible tube for receiving said cable for axial movement of said cable therein;
- and
- a casing surrounding said tube for absorbing a pressure force, said cable being axially movable relative to said tube and said casing, said casing including a plurality of form-parts joined to one another to form a continuous axial passageway defined by an inside dimension of varying diameters, said form-parts having abutting end faces between adjacent form-parts with complementary configurations enabling dispositions of said casing along arcuate paths, said form-parts being stringed on and traversed by said tube, said tube having an outside diameter that is equivalent to a smallest inside diameter of said form-parts.
A flexible tensile force transmitting cable system, comprising:
- a cable for transmitting a tensile force;
- a flexible tube for accommodating the cable;
- and
- a casing surrounding said tube for absorbing a pressure force, said cable being axially movable relative to said tube and said casing, said casing including a plurality of form-parts joined to one another to form a continuous axial passageway defined by an inside dimension of varying diameters, said form-parts having abutting end faces between successive form-parts with complementary configurations enabling dispositions of said casing along an arcuate path, said tube having an outside dimension corresponding to an inside dimension of the passageway, each of said form parts having an interior recess forming a section of said axial passageway with an interior dimension with a diameter exceeding that of the tube for creating a space for compensatory movement of said tube within said axial passageway when the cable therein transmits a tensile force.
A pull cable system, comprising:
- a cable for transmitting a tensile force;
- and
- a casing surrounding said cable for absorbing a pressure force, said cable being axially movable relative to said casing, said casing being composed of a plurality of form-parts joined to one another in end-to-end disposition to form a continuous axial passageway, each of said form-parts having a circumferential cylindrical collar centrally located thereon, said form-parts having abutting end faces between successive form-parts with complementary configurations enabling dispositions of said casing along an arcuate path, said axial passageway defined by varied inside dimensions.
