Abstract
The invention relates to a joining element (VE), consisting of a fixing component (FT) and a closing component (VT), for the ends (DE1, DE2) of a divided seal (D) in sealing systems in cable fittings.
Claims11
A seal for a cable fitting, comprising an elongated, crosswise divided sealing member (D) comprising sealing member ends (DE1, DE2) assigned to its separating area and being provided on two longitudinal sides facing off each other with longitudinal recesses (V) which extend in a longitudinal direction of the sealing member (D) and which open outwardly, and a joining element (VE) bridging the separating area, the joining element (VE) having a fixing component (FT) comprising two tube elements (RE) being positioned on a first joining bar (VS2) in a way to be spaced from each other by a distance (A) and of a closing component (VT) positioned on a second joining bar (VS1) comprising pins (Z) being spaced having the same distance (A), wherein the fixing component (FT) is fixed to the sealing member (D) by means of the closing component (VT), and wherein the distance (A) between pins (Z) and between the tube elements (RE), corresponds to the distance (AD) between two receiving holes (AL) in the sealing member ends (DE1, DE2) of the sealing member (D), assembled at the separating area, wherein the diameter of the tube elements (RE) is equal to the diameter of the receiving holes, and the sealing member ends (DE1, DE2) are mutually aligned by means of the tube elements (RE) of the fixing component (FT) being inserted into the receiving holes (AL) of the sealing member ends (DE1, DE2) and are fixed in a position so as to be assembled to abut free from backlash, and corresponding locking elements (R, HS) are provided on the pins (Z) and on the tube elements (RE) for mutual engagement, and the delimitation wall of the respective longitudinal recess (V) has an arc-shaped cross-section, and both the first joining bar (VS1) and the second joining bar (VS2) have an arc-shaped cross section facing toward the respective longitudinal recess (V) and corresponding to the arc-shape of the same and are inserted into the corresponding longitudinal recess (V) so as to have a positive fit with respect to their arc-shape.
