Abstract
The inventive sealing body (DK) is comprised of a number of segments (DS1, DS2, DS3) in whose sealing chambers (DKAA, DKAM) a sealing block (DBAS, DBMS) is arranged that is made of an easily deformable, in particular, gel-like substance. Tabs (ZE) which conically extend toward one another serve to center the cable which is inserted into the sealing body (DK) and held therein. Wedges (K) which can be actuated from the outside act upon assigned pressure elements (DE), which deform the corresponding sealing block (DBAS, DBMS) thus displacing the gel-like substance in a radial direction.
Claims17
A sealing body for longitudinally split cable fittings comprising a plurality of sealing body segments, in the separating planes of which cable insertion openings and integrated cable holding devices are arranged, at least one of the sealing body segments having one or more integrally formed latching elements that engage a respective guiding receptacle formed in another of the body segments, by means of which the respective sealing body segments are connected to one another in a latching manner, said sealing body further comprising deformable sealing blocks arranged in the regions of the cable insertion openings, each sealing block having an outer peripheral groove for receiving a pressure element, which pressure elements bear against the sealing blocks when pressed against the latter and deform said sealing blocks to press the sealing blocks against a placed-in cable and against the sealing body segments, with the sealing blocks sealing the cable insertion openings, said sealing body further comprising at least one spring disk with spring elements directed conically into the cable insertion openings and adapted for deforming the sealing blocks, and said sealing body comprising guides arranged in the region of each cable insertion opening for receiving sliding pieces adapted to be displaced perpendicularly with respect to the direction of cable insertion for holding an inserted cable.
A sealing body for longitudinally split cable fittings comprising a pair of outer body segments and a middle body segment positioned between the outer body segments, in the separating planes of which cable insertion openings and integrated cable holding devices are arranged, the outer sealing body segments having at least one integrally formed latching element that engages a respective guiding receptacle formed in the middle body segment for connecting the respective sealing body segments to one another in a latching manner, said sealing body further comprising deformable sealing blocks arranged in the regions of the cable insertion openings and having an outer peripheral groove for receiving pressure elements that bear against the sealing blocks to press and deform said sealing blocks against a cable inserted in the cable insertion openings and against the sealing body segments such that the sealing blocks seal the respective cable insertion openings, said sealing body further comprising at least one spring disk with spring elements directed conically into the cable insertion openings for deforming the sealing blocks and guides arranged in the region of each cable insertion opening for receiving sliding pieces adapted to be displaced perpendicularly with respect to the direction of cable insertion to hold an inserted cable.
