Abstract
A clamping device for a cable closure system. The clamping device (1) includes a supporting base (2), a pulley (3), operatively associable with a closure cable, and a handle (4), connected integrally to the pulley (3) and manually activatable. The clamping device (1) includes first and second retaining means (5,6) operatively engageable with a toothed surface (331) of the pulley (3) and control means (7), separate from said handle (4). The retaining means (5,6) and the control means (7) are operatively associated with one another so as to be able to obtain a complete release or a controlled release of the clamping tension of the closure cable.
Claims20
A clamping device comprising:
- a supporting base;
- a pulley, operatively associable with a closure cable and comprising a winding surface for said closure cable, said pulley configured to rotate with respect to said supporting base about a first rotation axis, substantially perpendicular to said supporting base, according to a first winding direction or a second unwinding direction of said closure cable;
- a handle coupled to said pulley and configured to be manually actuated to rotate said pulley;
- first and second retainers, operatively engageable with a toothed surface of said pulley;
- a control body, separate from said handle and operatively associated with said retainers, said control body comprising a control lever, which can rotate at least partially with respect to said supporting base about a rotation axis different from said first rotation axis and parallel to said first rotation axis;
- said first retainer preventing said pulley from rotating according to said second direction when said control body is in a retaining position, said first and second retainers allowing said pulley to rotate freely according to said second direction, when said control body is actuated between said retaining position and a position of complete release, said first and second retainers allowing said pulley to rotate in a stepped manner according to said second direction, when said control body is actuated between said retaining position and a position of controlled release.
