Abstract
Abstract A sealing device characterized by two sealing members which are clamped together to support at least one cable within a cable fitting. Each of the sealing member has at least two axially spaced lamella-form sealing elements, which extend inward from a separation plane and have a ring-shape hollow space therebetween. The sealing elements are cut in an appropriate position for receiving the cable adjacent to the separation plane. The improvement includes a disk shape member in the ring-shape space to subdivide each of the spaces and to prevent the flow of a sealing material, which is disposed between the sealing elements and the cable, into the ring-shape spaces.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
In a sealing device comprising a pair of sealing members each having at least two axially spaced lamella-form sealing elements extending to a separation plane and having a ring-shaped hollow space between adjacent sealing elements, said sealing elements being adapted to be cut adjacent the separation plane to form an aperture for receiving a cable to support the cable in a cable fitting, and means for holding said sealing members with the separating planes in engagement with each other and the sealing elements forming a tight seal with the cable, the improvement comprising semicircular disks of a cuttable material being received in each of said ring-shaped hollow spaces between each pair of adjacent sealing elements of each member, each of said disks having a thickness less than the axial width of the ring-shape hollow space, each of said disks having means disposed on each side for guiding the disk as it is inserted into said ring-shape space, and each disks having transverse ribs extending between said means for guiding.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
169 words
In a sealing device comprising a pair of sealing members each having at least two axially spaced lamella-form sealing elements extending to a separation plane and having a ring-shaped hollow space between adjacent sealing elements, said sealing elements being adapted to be cut adjacent the separation plane to form an aperture for receiving a cable to support the cable in a cable fitting, and means for holding said sealing members with the separating planes in engagement with each other and the sealing elements forming a tight seal with the cable, the improvement comprising semicircular disks of a cuttable material being received in each of said ring-shaped hollow spaces between each pair of adjacent sealing elements of each member, each of said disks having a thickness less than the axial width of the ring-shape hollow space, each of said disks having means disposed on each side for guiding the disk as it is inserted into said ring-shape space, and each disks having transverse ribs extending between said means for guiding.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
In a sealing device according to claim 1, wherein each of said sealing elements has reinforcing ribs extending perpendicular to the axis and inward from the separation plane of the member, and said means for guiding being formed by means for for forming a groove for each of said reinforcing ribs of the sealing elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
In a sealing device according to claim 2, wherein each of the means for forming a groove comprises a pair of guide ribs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
In a sealing device according to claim 3, wherein said pair of guide ribs converge toward each other so that the closest spacing therebetween is adjacent to the separation plane of the member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
In a sealing device according to claim 2, wherein said means for forming a groove forms a groove having side walls which converge towards each other adjacent the separation plane.
