Abstract
Abstract For pulling a heavy cable into a cable duct, cable holders of which the configuration is adapted to the cross-section of the cable duct are secured to the cables at regular spacings. The cable is pulled into the cable duct by means of a draw wire which is secured to the cable holders and/or to the cable. The draw wire is then anchored at both ends under a tensile stress. In this way, the cable itself is no longer subjected to a tensile stress when it is being pulled into place, and the cable is held at a spacing from the inside wall of the cable duct by means of the cable holders.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
Apparatus for laying and securing heavy electric cable in a cable duct, comprising at least one cable holder fastened with positive force engagement to the cable, said cable holder being connected with at least one draw and tensioning wire for pulling into and securing the cable in the cable duct, the cross section of the cable holder corresponding approximately to the cross section of the cable duct, said cable holder comprising fastening means for fastening the cable, a casing that surrounds the said cable and fastening means, and at least two radially disposed cross pieces that extend between and are connected with said fastening means and said casing, and wherein said at least one draw and tensioning wire is fixed to one of said cross pieces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
Apparatus for laying and securing heavy electric cable in a cable duct, comprising at least one cable holder fastened with positive force engagement to the cable, said cable holder being connected with at least one draw and tensioning wire for pulling into and securing the cable in the cable duct, the cross section of the cable holder corresponding approximately to the cross section of the cable duct, said cable holder comprising fastening means for fastening the cable, a casing that surrounds the said cable and fastening means, and at least two radially disposed cross pieces that extend between and are connected with said fastening means and said casing, and wherein said at least one draw and tensioning wire is fixed to one of said cross pieces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
Apparatus as in claim 1, characterized in that the cable duct and the cable holder present generally circular cross sections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
Apparatus as in claim 1, characterized in that the cable holder presents three crosspieces disposed at about an angle of 120°.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
Apparatus as in claim 1, characterized in that the casing that surrounds the cable is bipartite, and in that the point of connection of the two casing parts is located adjacent the radially disposed crosspieces.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
Apparatus as in claim 1, characterized in that the casing is provided at the outside with roller bodies distributed on the periphery of the casing.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
Apparatus as in claim 1, characterized in that at least two cable holders and at least two tensioning wires are provided, and that a cable clamp is provided for holding the tensioning wires together between each two successive cable holders.
