Abstract
Abstract An anti-telescoping cable clamp assembly for mounting and securing wire bundles. A strip of resilient material is coiled about a wire bundle inside a cable clamp assembly associated with an electrical connector. The strip of resilient material has first and second sides which include longitudinal side walls which define a channel therebetween, the channel providing a track for the tape to follow during build-up of the winding around the wire bundle and further preventing telescoping subsequent to assembly of the cable clamp about coiled strip of resilient material surrounding the wire bundle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
An anti-telescoping cable clamp assembly for a wire bundle comprising in combination: clamp means including generally opposing first and second loop clamp portions for surrounding and supporting said wire bundle; filler means disposed between said clamp means and said wire bundle, said filler means including a coiled strip of resilient material having a flat bottom portion concentrically wound about said wire bundle in a stack, said strip of resilient material having side gussets forming a track for preventing lateral telescoping of said stack along the length of said wire bundle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
An anti-telescoping cable clamp assembly for a wire bundle comprising in combination: clamp means including generally opposing first and second loop clamp portions for surrounding and supporting said wire bundle; filler means disposed between said clamp means and said wire bundle, said filler means including a coiled strip of resilient material having a flat bottom portion concentrically wound about said wire bundle in a stack, said strip of resilient material having side gussets forming a track for preventing lateral telescoping of said stack along the length of said wire bundle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The invention according to claim 1 wherein said flat bottom portion has inner and outer surfaces and said gussets have outer side-wall portion that form an angle of 60 to 90 degrees with the outer surface of said flat bottom portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
The invention according to claim 1 wherein said wire bundle defines a control axis longitudinally therethrough and said gussets have outer side-wall portions which form an angle of less than about 60 degrees with the control axis of said wire bundle upon compression of said filler structure within said clamp means.
