Abstract
Abstract A closure for a cable connector covered at the ends of the cables connected to each other in a sleeve through end face plates for closing both ends of the sleeve. Grasping fittings are mounted at the ends of the cable contained in the sleeve which has axial restricting means and/or rotational restricting means provided in the sleeve for preventing the grasping fittings from moving axially and/or rotationally. Thus, the closure can provide mechanical strength sufficient for enduring loads such as tension, compression and twist transmitted through the cables.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
An enclosure for a cable connector covered at the ends of the cables connected with each other in a sleeve through end face plates for closing both the ends of the sleeve and grasping fittings mounted in engaging recesses at the ends of the cable contained in the sleeve, comprising: means for resisting rotational movement of the cables including mating surfaces of said grasping fittings and said engaging recesses, said mating surfaces being formed to resist relative rotational movement; means interconnecting said grasping fittings for restricting axial movement of said cables in compression; and means for resisting axial movement of said cables in tension.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
