Claim 1
Independent Claim
259 words
A stress relief device (1, 1') for use between a connector (2), to the rear of which it can be removably attached, and a cable harness (3), the device (1, 1') comprising a clamp (10, 10') having an open rear part (102") forming a receptacle for the cables of said harness and an annular front part (102'), and a ring (11) having a particular inside diameter adapted to be fixed to the connector (2), the ring (11) having in its rear part an internal flange (110) and in said front annular part (102') an increased thickness periphery (1000) having a profile complementary to that of said internal flange (110) to maintain the annular front part (102') of the clamp (10, 10') in rearward abutment, characterized in that the material of the clamp (10, 10') has elastic properties and in that said front part (102') of the clamp (10, 10') is open, this part having the shape of a "C" of which the facing two lips (1001, 1002) are separated by a distance determined so that, when a compression force is applied to it, said lips (1001, 1002) can move towards each other by virtue of its elasticity sufficiently to enable insertion of said front annular part (102') of the clamp (10, 10') inside the ring (11) having said particular internal diameter, wherein said rear part (102") of the clamp (10, 10') includes at least one peg (105) projecting from its external surface so as to restrict forward movement of the clamp (10, 10') after insertion into the ring (11).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
259 words
A stress relief device (1, 1') for use between a connector (2), to the rear of which it can be removably attached, and a cable harness (3), the device (1, 1') comprising a clamp (10, 10') having an open rear part (102") forming a receptacle for the cables of said harness and an annular front part (102'), and a ring (11) having a particular inside diameter adapted to be fixed to the connector (2), the ring (11) having in its rear part an internal flange (110) and in said front annular part (102') an increased thickness periphery (1000) having a profile complementary to that of said internal flange (110) to maintain the annular front part (102') of the clamp (10, 10') in rearward abutment, characterized in that the material of the clamp (10, 10') has elastic properties and in that said front part (102') of the clamp (10, 10') is open, this part having the shape of a "C" of which the facing two lips (1001, 1002) are separated by a distance determined so that, when a compression force is applied to it, said lips (1001, 1002) can move towards each other by virtue of its elasticity sufficiently to enable insertion of said front annular part (102') of the clamp (10, 10') inside the ring (11) having said particular internal diameter, wherein said rear part (102") of the clamp (10, 10') includes at least one peg (105) projecting from its external surface so as to restrict forward movement of the clamp (10, 10') after insertion into the ring (11).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the front of said "C" shape front part (102') and the rear (21) of said connector (2) have complementary profile teeth (101, 202) in order to clip together in adjustable relative spatial positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the ring (11) has a screwthread (111) complementary to a screwthread (201) of said connector (2) so that the ring (11) can be screwed to the connector (2).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that said rear part (202") of the clamp has a straight configuration.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that said rear part (202") of the clamp has an angled configuration.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that said rear part (202") of the clamp (10, 10') is extended rearwardly by an increased thickness area (104) forming an abutment to receive attachment means (4) fixing said cable harness (3) against the inside of the clamp (10, 10').
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the material of the clamp (10, 10') is a composite material having elastic properties.
