Abstract
Abstract A device for mounting a cable in a cable protection sleeve that makes use of a disc ( 101;102 ). Among the disc's various structural features, the disc has a front face or surface, that is, one which is intended to face towards the outside of the sleeve. The front face of the disc includes at least one cable securing mechanism ( 140;141 ) which, in turn, includes a cable securing flange ( 141, 4, 4 ) enclosed in a housing ( 120; 20, 20; 20, 23, 20 ) formed on the front face of the disc. When the cable securing flange is received in the housing, a cable secured relative to the disc by the flange resists outwardly directed tensile forces, as well as torsion and bending moments applied to the cable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
Device for mounting at least one cable in a disc, constituted by at least two elements, intended to be located in a cable connection protection sleeve, the disc having an outer portion towards the outside of the sleeve, characterized in that said disc has at least one cable securing means located in the outer portion and fixedly held relative to said disc by fixing means, said at least one cable securing means comprising a cable securing flange enclosed in a housing defined in the outer portion of the disc.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
Device for mounting at least one cable in a disc, constituted by at least two elements, intended to be located in a cable connection protection sleeve, the disc having an outer portion towards the outside of the sleeve, characterized in that said disc has at least one cable securing means located in the outer portion and fixedly held relative to said disc by fixing means, said at least one cable securing means comprising a cable securing flange enclosed in a housing defined in the outer portion of the disc.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
Device according to claim 1 , characterized in that, when the disc is formed by two elements, each disc element includes a trough defined therein, the trough sized to receive the securing flange substantially therein, the trough having trough portions extending radially away from the corresponding cable mounted in the disc.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
Device according to claim 1 , characterized in that, the disc is formed by three elements comprising two edge elements positioned on either side of an intermediate element, and the housing, which is intended for positioning said at least one cable securing means, is formed by two troughs respectively on each edge element and by two troughs formed on the intermediate element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
Device according to claim 2 , characterized in that the trough is overall parallelepipedic and has defined in a front of a trough at least one opening, said at least one opening being axially aligned with at least one cable passage presented by the disc.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
Device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the housing is formed by walls molded with the elements of the disc.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
90 words
Device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the disc has a wall with first and second parallel ribs formed thereon separated by a hollow, the sleeve comprising an envelope with a third rib formed on an inner face of the envelope, the disc being positioned in the envelope by cooperation of the first and second parallel ribs with the third rib, the hollow and the third rib each being interrupted by respective zones positioned relative to each other to inhibit rotation of the disc relative to the envelope.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
85 words
Device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cable securing flange is constituted by two flange halves intended to be disposed and fixed on one another on either side of the at least one cable to be secured, each said flange half presenting a central zone, of overall parallelepipedic space requirement and comprising at least one semi-cylindrical passage through which said at least one cable is to be secured, and two end zones traversed by holes through which the fixing means may pass.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
Device according to claim 7 , characterized in that an inner wall of the at least one semi-cylindrical passage bears at least one projecting rib.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
106 words
Device for mounting at least one cable in a disc, constituted by at least two elements, intended to be located in a cable connection protection sleeve, the disc having an outer portion towards the outside of the sleeve, characterized in that said disc has at least one cable securing means located in the outer portion and fixedly held relative to said disc by fixing means, said at least one cable securing means comprising a cable securing flange enclosed in a housing defined in the outer portion of the disc, wherein said at least one cable securing means comprises stackable securing rings positioned in the securing flange.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
106 words
Device for mounting at least one cable in a disc, constituted by at least two elements, intended to be located in a cable connection protection sleeve, the disc having an outer portion towards the outside of the sleeve, characterized in that said disc has at least one cable securing means located in the outer portion and fixedly held relative to said disc by fixing means, said at least one cable securing means comprising a cable securing flange enclosed in a housing defined in the outer portion of the disc, wherein said at least one cable securing means comprises stackable securing rings positioned in the securing flange.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
33 words
Device according to claim 9 , characterized in that positioning means are formed on said securing rings so as to facilitate stacking thereof and avoid their relative slide with respect to one another.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
42 words
Device according to claim 10 , characterized in that said securing rings comprise inner and outer surfaces, and said positioning means comprise grooves that the outer surface of the rings bears, and ribs borne by the inner surface of the said rings.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
36 words
Device according to claim 10 , characterized in that said positioning means comprise a lug adapted to be positioned in an opening, the lug and the opening being disposed in an upper zone of the rings.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
105 words
A disc for mounting at least one cable in a cable protection sleeve, the disc having at least two elements and having a cable passage defined therein, the disc comprising a flange adapted to be secured to the at least one cable; a housing defined be the elements and having housing portions extending radially past the sidewalls of the cable passage, the flange sized to be substantially received in the housing and having flange portions opposing the housing portions, the flange portions being biased against the housing portion to secure the at least one cable against torsional forces which may be exerted on the cable.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
105 words
A disc for mounting at least one cable in a cable protection sleeve, the disc having at least two elements and having a cable passage defined therein, the disc comprising a flange adapted to be secured to the at least one cable; a housing defined be the elements and having housing portions extending radially past the sidewalls of the cable passage, the flange sized to be substantially received in the housing and having flange portions opposing the housing portions, the flange portions being biased against the housing portion to secure the at least one cable against torsional forces which may be exerted on the cable.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
33 words
The disc of claim 13 , wherein the disc comprises an outer portion adapted to be positioned toward the outside of an sleeve, and wherein the housing is defined in an outer portion.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
24 words
