НАТЯЖНОЙ ЗАЖИМ ДЛЯ ИЗОЛИРОВАННОГО ВОЗДУШНОГО КАБЕЛЯ

Изобретение относится к натяжному зажиму для изолированного воздушного кабеля, в частности воздушного кабеля пучковой сборки. Между металлическими пластинами корпуса расположены клиновидные пластмассовые части, между которыми зажимаются концы проводов кабеля посредством зажимного болта. От обеих металлических пластин корпуса отступает проушина, имеющая удлиненное запорное отверстие переменной ширины. На концах натяжной скобы, выполненной из проволоки из нержавеющей стали, расположены утолщенные секции, которые проходят сквозь запорные отверстия только в их более широком конце. Собственное напряжение натяжной скобы прижимает ветви скобы к проушинам. Технический результат - обеспечение возможности использования натяжного зажима с многожильным кабелем и удешевление за счет упрощения взаимного крепления корпуса и скобы. 10 з.п. ф-лы, 9 ил.
