Abstract:
A plug for use with a conduit receiving therein a cable, the plug comprising:a first and a second secondary securing elements each being semicircular so as to form a circular configuration when the first and second secondary securing elements are combined to form a securing element, the first and second secondary securing elements having a securing device provided therebetween so as to maintain attachment between the first and second secondary securing elements, the securing element having therein an inner threading; a retainer having an outer threading corresponding to the inner threading of the securing element, extensions extending out of the retainer and having a wedged end formed on a free end of each extension; an enclosing element having a skirt formed on an outer periphery of the enclosing element and holes defined between the outer periphery and the skirt to correspond to the extensions of the retainer so as to allow the extensions to extend through the holes; an elastomer having through holes defined through a periphery of the elastomer to allow the extensions to extend through the through holes; a pusher clamping the elastomer with the enclosing element and having bores defined to correspond to the extensions; and wedged shaped stops each having a slit defined to correspond to the extensions of the retainer, whereby screwing the securing element to the retainer by the mating of the inner threading and the outer threading will deform the elastomer due to the extension of the extensions of the retainer through the holes of the enclosing element, the through holes of the elastomer, the bores of the pusher and the slits of the stops and the abutment of the wedged ends of the extensions to a side face of the stops.
