Abstract:
1. A clamping device for at least one electrical cable, comprising: a first clamping member; a second clamping member; and a connecting arrangement providing on said first clamping member and said second clamping member and being configured to exert a clamping force between said first clamping member and said second clamping member for securely clamping said electrical cable between said first clamping member and said second clamping member, in such a manner that when said electrical cable slightly deforms due to thermal expansion and contraction, said first clamping member and said second clamping member are arranged to move with respect to each other so as to allow a slight relative movement between said first clamping member and said second clamping member for preventing unwanted damage to said electrical cable, wherein said second clamping member is configured to have a predetermined elasticity for allowing said relative movement between said first clamping member and said second clamping member, and comprises a second main member, and a plurality of second supporting members integrally extending from two sides of said second main member, wherein each of said second supporting members has a second supporting slot defined by a second concavely curved end surface forming on said corresponding second supporting member, wherein said second main member of said second clamping member has a through accommodating slot extending along a longitudinal direction of said second main member, wherein said accommodating slot forms a substantially hollow structure on said second main member so as to impart said predetermined amount of elasticity thereon, wherein said second main member has a top portion and a lower portion extending from said top portion to normally position in a space formed between said first supporting members, wherein said top portion of said second main member has a substantially kidney-shaped cross section having two curved longitudinal side edges and two curved transverse side edges, wherein a length of said two curved longitudinal side edges of said top portion is substantially longer than that of said two curved transverse side edges of said top portion.
