Abstract:
A device for inserting wires, cables, pipes in a flexible sheath (F), said flexible sheath (F) including:a plurality of elements (3), with a slit (3a) made on said elements (3) and with said elements having two edges (31a, 31b) overlapping once another in normal condition, so as to define a channel (5); a cylindrical tubular body (21) having a front end (212), a rear end (213), an upper part and lower part with a longitudinally extending split (211); a rounded, wedge-shaped member (23); said device (D) being characterised in that: said rounded, wedge-shaped member (23) merges with said upper part of said cylindrical tubular body (21) and extending in a substantially inclined direction, with reference to the longitudinal axis of said cylindrical tubular body (21) and convergent toward said rear end (213); a sleeve (11), having circular cross section corresponding to the cross section of said cylindrical tubular body (21), is fitted inside the cylindrical body, said sleeve being delimited by two heads, a first head (112,112a) and a second head (113) respectively, of the sleeve (11) having a longitudinal extension such that said first head (112,112a) and second said head (113) respectively go in abutment on inner part of enlarged borders made at a front end (212) and at a rear end (213) of said cylindrical tubular body (21), so as to prevent any longitudinal translation of said sleeve (11) with respect to said cylindrical tubular body (21), with a longitudinally extending split (111) made in the sleeve (11), having dimensions equal to the split (211) of the cylindrical tubular body (21), so that the sleeve (11) is rotatable inside the cylindrical tubular body (21) between two working positions, a first position (H1), in which the split (111) of the sleeve (11) matches with the split (211) of the tubular body (21), so that one end of a bundle of wires or cables (C) is insertable in the device, and second position (H2), in which the split (211) of the tubular body (21) is closed by the sleeve (11), such that said wedge-shaped member (23, 23a) is adapted to cause said tubular flexible sheath (F) to slide around and along said member in a longitudinal direction (W), the profile of said member being adapted to deform, by deflection, the elements (3) of the sheath (F) by opening their edges (31a,31b) for introducing said bundle of wires or cables (C) into said tubular flexible sheath (F) through the said end (213) of said cylindrical tubular body (21).
