Abstract:
1. Wire attachment for a sheathed wire including a wire and a sheath surrounding the wire, the wire attachment comprising: a housing, an axial bore inside the housing including an opening adapted to receive the sheathed wire; a spool slidably arranged inside the axial bore, the spool being adapted to receive the wire and comprising an engagement member for fixedly engaging the wire to the spool, such that any longitudinal movement of the wire will be transmitted to the spool, a sheath attachment member for fixing the sheath inside the axial bore at a distance from the spool, such that the spool and the wire are free to move axially with respect to the sheath, wherein the sheath attachment member is arranged to exert a substantially radial pressure onto the outer surface of the sheath whereby the sheath attachment member may be attached essentially without disturbing the axial position of the sheath, an aperture is provided through one side of the housing giving access to manipulation of the engagement member in the axial bore from outside of the housing, and a mutual engagement between the spool and the axial bore allowing axial movement therebetween but preventing rotational movement of the spool inside the axial bore, such that that the engagement member will always face the side of the housing comprising the aperture.
