Improvements in Olips for Attaching to Telephone or other Cables
when Drawing the same into Pipes or Conduits.
I, JOHN GEORGE BRIEN, Electrician, of 72, Canton Street, Burdett Road,
London, E, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
-
My invention relates to improvements in clips for attaching to telephone or
other cables and has for its object to expedite the work of drawing such cables
into pipes or conduits and also to prevent the various losses which now occur
directly and induectly through a certain length of each cable having to be filled
up solid to keep it air tight and at the same time allow for sciews being inserted
to fix the cable clips, this length being cut off after the cable is drawn in
My chip may be constructed of steel or other suitable material and consists
of a tube tapered on the inside and provided with extensions which are joined
together at the further end by a cross piece
A sciew allowed to run freely through the closs piece with a loose plate for
bearing on the wedges at one end and an eye for attaching a 10pe or chain at the
other
Two wedges roughened on the inside and also tapered to fit the inside of the
tube and over the cable

Improvements in Clips for Attaching to Telephone or other Cables
when Drawing the same into Pipes or Conduits.
I, JOHN GEORGE BRIJN, Electrician, of 72, Canton Street, Burdett Road,
London, E, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what mannei
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement..
My invention relates to improvements in clips for attaching to telephone or
other cables and has for its object to expedite the work of drawing such cables
into pipes or conduits and also to prevent the various losses which now occur
directly and inducetly through a certain length of each cable having to be filled
up solid to keep it air tight and at the same time allow for screws being inserted
to fix the cable clip, this length being cut off after the cable is diawn in
My improved clip may be constructed of steel or other suitable material and

page_text: consists of a tube tapered on the inside and provided with extensions which are
joined together at the further end by a cross piece A screw is allowed to run
freely through the cross piece with a loose piece for bearing on the wedges at
the one end and an eye for attaching a 10pe or chain at the other
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying diawing:-
Fig 1 is an elevation of the clip.
Fig 2 18 a plan view of Figure 1
Fig 3 18 a section on line y-y of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a section on line X-X of Figure 1
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the wedges, the inside of which is
roughened as shewn to bite into the cable
A represents the body of the clip, BB are the extensions of the same joined
together by the cross piece C
D1s the sciew, one end of which fits loosely on the plate E, the other end of D
18 provided with an eye for attaching a rope or chain. FF are the two wedges
which are roughened on the inside and also tapered to fit inside the tube and over
the cable
Grepresents the cable in position
I will now describe the method of using my clip The screw D is diawn back
as far as possible, the body A of the clip is then slipped over the cable and the
wedges placed on each side of the latter The sciew D 18 then screwed down,
the loose plate E presses against the wedges, the result being that the body A
18 drawn over the wedges, so tightening them, and causing a grip on the cable
which is further increased by the tension when diawing in.
I do not limit myself to the precise details shewn for instance, the screw
may be dispensed with and the stram on the cable made to produce the same result
Having now particularly described the nature of my invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim 18:-
1. A cable clip for attaching to telephone or other cables when diawing in
substantially as described
2 A cable clip, the body of which consists of a tube tapered on the inside, with
wedges to fill up the space between the cable and the said body of the clip, sub-
stantially as described"
3 A cable clip with a screw to diaw the body of the clip over the wedges
substantially as described
