Patent ID: 8690599

Claim:
A cable gland ( 1 ) for a shielded cable ( 2 ), comprising a screw sleeve ( 9 ) and a clamping insert ( 4 ) which engages in said screw sleeve, and a union nut ( 7 ) or pressing screw for acting on the clamping insert ( 4 ) in axial and radial directions and for radially deforming a clamping region or clamping fingers ( 6 ) of said clamping insert, a contact device ( 10 ) having at least one or having a plurality of contact fingers ( 11 ) which are distributed over a circumference provided in the screw sleeve ( 9 ), at least a portion of a longitudinal extent of said contact fingers bearing against shielding of the cable ( 2 ) in a use position, the contact device ( 10 ) has at least one support or ring ( 13 ), which is arranged in the screw sleeve ( 9 ), and at least one or more of the resilient contact fingers ( 11 ) proceed from said support or ring and, adjacent to the support or ring ( 13 ) in the axial direction, have a deformable projection ( 14 ) having a convex curvature or an angled form in longitudinal section in a starting position, and, in a continuation from said projection, run approximately in an insertion direction of the cable ( 2 ), and in that a stop surface ( 15 ), which extends radially inward and, in the process, in a relative insertion direction of the cable ( 2 ) in a manner inclined or obliquely with respect to said cable, for the projection of the contact finger or fingers ( 11 ) is provided in a region of the deformable projection ( 14 ) and engages beneath or behind said deformable projection against a direction of action of the union nut ( 7 ) or pressing screw, and the clamping insert ( 4 ) or a pressing ring which is acted on by said clamping insert has, on an end face which faces the deformable projection ( 14 ) of the contact finger/fingers ( 11 ), a pressing surface ( 16 ) which is arranged obliquely to a longitudinal center axis of the cable gland ( 1 ) and by which, when the clamping insert ( 4 ) is acted on in the axial direction and pushed in, the curved or angled deformable projection ( 14 ) of the contact finger ( 11 ) can be acted on that side thereof which is averted from the stop surface ( 15 ), and is deformable in such a way that it is movable closer to or pressed against the oblique stop surface ( 15 ) or the pressing surface ( 16 ), as a result of which a free part of the contact finger/fingers ( 11 ) which continues the deformable projection ( 14 ) is pivoted radially inward in a direction of the longitudinal center axis of the cable gland ( 1 ) and pressed against an inserted cable ( 2 ) or the shielding ( 3 ) of said cable.
