Patent ID: 8309852

Claim:
A strain relief apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a main body having a base member that includes a first surface and a second surface, and a cone member extending from the first surface of the base member, the cone member including an orifice that penetrates through the main body to the second surface; a primary clamp that secures to the main body and shaped to interface with the base member to form a first set of clamping surfaces where the orifice penetrates the second surface; and a secondary clamp, the secondary clamp having a tapered cavity therein that penetrates through the secondary clamp and is shaped to receive the cone member, wherein a first fastener that secures the secondary clamp to a chassis via a thru-hole in the main body and a second fastener that secures the secondary clamp to the chassis via a thru-hole in the primary clamp, and wherein a surface of the tapered cavity and a surface of the cone member form a second set of clamping surfaces; wherein the second set of clamping surfaces provide an electrical path to the chassis.
