By the water protecting effect of the hanging bell-shaped packing (14) and the fixing effect of the tightening ring, it can prevent the penetration of water from the outside and simultaneously can securely fix cables of various diameters without changing the parts. | InventorAssigneeApplicationNo. 06/385396 filed on 05/20/1982US Classes:174/655, Threaded casing with resilient fingers174/653, Threaded casing with deformable member285/140.1, Expandable detent engages plate to hold nipple411/14Including gauge meansExaminersPrimary: Grimley, A.
