A support structure is provided for supporting a cable. The support structure includes a body portion extending circumferentially about an axis. The body portion includes a first wall, a second wall extending substantially parallel to the first wall, and a third wall coupled between the first wall and the second wall. The first wall, the second wall, and the third wall define an opening extending along a circumferential length of the body portion. The body portion receives the cable within the opening. A retention structure is coupled to the first wall and projects from the first wall towards the second wall. The retention structure extends substantially parallel to the third wall. The retention structure retains the cable within the opening.

A self-locking securing device facilitates secure connection to cable or elongated object ends, and employs a retaining jaw, a barrel, a spacer and a sleeve. In various embodiments, the retaining jaw and spacer are formed as part or all of a replaceable cartridge and can include a fastening ring therebetween.

A connector assembly for fastening a rope to a tubular frame includes a pair of sleeves extending inside the tubular frame through a pair of aligned holes. Each sleeve has a flange portion disposed outside the tubular frame and a tubular portion arranged inside the tubular frame. Each sleeve includes a pair of clips biased outwardly of the tubular portion and engaged with an inner surface of the tubular frame. Also, the connecting assembly includes an elongated member coupled with the rope, and extending inside of a first sleeve through a second sleeve. A nut member has a cap portion engaged with the flange portion of the first sleeve, and a hollow cylindrical portion extending inside the first sleeve. The elongated member is disposed, partly, inside and in threaded engagement with the hollow cylindrical portion.

A carriage (10) for holding a clamping member (14) in a clamping device (12), the carriage (10) comprising a central portion (24) and at least one holding portion (26) for holding the clamping member (14), wherein the, or each, holding portion (26) is foldable relative to the central portion (24) between an open position of the, or each, holding portion (26) and a closed position of the, or each, holding portion (26).

An apparatus and method for terminating a multi-stranded, non-parallel cable. An anchor is provided on the end of each strand. A collector is provided to link the anchors and connected strands into a single unit. An alignment fixture is provided to transition the strands from the non-parallel lay within the cable to a parallel path adjacent to the anchors.

According to an embodiment, a component for attachment to an article includes an upper component that is made of a thermoplastic material having a first melting temperature and a flange member that is molded onto the upper component and made of a thermoplastic elastomer material having a second melting temperature that is lower than the first melting temperature of the upper component. The flange member extends laterally from a bottom end of the upper component so that a bottom surface of the flange member is flush with or positioned axially below a bottom surface of the upper component. The melting temperature of the thermoplastic elastomer material enables the flange member to be directly coupled to the article via heat welding and the like without substantially affecting the upper component.
