A mounting device for an elongate member, comprising: an elongate housing having an elongate axis; an internal passageway passing through the elongate housing parallel to the elongate axis; an elongate sleeve located within the internal passageway and being configured for longitudinal movement along the passageway; a plurality of ball-receiving recesses in the wall of the internal passageway, each recess having a ball-guiding surface inclined to the longitudinal axis; a plurality of apertures in the sleeve; a ball located in each of the ball-receiving recesses and engaged with a respective aperture in the sleeve, the balls and the apertures being configured to allow the balls to project partially through the apertures but to prevent balls from passing through; biasing means configured to bias the sleeve in a direction to urge the balls to project radially inwardly through their respective apertures in the sleeve and into the internal passageway.

Mounting device for an elongate member

A mounting device () for an elongate flexible member extending through an aperture (), comprising: an elongate body () having a longitudinal axis; an internal passageway passing through the elongate body () parallel to the longitudinal axis, for receipt of the elongate flexible member; a plurality of apertures () in the elongate body (); an engagement member () in each apertures () and constrained to move along a displacement axis inclined to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body (); a plurality of actuation members (), each engaged with a respective engagement member (), whereby displacement of the actuation member () in a first direction displaces the engagement members () outwardly to project beyond the periphery of the elongate body () and displacement of the actuations members () in a second, opposite direction displaces the engagement members () inwardly; and biasing means () biasing the actuation members () in the first direction.
