Abstract
A cable grip adapted to enclose a cable and comprising a split sleeve of open meshed structure with two series of loops along the two free longitudinal edges and a flexible locking member having a central loop and two legs extending from that loop for interconnecting the interfingered series of loops. The central loop is received in two adjacent loops at one end of the two longitudinal edges, and the legs extend through each of the remaining interfingered loops and are coupled together at the other end of these edges. To form the closure for the split sleeve, the sleeve is first wrapped around the cable so that the two series of loops are interfingered except for two adjacent loops at the top end, a rigid pin is maneuvered through all but the two top loops, the flexible locking member is maneuvered through these top loops and secured to the pin, and the pin is withdrawn, pulling the locking member with it through the remaining loops. Then, the locking member is released from the pin and is fastened in place.
