ABSTRACT:
A sealing nut adapted for use in connection with a liquid-tight connector, which is mountable on a housing of an electrical or mechanical device and which includes a grasping portion adjacent an end thereof projecting outwardly from the housing, is disclosed. More particularly, the sealing nut includes a base having a passageway extending therethrough along a longitudinal axis of the base and being sized and shaped to removably receive the grasping portion of the connector. The sealing nut also includes a cover pivotally connected to the base such that the cover is movable between an open position, in which the cover exposes the passageway of the base to an extent sufficient to allow a cable to be fed through the sealing nut in a substantially straight line running generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base, and a closed position, in which the cover overlies the passageway in the base such that the cover loosely guides the cable to form a bend therein. A retaining mechanism is provided for retaining the cover in its closed position. A cooperating mechanism is also provided for cooperating with the grasping portion of the connector so as to grasp an adjacent portion of the cable in a liquid-tight and strain-relieving manner. The cooperating mechanism is located within the base, whereby the liquid-tight and strain-relieving functions performed thereby are not compromised during use even if the cover is inadvertently moved from its closed position.
