ABSTRACT:
Described is an apparatus for releasably clamping a cable or line (6), comprising a housing (1), a clamping lever (3) which is mounted rotatably thereon (at 7) and two clamping surfaces (2, 8) of which the first is arranged on the housing (1) and the second is arranged on the clamping lever (3) and between which the cable or line (6) passes. The cable is also passed around at least one direction-changing means (8-10), the clamping lever (3) being designed for a lever ratio b/a such that at most the coefficient of friction .mu. is attained at the frictional location.
So that the amount of space required is reduced, while nonetheless ensuring that the cable or line is securely held, even under a steady or fluctuating tensile loading, as well as ensuring easy and defined opening of the arrangement, the invention provides that disposed on the clamping lever (3) are three direction-changing locations (8-10), the axes of which extend parallel to the axis of rotation (7) of the clamping lever (3) and parallel to each other and clamp a triangle, and that a release lever (4) which is rotatably mounted (at 11) in the housing (1) is provided with a release cam (12) for acting on an engagement member (10; 22) secured to the clamping lever (3).
