ABSTRACT:
An automatic, lockable, and releasable range-taking cable connection for use in pole line application utilizes a pair of spring loaded gripper elements movable on inclined planar surfaces within a housing, with the gripper elements connected to a retractor mechanism that translates rotational motion of a retractor into axial movement of the grippers to release the same from the cable. A rotatable locking sleeve or cap is used to secure the gripper elements in locked position when in normal use.
