ABSTRACT:
A cable clamp may be constructed from a hollow body, a wedge-shaped member and a means for dislodging the member from the body. The body includes a tapered channel that is sized and shaped to accommodate the member and round, flat or rectangular cable sections. The means for dislodging the member include an aperture extending from one side of the member to the other, at least one cylindrical bearing surface positioned at the upper end of the body, and a camshaft. The camshaft has at least one cylindrical end with an inward facing end and an outward facing end. A cylindrical shaft in orthogonally and eccentrically mounted to the inward facing end. The camshaft is positioned so that the cylindrical shaft will bear against the inner surface of the aperture and the end portion will bear against the bearing surface. When the camshaft is rotated, the cylindrical shaft will cause the aperture and the wedge-shaped member to be displaced upwardly from the body. Standard means for rotating the camshaft include: standard screw slots, Phillips screw slots, hex nut connectors, Allen sockets, Torx sockets, and square socket connectors. In a variant, a separate, removable dislodging tool may replace the camshaft as may a captive camshaft that has only a single cylindrical end portion constrained within the upper end of the body. Other variants include means of attaching the body to objects, including wire bails, holes in the body and hooks. Means of connecting the member to the wire bail are provided.
