Embodiment Construction

[0017] The leash assembly of the present invention is figure 1 and 2 are generally indicated by reference numeral 10 . The leash assembly 10 includes a generally circular housing 12 and a handle 14 . The housing is provided with a central bore 16 and defines an axis 18 . The case 12 is composed of first and second case halves 20 and 22 . The housing is made of ABS, but other materials are also possible. The halves are held together by four screws 23 which extend through screw holes on one housing half and into mounting posts on the other half. For the sake of illustration, the figure 1 The surface of the leash assembly shown is considered the front of the part.

[0018] The two halves are preferably identical, so only half 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 . Within the two halves, identical parts are indicated by identical reference numerals. The housing half comprises a flat annular radial wall 24 . An outer annular half wall 26 is connected to the ...

Abstract

A fish tape assembly has a handle slidably mounted on a case formed by a pair of case halves. The periphery of the case has a gap formed therein. The handle has an exterior grip and shoe with a web extending from the shoe through the gap in the case to an interior belt. The belt is continuous around the full circumference of the case to provide increased strength and a shield that precludes a fish tape inside the case from inadvertently popping out through the gap. The handle has a passageway for the tape. The passageway includes a pair of laterally disposed posts that prevent the tape from popping out of the passageway.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an electrician's fish tape. More specifically, the present invention relates to a leash housing and an improved handle for use on the housing. Background technique [0002] A pull strap is an electrician's tool used to install wire into a conduit. The leash itself is an elongated member made of tempered spring steel, stainless steel, nylon, fiberglass with a nylon jacket, or stranded steel wire. The leash needs to be rigid enough to be pushed into a catheter and flexible enough to bend around corners or curves in the catheter. After the leash is "fished" or threaded through a conduit, a wire or cable is attached to the end of the leash and the leash is pulled back through the conduit, thereby enabling the use of the leash The belt pulls on the wire, which installs the wire into the conduit. [0003] These leashes are generally sold in lengths of 25 to 240 feet. Leashes are usually coiled due to their leng...
