A cable assembly including a collar and a cable. The collar includes a first opening, a second opening and a third opening, each of which extends through the collar along a longitudinal dimension of the collar. The cable includes a looped end and a first cable segment extending through the first opening, a second cable segment extending through the second opening, a third cable segment extending into the third opening, and a fourth cable segment forming a loop between the first and second cable segments. The collar is crimped or swaged to the cable and is securely engaged with the first, second and third segments of the cable.

A stateless cord management device for storage and deployment of a cord, cable, or wire comprises a body having a sidewall with oppositely disposed open ends. A channel is at least partially defined by the sidewall and disposed therethrough between the oppositely disposed open ends. An access opening extends longitudinally along and through the sidewall between the oppositely disposed open ends of the sidewall. The access opening is at least partially defined by cooperatively disposed and abutting free ends of the sidewall, the free ends being at least partially separable from one another permitting access into the channel.

An improved method and device to secure a suture relative to body tissue. The device includes an outer sleeve with a generally cylindrical outer surface and an opening extending from the leading end to the trailing end adapted to receive at least a portion of the suture therein. The device also includes an inner member configured to be coaxially advanceable within the opening of the outer sleeve. The inner member and outer sleeve are configured to fixedly couple to each other and to trap at least a portion of the suture therebetween after advancement of the inner member within the outer sleeve. The device is also configured to expand from a first maximum dimension transverse to the central longitudinal axis to a second maximum dimension after advancement of the inner member within the outer sleeve.

A quick-fit anchoring device for anchoring a sheath of a control cable to a mounting bracket is disclosed, which has a slot shaped generally as a U opening to a side of the mounting bracket, wherein the slot comprises a receiving portion of circular shape which is closed along an arc of circumference extending more than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees so as to define an opening the width of which is smaller than the diameter of the receiving portion. The device comprises a hollow body adapted to be fixed to the sheath, a collar mounted on the body coaxially therewith and rotatably relative thereto about an axis of rotation coinciding with its own axis, and a spring interposed between the body and the collar. The collar forms a pair of axial projections shaped so as to be insertable into the slot by translation along a direction of insertion laying in the plane of the mounting bracket, when the collar is in a first angular position, and to be locked in the slot in this direction of insertion, when the collar is in a second angular position rotated relative to the first one. The spring is arranged to apply on the collar a torque tending to rotate this latter from the first to the second angular position. The body is provided with a ratchet cooperating with a locking seat of the collar to keep the collar locked in the first angular position, when the anchoring device is not mounted on the mounting bracket, and to unlock the collar, when the anchoring device is inserted into the slot, so as to cause the collar to rotate automatically from the first to the second position as a result of the torque applied by the spring.
