Abstract
A holding device for immobilizing a cable includes a generally cylindrical electromagnet with a central passageway extending therethrough and a holding assembly comprised of a ferromagnetic body joined to a tubular stem. The ferromagnetic body and stem have a passageway therethrough and are disposed so that the stem passes through the central passageway of the electromagnet. A cable which passes through the passageway of the stem and affixed thereto is immobilized when the electromagnet is activated.
