Abstract
A wire clamping device including a body, at least one bore through the body for an end of a wire and at least one channel in the body converging at an acute angle and into communication with the bore towards an inlet end of the bore. An abutment is at an end of the channel remote from the inlet end of the bore, and a wedge is movable along the channel between the abutment and a region of communication with the bore. A face of the wedge facing the abutment is provided with an undercut groove, and a hole is provided through the abutment for passage therethrough of a rod-like tool provided with diametrically opposed projections at one end for pulling engagement with the undercut groove by partial rotation of the tool from an insertion position.
