Abstract
The disclosure relates to a clamp (18) for an elongate member (16) comprising a housing (25) through which an elongate member may extend, a clamping member (33) to engage the elongate member and a locking mechanism for pressing the clamping member against the elongate member. The locking mechanism has a rotatable input (37, 41) about a defined axis and a rotary cam means (35, 39) for converting rotation of the input into linear movement of the clamping member in said axis to effect and release engagement of the clamping member with the elongate member.
