摘要

Device for separating the end of a cable, especially of a telecommunications cable and, in particular, a fibre-optic telecommunications cable, from a pig for driving through a conduit, the device being mounted between a pulling stud (12) fixed to the end of the cable (2) and the pig which drives the cable, by blowing air, through the conduit (1), exerting a thrust force on the pig, the pulling stud including an end boss (13). According to the invention, this device is characterised in that it comprises a cylindrical body (23) joined to the pig and providing the support for a gripper (27) having two jaws (28, 29) which are respectively articulated on a transverse pin (30) and having, on the opposite side from the claws (34, 35) for gripping the boss of the pulling stud, heel-pieces (36, 37) on which are exerted means (40, 54, 56) for controlling the movement of the jaws.
