Abstract:
A foundation interface device for pulling a cable (16) that is arranged in a conduit into a structure. The interface device has a flexible, generally cylindrical pull-in member (12) that is connected to the conduit. At the leading end of the pull-in member is a weak link latch having releasable arms (72) connected to the pull-in member and connection piece (66) connected to the cable. At the rear of the pull in member is a slidable sleeve operably connected to extendable teeth (40). The slidable sleeve has an abutment (36) that contacts an opening of the structure when the interface device is pulled into the opening, causing the sleeve to slide rearward at thus extending the teeth to lock the interface device in the opening.
