Strain relief device

A strain relief device is disclosed for securely holding a wire in a manner restraining the wire from being pulled longitudinally out of a housing. The housing has an opening therein extending along a longitudinally axis from a mouth portion to a chamber bottom. The opening has a narrow mouth portion sized large enough to receive a wire and a chamber portion located deeper in the opening and sized significantly larger than said mouth portion. A strain relief member is positioned in the chamber portion near the location of a junction of the mouth portion and the chamber portion along a first side of a wire inserted into the opening. The strain relief member provides a structure around which a wire inserted into the opening may be bent from a straight wire to a wire having at least one angled bend therein. A wire bending member is movable from a first position located outside of the opening to a second position located inside said opening. As the wire bending member moves from the first position to the second position, the wire bending member applies force to an opposite side of the wire at a location on the wire deeper in the chamber which causes the wire to bend around the strain relief member.
