First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A bend restrictor system comprising: a female half collar comprising a top female half collar and a bottom female half collar, wherein the female half collar comprises an inner cavity when the top female half collar and the bottom female half collar are assembled together; a male half collar comprising a top male half collar and a bottom male half collar, wherein the male half collar comprises a first raised collar on a first end and a second raised collar on a second end; and a weighted stability collar installed inside an inner cavity of the male half collar, wherein the weighted stability collar is made from stainless steel. 2 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , wherein the weighted stability collar comprises a top weight installed onto the top male half collar, wherein the top weight includes at least one threaded hole. 3 . The bend restrictor system of claim 2 , wherein the top male half collar includes at least one top hole configured to receive a fastener to be threaded into the threaded hole of the top weight to secure the top weight to the top male half collar. 4 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , wherein the weighted stability collar comprises a bottom weight installed onto the bottom male half collar, wherein the bottom weight includes at least one threaded hole. 5 . The bend restrictor system of claim 4 , wherein the bottom male half collar includes at least one top hole configured to receive a fastener to be threaded into the threaded hole of the bottom weight to secure the bottom weight to the bottom male half collar. 6 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , wherein the female half collar and the male half collar are made from a polyurethane material. 7 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , the female half collar further comprising a groove channel configured to receive a clamping band. 8 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , the male half collar further comprising at least one groove channel configured to each receive a clamping band. 9 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , the top male half collar including at least two alignment protrusions and at least two alignment recesses, and the bottom male half collar including at least two alignment protrusions and at least two alignment recesses. 10 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , the top female half collar including at least two alignment protrusions and at least two alignment recesses, and the bottom female half collar including at least two alignment protrusions and at least two alignment recesses. 11 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , the male half collar further comprising an inner portion including a cable tunnel configured to route a length of protected cable through the male half collar. 12 . The bend restrictor system of claim 1 , the female half collar further comprising an inner portion including a cable tunnel configured to route a length of protected cable through the female half collar.
