Abstract:
1. A cable-clamping device for a household appliance, comprising: a base having a through-seat for accommodating at least one electrical cable of the household appliance; and a clamping element progressively insertable in the seat in a first direction transversal to the seat and defined in use by an axis laying on a longitudinal symmetry plane of the clamping element, for clamping in use the cables against a bottom wall of the seat; the clamping element being delimited between a first and a second ends by a first and a second lateral flanks essentially parallel to the symmetry plane and by an upper face essentially parallel to the lateral flanks, the first and the second ends being provided with coupling means to the base comprising snapping retaining means made at the second end and an insertion seat for at least one removable tightening element, wherein the insertion seat is defined by at least one first recess open on the first lateral flank and flush with said upper face, by at least one second recess open on the second flank and immediately adjacent to, and flush with, said first recess, and at least one slot made transversally through the first end, in a second direction essentially perpendicular to the lateral flanks and on a side opposite to said first recess.
