Abstract:
Cable holding arrangement with a holding plate (10; 22; 31) having a plurality of similar holding openings (11) arranged next to each other in a row, with at least one holding clip (13; 20; 29) that has two opposed plug feet (15) connected with each other through a holding area (14; 30) in a normally outwardly-biased and outwardly-diverging and untensioned condition for insertion in two of the holding openings (11) and which forms a U-like arrangement in the plugged-in condition by means of which a cable (12) to be secured can be clasped and pressed onto the holding plate (10; 22; 31), the plug feet (15) having an arrangement (16) defining stop teeth disposed along said plug feet (15) for locating with the holding openings (11) by application of opposing inward pressure to the opposed plug feet (15) sufficient to overcome the normally outwardly biased and outwardly-diverging condition of the plug feet (15) and to thereby align the plug feet (15) with two spaced-apart holding openings (11) between which the cable (12) is positioned.
