Patent ID: 7387281

Claim:
A clamp to be fixed to a plate member for holding a slender member, the clamp comprising: a metal plate capable of bending deformation and soldering thereof; and a flexible synthetic resin member held by the metal plate, the metal plate including: a leg used to attach the clamp to the plate member; a deformation allowing portion having at least one of a through hole and a cutout, the deformation allowing portion being held by the leg so as to face the plate member; a shape preservation member erected from the deformation allowing portion on an opposite side to the leg, the flexible synthetic resin member including: a base portion that covers at least a portion of one surface of the deformation allowing portion on a side of the shape preservation member; at least one pinching portion that pinches the slender member, the at least one pinching portion being integrally joined to the base portion and including at least one pinching portion with a frame encompassing a part or an entirety of the shape preservation member; and an excessive deformation preventing portion arranged opposite to the base portion with the deformation allowing portion located therebetween, the excessive deformation preventing portion connecting with the base portion through the at least one of the through hole and the cutout, wherein when the clamp is deformed so as to pinch the slender member between the at least one pinching portion with the frame and another one of the at least one pinching portion, or between the at least one pinching portion with the frame and a portion of the flexible synthetic resin member other than the at least one pinching portion, the shape preservation member encompassed by the at least one pinching portion with the frame is accordingly deformed, and wherein the at least one pinching portion with the frame and the shape preservation member remain deformed, even after a force applied to deform the at least one pinching portion with the frame is released.
