Claim:
A fixing device for a wire cable tray ( 6 ) that comprise longitudinal warp wires ( 8 ) and transverse weft wires ( 10 ), comprising: a base ( 2 ) with a mounting face ( 16 ) by which the base mounts to the cable tray; and fixing means ( 4 ; 34 , 38 , 38 ′), which comprises at least one trough-shaped longitudinal housing ( 18 ) in the mounting face ( 16 ) configured to receive a first wire of the cable tray, at least one bearing surface ( 20 ) undercut relative to the mounting face ( 16 ), said bearing surface extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal housing ( 18 ) and being disposed parallel to a back ( 22 ) of the longitudinal housing ( 18 ) at an intermediate level between the back ( 22 ) of and the mounting face ( 16 ), and at least one transverse cut-out ( 24 ) corresponding to an intersection between the longitudinal housing ( 18 ) and the bearing surface ( 20 ), the cut-out ( 24 ) extending from one edge of the mounting face ( 16 ) to the longitudinal housing ( 18 ), wherein a plurality of said longitudinal housings ( 18 ) are disposed parallel to each other at a regular first pitch, and a plurality of said transverse cut-outs ( 24 ) are disposed parallel to each other at a regular second pitch, the first pitch between the longitudinal housings ( 18 ) being the same as the second pitch between the transverse cut-outs ( 24 ).
