Patent ID: 8800940

Claim:
A cable clamp, comprising: a single metal plate shaped along an outer periphery of three cables that are triangularly arranged when viewed in cross-section; a mounting flange portion formed by both end portions of the metal plate being overlapped together; and a cable support member inserted between at least two horizontally arranged cables of the three cables so as to support the at least two cables between itself and the metal plate, wherein the single metal plate comprises a first sandwiching-holding portion for sandwiching and holding the at least two cables in a horizontally-spaced state with two arc-shaped portions formed to include two arcs when viewed in a cross section prior to sandwiching and holding the at least two cables, wherein the mounting flange portion is formed in a substantially perpendicular direction to a horizontal direction of the two horizontally arranged cables, the perpendicular direction of an extension of the mounting flange portion extending along a line that crosses with a line that connects central axes of the two horizontally arranged cables, wherein the cable support member is inserted with the mounting flange portion being opened, from an opening of the mounting flange portion, between the two horizontally arranged cables housed in the two arc-shaped portions respectively and held with a space horizontally by the first sandwiching-holding portion, and in a direction perpendicular to a horizontal direction and perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the two horizontally arranged cables, wherein the cable support member has a tapered shape on an end side in an insertion direction thereof for facilitating an insertion thereof between the two horizontally arranged cables, wherein the single metal plate further comprises a second sandwiching-holding portion for sandwiching and holding one cable of the three cables, which is not housed in the two arc-shaped portions of the three cables, and wherein the first sandwiching-holding portion is formed along an outer periphery of the one cable to have a substantially circular shape when viewed in the cross-section.
