Abstract

A cable mounting device has a clamping strap (1) for engagement around a cable or cables (9) to be mounted on a surface (10) and a sleeve (3) integral with the strap (1). The sleeve (3) is engageable on a screwthreaded connector pin or bolt (2) provided with radial grooves (16). The clamping strap (1) is provided with transverse grooves (13) and is formed on the lower end of the sleeve (3) with a lock means (6, 14) for engaging the clamping strap (1, 13) being formed on the upper end of the sleeve (3) on the same side of the fixing sleeve (3) as the clamping strap (1). <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION A cable mounting device This invention relates to a cable mounting device having a clamping strap for engagement around a cable or cables to be mounted, and a sleeve integral with the strap. The sleeve is engageable on a connector pin provided with radial grooves, such as a screwthreaded pin or bolt, to connect the device to a surface on which the cable is to be mounted. The clamping strap has transverse grooves and is provided on an end of the sleeve which is closest to the mounting surface when the device is connected thereto. A lock means for engaging the clamping strap is provided on the end of the sleeve which is remote from the mounting surface when the device is connected thereto.
In a known cable mounting device of this kind (German laid-open application (DE-OS) No.
31 43 775), the lock means holding claws which serve to engage the strap are formed on the opposite side of the fixing sleeve to the point at which the strap is provided on the sleeve, It is found that this arrangement of the cable strap lock means relative to the clamping strap suffers from the disadvantage that, after the strap has been engaged with the holding claws, the upper edge of the fixing sleeve intrudes into the closed holding space for the cable to such an extent that virtually a quarter of the internal space for accommodating the cable is lost. In addition, the known cable mounting device is also not satisfactory for visual reasons because the cables cannot be combined together to form a round bunch.
There is thus a need for a generally improved cable mounting device in which the strap and the lock means are secured to the fixing sleeve in a manner such that a substantially round cable bunch can be formed and mounted, which also is disposed as closely as possible to the mounting surface or plate which carries the fixing pin.
According to the present invention there is provided a cable mounting device having a clamping strap for engagement around a cable or cables to be mounted, and a sleeve integral with the strap, which sleeve is engageable on a connector pin provided with radial grooves, such as a screwthreaded pin or bolt, to connect the device to a surface on which the cable is to be mounted, wherein the clamping strap has transverse grooves and is provided on an end of the sleeve which is closest to the mounting surface when the device is connected as aforesaid, and wherein a lock means for engaging the clamping strap is provided on the end of the sleeve which is remote from the mounting surface when the device is connected as aforesaid, the lock means being provided on the same side of the fixing sleeve as the clamping strap.
The strap may be provided on a peripheral portion of the sleeve and merge into the sleeve periphery in an upwardly directed arc, for better adaptation to the shape of a bunch of cables.
For a better understanding of the present inventions, and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a side view of a cable mounting device according to the invention, with a fixing sleeve and lock means being shown in section, Figure 2 is a view from below the fixing sleeve, viewed in the direction of arrow A in Figure 1, Figure 3 is a side view of part of a further embodiment of the invention showing an alternative way in which a clamping strap is provided on the fixing sleeve, and Figure 4 shows the device of Figure 3 with a cable bunch fitted therein, in a mounted condition.
A cable mounting device of the invention shown in the accompanying drawings comprises a clamping strap 1 which is provided with transverse grooves 13, and a strap lock means 6 which carries a tongue 14which can be elastically sprung open, for engaging into the grooves 13 in the inserted strap.
The cable strap, for the purposes of fixing on a connecting or fitting pin provided with radial grooves such as a screwthreaded pin or bolt 2, is integrally connected to a fixing sleeve 3 whose inside wall 15 is so adapted to the external screwthread 16 of the screwthreaded pin or bolt 2 that the sleeve 3 can easily be pressed on to the screwthreaded pin 2 but can only be removed therefrom again by applying considerable force.
The strap 1 is formed or mounted on the lower outer edge 4 of the sleeve 3 which is closest to the mounting surface 10 in operation of the device while the associated strap lock means 6 is connected to the upper outer edge 5 of the sleeve 3, which is remote from the mounting surface 10 in operation of the device, but on the same side of the sleeve 3, by a short strap portion 7. In this way, the lock means 6 is located at such a spacing above the upper edge 5 that there is still sufficient space between the lock means 6 and the sleeve 3 or pin 2, for the tip 8 of the strap to be passed through the lock means and taken away to the sides as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention in which the strap 1 is formed on the peripheral portion 11 of the sleeve 3 and merges into the portion 11 in an upwardly directed arc 12.
This ensures that the holding space defined by the closed strap 1 is also well rounded off in the lower region, and can be even better adapted to a cable bunch 9 as can be seen in Figure 4.
As can be seen from Figure 4, the clamping strap 1 with the lock means 6 forms a substantially round internal space which therefore bears satisfactorily against the cable bunch 9 to be held in position. The bunch 9 is also carried close to the carrier plate or mounting surface 10 to which the screwthreaded pin 2 is attached such as by welding, by virtue of the strap 1 and the lock means 6 being formed laterally on the fixing sleeve 3.
It will be apparent that the form of cable strap lock means 6 shown is only shown by way of example and that any other kind of lock means or hooking means may be used which, when the device is moulded or cast in plastics material, may be easily removed from the mould with the sleeve 3 and the strap 1 in one piece to form the device in an economicaliy viable fashion.
