A is a cable clip, B is a flange of a structural material, for example, using a channel material, to which the cable clip is fixed, and the cable clip A is a support substrate. 1 and one end of the support substrate 1 so as to project from the curved or bent connecting portion, in this example, the curved connecting portion 2, cover the surface of the support substrate 1 and cover the front end in the protruding direction. A flat cable holding plate 3 that forms a cable holding groove 5 having a U-shaped cross-section between the surface of the support substrate 1 and close to or in contact with the surface, and the other end of the support substrate 1 is also curved or The bent connecting portion, in this example, is arranged to protrude through the curved connecting portion 9 so that the back surface of the support substrate 1 is partially spaced apart and the tip in the protruding direction is close to or in contact with the support substrate 1 side. With the back surface of the support substrate 1 Is provided with a sandwiching plate 10 having a C-shaped cross section for forming a sandwiching groove 11 and is formed integrally with a spring steel by bending the spring steel. The length of the cable holding groove 5 is set to the number of cables C, and the cable holding plate 3 is urged toward the support substrate 1 with respect to the curved connecting portion 2 so that the cross-sectionally inverted U-shape. The cable C is elastically pressed in the cable holding groove 5 and can be held freely so as to allow the cable C to swing in the cable holding groove 5 when the number of cables C is a plurality of the number of cables C or less. It is as.

  In this example, the cable clip A is provided with a pushing operation piece 7 for pushing the cable holding plate 3 from the tip toward the separating direction of the support substrate 1 at the tip of the cable holding plate 3 in the protruding direction. Further, a holding guide 12 is arranged at the tip of the holding plate 10 from the tip in the direction of separating the support substrate 1, and a series of the bent connection portion 2 is connected to the support substrate 1 and the cable holding plate 3. The slit 4 is arranged.

  In this example, the cable clip A is formed by bending a 0.6 mm thick stainless steel spring to form the S-shaped cross section. For example, the length is about 4 cm, the width is about 2 cm, and the maximum It is an integrated bending product with a thickness of about 2 cm.

  The cable holding groove 5 of this example is for a large number of, for example, a maximum of four cables C having a diameter of 7 mm, and in this example, the curved connecting portion 2 is matched to the diameter of the cable C. The inner diameter of the cable holding plate 3 is inclined from the curved connecting portion 2 to the support substrate 1, and the distance from the support substrate 1 at the tip in the protruding direction is about 5 to 6 mm. The cables C are held elastically regardless of the number of the cables.

  At this time, the support substrate 1 and the cable holding plate 3 having a width of 2 cm are partly divided in the width direction by a series of slits 4 through the curved connecting portions 2 arranged on the support substrate 1 and the cable holding plate 3. The slit 4 in this example is substantially the same as the cable holding plate 3 from the position of about 1/2 to 1/3 of the support substrate 1 on the side of the longitudinal curved connecting portion via the curved connecting portion 2. The slit 4 has a width of, for example, about 2 mm so as to extend over the entire length, and the slit 4 is arranged at a central position in the width direction so that the support substrate 1 and the cable holding plate 3 are separated in the width direction. Divide into two equal parts.

  The cable holding plate 3 includes a bent piece 6 that is bent or bent toward the support substrate 1 side, and the end of the bent piece 6 is in contact with the surface side of the support substrate 1. Alternatively, in the present example, the push-opening operation piece 7 is arranged at the tip thereof via the bending piece 6 while being arranged so as to be in contact with each other. The plate 3 is arranged so as to stand up from the bent piece 6 at a predetermined angle, in this example, at a right angle so as to be folded back to the support substrate 1. At this time, the push-out operation piece 7 has an upright width of about 1 cm, for example, so that the tip position in the protruding direction does not protrude greatly from the cable clip A.

The cable clip A of this example, which is cut and raised and has the acute-angle projecting piece 13, is placed at an appropriate fixing site such as a flange B of a structural material or a protruding edge of an installation object, for example, at a position where the cable C is held. In this manner, the fixing part is received and fixed between the support substrate 1 and the holding plate 10 using the holding guide 12, and a plus driver or a minus driver is inserted into the driver receiving hole 8 of the push-opening operation piece 7. Thus, a single or a large number of cables C used for input / output are inserted into the opened cable holding groove 5 to perform elastic holding thereof. When fixing the cable clip A to a structural material or an installation object, the cut and raised acute-angle projecting piece 13 is inclined in the insertion direction. The cable C can be reliably held by the fixed portion, and the series of slits 4 are arranged from the support substrate 1 to the cable holding plate 3 so that the cable holding groove by the driver can be used. The opening of 5 and the insertion of the cable C can be performed as easily as possible, and the usability can be improved. Since the cable clip A is a compact one having a size of several centimeters, it does not occupy any more space for holding the cable C.

  Further, the length of the cable holding groove 5 having a U-shaped cross section is used for four cables C, in this example four cables C having a diameter of 7 mm, and the cable holding plate 3 is connected to the curved connecting portion 2. Since the cable holding plate 3 is urged toward the support substrate 1 side and biased toward the support substrate 1 side, the cable C can be held in a resiliently pressed manner in the cable holding groove 5. When the number is less than the above-mentioned number, for example, one, the cable C receives an urging force and is placed in the back position of the cable holding groove 5, and when two or three, the other cable is aligned with the one. Since C can be accommodated in the cable holding groove 5 so as to swing in the cable holding groove 5, it is possible to avoid fixing the position of the cable C in the cable holding groove 5. For example, the cable C is connected to the cable holding groove 5 from multiple directions. The cable C is overloaded. The cable C can be swung in the cable holding groove 5 so that the relative position of the cable, the direction of the cable, the diameter of the cable, the slack of the cable, etc. In various cases in the arrangement form of the cable C generated in (1), the cable C can be held stably and reliably without imposing a burden.
