Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a longitudinal attachment moulding for an electrical cable or other, which includes a bottom section to be attached to a base, slightly flexible sides rising from the bottom section, which form between them a cable space that is wider than the distance between their free edges, into which the cable or other similar is pressed by temporarily spread- ing to the side the flexible free edges of the sides, members for carrying the cable between the sides at such a height that space remains beneath the cable for an attachment member, e.g. the head of a screw.
  • Finnish patent FI 31690 shows a single clip, which is manufac ⁇ tured by spray moulding in a suitable form.
  • the split level of the form is located in the centre, seen from the direction of the cable, in which case only short pieces can be produced.
  • a single clip is known from British patent GB 894867, in which a hole for the head of a screw in made in a separate operation.
  • the moulding includes a cover, which is pressed onto the moulding after the cable has been placed in it.
  • the cover grips a groove in the moulding.
  • the moulding must then be so commodious that the head of an attachment screw too fits into the moulding without raising the cable above the space in the moulding.
  • the cable lies loosely and curves requirement curved pieces.
  • the attachment base for cables is formed by a moulding that it considerably wider than the cable, to which normally several cables are attached to grooves in the moulding by means of gripping clips. After installation a moulding-shaped cover is pressed onto the moulding, this being attached to a groove i a protrusion from the bottom moulding.
  • moulding glue is spread on the bottom o the moulding that comes in contact with the base.
  • the moulding which is glued to a base, closes towards its open side an broadens towards the bottom, when the edges of the mouldin press the cable against the bottom, holding it firmly in th moulding.
  • th bending tension tends in time to lift the moulding from th base. Screw attachment is not possible, because the head of th screw remains in the cable space, thus raising it in an ugl manner at such points.
  • a moulding equipped with a false bottom is known from Germa patent publication No 20,237,764, in which the false botto supports the cable above the bottom in order to create a spac for the head of a screw.
  • the space is made so great that th head of the nail or screw remains entirely within it and the false bottom insulates the cable electrically from the attach ⁇ ment member.
