The circumferentially external surface has a circumferentially smooth envelope. Each side wall of the ring member is provided with a clamping device that cooperates with an attachment member. The circumferential radially internal surface has at least one upstanding projection configured to engage a groove in the conduit sheath when placed around it. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A conduit clip for use in a conduit clip arrangement together with a conduit, the conduit clip comprising: a ring member configured to be placed around the conduit, the ring member having a through axis, a circumferential radially internal surface, and a circumferential radially external surface, the ring member comprising semi-circular ring portions connected by a living hinge, wherein the circumferentially external surface has a circumferentially smooth envelope, wherein each side wall of the ring member is provided with a clamping device configured to cooperate with an attachment member, wherein the circumferential radially internal surface has at least one upstanding projection configured to engage a groove in the conduit sheath when placed around it, and wherein the ring member has at least one groove embossed in its circumferentially extending surface and extending lengthwise in a circumferential direction. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The conduit clip according to claim 1, wherein the projection is shaped as a circular rib. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The conduit clip according to claim 1, wherein the ring member includes a latch engageable in a closed condition thereof. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The conduit clip according to claim 3, wherein the latch is releasable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The conduit clip according to claim 1, wherein the ring member has a number of grooves embossed in its circumferentially extending surface and that extend lengthwise in a circumferential direction, and wherein the grooves are matching in number and position with the upstanding projections at the circumferential radially internal surface. ### Claim 6 A conduit clip for use in a conduit clip arrangement together with a conduit, the conduit clip comprising: a ring member configured to be placed around the conduit, the ring member having a through axis, a circumferential radially internal surface, and a circumferential radially external surface, the ring member comprising semi-circular ring portions connected by a living hinge, wherein the circumferentially external surface has a circumferentially smooth envelope, wherein each side wall of the ring member is provided with a clamping device configured to cooperate with an attachment member, wherein the circumferential radially internal surface has at least one upstanding projection configured to engage a groove in the conduit sheath when placed around it, and wherein the ring member has at least one flattening embossed in a center portion of a segment of its circumferentially extending surface, such that the edge portions in the segment remain unaffected and form circularly shaped edge portions of the flattening. ### Claim 7 A conduit clip arrangement, comprising: a conduit having a generally cylindrical shape with a through axis and a grooved outer form, a grooved armoured sheath of the conduit having a circumferential radially external surface with a number of axially adjacent circular corrugations and being lengthwise split parallel to the through axis; a conduit clip for use in a conduit clip arrangement together with a conduit, the conduit clip comprising: a ring member configured to be placed around the conduit, the ring member having a through axis, a circumferential radially internal surface, and a circumferential radially external surface, the ring member comprising semi-circular ring portions connected by a living hinge, wherein the circumferentially external surface has a circumferentially smooth envelope, wherein each side wall of the ring member is provided with a clamping device configured to cooperate with an attachment member, and wherein the circumferential radially internal surface has at least one upstanding projection configured to engage a groove in the conduit sheath when placed around it; and an attachment member, the attachment member and the ring member being arranged to clamp together; wherein the clamping device comprises a circumferential groove and the attachment member has a mounting section which provides abutments configured to engage in the circumferential groove to clamp the attachment member to the ring member. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The conduit clip arrangement according to claim 7, wherein the attachment member has a fixing section providing a fixture element configured to attach the attachment member at a mounting location. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The conduit clip arrangement according to claim 8, wherein the fixture element comprises a fir tree type fixture, an arrow head type fixture, a p-clip type fixture having a hole, or a stud mount type fixture. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The conduit clip according to claim 6, wherein the projection is shaped as a circular rib. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The conduit clip according to claim 6, wherein the ring member includes a latch engageable in a closed condition thereof. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The conduit clip according to claim 11, wherein the latch is releasable. ### Claim 13 (depends on 6) The conduit clip according to claim 6, wherein the ring member has a number of grooves embossed in its circumferentially extending surface and that extend lengthwise in a circumferential direction, and wherein the grooves are matching in number and position with the upstanding projections at the circumferential radially internal surface. ### Claim 14 (depends on 7) The conduit clip arrangement according to claim 7, wherein the projection is shaped as a circular rib. ### Claim 15 (depends on 7) The conduit clip arrangement according to claim 7, wherein the ring member includes a latch engageable in a closed condition thereof. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The conduit clip arrangement according to claim 11, wherein the latch is releasable. ### Claim 17 (depends on 7) The conduit clip arrangement according to claim 7, wherein the ring member has a number of grooves embossed in its circumferentially extending surface and that extend lengthwise in a circumferential direction, and wherein the grooves are matching in number and position with the upstanding projections at the circumferential radially internal surface.
