Abstract

A clamp for corrugated tubes capable of holding a corrugated tube, whether a corrugated tube of large diameter or a corrugated tube of small diameter, with adequate holding force. The clamp comprises a main fastener body, a body attachment part for attaching the main fastener body to a body panel, and a fastener cover that turns about a hinge of the main fastener body and presses and holds a corrugated tube to the main fastener body, which fastener cover comprises a small corrugated tube fastener cover for pressing against a corrugated tube of small diameter, and large corrugated tube fastener covers for pressing against a corrugated tube of large diameter, which small corrugated tube fastener cover and large corrugated tube fastener covers are arranged so as to be aligned in the axial direction of the corrugated tube being pressed against and held, and which, respectively, are coupled by the hinge to the main fastener body so that, with the main fastener body, they can separately press and hold a corrugated tube on the main fastener body.

A clamp for corrugated tubes, for attaching a corrugated tube to a body panel, comprising:

a main fastener body for mounting and holding a corrugated tube;
a body attachment part, integrally coupled to said main fastener body for attaching said main fastener body to a body panel;
and a fastener cover, coupled by a hinge to said main fastener body and capable of rotating so as to close the main fastener body, for pressing a corrugated tube mounted in the main fastener body against the main fastener body when the main fastener body is in the closed state, and cooperating with the main fastener body to hold the corrugated tube;
wherein:
said fastener cover comprises a small corrugated tube fastener cover for pressing against a corrugated tube of small diameter, and a large corrugated tube fastener cover for pressing against a corrugated tube of large diameter;
which small corrugated tube fastener cover and large corrugated tube fastener cover are disposed so as to be aligned in the axial direction of a corrugated tube being pressed and held in the main fastener body, each of which is coupled to said main fastener body by said hinge so as to be capable of separately pressing against and holding the corrugated tube on the main fastener body.
