## Abstract

A corrugated tube clamp may includes a fixed portion capable of being connected to an attaching object, a movable portion hinged to the fixed portion, ribs respectively formed in the fixed portion and the movable portion, and at least one biasing member formed in at least one of the fixed portion and the movable portion. The fixed portion and the movable portion are shaped to clamp and hold each of corrugated tubes having different diameters therebetween. The ribs are respectively shaped to engage grooves formed in an outer circumferential surface of each of the corrugated tubes of different diameters. The at least one biasing member is shaped to be pressed back by an outer circumferential surface of at least the corrugated tube with the smallest diameter when it is clamped between the fixed portion and the movable portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A corrugated tube clamp, comprising:
a fixed portion capable of being connected to an attaching object,
a movable portion hinged to the fixed portion,
ribs respectively formed in the fixed portion and the movable portion, and
at least one biasing member formed in at least one of the fixed portion and the movable portion,
wherein the fixed portion and the movable portion are shaped to clamp and hold each of corrugated tubes of different diameters therebetween,
wherein the ribs are respectively shaped to engage grooves formed in an outer circumferential surface of each of the corrugated tubes of different diameters, and
wherein the at least one biasing member is shaped to be pressed back by an outer circumferential surface of at least the corrugated tube with the smallest diameter when it is clamped between the fixed portion and the movable portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The corrugated tube clamp as defined in claim 1, wherein the ribs are respectively shaped such that inner circumferential surfaces thereof have the substantially same curvature as bottom surfaces of the grooves formed in the corrugated tube with the largest diameter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The corrugated tube clamp as defined in claim 1, wherein the at least one biasing member comprises a single biasing member formed as a cantilevered strip that is projected inwardly beyond an inner circumferential surface of the movable portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The corrugated tube clamp as defined in claim 1, wherein the at least one biasing member comprises two biasing members formed as cantilevered strips that are respectively projected inwardly beyond an inner circumferential surface of the movable portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The corrugated tube clamp as defined in claim 1, wherein the at least one biasing member is shaped to be pressed back by an outer circumferential surface of each of the corrugated tubes of different diameters when it is clamped between the fixed portion and the movable portion.
