Cable fastener assembly and method of manufacture

A plastic retaining means for a brake cable adapted to pass through a hole in a workpiece wherein an annular cable housing sheath member surroundingly disposed to cable wire means for relative movement therebetween is mounted to said workpiece, said retaining means including a hollow stud portion insert molded in a hollow head portion to form an integral unit, said stud portion including a substantially cylindrical body with a pass-through bore, protuberance means extending into said bore adjacent one end thereof, at least three resilient leg elements extending axially and outwardly from adjacent the opposite end of said body, shoulder means at the free end of said leg elements, said head portion including a cylindrical section which blends into an enlarged diameter radially extending flange at one end thereof which is greater than the diameter of said hole, reinforcing means extending between said cylindrical section and said flange, a first diameter bore communicating with said other end of said cylindrical section capable of accepting said sheath member and extending throughout a substantial portion of said cylindrical section, a second bore of lesser diameter generally equal to said cable wire means extending coaxially with said first bore through the balance of said head portion, the juncture of said two bores forming a shoulder means, an extension tube means surrounding said second bore and molded within the bore of said stud portion pass-through bore and intimately engaging said protuberance means and the exterior of said cylindrical body at said one end thereof to form a one-piece retaining means.
