Abstract
A one piece, plastic, flat cable clamp has a base, a pair of end walls on the base and a cover hinged on one of the end walls to fold over and extend across the base in a latched closed position to retain a plurality of flat cables between the cover and base. The cable clamp is stackable on an identical cable clamp, the base of the upper cable clamp being positioned on the cover of the lower cable clamp and being retained thereon when its cover is in the latched closed position.
Claims4
A one piece, plastic, stackable, flat cable clamp comprising:
- a flat base,
- a pair of end walls extending from opposite ends of said base in the same direction from and perpendicular to said base,
- a cover hinged on a first of said end walls to fold over and extend across said base in its closed position, and
- resiliently deformable means in the space between said base and the furthest spaced portion of said cover in its closed position, said means being resiliently deformable by a plurality of flat cables between said base and said cover;
- said cover and the second of said end walls being complementarily formed with means for latching said cover in its closed position over said base to retain flat cables between said base and said cover,
- a portion of said second end wall extending further from said base than said cover in its closed position, and
- said base, said cover and said extended portion of said second end wall being complementarily formed with means for retaining a second identical flat cable clamp with its base on the cover of the first cable clamp in its closed position.
