D-shaped wire harness clip with ratchet lock

A wire harness clip adapted to secure a generally D-shaped wire harness to a panel, comprising:

• a mounting arm having a semi-circular, upwardly-opening trough at one end and a panel-engaging mounting means at an opposite end, the trough and mounting means being located on an upper side of the mounting arm;
• a substantially flat hinged cover on the trough adapted to be moved between an open position away from the trough and a closed position on the trough in which the cover closes the trough and defines a substantially planar surface spaced from and generally parallel to the mounting arm;
• wherein the trough is aligned on the end of the mounting arm so as to define a wire harness axis generally perpendicular to the mounting arm and wherein the trough further includes at least one tape positioning tab extending from the trough in alignment with the wire harness axis, the tape positioning tab being adapted to engage a portion of a wire harness inserted in the trough and to be taped to the wire harness.

A wire harness clip adapted to secure a generally D-shaped wire harness to a panel, comprising:

• an elongate, substantially planar mounting arm having a first end, a second end, an upper side, and a lower side, a D-shaped trough at the first end of the mounting arm, and a panel-engaging mounting means spaced from and located at the second end of the mounting arm, the trough and mounting means both being located on and extending upwardly from the upper side of the mounting arm;
• the trough comprising a substantially semi-circular open faced body and a hinged, flat cover moveable between an open position in which the trough body is open, and a closed position in which the cover closes the trough body and defines a substantially planar surface spaced from and generally parallel to the mounting arm, wherein the mounting means comprises a Christmas tree type clip.
