The device (1) further incorporates rod engagement means (4, 5) wherein the rod is received by the engagement means (4, 5) in a first position and following relative rotation of the device (1) with respect to the rod, the rod is gripped by the engagement means (4, 5) in a second position.
Claims5
A single-piece rod-engaging plastic support device for supporting a fitting and having a body comprising rod engagement means for receiving a rod in a first position and, following relative rotation of the device with respect to the rod, gripping the rod by the engagement means in a second position, and wherein the rod engagement means comprises a pair of spaced-apart partial cylinders having an interconnecting portion with rod engaging friction means, a common axis, and C-shaped cross-sections with oppositely directed openings, the C-shaped cross-sections having an internal diameter which is greater than the oppositely directed openings;
- the device integrally comprising a separate fitting in cable clip form having an upper and lower portion and which has an axis perpendicular to that of the spaced-apart partial cylinders and parallel to a plane bisecting the oppositely directed openings;
- the interconnecting portion being integral with the lower portion of said separate fitting.
