Cable fixing member and cable fixing structure

A member for fixing a cable, the member comprising:

• a first bracket member having a first clamping surface, a first groove provided along the clamping surface, and a first fitting portion having a first concave surface and a first convex surface;
• and
• a second bracket member having a second clamping surface, a second groove provided along the clamping surface, and a second fitting portion having a second concave surface and a second convex surface;
• wherein the first and second bracket members are selectively engageable and disengageable with each other by rotation at the first and second fitting portions, the first concave surface adjacent the second convex surface and the first convex surface adjacent the second concave surface thereby permitting pivoting of one of the first or second bracket member with respect to the other of the first or second bracket member between an open position and a clamped position,
• wherein the first and second clamping surfaces are pressed together in the clamped position, and the first groove and the second groove are correspondingly opposed to each other in the clamped position thereby defining a clamping hole for holding the cable in the clamped position,
• wherein sizes of the first and second concave surfaces and the first and second convex surfaces are set to sizes in which when the first and the second bracket members are rotated from a state in which the first and second clamping surfaces open to a state in which the first and second clamping surfaces are clamped, the first and second convex surfaces are changeable from a state of having the second convex surface contacting the first concave surface to a state of having the first convex surface contacting the second concave surface, and
• in which when the first and second bracket members are rotated from the state in which the first and the second clamping surfaces are clamped to the state in which the first and second clamping surfaces are open, the first and second convex surfaces are changeable from the state of having the first convex surface contacting the second concave surface to the state of having the second convex surface contacting the first concave surface.

A cable fixing member, comprising:

• a pair of bracket members that have first and second bracket members disposed face to face with each other and hold a cable by facing surfaces of first and second bracket members;
• and
• a fitting part with which the pair of bracket members are selectively engageable and disengageable with each other by rotation,
• wherein the fitting part comprises:
• a concave portion having an arc-shaped cross sectional face formed in the first bracket member of the pair of bracket members;
• a convex portion formed in the second bracket member of the pair of bracket members and having an arc-shaped cross sectional face with which the concave portion is engaged,
• wherein the pair of bracket members are selectively engageable and disengageable with each other by rotation with the fitting part as a rotation center, so that the facing surfaces of the pair of bracket members that hold the cable are opened and closed, and
• wherein when the facing surfaces of the pair of bracket members are closed the convex portion is fitted into the concave portion and when the facing surfaces of the pair of bracket members are opened the convex portion is removed from the concave portion, while a second convex surface on a side of the concave portion and a second concave portion adjacent to the convex portion are kept in contact with each other.
