Abstract
A device for installing cable trunking on a motor vehicle body pillar includes cable staples provided on the pillar, which enable cables to be maintained in guidance and a trunking to be snap fitted. Complementary clips engaging with the staples are provided on the trunking. The trunking also includes a transverse bearing raised portion that, at the time of snap fitting, bears against a transverse bearing surface formed by the top of one of the cable staples to lock the trunking in a longitudinal direction when the trunking is snap fitted.
Claims20
A device for assembling cable trunking on a motor vehicle body component, comprising:
- at least one cable clip configured to be positioned on the body component, the at least one cable clip including means for retaining a cable in a guided manner and means for clip-fitting the trunking,
- at least one transverse support surface which is positioned and fixed on the body component to form a topological reference location,
- a cable trunking, the trunking including clip-fitting means which cooperate with the means for clip-fitting to fix the trunking to the at least one cable clip, the clip-fitting means and the means for clip-fitting fix the position of the trunking in directions transverse to the trunking, the trunking further comprising a transverse support relief which, when the trunking is fixed to the at least one cable clip, is supported on the transverse support surface to block the trunking in a longitudinal direction of the trunking,
- wherein the support relief is a transverse rib which is provided in the trunking.
