Holder for elongate articles, in particular for Bowden cables on a bicycle, which can be placed onto a T-bolt which projects relative to a component and on which it is secured both axially and radially against escape by means of an escape preventing means, and which has at least one elongate recess for receiving an article, in which the holder has a flap which is articulated longitudinally laterally and, for holding the article by means of the recess and the escape preventing means is pivoted and is held on the holder by means of a releasably catching mechanism. The holder is preferably formed from plastics material in one piece with the flap, and the flap is articulated by means of a film hinge.

Holder for elongate articles

The combination of a metal stud having a projecting head for welding to a receptor surface and a resilient clip for mounting on said stud and retained by said projecting head is characterized in that the underside of said head has a tapered shoulder which reduces progressively to the diameter of said stud, in that said clip has a retaining hole of which the internal diameter increases correspondingly from a diameter equal to that of the stud whereby it engages the tapered shoulder under said head when the clip is applied to the stud and in that said clip is provided with at least two retaining members which contact said receptor surface to urge the clip into close engagement with the tapered shoulder under the head of the stud. The clip is easily mounted on the stud by direct pressure and provides a more positive location of the clip on the stud.
