A mounting system, a clamp and method for mounting to a structural component. The mounting system includes a bracket with a mounting projection, the mounting projection has a mounting opening which extends between side walls of the mounting projection. A clamp has a mounting portion and a clamping portion, the mounting portion has a projection receiving opening which receives the mounting projection therein. A latching mechanism extends from the clamping portion, the latching mechanism has a securing which is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position.

Self-locking mounting system

Clamping device includes a clamp frame that is configured to move between an open configuration, in which the clamp frame is configured to receive at least one longitudinal element, and a closed configuration, in which the clamp frame wraps around and holds the at least one longitudinal element. The clamp frame includes a coupling end having an inner surface and a coupling base having an outer surface. The inner and outer surfaces have profiles that form a locked engagement to hold the clamp frame in the closed configuration. The clamping device also includes a secondary locking mechanism that secures the coupling end and the coupling base to each other. The secondary locking mechanism is activated after the clamp frame is held in the closed configuration by the locked engagement.

Clamping device configured to hold one or more longitudinal elements

A cable tie includes a belt, a head connected to the belt and having a passageway for receiving the belt, and a lock disposed in the head. The lock is displaceable parallel to a plane of the passageway along a stroke and has a protrusion configured to lock the belt.

Cable tie

A mounting assembly for mounting a cable on an electrically conductive structure comprises a mounting bracket and a cover mounted on the mounting bracket and movable with respect to the mounting bracket between a bracket mounting position and a cable mounting position. The mounting bracket has a mounting element receptacle and a cable holding device receptacle. The mounting element receptacle receives a mounting element that attaches the mounting bracket to the electrically conductive structure. The cable holding device receptacle receives a cable holding device that holds the cable. The mounting element receptacle is accessible from a cover side of the mounting bracket and the cable holding device receptacle is covered by the cover in the bracket mounting position. The mounting element receptacle is covered by the cover and the cable holding device receptacle is accessible from the cover side of the mounting bracket in the cable mounting position.

Mounting assembly and kit for a mounting assembly

A cable tie system has a cable tie member and a cable retaining member. The cable tie member has a base with an inner facing surface and an outer facing surface, a pair of cable tie strips connected to the base and projecting outward from the inner facing surface, and a locking member connected to the base and projecting outward from outer facing surface. The cable retaining member has a retainer housing with a top surface, a bottom surface, a pair of tie strip receiving passageways complimentary to the cable tie strips, a resilient tie strip engaging arm positioned in each tie strip receiving passageway and in releasable contact with one of the cable tie strips when the cable tie strips are positioned in the tie strip receiving passageways, and a release member connected to an end of each resilient tie strip engaging arm.

Cable tie and retention system

The invention relates to a conductive connection assembly (), a method for manufacturing the same and a kit for a body () comprising carbon fibre-reinforced material, e.g. for a vehicle comprising a carbon fibre-reinforced body (), with an electrical structural network for conducting electric discharges. The conductive connection assembly () includes a conductive interconnection element () with a conductive braid material (B). Furthermore, a kit is provided, the kit including at least two conductive connection assemblies () that are provided with differently shaped interconnection elements (). Finally, a method that comprises the step of reshaping longitudinal ends () of a braid material (B) is provided according to the invention.
