Abstract
A cable clamp 10 comprises a base 12 and a pressure plate 36 presenting respective opposed faces 18 and 38 for clamping a ribbon cable therebetween. A lever 28 has a bearing member 30 whose ends 42 and 44 engage sockets 24 and 34 to permit the lever 28 to pivot, and thereby move the pressure plate 36 across the base 12. In the absence of a cable, the pressure plate 36 would move with a toggle action passing through a position of reduced separation between the opposed faces 18 and 38. In the presence of a cable, however, resilient arm 20 is deflected to exert a clamping pressure on the cable. The cable clamp 10 is integrally formed of a plastics material apart from a layer of double-sided adhesive tape 16 for attaching the base 12 to a workpiece.
