Abstract
Disclosed is a device for holding a linear article on a support body, consisting of a pair of plastic counterparts each comprising a base, an article holding means integrally provided on the upper surface of the base, a notched rod integrally provided on the upper surface of the base and extending outward from one front corner of the base, a guide channel having a catch projection therein and extending inward from the other front corner of the base, and an engaging leg integrally provided on the undersurface of the base. In use a pair of plastic counterparts are engaged with each other by inserting the notched rod of each counterpart into the guide channel of the other counterparts, and the counterparts thus engaged are placed across the width of a support plate with the legs of the counterparts abutting the opposite edges of the support plate. The combined counterparts may also be placed across an opening of a support plate with the legs in the opening, with the holding device being fixed to the support by bringing the counterparts closer to each other in the former instance until their legs have engaged the opposite edges of the width or away from each other in the latter instance so the legs engage opposite edges of the opening, thus fixing the holder to the support firmly irrespective of the width of the support or the size of the hole therein.
