Abstract
Apparatus for removably attaching a cable to a point on another piece of apparatus. The apparatus consists of means such as a jack for attaching an end of the cable to the piece of apparatus and a clip at another point on the piece of apparatus which may be employed at the option of the user of the piece of apparatus to retain an intermediate point of the cable. The cable may be inserted in and removed from the clip without use of tools. The attaching apparatus is employed in devices such as keyboards for the cables which attach the keyboard to the rest of the system and auxiliary input devices to the keyboard. In a preferred embodiment, the clip consists of a short channel in the case of the keyboard which will accept a number of cables having different sizes and a flexible snap which retains the cables in the channel.
