Abstract
A cable mounting construction comprising a bracket having a slot therein which has an open end, a closed end and sides, and a retainer assembly adapted to be snapped into position in the slot. The retainer assembly includes a one-piece generally tubular body having spaced flanges defining an annular groove. A snap spring includes a generally arcuate cylindrical portion and is snapped into the annular groove engaging the base of the groove. The snap ring includes free ends formed into tabs that extend generally radially such that when the retainer assembly is positioned in the slot the tabs flex and snap into recesses in the opposed sides of the slot. The retainer has an axial opening through which a cable may extend.
