Abstract
A holding element 1 is formed of plastic with a basic body 2 and an adjoining resilient stop 3. There are formed onto the basic body several resilient detents 4, 4'; 5, 5', located in diagonally oppositely disposed pairs with front engagement surfaces 6, 6'; 7, 7' facing the resilient stop 3. The basic body is rectangular in cross section and exhibits an open interior S. Moreover, all four side surfaces are equipped with at least one of the resilient detents 4, 4'; 5, 5'. At least two of the diagonally opposite detents respectively have a T-shape, and the transverse cross-piece 9 on the T-shape carries the front engagement surface. The vertical cross-piece 10 of the T-shape is arranged between two recesses 11, 12 located in the plane of the side surfaces of the basic body 2. Each detent 4, 4'; 5, 5' is surrounded by perforations 13 extending to the free interior space 8 in the basic body 2.
