Abstract
The quick fastening device fastens cable lines and absorbs vibration, especially on abutments of automobiles. The device has a retainer ring with a spring, as well as a pendulum tube and cable components. A firm component in the interior of the quick fastening device integrates components of a cable on one side, and an intake slit with a pendulum tube on the other side. The firm component is surrounded by a ductile component on which a sliding ring is arranged. The sliding ring is under a retainer ring. A spring is arranged in the interior of the retainer ring with one side against the ductile component and one the other side against the retainer ring. The retainer ring and the ductile component form a groove into which the abutment fits. The retainer ring is pulled back against the resistance of the spring, enlarging the groove, so that the abutment may fit into the groove. The retainer ring is fastened, when it is released and the force of the spring pushes the retainer ring in the direction of the abutment, so that the gap between the ductile component and the retainer ring becomes narrower.
