Cable clamp

Abstract

The invention relates to a single-part cable clamp with a base () which is fixed to a carrier part, a bearing surface formed on said base () for a cable or bundle of cables which are to be fixed and a cable cover () which is joined to the base () by means of a flexible strip (), said cable cover encompassing the cable or bundle of cables and being able to be engaged with the base (), said base () being U-shaped. The insides of the U-shaped limbs () of the base are provided with transversally extending ribs () as known per se. A clamp cover () is joined to the upper edge of one U-shaped limb () by means of a flexible strip (). Said cover can be inserted between the U-shaped limbs () and an adjustable fixed control element (), preferably in the form of a screw head is formed thereon and can be placed in two positions. In one position thereof, the fixed control element () engages with the ribs () of the U-shaped limbs (). In another position, said control element is disengaged therefrom. The cable clamp automatically adapts to different diameters of cable and maintains the cable in a safe and stationary manner. Said cable clamp is easy to use and can be disengaged in an especially simple manner with the aid of a suitable tool, preferably a screwdriver, if a cable needs to be dismantled without causing damage thereto, whereby said cable clamp can be reused.
