Abstract

A cable mounting mechanism includes a bracket having an opening, and a cable having a perimeter groove that is mounted on the opening in such a manner that a perimeter of the opening is pinched between both sidewalls of the perimeter groove. A clip is mounted for preventing the mounted cable from being moved in a perimeter direction.

Claims (14)

1. A cable mounting mechanism comprising:

a bracket having an opening that is defined by a perimeter and an insertion hole;

a cable having a perimeter groove with sidewalls that is mounted in the opening in such a manner that said perimeter of the bracket is pinched between said sidewalls of the perimeter groove,

a clip that is rotatably mounted for movement between an open position for receiving said cable and a closed position for preventing the mounted cable from being moved in a perimeter direction; and

a shaft insertable into said insertion hole for facilitating rotation of said clip.

2. The cable mounting mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a nail that is engaged with the bracket is formed on the clip.

3. The cable mounting mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein

the clip is mounted on the bracket, and

the clip is rotatably supported by a pair of shafts so as to switch between a preventing status in which movement of the cable is prevented in both the axial and the perimeter direction and an allowing status in which the movement of the cable is allowed in the perimeter direction.

4. A cable mounting mechanism comprising:

a bracket with an opening for receiving a first cable;

a clip mountable on said bracket and operative to close said opening and secure said first cable, said clip comprising a fixed portion delined by a first gripping portion and an insertion hole and a rotating portion rotatably mounted on the fixed portion and having a second gripping portion, said first and second gripping portion being alignable to grip a second cable; and

a shaft coupled to said rotating portion and being inserted in said insertion holes

whereby the rotating portion is rotatably mounted for movement between an open position for receiving said first and second cables and a closed position, wherein the fixed portion and the rotating portion cooperatively grip the second cable.
