Abstract

A clamp support for holding and guiding a cable loom has a basic element and a wedge, which can be shifted relative to the basic unit to clamp the basic unit to a structural component. While clamping the basic unit with the structural component, the wedge is arranged in a position between the basic unit and structural component to reflect the width of the transverse carrier.

Claims (22)

1. A clamp adapted to be clamped to a structural component, said clamp comprising:

a basic unit;

a projection having a first projection surface, said projection extending essentially perpendicularly to said basic unit;

a web having a first web surface, said web extending from said basic unit such that said first projection surface generally faces said first web surface;

a pin extending from said first projection surface; and,

a wedge;

wherein said clamp may be placed against a structural component such that said pin enters an installation hole in said structural component, said first projection surface abuts said structural component, and said wedge fits between said structural component and said first web surface to secure said clamp to said structural component.

2. The clamp of claim 1 , wherein said wedge fits between said structural component and said first web surface in a friction fit.

3. The clamp of claim 1 , further comprising a cable guide associated with said basic unit, said cable guide adapted to support cables.

4. The clamp of claim 1 , wherein said first web surface is inclined from said first projection surface.

5. The clamp of claim 1 , wherein said basic unit and wedge are secured together by a joining element to prevent the wedge from, moving relative to the basic unit.

6. A clamp adapted to clamp to an eyelet of a transverse carrier, said clamp comprising:

a basic unit;

a projection having a first projection surface, said projection extending essentially perpendicularly to said basic unit;

a web having a first web surface, said web extending from said basic unit such that said first projection surface is at an angle to said first web surface;

a pin extending from said first projection surface; and,

a wedge having a front and a back, said front configured to generally face said first projection surface and said back configured generally at said angle to said front such that said back generally faces said first web surface;

wherein said clamp has a first condition in which said clamp may be placed within said eyelet of said transverse carrier such that said pin enters an installation hole in said transverse carrier, said first projection surface abuts said transverse carrier, and said wedge fits with its front against said transverse carrier and its back against said first web surface, and a second condition in which said wedge is shifted relative to said web to secure said clamp to said transverse carrier.

7. The clamp of claim 6 , further comprising a cable guide associated with said basic unit, said cable guide adapted to support cables.

8. The clamp of claim 6 , wherein said basic unit and wedge are secured together by a joining element to prevent the wedge from moving relative to the basic unit.

9. The clamp of claim 8 , wherein said joining element is a cable binder.

10. The clamp of claim 9 , wherein said clamp may be clamped to transverse carriers of varying width.
