A cable mount 10 defines an aperture for receiving an electrical or fluid conduit, and has upstanding ribs 15 which define a circular track 14 for a cable tie. The ribs also define flat mounting planes to prevent rotation of the mount with respect to a substrate. An additional attachment member ( 41 - 46 ) is positioned to allow adaptation of a mold to different kinds of attachment member.
1. A conduit attachment comprising a ring member adapted to be placed over a conduit, said ring member having a through axis and a circumferential radially external surface, said surface having axially spaced shoulders thereon to define an arcuate track in a circumference direction, said track being adapted to receive a cable tie,
wherein each shoulder comprises a plurality of equispaced shoulder portions,
wherein each end of each shoulder portion is flattened tangentially with respect to an external surface of the ring member and wherein at least two circumferentially adjacent ends of adjacent shoulder portions are co-planar,
wherein the flattened ends of the shoulder portions include regions that are substantially flush with an outer surface of the arcuate track, thereby minimizing maximum dimensions of the conduit attachment.
2. An attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said track is substantially circular.
3. An attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said shoulders are discontinuous.
4. An attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said ring member is split to allow opening and closing thereof.
5. An attachment according to claim 4 , wherein said ring member comprises semi-circular ring portions.
6. An attachment according to claim 5 , wherein said ring portions are connected.
7. An attachment according to claim 6 , wherein said ring portions are connected by a living hinge.
8. An attachment according to claim 1 , and further including a restraining portion for engagement with a mounting substrate.
9. An attachment according to claim 8 , wherein said restraining portion comprises an aperture.
10. An attachment according to claim 8 , wherein said restraining portion comprises a snap-fitting projection for engaging the mounting substrate.
11. An attachment according to claim 9 , wherein said track extends between said restraining portion and said ring member.
12. An attachment according to claim 1 , wherein each shoulder comprises four equispaced shoulder portions defining four equispaced flat planes, wherein each of the four equispaced flat planes are tangential with respect to the external surface of the ring member.
13. An attachment according to claim 10 , wherein said track extends between said restraining portion and said ring member.
14. An attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said axially spaced shoulders comprise a first shoulder having a first plurality of equispaced shoulder portions and a second shoulder having a second plurality of equispaced shoulder portions,
wherein the flattened ends of the first plurality of equispaced shoulder portions are co-planar in an axial direction with corresponding flattened ends of the second plurality of equispaced shoulder portions.
15. A conduit attachment comprising:
a ring member adapted to be placed over a conduit, said ring member having a through axis and a circumferential radially external surface, said surface having axially spaced shoulders thereon to define an arcuate track in a circumference direction, said track being adapted to receive a cable tie,
wherein each shoulder comprises a plurality of shoulder portions,
wherein at least one end of each shoulder portion is flattened tangentially with respect to an external surface of the ring member and wherein at least two of the circumferentially adjacent ends of adjacent shoulder portions are co-planar,
wherein the flattened ends of the shoulder portions include regions that are substantially flush with an outer surface of the arcuate track, thereby minimizing maximum dimensions of the conduit attachment,
wherein said ring member is split to allow opening and closing thereof, and
wherein said ring member includes a latch engageable in a closed condition thereof.
16. An attachment according to claim 15 , wherein said latch is releasable.
