Fixing device for cables

1. A fixing device for cables with at least an edge clip part for mounting said fixing device on an edge of a base part, wherein said edge clip part includes a plug-on gap into which an edge is introduced when plugging said edge clip part onto said edge, wherein at least one protective tab is provided, said protective tab being articulated to a boundary wall of said plug-on gap and extending towards an opposed boundary wall of said plug-on gap, a recess for said protective tab being provided on an opposed boundary wall of said plug-on gap, into which a tip of said protective tab partly engages in an unloaded condition of said edge clip part.

2. The fixing device of claim 1 wherein at least two of said protective tabs are provided.

3. The fixing device of claim 1 wherein one each of said protective tabs is arranged at each of said ends of said plug-on gap.

4. The fixing device of claim 2 wherein a first protective tab is arranged on one of said boundary walls of said plug-on gap and that a second protective tab is arranged on an opposed of said boundary walls of said plug-on gap.

5. The fixing device of claim 1 wherein a metal part is inserted into said edge clip part, said a metal part reinforcing said edge clip part.

6. The fixing device of claim 5 wherein said metal part is a bendable clip or a spring sheet which partly constricts said plug-on gap of said edge clip part when said edge is not inserted into said edge clip part.

7. The fixing device of claim 6 wherein said metal part includes at least one holding tongue which protrudes into said plug-on gap and rests against said edge when said fixing device is mounted.

8. The fixing device of claim 7 wherein said protective tab and said holding tongue do not lie one above the other after mounting said edge clip part onto said edge.

9. The fixing device of claim 1 wherein said protective tab is at least partly bent towards said plug-on gap.

10. A fixing device for cables comprising:

an edge clip part configured to mount the fixing device on an edge of a base part, the edge clip part including a plug-on gap into which the edge of the base part is inserted when the fixing device is mounted, the plug-on gap including substantially parallel first and second boundary walls;

a protective tab articulatably extending from the first boundary wall, the protective tab extending transverse to the first and second boundary walls and toward the second boundary wall;

a recess on the second boundary wall, a tip of the protective tab engaging the secondary boundary wall in the recess when the edge clip part is in an unloaded condition; and

fixing wings configured to fix the cables to the fixing device, the fixing wings extending away from the plug-on gap.

11. The fixing device of claim 10 , further including a metal part for reinforcing the edge clip part inserted into the edge clip part.

12. The fixing device of claim 11 , wherein the metal part is a spring sheet that partly obstructs the plug-on gap of the edge clip part when the plug-on gap is free from the edge of the base part.

13. The fixing device of claim 12 , wherein the metal part includes a holding tongue that protrudes into the plug-on gap and rests against the edge of the base part when the edge of the base part is inserted into the plug-on gap.

14. The fixing device of claim 13 , wherein the protective tab is offset from the holding tongue when the edge of the base part is inserted into the plug-on gap.

15. The fixing device of claim 10 , wherein the protective tab is at least partly bent toward the plug-on gap.
