Bracket and bracket assembly

1. A bracket having at least a body comprising:

a first end configured to be fastened to a support,

a second end opposite to the first end,

an intermediate portion arranged between the first end and the second end,

the second end being bent so as to form a recess oriented toward the first end and facing the intermediate portion,

wherein the bracket further comprises an elastic insert arranged in the recess of the second end;

wherein the elastic insert comprises a first portion forming a housing configured to house a part of the second end of the bracket and at least one second portion opposite to the first portion, the second portion being curved forming a securing gap;

wherein the second portion of the elastic insert comprises a first straight branch and a second straight branch arranged opposite to the first straight branch, the first straight branch and the second straight branch being arranged to frame a curve securing gap formed by the second portion of the elastic insert;

wherein the first straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is arranged so as to be in contact with a part of the intermediate portion of the bracket's body and the second straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is extending parallel relative to the intermediate portion of the bracket's body;

wherein the second straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is arranged under the second end of the bracket's body, and is longer than the second end of the bracket's body and protrudes from said second end of the bracket's body; and

wherein the second straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is longer than the first straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert.

2. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the second end comprises at least one retaining opening cooperating with a retaining tab arranged on the elastic insert.

3. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the second end comprises a positioning opening configured to define a bending position for final closing of the bracket.

4. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises at least one additional hole configured to cooperate with a pin or a mechanical device arranged in a forming tool.

5. The bracket assembly comprising a bracket according to claim 1 , and at least one tubing element.

6. The bracket assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the tubing element is housed in the securing gap of the bracket.

7. A Manufacturing process for making a bracket assembly including a bracket and a tubing element, wherein said process comprising at least the following steps:

a. obtaining the bracket according to claim 1 ,

b. placing the bracket within a forming tool,

c. placing a tubing element within the bracket, in the securing gap arranged in the elastic insert, and

d. actuating the forming tool for plastically deforming the bracket by linear or rotational movement to close a bent of the second end of the bracket around the tubing element and to grip the tubing element, the elastic insert being simultaneously bent with the second end of the bracket's body in order to surround the tubing element until the second branch bent is extending substantially in a perpendicular manner relative to the intermediate portion and/or to the first branch of the second portion of the elastic insert.

8. The manufacturing process according to claim 7 , wherein closing of the bent of the second end of the bracket's body, leads to bending of a portion of the elastic insert and a second straight branch of the portion of the elastic insert, so that the portion of the elastic insert surrounds the tubing element.

9. The manufacturing process according to claim 7 , wherein the step (a) comprises sub-steps consisting of:

pre-bend the second end of the body of the bracket, and

pre-assemble the elastic insert on the body of the bracket, by inserting the retaining tab of the elastic insert in the retaining opening of the second end of the bracket's body.

10. A bracket having at least a body comprising:

a first end configured to be fastened to a support,

a second end opposite to the first end,

an intermediate portion arranged between the first end and the second end,

the second end being bent so as to form a recess oriented toward the first end and facing the intermediate portion,

wherein the bracket further comprises an elastic insert arranged in the recess of the second end;

wherein the elastic insert comprises a first portion forming a housing configured to house a part of the second end of the bracket and at least one second portion opposite to the first portion, the second portion being curved forming a securing gap;

wherein the second portion of the elastic insert comprises a first straight branch and a second straight branch arranged opposite to the first straight branch, the first straight branch and the second straight branch being arranged to frame a curve securing gap formed by the second portion of the elastic insert;

wherein the first straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is arranged so as to be in contact with a part of the intermediate portion of the bracket's body and the second straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is arranged relative to the intermediate portion of the bracket's body in order to form an angle which allows the introduction of a tubing element;

wherein the second straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is arranged under the second end of the bracket's body, is longer than the second end of the bracket's body and protrudes from said second end of the bracket's body; and

wherein the second straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert is longer than the first straight branch of the second portion of the elastic insert.
