Abstract

The technology is a securing device for electrical wiring and other mechanical components to the frame or other wire bundles without the use of metallic hardware.

Claims (13)

1. A device for securing aircraft wiring, the device comprising:

a first body having:

a first end;

a second end opposite the first end;

a concave portion extending semi-annularly between the first end and the second end, the concave portion configured to at least partially define a wire-receiving channel;

a first side adjacent the first end, the first side facing away from the wire-receiving space; and

a second side adjacent the second end, the second side opposite the first side and facing away from the wire-receiving channel;

a first channel on the first side of the first body, the first channel extending perpendicular to the wire-receiving channel; and

a first rail on the second side of the first body, the first rail configured to slide into the first channel, the first rail extending perpendicular to the wire-receiving channel.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first channel has a base surface, the first rail has a notch, and the device further comprises an elastically depressable ramp with a lip, the ramp, lip, and notch configured such that as a result of sliding a rail identical to the first rail into the first channel, the rail identical to the first rail slides against the ramp to depress the lip and then the lip snaps into a notch of the rail identical to the first rail.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the base surface of the first channel includes a recess configured to receive the lip and ramp, the recess extending from the ramp to an end of the channel to receive a disassembly tool.

4. The device according to claim 3 , further comprising a disassembly tool including a rigid, straight portion configured to extend into the recess to push against the ramp and depress the lip.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein an end surface at a first end of the rigid, straight portion is angled obliquely with respect to the rigid, straight portion.
