Abstract

A fastening part for fastening a cable carrier to a component, said fastening part comprising: a foot web which can be arranged on a component so as to extend in the peripheral direction thereof and has holding means in its end regions for a first fastening element for fastening the fastening part to the component; and a fastening web which extends in the direction of the foot web and which has multiple fastening means for fastening a differently designed second fastening element for fastening a cable carrier to the fastening part; wherein the foot web and the fastening web are connected to one another in their central region via a connecting element, and side regions of the fastening web extending beyond the connecting element have at least some of the fastening means as first fastening means.

Claims (20)

1. A fastening part for fastening an energy guide to a component, the fastening part comprising:

a foot web in a form of a flexurally elastic web which extends in a longitudinal direction and, due to its flexural elasticity, is adaptable to a cross-section of the component in a region of fastening, and which in its end regions has holding means for a first fastening element in strand or band form for fastening the fastening part to the component, and the fastening part has a fastening web which extends in the direction of the foot web and has a plurality of fastening means for fastening a second fastening element of different configuration for fastening an energy guide to the fastening part,

wherein the foot web and the fastening web are connected together in their central region by way of a connecting element, wherein the fastening web, the connecting element and the foot web are in a form of a double-T-shaped one-piece part in a form of injection molded plastic so that side regions of the fastening web, that extend beyond the connecting element in the longitudinal direction of the foot web, are arranged at a spacing relative to the foot web, and

wherein the side regions have at least some of the fastening means as first fastening means.

2. The fastening part as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is of such a configuration that it permits a relative rotary movement between the foot web and the fastening web.

3. The fastening part as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first fastening means are of such an arrangement and configuration that they permit the fastening of second fastening elements of differing extents along the side regions of the fastening web.

4. The fastening part as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the first fastening means have openings for the engagement in particular of self-tapping screws, wherein the openings are arranged spaced in the longitudinal direction of the fastening web.

5. The fastening part as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the regions of the free ends of the side regions of the fastening web have constrictions for anchoring an annular elastic strand or band passed around the energy guide.

6. The fastening part as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the central region of the fastening web to which the connecting element is formed has second fastening means.

7. The fastening part as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the second fastening means have openings for the engagement in particular of self-tapping screws, which are arranged spaced in the transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the fastening web.

8. The fastening part as set forth in claim 7 , wherein in the case of an integral connection of the foot web to the fastening web the connecting element at its sides arranged transversely relative to the longitudinal direction of the foot web has recesses, in the opposite regions of which the openings of the second fastening means are arranged.

9. The fastening part as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the holding means have hook-shaped projections angled outwardly in the end regions of the foot web and towards the connecting element for anchoring an elastic annular strand or band passed around the component as the first fastening means.

10. The fastening part as set forth in claim 9 , wherein the hook-shaped projections in a plane extending parallel to the foot web have a contact surface extending in an arc for the elastic annular strand or the band that can be passed around same and over which the angled ends of the hook-shaped projections extend.

11. The fastening part as set forth in claim 10 , wherein the contour of the contact surface is adapted to the peripheral contour of the elastic annular strand or band.

12. The fastening part as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the holding means have slots extending in the end regions of the foot web transversely to the longitudinal direction of the foot web for passing through a first fastening element in the form of a band and for the deflection thereof around holding webs provided between the slots and the free ends of the foot web, that are adjacent thereto.

13. The fastening part as set forth in claim 12 , wherein the band is in the form of a hook-and-loop fastener.

14. The fastening part as set forth in claim 12 , wherein arranged at the sides of the slots and holding webs, that are arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the foot web, are outwardly projecting lateral guide webs for the elastic band.

15. The fastening part as set forth in claim 1 , wherein provided in the end regions of the fastening web are slots extending transversely to its longitudinal direction for passing through a band placed around an energy guide as the second fastening element and for the deflection thereof about holding webs provided between the slots and the free ends of the fastening web, that are adjacent thereto.

16. The fastening part as set forth in claim 15 , wherein the band is in the form of a hook-and-loop fastener band.

17. The fastening part as set forth in claim 15 , wherein the slots are provided with enlargements which are in opposite relationship in the longitudinal direction of the fastening part and which form openings belonging to the first fastening means.
