Abstract

A cable clamp which is capable of preventing even a very fine cable to be treated from coming off or extending off therefrom, without any fear of the cable being damaged or broken, and is easy to carry out a clamping treatment and an extra length-bunching treatment on cables, with enhanced workability. The cable clamp includes a pair of cable-holding bodies each including a pillar portion vertically extending from the base, and a cantilever portion extending from an end of the pillar portion, remote from the base, in a direction substantially at right angles to the pillar portion. The pair of cable-holding bodies are configured such that the pillar portions are arranged to extend in opposite directions, with one of respective side surfaces of the respective cantilever portions being opposed to the other with a predetermined space therebetween.

Claims

1. A cable clamp for holding a cable, comprising:

a base;

a pair of cable-holding bodies each including a pillar portion vertically extending from said base, and a cantilever portion extending from an end of said pillar portion, remote from said base, in a direction substantially at right angles to said pillar portion; and

an anchor portion provided on a side of said base, opposite from said pillar portions, such that said anchor portion vertically extends from a center of said base for being inserted through a mounting board,

wherein said pair of cable-holding bodies are configured such that said pillar portions are arranged to extend in opposite directions, with one of respective side surfaces of said cantilever portions being opposed to the other with a predetermined space therebetween.

2. The cable clamp according to claim 1, wherein said pair of cable-holding bodies have sawtoothed protrusions formed on at least one of said cantilever portions opposed to each other.

3. The cable clamp according to claim 1, wherein said pair of cable-holding bodies have sloping surfaces formed at ends of said opposed cantilever portions, remote from said base.

4. The cable clamp according to claim 1, wherein said base is in a form of a disk, and has tapered projections arranged on a peripheral portion of a surface thereof on which said anchor portion is provided.
