Abstract

A fastening device for cables includes an edge clip part (20) for mounting the fastening device on an edge (10) of a base part, a metal piece (14) which is inserted into the edge clip part (20), a cable band lock (18), and a cable band (16) which is able to be introduced into the cable band lock (18). The metal piece (14) has a tongue (44) projecting into the cable band lock (18). The tongue (44) engages on the cable band (16) when the cable band (16) is introduced.

Claims

1. A fastening device for cables, the fastening device including an edge clip part for mounting the fastening device on an edge of a base part, a metal piece which is inserted into the edge clip part, a cable band lock, and a cable band which is able to be introduced into the cable band lock, the metal piece having a tongue projecting into the cable band lock and at least one sheet metal claw which engages directly on the base part when the fastening device is mounted, the tongue engaging on the cable band when the cable band is introduced.

2. The fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the edge clip part, the cable band lock and the cable band are produced integrally from plastic.

3. The fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the edge clip part has an opening through which the metal piece can be inserted into the edge clip part.

4. The fastening device according to claim 3, wherein the edge clip part has a mounting gap on one side, and the opening for the metal piece is provided on an opposite side.

5. The fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the metal piece has at least one positioning portion which holds the metal piece in the edge clip part in a defined position.

7. The fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the edge clip part has a holding portion which forms a stop for the metal piece.

9. The fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the edge clip part defines a mounting direction, the cable band extending substantially perpendicularly to the mounting direction before introduction into the cable band lock.

6. A fastening device for cables, the fastening device including an edge clip part for mounting the fastening device on an edge of a base part, a metal piece which is inserted into the edge clip part, a cable band lock, and a cable band which is able to be introduced into the cable band lock, the metal piece having a tongue projecting into the cable band lock and at least one detent hook which engages into a corresponding detent window of the edge clip part, the tongue engaging on the cable band when the cable band is introduced.

8. A fastening device for cables, the fastening device including an edge clip part for mounting the fastening device on an edge of a base part, a metal piece which is inserted into the edge clip part, a cable band lock, and a cable band which is able to be introduced into the cable band lock, the metal piece having a tongue projecting into the cable band lock, the tongue engaging on the cable band when the cable band is introduced, the edge clip part having a holding portion that is constructed as a hook and forms a stop for the metal piece, a portion of the metal piece engaging behind the holding portion.
