Embodiment Construction

[0020] FIGS. 1 to 3 show a retainer 10 comprising a single body with two retainer portions 12 , 14 designed to receive the two fluid conduits shown in FIG. 2 . The retainer portions 12 , 14 are integral with the fastener portion 16 . The fastener portion 16 includes an upper wall 18 and a lower wall 20 connected by a front wall 22 and a rear opposing wall (not visible). The rear wall is not shown in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the upper wall 18 and the lower wall 20 are interconnected to each other in the middle by a hollow approximately cylindrical member 24 . The cylindrical member 24 opens downwards into an expansion rivet 26 comprising circumferentially equidistant resilient legs 28 . A cylindrical pin 30 with an elongated flat head 32 is integrally formed in the top side of the wall portion 18 . Each opposite side of the head 32 is fitted with a groove 34 . When installing the fastener part 16 in the hole of the omitted body part, the first expansion rivet 26 will b...

Abstract

A retainer for a conduit, cable or the like, preferably a fluid conduit in an automobile, includes a retainer body having attaching portions to be mounted to an automobile body part, damping portions for dampening conduit vibrations, an insertion portion that constricts from the outside to the inside, and a receiving portion for the conduit. The retainer body is integrally molded of a plastic material. The receiving portion has three or more engaging portions (54, 56, 60) which are arranged circumferentially of and engage the conduit and which are connected by resilient arms (50, 52, 58) to the retainer body (10, 12, 14) in a manner that, in the event of conduit vibrations, the resilient arms (50, 52, 58) shall yield easily and elastically like leaf springs in all axial and radial directions and shall decouple the vibration-induced forces from the automobile body part.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from German application No. 10 2005 026 471.9 filed on June 9, 2005, the disclosure content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an automotive cable / pipe retainer. Background technique [0004] Various automotive cable / pipe retainers are known. These holders are either fastened with so-called studs welded to the body part, or mounted in holes with expansion rivets or the like. The holder comprises a tapered entry portion, the narrow section of which receives a cable or pipe forced through, whereby such cable / pipe is secured in the receiving portion. The cables or pipes are securely held in the receptacle and cannot be torn off due to accidental displacement. [0005] In a car with an ABS device, the brake ducts for the brake system will be shock loaded when the device is activated depending on the braking s...
