Abstract
Disclosed is a device for supporting electric wires, cords and other elongated bodies, which comprises a "U"-shaped frame body having a catch provided on one free end of the frame body, a lid member hinge-connected to the other free end of the frame body and a spring member extending from the inner wall of the lid member. In use, a plurality of elongated bodies are laid on the spring member, and the lid member is pushed down until the free end of the lid member is caught by the catch of the "U"-shaped main body, thus putting the elongated bodies in the rectangle space defined by the main body and the lid member. The spring member continuously applies a force to the lid member in its opening direction as a counter action resulting from the state in which the spring member is pushed against the bottom part of the main body and is yieldingly deformed. Thus, the lid member is positively assured from undesired opening and releasing the elongated bodies.
