Abstract
A cable clamp of the present invention comprises a base having a fixing portion on the lower surface, a flat clamp rockingly connected to the base, and a means for locking a distal end of the flat clamp to the base engageably or disengageably. The cable clamp retains electric wires between the base and the flat clamp. The locking member comprises a plate-shaped protrusion provided on the flat clamp or the base and a retaining protrusion formed with the outer surface thereof. A resilient retaining member is protrudingly provided on the flat clamp opposite the plate-shaped protrusion or the base and has a hole for engaging with the retaining protrusion. An engaging member is protrudingly provided on the same surface with the resilient retaining member in parallel and engaging with an inner surface of the plate-shaped protrusion. Further, a notched portion formed with a distal end of the resilient retaining member faces the engaging member. Therefore, the cable clamp can easily carry out unlocking without any unlock levers and offers not only a simple but a secure locking mechanism.
