Abstract
One leg of an angled mounting bracket is formed with an access hole sufficiently large to insert an end of a cable assembly through the hole, the assembly including a cable, a flexible conduit slidably receiving the cable, a tubular fitting fixed to the cable and a boot on one end of the conduit. A plurality of slots extend outwardly from the access hole to provide somewhat of a keyhole configuration. Each slot is sized to receive the conduit fitting of the cable assembly. A single lock plate slides across the access hole in a manner to cause edges of the lock plate to engage the cable assembly fittings and rigidly hold them in a fixed position. Retainer portions on the plate and the bracket hold the plate in face-to-face contact with the bracket.
