Abstract
A novel cable clip for retainment of cables or tubing which utilizes a one-piece J-shaped rigid body (9) comprising of a cupped shaped bottom (10) having both ends open, a short side (11) having a locking device located at the end of the said short side (11), a long side (12) having a locking device located at the unattached end of the punched-out projection surface (13), said punched-out projection surface extending in a downward direction pointing towards the said short side locking device and being part of said long side (12). At the upper end of said long side (12) having an attachment hole (14) having a mechanical device for attachment of said J-shaped rigid body (9) to a substructure. The said J-shaped rigid body (9) can be flexed repeatedly along the surface of both the short side (11 ) and long side (12) where they become common with the cupped shaped bottom (10) without fracturing, allowing the locking devices to interlock repeatedly and to disengage repeatedly. When the said interlock is in the disengaged position this novel cable clip will hold the cable or tubing in a fixed position not allowing the cable or tubing to fall away from the cable clip.
