Abstract
A retaining clip (1) is described, for fastening at least one line (2), such as an electric line, fuel line, brake line or the like, to a support (3). To said end, the retaining clip (1) comprises at least one bearing region (4) for the line (2) and one retaining region (5) for attachment to the support (3). The retaining region (5) is formed according to the invention by a base part (6) and a closure part (7), wherein the latter is preferably at least in sections of a strip-like construction.The invention is particularly suitable for fastening lines (2) to supports (3) in motor vehicles without the support (3) having to have a special fastening structure such as a hole or stud, i.e. the support itself may be, for example, a brake or fuel line already installed in the motor vehicle.
