Abstract

A cable fastening device comprising at least one connecting piece for fastening a cable to a fastening surface, and at least one binding lug protruding out of the outer surface of the connecting piece, by intermediation of which binding lug one or several cables are fastened to the fastening device, wherein the fastening device comprises a vibration attenuating material layer arranged in between the connecting piece and the fastening surface for the fastening device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cable fastening device comprising:
at least one connecting piece made of a metal strip, the connecting piece including at least one cutting groove in a top surface thereof in a direction transverse to a length of the connecting piece, the cutting groove being formed into at least a portion of a thickness of the connecting piece, extending from a first edge of the connecting piece to a second edge of the connecting piece, forming a weakened region;
at least two separate and spaced apart binding lugs extending from the top surface of the at least one connecting piece, the binding lugs being formed separate from one another, each binding lug defining a first open side parallel to and facing the first edge of the connecting piece and a second open side parallel to and facing the second edge of the connecting piece, wherein the cutting groove is positioned between, spaced from and separating adjacent ones of the at least two binding lugs, the binding lugs being integrally formed with the top surface and defining an opening through the connecting piece extending from the top surface to a bottom surface of the connecting piece opposite the binding lugs;
an elastic vibration attenuating material layer positioned on and attached to the bottom surface; and
an adhesive applied on the elastic vibration attenuating material layer at a side opposite to the connecting piece for attaching the connecting piece and elastic vibration attenuating material layer to a fastening surface, the adhesive being a double-sided adhesive tape,
wherein a length of the connecting piece can be adjusted by separating a portion of the connecting piece from another portion of the connecting piece along the cutting groove, and
wherein separation of the at least two binding lugs from one another along the groove maintains the adjacent binding lugs intact and unaffected.

2. The cable fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two binding lugs are positioned along a center line of the at least one connecting piece.

3. The cable fastening device of claim 2 , wherein the center line extends in a length direction of the at least two binding lugs such that the center line does not intersect respective first and second open sides of the at least two binding lugs.

4. The cable fastening device of claim 3 , further comprising a cable tie extending through the first open side and the second open side of at least one of the binding lugs so as to extend between the connecting piece and the binding lug, the cable tie configured to secure a cable against an exterior surface of the binding lug.

5. The cable fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein a cable is coupled to at least one of the binding lugs of the at least one connecting piece by a string or wire.

6. The cable fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein a cable is coupled to at least one of the binding lugs of the at least one connecting piece by a steel strip.

7. A cable fastening device comprising:
at least one connecting piece made of a metal strip, the connecting piece including at least one cutting groove in a top surface thereof in a direction transverse to a length of the connecting piece, the cutting groove being formed into at least a portion of a thickness of the connecting piece, extending from a first edge of the connecting piece to a second edge of the connecting piece, forming a weakened region;
at least two separate and spaced apart binding lugs extending from the top surface of the at least one connecting piece, the binding lugs being formed separate from one another and centered on a longitudinal center line of the at least one connecting piece, the binding lugs being defined by open sides positioned parallel to and on opposing sides of the longitudinal centerline,
wherein the cutting groove is positioned between and separating adjacent ones of the at least two binding lugs, the binding lugs being integrally formed with the top surface and defining an opening through the connecting piece extending from the to surface to a bottom surface of the connecting piece opposite the binding lugs;
an elastic vibration attenuating material layer positioned on and attached to the bottom surface; and
an adhesive applied on the elastic vibration attenuating material layer at a side opposite to the connecting piece for attaching the connecting piece and the elastic vibration attenuating material layer to a fastening surface, the adhesive being a double-sided adhesive tape, wherein a length of the connecting piece can be adjusted by separating a portion of the connecting piece from another portion of the connecting piece along the cutting groove, and
wherein separation of the at least two binding lugs from one another along the groove maintains the adjacent binding lugs intact and unaffected.
