Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cable clamp is configured to fix an electric cable including an electric wire section and an outer layer section covering the electric wire section to a fixed member. The cable clamp includes a first cylindrical portion for the electric wire section to be inserted therein, and a second cylindrical portion formed around outside the first cylindrical portion to surround the first cylindrical portion. The second cylindrical portion includes a receiving portion formed between it and the first cylindrical portion to receive the outer layer section. The second cylindrical portion is swaged with the electric wire section inserted in the first cylindrical portion and with the outer layer section received in the receiving portion, so that the outer layer section is gripped by the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cable clamp, which is configured to fix an electric cable including an electric wire section and an outer layer section covering the electric wire section to a fixed member, the cable clamp comprising: a first cylindrical portion for the electric wire section to be inserted therein; and a second cylindrical portion formed around outside the first cylindrical portion to surround the first cylindrical portion, the second cylindrical portion including a receiving portion formed between it and the first cylindrical portion to receive the outer layer section, wherein the second cylindrical portion is swaged with the electric wire section inserted in the first cylindrical portion and with the outer layer section received in the receiving portion, so that the outer layer section is gripped by the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion. 2. The cable clamp according to claim 1 , further comprising: an interlocking portion, which interlocks the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion together, and which is configured to be connected to the fixed member to thereby fix the cable to the fixed member. 3. The cable clamp according to claim 2 , wherein the interlocking portion includes a flange formed to be jutted outward relative to the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion, the flange being formed with a connecting hole therein for a bolt to connect the interlocking portion to the fixed member. 4. The cable clamp according to claim 3 , wherein the second cylindrical portion includes a deformation relieving portion around a flange side thereof relative to a swaged portion thereof, to relieve deformation of the flange due to the swaging. 5. The cable clamp according to claim 4 , wherein the deformation relieving portion is being formed as a thin portion partially reduced in thickness dimension of the second cylindrical portion. 6. A harness, comprising: an electric cable including an electric wire section and an outer layer section covering the electric wire section; and a cable clamp to fix the electric cable to a fixed member, the cable clamp comprising a first cylindrical portion for the electric wire section to be inserted therein, and a second cylindrical portion formed around outside the first cylindrical portion to surround the first cylindrical portion, the second cylindrical portion including a receiving portion formed between it and the first cylindrical portion to receive the outer layer section, the electric cable and the cable clamp being combined together by swaging of the second cylindrical portion with the electric wire section inserted in the first cylindrical portion and with the outer layer section received in the receiving portion. 7. The harness according to claim 6 , wherein the electric cable includes a shield layer, the shield layer being received in the receiving portion, and folded back in the receiving portion to be in contact with both an outer circumferential surface of the first cylindrical portion and an inner circumferential surface of the second cylindrical portion.
