Wiring anti-chafe support device

摘要

Improved clamp means for mounting and firmly securing wires and the like comprises a conventional loop clamp or wire restraint and an anti-chafe support device of a nodal structure to prevent abrasion and chafing of the mounted wires. The anti-chafe support device can be made of a resilient material in strip form having raised nodes on one side and a longitudinal channel or groove on the other side to accommodate the loop clamp or wire restraint. A formed strip of suitable length is coiled and installed on the loop clamp or wire restraint so that the nodes are radially directed inwardly to provide a large gripping area for wires positioned against or between them. The nodes not only greatly increases wire retention force by providing a much greater gripping area but can also provide definite separation of wires positioned between spaced nodes.
