End-fitting for routing cables within vehicles

摘要

An end-fitting assembly for routing a cable on a vehicle chassis in a predetermined direction. The assembly includes a mounting element and end-fitting element. The mounting element includes a mounting portion, attached to the vehicle chassis, and a flange portion, having a mounting aperture with a keyway formed in the mounting aperture periphery. The end-fitting element is generally tubular in form and sized to engage the mounting aperture, and it includes a retainer element on the end-fitting, adapted to engage the mounting aperture; a locking assembly, including a key adapted to engage the keyway; and a directional tube, extending from the mounting element in the pre-determined direction, adapted to carry the cable.
