LOW INSERTION FORCE SEATING GROMMET ASSEMBLY

摘要

A low insertion force seating grommet assembly (10a) has a hollow body (12) arrayed along a longitudinal axis (14). The body (12) has a wide end (16) and a narr ow end (18) connected by an intermediate portion (20). The narrow end (18) has a cylindrical aperture (18a) and the wide end (16) has a cup-shaped aperture (16a). A flan ge (22) surrounds the wide end (16) and is provided with a wall-opening engaging portion (24). Longitudinally extending relief grooves (26) are formed on the internal surface (28) of the cup-shaped aperture (18a). A cable (32) is frictionally engaged in the cylindrical aperture and penetrates the cup-shaped aperture. A cover (30) closes the cup - shaped aperture. The cable enters the cover along the longitudinal axis and exits t he cover at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis.
