Pipe holder with vibration damper in motor vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to a fixing element for a vibration-dampened tube holder for pipes, especially fluid lines in motor vehicles. The inventive device consists of a hard elastic plastic base body which can be attached to a support plate, a base plate (5) with U-shaped side walls (6, 7), and a fixing shell (8) encompassing more than half of the circumference of the pipe. The ends of said shell are joined to the side walls as single pieces by means of two upward directed rods (9). In order to fasten the pipes to the fixing element in an axial direction once they have been pressed into place and aligned, a pivoting closing strap (10) is formed on the upper edge of one side wall (6). The open end of said strap is provided with a notched rod (12) protruding at an approximate right angle and possessing a notched edge that faces away from the pivoting point. Said edge co-operates with an inward facing opposing notched edge (14) located in an outward position on the opposite side wall (7). When the closing strap is open, the distance (a) separating the notched rod (12) which is formed on the strap is smaller than the distance (b) of the pivoting hinge (11) of the upper wall area of the other side wall (7).
