Elongate cylindrical members securement

摘要

The present invention comprises an inter-fitting, two-part securing means which holds a flanged end of an elongated cylindrical actuating cable guidance tube in its operative position on a support in a vehicle. The securing means comprises a pair of generally semi-cylindrical body parts which, when assembled, form a through bore for the cable, and guidance tube with opposed recesses in the bore which receive and hold the guidance tube flange. One of the pair of body parts has a flanged end and is inserted through a noncircular hole in the support with the flange clamped against the support. Substantially diametrically outwardly extending ribs on the other end of the one body part are slidingly received in complementary grooves on the other of the pair of body parts. Integral spring finger means locks the pair of body parts in assembled relation.
