Abstract

Abstract A cable clamp comprises a clamp body provided with an adhesive layer and a peeling layer to cover the adhesive layer a lower surface and with a cushion member applied to an upper surface, and a pressure element which projects from a side surface of the clamp body and has a cushion member applied to a lower surface, wherein the clamp body and the pressure element are formed integrally by thin metal sheets, thereby cables in any shape can be clamped without damaging insulation portion thereof.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 134 words
A cable clamp comprising: a planar thin plastically deformable metal clamp body having an upper surface, a lower surface and at least one side edge; an adhesive layer covering said lower surface of said clamp body; a peeling layer covering said adhesive layer; thin plastically deformable metal pressure element, having one end integrally attached to, and projecting from, at least one said at least one side edge and having a lower surface facing said upper surface of said clamp body; at least one cushion member applied to said upper surface of said clamp body and said lower surface of each said pressure element; and a plurality of notches formed in said clamp body and extending from said one side edge, each of said notches being positioned adjacent said one end of said pressure element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 134 words
A cable clamp comprising: a planar thin plastically deformable metal clamp body having an upper surface, a lower surface and at least one side edge; an adhesive layer covering said lower surface of said clamp body; a peeling layer covering said adhesive layer; thin plastically deformable metal pressure element, having one end integrally attached to, and projecting from, at least one said at least one side edge and having a lower surface facing said upper surface of said clamp body; at least one cushion member applied to said upper surface of said clamp body and said lower surface of each said pressure element; and a plurality of notches formed in said clamp body and extending from said one side edge, each of said notches being positioned adjacent said one end of said pressure element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
