ABSTRACT:
Adjustable holding device for holding an item in a desired location relative to a surface, for example it can be used in a marine control system for holding an end of an outer sheath of a control cable adjacent a throttle control. To avoid the excessive number of brackets commonly required for holding items such as control cables, housings, and other light-weight accessories relative to an engine crankcase, gearbox, etc., the present invention provides a holding device that is universally adjustable in three planes to permit simple attachment to the crank case or gearbox with one portion of the device, and easy attachment at an opposite end to the item to be located. The device has inner and outer brackets for securing to the surface and to the item itself, with first, second and third members extending between the brackets. Lockable hinges connect adjacent members and brackets together rigidly, and yet provide adjustment to permit a wide range of inclination of the items.
