ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for forming a plurality of elongate objects such as wires into a bundle of circular cross section. The apparatus comprises a base adapted to be securely affixed to a mount such as a panelboard and a frame for mounting on the base. The frame comprises a pair of arms extending upwardly from adjacent the base with each arm terminating in an end portion. The end portions are movable relative to one another between a retaining position wherein the spacing between the end portions is less than the diameter of one of the objects and a release position wherein the spacing is at least as great as the object diameter. In their release portion, the end portions define an object-receiving opening. The arms are biased toward their retaining position. The apparatus further comprises a length of elastomeric material removably carried by the frame and free of the base. The length includes a portion bridging the arms adjacent the free ends. This portion cooperates with the end portions to hold the bundle therebetween. The frame and the base comprise attachment means for releasably mounting the frame on the base and operable to remove the frame therefrom whereby upon damage to the length of elastomeric material, it can be removed from the base without removal of the base from the support.
