ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides clip assemblies and methods for their use for retaining a cable against a mounting surface. Exemplary clip assemblies (10) include a clip body (12) having upper and lower surfaces (14, 16). The clip body lower surface defines a cable retaining opening (36) sized for receipt of the cable. The clip body further includes a penetration region that is adapted for being penetrated by a fastener (40). The clip assembly includes a threaded fastener having a head (42), a tip (44), and a shaft portion (46) between the head and tip. The shaft portion has a threaded region (48) and a non-threaded region (54). The threaded region includes a plurality of threads (50) defining a root diameter (52) of the threaded region. The non-threaded region has a diameter (56) that is generally equal to or less than the root diameter of the threaded region. The non-threaded region is adapted to align with the penetration region when the threaded region is fastened to the mounting surface.
