ABSTRACT:
A cable holder for relieving strain on the current-supply cable of a portable handheld electrically-operated work apparatus such as a lawn mower or brushcutter. The cable holder includes a chamber fixed to the apparatus and a closure piece which is pivotally journalled on the chamber. The closure piece and a wall of the chamber conjointly define a latch for holding a segment of the cable. In its at-rest position, the closure piece blocks access to the receptacle for the cable segment to be clamped with the receptacle being defined by the chamber. The cable segment held by the cable holder is part of a cable loop of an extension cable for supplying current to the work apparatus from a remote location. The cable segment is inserted into the receptacle by pushing the cable segment into the chamber thereby causing the closure piece to pivot into its release position. Thereafter, the closure piece is returned to its at-rest position, which is now effectively a clamping position. Part of the closure piece is formed as a grab portion which can be pulled by an operator to open the clamp.
