ABSTRACT:
A clamp includes a cushion and a strap each made from a resilient material. The cushion has a body portion and a pair of lip portions extending toward each other in spaced relationship to the body portion to define a pocket. The strap is disposed in the pocket and is bendable in a loop to retain a cable within the cushion.
A pair of projections extend from the body portion at the side opposite to the lip portions. The projections are shaped to retain cables of different cross-sectional area in the space between the projections when the strap is bent in the loop. The projections define resilient springs which bend outwardly from each other to accommodate cables of different cross-sectional area.
Each of the projections has a pyramidal shape and defines a shallower angle with the body portion at the inboard side than at the outboard side. The width of each projection is approximately equal to the height. A hole may be provided at the base of each projection to facilitate controlled bending of the projection and the damping of vibrations of the cable.
