ABSTRACT:
A clamping apparatus for clamping a group of cables, or the like, is formed of a plurality of clamp segments each formed to be movably connected to another segment on one or both ends of the segment. One or more elongated springs is attached through the connected clamp segments and each spring has each end attached to one of the segments so that the spring will bias the segments and allow the segments to be clamped around a bundle of cables, or the like, and to be snapped open for removing or changing the cables. The clamp segments can have one or more springs therein. One embodiment has a cable, cord or band attached to one end and extending around the segments and onto a spool for use in opening or closing the distal end portions of the clamping mechanism. The cord, cable or band may be aligned with eyes, guides or rollers attached to some of the segments.
