ABSTRACT:
There is provided a cable tie which incorporates a cushioning means which also functions as a retaining means. The cable tie comprises a housing and a strap. The strap can be separate from or integral with the housing. When the free end of the strap is assembled within the housing, a plurality of angularly extending fins maintains the integrity of the assembled components. A second plurality of longitudinal fins extend angularly from the inside circumference of the assembled clamp. The resiliency of the fins provides a cushioning to the device encircled by the strap. In addition the second plurality of longitudinally extending fins provide a resistance means to the sliding of the cable tie in a direction along a vehicle bracket or other member to which the cable tie is attached or to the longitudinal movement of the wiring harness within the cable tie itself. Another embodiment of the cable tie comprises a housing which is adapted to be secured to a separate vehicular member and utilizes a plurality of the tie straps to secure the housing to a wiring harness or other object.
