Abstract:
Guiding cork-and-clamp device for supporting and retaining an electrical cable (or a bundle of electrical cables) in a hole of the casing of an electrical household appliance; the device includes: a sleeve-like body, which is designed to fit with play inside the hole and defines a seat for through housing of one or more electrical cables; and a cable-clamping element carried by the sleeve-like body and provided with control means for being displaced in the seat in a direction transverse to an axis passing through said seat. The cable-clamping element presses radially on the cable to grip it tightly against an internal side wall of the sleeve-like body, said sleeve-like body being formed by at least one pair of sectors, which can be coupled together circumferentially by constraint means designed to allow a possibility of relative movement of the sectors in a radial direction with an amplitude comparable to that of the play existing between the sleeve-like body and the hole; in use, the radial pressure exerted by the cable-clamping element on the cable creates a reaction on the sectors such as to cause them to move away from one another to an extent whereby at least part of the play existing between the sleeve-like body and the hole is recovered, thus clamping the sleeve-like body and the cable to the casing.
