Abstract: A cable-clamping device (1), including a base (2) having a through seat (3) for accommodating electrical cables, for example electrical power cables of a household appliance; and a clamping element (4) progressively insertable in the seat (3) in a transversal direction with respect to the same defined in use by an axis (A) laying on a longitudinal symmetry plane of the clamping element, for clamping in use the cables against a bottom wall (5) of the seat; the clamping element (4) being delimited between a first (6) and a second (7) end by a first (8) and a second (9) lateral flank essentially parallel to the longitudinal symmetry plane and by an upper face (10) essentially perpendicular to the lateral flanks, the first and the second ends being provided with coupling means to the base (2) including snappingretaining means (11) made at the second end (7) and an insertion seat (12) for at least one removable clamping element; wherein the insertion seat (12) is defined by at least one first recess (13) open on the first lateral flank (8), at least one second recess (14) open on the second lateral flank (9) and made immediately adjacent to, and flush with, the first, and by at least one slot (15) made transversally through the first end, in direction essentially perpendicular to the lateral flanks.

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.
