Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0334183A1] A wire support (100) composed substantially of plastic, having a head (4) receiving the wire (1), and a plug (5) protruding laterally therefrom, which peg is inserted into a hole (2) in a post (3) and can be opened out inside the post (3) by a spreader peg (20) which can be driven into a hollow in the head (4) and the plug (5), as a result of which the head (4) is fixed. The plug (5) is surrounded by a bushlike metal shell (8) which distributes the forces and is deformed when the spreader peg (20) is driven in. (Fig. 7) <IMAGE>
