Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0029786A1] The invention relates to fixing element (1) for fixing an oblong object (2) in an opening that is wider than the diameter of said object. Said fixing element consists of a resilient material, preferably of spring steel in the form of a steel strip. The element has a length that is greater than the width of the opening so that the element can be jammed in the opening by deforming it and it elastically divides said opening. One end of the spring steel strip is rolled up, preferably it is curled up. In this manner, the curled up part defines a substantially cylindrical area with a variable diameter for accommodating the object to be fixed.
