Abstract

A one-piece retainer has a base with an integral band clip and a fastener for securing an electrical cable or wire harness to a vehicle component, as well as a pair of arms for supporting another cable or a hose on the component. The base has a cradle extending along a length of the base. The arms extend from each end of the base outward from the cradle. The arms have curved sections creating interior spaces aligned with and spaced away from the cradle. Ledges extend from the base opposite each arm, forming an opening to each interior space between the ledge and a tapered edge of the curved section of the arm. The openings face in opposite directions. A cable or hose is twisted or turned relative to the base such that part of the cable or hose can be rested on the ledges in alignment with each opening. Then the cable or hose is twisted or turned back and inserted or snapped into the interior of each arm to seat along the cradle. The arms resiliently clasp the cable or hose in the cradle.
