Abstract: An anchoring device 1 for anchoring an elongate member to a flat plate 8 provided with a slot 6 leading to one edge 10 thereof, includes a sleeve 2 for fitting over the member and having a groove 4 slidable along the slot 6. A spring-loaded ring 14 is movable along the sleeve 2 to allow accommodation of the slotted plate within the groove 4 and is biased to interlock with a projection 12 on the plate 8.

Abstract: An anchorage is provided for anchoring an elongate member (2) such as a Bowden-type control cable to a flat member (7) such as a vehicle bulkhead having an undercut slot (5) in an edge (6) thereof. The anchorage comprises a sleeve (1) which is fixable coaxially around the elongate member (2) and which is formed with a peripheral groove (4) whose axial length is sufficient to accommodate the thickness of the flat member (7) at its slot (5). The groove (4) defines a neck (8) which is a close fit into the slot (5), and at least one plunger member (9) carried by the sleeve (1) is axially movable relative to that sleeve (1) from a position in which it is clear of the groove (4) into a position in which it projects across the groove and enlarges the size of the neck (8) to a dimension such as to form an interlock with the undercut (11) of the slot (5), to resist withdrawal of the anchoring sleeve (1) therefrom.
