Abstract: The disclosure relates to a holding device for holding a pair of rigid power lines of rectangular cross-section in a vehicle. The holding device includes a fixing unit for fastening the holding device and a holding unit for holding the power lines on the holding device. The holding unit includes an inner-rib bar element and an inner-rib holding element. The inner-rib bar element has a main extension plane extending transversely to said power line paths and the inner-rib holding element is disposed along a common main extending direction of the inner-rib holding element and the inner-rib bar element on the inner-rib bar element. The inner-rib holding element has, along the main extension direction, at least a first section with a first abutment surface designed to abut against the first power line and at least a second section with a second abutment surface designed to abut against the second power line.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods that improve production processes in which automatic bundling tool devices (ABT) bundle a good by one-piece-ties (OPT). The improvements include an ABT for bundling a bundle good with a OPT, which includes a band part end and a head part. The ABT includes a guiding device and a tensioning device configured to tension the OPT. The tensioning device is further configured to push the OPT band part end against the tensioning direction in a pushing direction after the OPT has been tensioned. The ABT further includes a control device configured to determine a characteristic parameter for the pushing of the OPT band part end against the tensioning direction and output a quality check signal as a function of the characteristic parameter for the pushing against the tensioning direction and a reference value predetermined for the characteristic parameter.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fixation device that secures cylindrical items, like pipes or cables, to an external structure, such as a vehicle, without tools. The device features a clip-in part that deforms to allow insertion of the item. The clip-in part then reshapes to a closed state and holds the item securely. A frame part attaches the device to the carrier. A spring element part connects the clip-in and frame parts, allowing the clip-in part to move from a neutral position to a locking position where it touches the frame part. This design ensures high reliability and vibration-damping for the attached item.
