  • Patent number: 4289288
    Abstract: A split ring grommet for use in routing electrical cables, and the like, through aircraft bulkheads is disclosed. The grommet has a flange which is formed at one end thereof and tabs on its outer surface. The grommet is designed so that when it is inserted into the hole in a bulkhead the tab and flange engage the edge of the bulkhead which forms the periphery of the hole. A clamp is provided for securing the opposing faces of the split ring grommet. The clamp slips over the non-flanged end of the grommet and has locking members which fit into slots in the grommet on either side of the opposing faces. The tabs and locking members are spring biased so as to insure a tight fit between the grommet and the bulkhead. Electrical cables, hydraulic tubing and the like are secured by straps which engage both the cables and the grommet.
