Patent number: 10297992Abstract: In a holding device for a cable that includes a sheet-metal part, and an electrical apparatus, the sheet-metal part has a first sheet-metal section and a second sheet-metal section, which are connected by a bending section. The first sheet-metal section is bendable relative to the second sheet-metal part, in particular manually bendable, in particular in the bending section, and in particular such that the first sheet-metal section and the second sheet-metal section are disposed at a non-vanishing bending angle with respect to each other. The first sheet-metal section is connected in an electrically conductive manner to a cable shield of the cable. The cable is connected to the first sheet-metal section by friction locking, the cable in particular being held and guided, in particular locally guided, with the aid of the holding device, and the second sheet-metal section has an interface for the mechanical connection.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: SEW-EURODRIVE GMBH & CO.
