Abstract: A clip for connecting at least two components that are provided with fastening through openings, the clip having a base body that includes a dished flange at one end and a fastening section at the opposite end, on the fastening section are located first elastic retaining fingers, which extend axially toward the flange, and second elastic retaining fingers, which extend axially away from the flange.

Abstract: In a suspension for elongated objects, in particular cables (22) or the like, having a tension band (1) formable into a ring encircling the object and held together by a closure, and having a holder (30) separate from the tension band (1) for attachment of the tension band (1) to a support, the holder (30) comprises a finger (37) one end (39) of which overreaches the tension band (1) on the inside facing the cable (22). The end (39) of the finger (37) is opposed to an area of the holder (30) having a spring element (44) in contact with the outside of the tension band (1). A lock (42) secures the finger (37) in its position of engagement. After installation of the tension band (1), the holder (30) may be attached to the tension band (1) in a plurality of locations.
