  • Patent number: 9590401
    Abstract: A retainer device for a cable used in an aircraft includes a base. A moveable member is movably connected to the base and forms a channel with the base that is adapted to receive a cable. A pad-deforming portion is defined in the moveable member, which is displaceable between an open position in which a portion, of the moveable member is separated from the base to provide access to the channel, and closed positions, in which the moveable member is releasably connected to the base. A resilient pad is located in the pad-deforming portion to contact the cable received in the channel. The resilient pad is sized to deform from a rest state to a deformed state by the pad-deforming portion during insertion thereinto. The resilient pad is held captive after insertion into the pad-deforming portion by reforming toward the rest state.
