Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The disclosure is explained in more detail below with the aid of a drawing. A first embodiment is shown. In the figures:

[0032] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a cable-labeling tag according to the disclosure in the state fixed to a labeling grommet, in which the holder of the cable-labeling tag engages in a labeling-tag-receiving pocket of the labeling grommet,

[0033] FIG. 2 shows the cable-labeling tag from FIG. 1 in a view from above,

[0034] FIG. 3 shows the cable-labeling tag from FIG. 2 in a perspective view from below,

[0035] FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional representation of the kit consisting of a cable-labeling tag and a label grommet according to FIG. 1,

[0036] FIG. 5 shows a further perspective view of the kit from FIG. 4 mounted on the cable, and

[0037] FIG. 6 shows a cross-section through the cable-labeling tag with its holder, which is placed in the labeling-tag-receiving pocket of the labeling grommet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The figures are only schematic in nature and serve only for comprehension of the disclosure. The same elements are provided with the same reference symbols.

[0039] FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a cable-labeling tag 1 according to the disclosure. It has a front side 2 which defines a labeling surface 3. It is designed to show alphanumeric characters not shown in FIG. 1.

[0040] However, these alphanumeric characters can be seen in the representation according to FIG. 2, which provides a view of the front side 2 with the formation of the labeling surface 3.

[0041] Coming back to FIG. 1, it can be seen that a holder 5 protrudes on a rear side 4 of the cable-labeling tag 1. The holder 5 is inserted into a labeling-tag-receiving pocket 6 of a labeling grommet 7.

[0042] The holder 5 has a rectangular cross-section. It has an L shaped arm 17. A delimiting element 8 has the same cross-section and the same L shape, but with a shorter (main) leg. The secondary legs of both components 5 and 8 are of the same length and width.

[0043] The labeling grommet 7 has a cable-holding pocket 9 next to the labeling-tag-receiving pocket 6, more precisely (further) away from the cable-labeling tag 1. This cable-holding pocket 9 could also be referred to as a channel. Likewise, the labeling-tag-receiving pocket 6 could be referred to as a shaft.

[0044] The cable-holding pocket 9 defines two legs 10 pointing away from the cable-labeling tag 1. Ultimately, a cable 11 inserted into the cable-holding pocket 9 is surrounded on all sides by the material of the labeling grommet 7. The material of the labeling grommet 7 therefore encloses the cable 11.

[0045] The clip-like design of the cable-labeling tag 1 can be seen in FIG. 3. A base body 12 forms the labeling surface 3 on the front side 2. Both the holder 5 and the delimiting element 8 are arranged on the rear side 4. The delimiting element 8 and the holder 5 each have a free end 13 and a free end 14. There is an air gap 15 between the two free ends 13 and 14. An empty space 16 is arranged between the holder 5 and the rear side 4.

[0046] The free ends 13 and 14 have the same spatial orientation and define two spaced-apart planes which lie obliquely in space but perpendicularly intersect a longitudinal axis of the cable-labeling tag or an axis of symmetry of the cable 11.

[0047] In the section as shown in FIG. 4, the focus is on the adaptation of the holder 5 to the labeling-tag-receiving pocket 6.

[0048] It can be seen from FIG. 5 that the combination of the delimiting element 8 and the holder 5 is significantly longer than the labeling-tag-receiving pocket 6 and/or the labeling grommet 7 in general.

[0049] The adaptation of the individual cross-sections to one another can be seen from FIG. 6.
