A clamp for an electrical cable which is particularly useful for fixing an electrical cable to a railway car truck. The clamp has an arched segment of a rigid sheet material which has a concave face, a convex face, opposed side flanks and open forward and rearward ends. The concave face and side flanks define an elongated concavity therebetween. An arcuate transition segment extends from each flank of the arched segment and connect to one of a pair of opposed flat wing segments. Each arcuate transition segment has at least one opening therethrough. Several detents project from the concave face into the concavity. A cincture such as a steel band extends through at least one opening in each arcuate transition segment and the opposite ends of the cincture are attached together. A helical spring having several windings is positioned in the concavity next to the concave face and extends from the forward end to the rearward end of the arched segment such that the detents project between the windings to prevent spring slippage. An electrical cable is mounted through the spring windings and extends from the forward end to the rearward end of the arched segment.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A clamp for an electrical cable, comprising:an arched segment of a substantially rigid sheet material having a concave face, a convex face, opposed side flanks and open forward and rearward ends;an elongated cavity defined between said concave face and said side flanks;a plurality of detents projecting from said concave face into said concavity;an arcuate transition segment extending from each flank of the arched segment and connecting to one of a pair of opposed flat wing segments, wherein each arcuate transition segment defines at least one opening, said opening having a cincture extending therethrough, andmeans for attaching opposite ends of the cincture together.
