Abstract:
The invention is a wire loom constructed from a strip of plastic hook fastener material, which holds a single wire or cable in position, or a bundle of wires or cables together. The wire loom is formed by stretching the hook fastener material along its lengthwise dimension, and has a curled center portion forming a tubular channel in which wires or cable are inserted and retained, and two uncurled end portions. The hook layer side of the loom can be secured to a strip or patch of mating loop material located on a panel, frame member, or other object, to hold the wires or cable in a desired position. An additional strip of loop material may be wrapped around the center of the loom or placed longitudinally on the loom for extra wire-retaining strength.
