Abstract
A wrap bracket formed from a strap and a clamp to secure a cable bundle to a support. The strap includes an intermediate portion, a first portion extending from the intermediate portion in a first direction and a second portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a second direction opposite the first direction. The second portion engages the first portion to mount the strap to the support. The clamp includes a base that is secured to the intermediate portion of the strap. A first tab and a second tab extend in opposite directions away from the base. The first and second tabs wrap around the cable bundle to secure the cable bundle to the base.
Claims11
A wrap bracket comprising:
- a strap comprising:
- an intermediate portion,
- a first portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a first direction, and
- a second portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, wherein the second portion is adapted to wrap around a support and engage the first portion to mount the strap to the support without a separate fastener;
- and
- a clamp comprising:
- a base secured to the intermediate portion of the strap,
- a first tab extending radially outward in an initial position away from the base, and
- a second tab extending radially outward in an initial position away from the base opposite the first tab, wherein the first tab and the second tab are adapted to collectively wrap around at least one elongated member to secure the elongated member to the base;
- wherein the strap is formed into planar segments that are angularly spaced apart from adjacent segments to correspond with an outer surface of the support to limit rotation of the wrap bracket relative to the support.
A wrap bracket comprising:
- a strap comprising:
- an intermediate portion,
- a first portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a first direction, and
- a second portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, wherein the second portion is adapted to wrap around a support and engage the first portion to mount the strap to the support without a separate fastener;
- and
- a clamp comprising:
- a base secured to the intermediate portion of the strap,
- a first tab extending radially outward in an initial position away from the base, and
- a second tab extending radially outward in an initial position away from the base opposite the first tab, wherein the first tab and the second tab are adapted to collectively wrap around at least one elongated member to secure the elongated member to the base;
- wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the strap includes a slot formed through and the other of the first portion and the second portion includes a pawl biased to extend through the slot to lock the first portion and the second portion together.
A wrap bracket comprising:
- a strap comprising:
- an intermediate portion,
- a first portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a first direction, and
- a second portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, wherein the second portion is adapted to wrap around a support and engage the first portion to mount the strap to the support without a separate fastener;
- and
- a clamp comprising:
- a base secured to the intermediate portion of the strap,
- a first tab extending radially outward in an initial position away from the base, and
- a second tab extending radially outward in an initial position away from the base opposite the first tab, wherein the first tab and the second tab are adapted to collectively wrap around at least one elongated member to secure the elongated member to the base;
- wherein the first portion comprises a first end segment with at least one slot formed through, and wherein the second portion comprises:
- a second end segment with an aperture formed through;
- and
- a pawl pivotally connected to the second end segment and biased to extend through the at least one slot of the first end segment to provide a ratchet mechanism to lock the first portion and the second portion together.
