Cable support apparatus

At a site of use of cable-operated computers of a type consisting of an upper floor above a lower floor and having spaced apart side walls bounding therebetween a channel repository of said cables of said computers, an interconnected construction of plural wire baskets cable-supports having an operative position in said channel repository, at least one said wire basket cable-support comprising four vertical stanchions in a spaced apart rectangular configuration, at least two horizontal supports connected in spanning relation between two cooperating comer stanchions adjacent facing sides of said channel repository, each said horizontal support having spaced apart side walls bounding an elongated inverted U-shaped main compartment extending lengthwise of said channel repository, each said side wall of said horizontal support having a U-shaped peripheral edge defining an entrance opening into said main compartment and bounding a correspondingly U-shaped auxiliary compartment extending lengthwise of said channel repository and on opposite sides of said main compartment, and a rectangular shaped wire basket having at comer locations along opposite sides upstanding basket-attaching members terminating in inverted U-shaped hooking means, said U-shaped hooking means being slightly oversized in width in relation to a width of said entrance opening-defining U-shaped peripheral edges, said U-shaped hooking means in response to ascending movement from below and into said main compartment effective to cam apart said side wall U-shaped peripheral edges and thereafter to snap into interengaging relation with said U-shaped peripheral edges as caused by opposing said U-shapes and inverted U-shapes thereof, whereby a wire basket connected in depending relation from said support members within said channel repository is without welding or bolted connection thereto.
