Device and Method for Suspending Telecommunication and Power Cables

A device for supporting an article, which comprises:

• (a) a support arm that is connected to a tray, which is adapted to support an article;
• (b) a vertical support that rests substantially adjacent to a first side of a wall, wherein (i) the support arm is adjustably connected to any of a plurality of positions along a primary axis of the vertical support and (ii) the vertical support comprises a first and second slidably engageable part, wherein the first slidably engageable part may be reversibly connected to any of a plurality of positions along a primary axis of the second slidably engageable part;
• (c) a horizontal support, wherein (i) the horizontal support makes contact with at least a portion of a top side of the wall and (ii) the horizontal support comprises a first and second slidably engageable part, wherein the first slidably engageable part may be reversibly connected to any of a plurality of positions along a primary axis of the second slidably engageable part to increase or decrease a total length of the horizontal support;
• and
• (d) a second vertical support, which rests substantially adjacent to a second side of the wall and is connected to or integrally formed with the horizontal support.

A method for suspending and holding an article near a top side of a wall, which comprises:

• (a) attaching a support arm to a vertical support, wherein the support arm is adapted to hold the article and the vertical support rests substantially adjacent to a first side of the wall;
• (b) placing a horizontal support on the top side of the wall, wherein the horizontal support is connected to or integrally formed with the vertical support;
• (c) placing a second vertical support substantially adjacent to a second side of the wall, wherein the second vertical support is connected to or integrally formed with the horizontal support;
• and
• (d) placing the article, directly or indirectly, on the support arm.

A method for suspending and holding an article near a top side of a wall, which comprises:

• (a) attaching a support arm to a vertical support, wherein (i) the support arm is attached to the vertical support at any of a plurality of positions along a primary axis of the vertical support and (ii) the support arm is adapted to hold the article;
• (b) adjusting a total length of the vertical support, wherein the vertical support comprises a first and second slidably engageable part, wherein the first slidably engageable part may be reversibly connected to any of a plurality of positions along a primary axis of the second slidably engageable part to increase or decrease the total length of the vertical support;
• (c) placing the vertical support substantially adjacent to a first side of the wall;
• (d) adjusting a total length of a horizontal support to match an approximate thickness of the wall, wherein the horizontal support (i) is connected to or integrally formed with the vertical support and (ii) comprises a first and second slidably engageable part, wherein the first slidably engageable part may be reversibly connected to any of a plurality of positions along a primary axis of the second slidably engageable part to increase or decrease the total length of the horizontal support;
• (e) placing the horizontal support on the top side of the wall;
• (f) placing a second vertical support substantially adjacent to a second side of the wall, wherein the second vertical support is connected to or integrally formed with the horizontal support;
• and
• (g) placing the article, directly or indirectly, on the support arm.
