Abstract
A cable supporting and spacing device utilizes a block of insulating material to space apart two cables, when the device and portions of the cables are partially encased within a closed loop formed by a flexible strap. The device is provided with at least a pair of projections extending outwardly from the surface thereof for "snap-in" like engagement of the strap to the block, thereby facilitating convenient installation of the device when installed between the two separated cable portions.
Claims10
A cable supporting and spacing device comprising the combination of a block and a band, said block having a first and a second opposed side surface, a first elongated trough, said first elongated trough extending for the length of said block in an uppermost surface thereof, a second elongated trough, said second elongated trough extending along said length of said block in a lowermost surface thereof, at least one pair of projections, said at least one pair of projections being secured to said block at one of said first and said second opposed side surfaces, said projections having free ends, said free ends being directed towards one another, said band having one end thereof including a loop-like configuration extending transverse the longitudinal axis of said band, said loop-like configuration having a width greater than the width of said band, said band having a second end, wherein said second end of said band is adapted to pass through said loop-like configuration forming an encircling belt-like loop thereby, said band being bendable, said band having a length wherein said loop-like configuration defines a loop of greater size than the size of said block about its uppermost and lowermost and opposed side surfaces, said at least one pair of projections being positioned a distance apart so as to have portions of said projections extend partly over the marginal edges of said band when said band is positioned encircling said uppermost and said lowermost and said opposed side surfaces of said block.
