Abstract
A cable hanger bracket is provided for hanging a swinging scaffold from a walkway grating comprising vertical parallel side walls, a connected bottom wall and U-type oppositely extending bends for overlapping the grating of a steel grating walkway. A softener member device is secured between the parallel side walls and the connecting bottom wall and is designed to prevent cutting or chafing of a loop of cable about the softener member and between the parallel side walls. The cable hanger has U-bends and downwardly extending walls which overlap the grating and bind thereto in the event of overloading of a platform supported by cables and the hanger bracket.
