A self-supportable cable clamp for attaching a cable transversely across inwardly directed flanges of a U-shaped support channel includes an elongate base having a rigid lower portion adapted to reside within the channel and a pair of flexible, cantilevered arms adapted to lie exteriorly of the channel. The base lower portion has a pair of longitudinally spaced engagement surfaces that together with opposed contact surfaces on the flexible arms define a pair of openings for resiliently receiving the inwardly directed channel flanges. The base is adapted to be installed by insertion thereof into the channel and rotation thereabout until the channel flanges are received in the base openings. A cable strap of the self-locking type is supported by the base for attachment to a cable and for securing such cable to the base as mounted on the channel.
A clamp for attaching an article, such as a cable or the like, transversely across a support channel having spaced inwardly extending flanges along its longitudinal extent and defining an elongate slot therebetween, comprising:
A self-supporting base for use in a clamp of the type for attaching an article, such as a cable or the like, transversely across a support channel having two spaced inturned flanges defining an elongated slot therebetween, such clamp including means for securement to said article for holding said article secure relative to said channel, comprising:
