Abstract
The attachment system connects power lines on at least one base plate formed of a flexible strip. The base plate has a pattern of holes passing all the way through the base plate. These holes form rows extending at least partially parallel to one another and assuming a predetermined spacing from one another. The attachment system also has attachable/detachable elements on the base plate, each of which has a main body for receiving at least one power line and a first type of pedestal for stationary engagement in the holes. The plastic strips is 0.5 to 5 mm thick. Instead of plastic, the strip can be steel with a 0.1 to 0.5 mm thickness. At least in some of the rows of holes, the sum of the hole dimensions in each such row, under bending stress along each such row, form a definite kink point.
Claims22
A system for attaching power lines, comprising:
- at least one base plate formed of a flexible strip with a thickness between about 0.1 mm and about 5.0 mm, said base plate having longitudinal free edges and being essentially planar in directions transverse to said longitudinal free edges;
- a hole pattern formed in said base plate of holes passing completely through said base plate, said pattern having rows of said holes extending at least partially parallel to one another at a predetermined spacing, said holes of at least some of said rows having dimensions to form definite kink points under bending stress thereat;
- and
- first elements detachably coupled to said base plate, said first elements having main body means for receiving and retaining power lines and having pedestal means for engaging said first elements in said holes.
A system for attaching power lines, comprising:
- at least one base plate formed of a flexible strip with a thickness between about 0.1 mm and about 5.0 mm;
- a hole pattern formed in said base plate of holes passing completely through said base plate, said pattern having rows of said holes extending at least partially parallel to one another at a predetermined spacing, said hoels of at least some of said rows having dimensions to form definite kink points under bending stress thereat;
- first elements detachably coupled to said base plate, said first elements having first main body means for receiving and retaining power lines and having first pedestal means with snap-on members for engaging said first elements in said holes;
- second elements detachably coupled to said base plate, said second elements having second main body means for receiving and retaining power lines, and second pedestal means with snap-on members extending at least partially around said base plate for engaging at least one point on a border of said base plate;
- and
- snap-on spacers engaged in some of said holes of said base plate and extending from said base plate by distances greater than extensions of said first and second pedestal means from a same side of said base plate, said spacers being hollow and cylindrical and including circumferential annular grooves in end areas thereof receiving portions of said base plate.
A system for attaching power lines, comprising:
- a plurality of base plates arranged one behind another and spaced from one another, each said base plate being formed of a flexible strip with a thickness between about 0.1 mm and about 5.0 mm, said base plates being folded to form loops located in channel-shaped members;
- a hole pattern formed in each said base plate of holes passing completely through each said base plate, each said pattern having rows of said holes extending at least partially parallel to one another at a predetermined spacing, said holes of at least some of said rows having dimensions to form definite kink points under bending stress thereat;
- and
- first elements detachably coupled to each said base plate, said first elements having main body means for receiving and retaining power lines and having pedestal means for engaging said first elements in said holes, said elements being spaced along a length of each said base plate and aligned for guiding one power line therein.
