Abstract
An "L" shaped plate includes a mounting flange, with a first plate of the "L" shaped plate including plural pairs of spaced slots spaced apart a predetermined spacing to define a slot pair, wherein each slot pair is arranged for receiving a locking member, including a "U" shaped configuration with spaced exteriorly ribbed legs receivable within a slot pair to secure a wire member therewithin, wherein the mounting flange is arranged for securement to a construction stud. A modification of the invention includes the first plate with conical sealing plugs arranged for directing through openings within a top plate of a construction to effect sealing relationship between the top plate and a wire member directed therethrough.
Claims3
A wire support apparatus comprising,
- an "L" shaped support plate, the "L" shaped support plate including a first plate orthogonally mounted to a second plate defining an "L" shaped configuration, and
- the second plate including mounting means for mounting the second plate relative to a support member, and
- the first plate including a plurality of slot pairs directed therethrough, the slot pairs are parallel relative to one another, and each slot pair includes individual slots, wherein each of said individual slots is arranged parallel relative to one another, and each individual slot within a slot pair is spaced apart a predetermined spacing, and
- at leat one "U" shaped locking member, the "U" shaped locking mebmer receivable in at least one of said slot pairs for securement of a wire member received within the "U" shaped lock member in confrontation with the first plate when the "U" shaped locking member is directed into the first plate, and
- said "U" shaped locking member includes a base web, the base web including a first leg spaced from a second leg, the first leg spaced from the second leg the predetermined spacing, and
- the first leg and the second leg each include spaced parallel exterior ribs mounted to each exterior surface of each leg, wherein each of the ribs are arranged parallel relative to the base web, and
- the base web includes an interior surface within the "U" shaped locking member, and the interior surface of the base web includes a rupturable adhesive packet mounted thereon, and
- the base web includes a series of piercing teeth mounted to the interior surface, and the piercing teeth are in contiguous communication with the rupturable adhesive packet to rupture the adhesive packet upon projection of the "U" shaped locking member within one of said slot pairs.
