Abstract
A device for supporting electrical cables and the like which includes a saddle for receiving and supporting the cables, and the saddles has a support surface formed with a rounded configuration that curves away from is centerline and downwardly from the centerline in both directions with a radius of curvature that provides a contour generally similar to the contour of the cables supported thereat.
Claims2
A device for supporting flexible cables, comprising:
- (a) an attachment portion by which the device is attached to a mounting member, said attachment portion having a generally longitudinal extent and openings therein for receiving said mounting members;
- and
- (b) a support portion formed integrally with said attachment portion at one longitudinal end of said support portion and extending therefrom along a centerline having a generally triangular configuration that includes a first leg extending downwardly and away from said attachment portion in angular relation thereto, a second leg extending from said first leg at an acute angle and generally perpendicular to said longitudinal extent of said attachment portion, and a third leg extending upwardly from said second leg at an acute angle, said second leg of said support portion having a support surface formed with a rounded configuration that curves away and downwardly from said centerline in both directions with a constant radius of curvature that provides a contour generally similar to the contour of the flexible cables supported and contained within said saddle.
A device for supporting flexible cables, comprising:
- (a) an attachment portion by which the device is attached to a mounting member, said attachment portion having a generally longitudinal extent and openings therein for receiving said mounting members;
- and
- (b) a support portion formed integrally with said attachment portion at one longitudinal end of said support portion and extending therefrom along a centerline having a confining configuration that forms a saddle for containing said flexible cables, said support portion having a support surface formed with a rounded configuration that curves away and downwardly from said centerline in both directions with a radius of curvature that provides a contour generally similar to the contour of the flexible cables supported and contained within said saddle, said confining configuration of said support portion being generally triangular and including a first leg extending downwardly and away from said attachment portion in angular relation thereto, a second leg extending from said first leg at an acute angle and generally perpendicular to said longitudinal extent of said attachment portion, and a third leg extending upwardly from said second leg at an acute angle.
