A Bracket for supporting an open wire channel for cables, wherein the channel includes a bottom and opposite sides, the bracket including a body formed from a sheet of metal and having a supporting part for supporting the bottom of the channel and first and second members for laterally engaging and holding the opposite sides of the channel by elastic deformation, said first and second members extending upwardly beyond said supporting part and on opposite sides thereof, said body including two substantially vertical folds which define said supporting part therebetween and beyond which are first and second opposite flanges, said opposite flanges being terminated upwardly by said first and second members, respectively, and said first flange further forming a base for securing the bracket to a support.
A device for supporting cables comprising, at least one bracket and a channel made of open mesh wire, said channel being generally u-shaped in cross section including a bottom and opposite sides, each of said opposite sides having at least one longitudinal wire extending there along which are secured to cross wires, said at least one bracket including a body formed from a sheet of metal having a supporting part for supporting said bottom of said channel and first and second members laterally engaging and grasping said opposite sides of said channel, said first and second members extending upwardly beyond said supporting part and on opposite sides thereof, and each of said first and second members engaging a wire on opposite sides of said channel by elastic deformation when said bottom of said channel rests on said supporting part of said bracket.
A device for supporting cables comprising, at least one bracket and a channel made of open mesh wire, said channel being generally u-shaped in cross section including a bottom and opposite sides, each of said opposite sides having at least one longitudinal wire extending there along which are secured to cross wires, said at least one bracket including a body formed from a sheet of metal having a supporting part for supporting said bottom of said channel and first and second members laterally engaging and holding said opposite sides of said channel, said first and second members extending upwardly beyond said supporting part and on opposite sides thereof, and each of said first and second members engaging a wire on opposite sides of said channel by elastic deformation when said bottom of said channel rests on said supporting part of said bracket.
