Abstract
A combined safety clip and closure device for a conductor support. The combined safety clip and closure device includes a first restraining section and at least one closure section. The first restraining section is adapted to be located at, and restrain movement of, at least one spring clip deflectable tongue of the conductor support. The spring clip is mountable to a spine of the conductor support. The closure section extends from the first restraining section. The closure section extends outward from the first restraining section a majority of its length.
Claims21
A combined safety clip and closure device for a conductor support, the combined safety clip and closure comprising:
- a first restraining section adapted to be located at, and restrain movement of, at least one spring clip deflectable tongue of the conductor support, the spring clip being mountable to a spine of the conductor support;
- and
- at least one closure section extending from the first restraining section, the at least one closure section extending outward from the first restraining section a majority of length of the combine safety clip and closure device.
A closure device for closing an entrance into a conductor bearer element for an elongate conductor, the closure device comprising:
- a center section;
- and
- a connecting system comprising a main connector and at least one outer end connector with at least a portion of the center section being located therebetween,
- wherein the main connector is adapted to connect to a spine mount of the bearer element, and wherein the outer end connector is adapted to adjustably connect to an outer end of a cantilevered arm of the bearer element.
A method of connecting an elongate conductor bearer element to a spine in an elongate conductor support system comprising steps of:
- connecting a main connection section of the bearer element to the spine;
- and
- connecting a closure device to the bearer element comprising:
- mounting a safety clip section of the closure device at top ends of tongues of the main connection section, and
- covering a majority of a length of a top side opening into a conductor receiving area of the bearer element by a portion of the closure device.
