Abstract
A cable clamp for an electrical cable, comprising a first member and a second member that can cooperatively retain a cable between them; wherein the first member has been formed by extrusion in the general axial direction of a cable as it is to be retained in the clamp, at least a portion of the axial cross-section of the first member comprising a receiving part having a curved shape within which a portion of the cable is to be located, and a flange extending from either side of the receiving part; and the second member is attachable at either end to a flange of the first member so as to retain the cable within the receiving part of the first member.

A cable clamp for an electrical cable, comprising:
- a first member and a second member configured to cooperatively retain a cable between them;
- wherein
- the first member has been formed by extrusion in the general axial direction of a cable as it is to be retained in the clamp to produce a constant axial cross-section of the first member, at least a portion of the axial cross-section of the first member comprising a receiving part having a curved shape within which a portion of the cable is to be located, and a flange extending from either side of the receiving part;
- the second member is attachable at either end to a flange of the first member so as be configured to retain the cable within the receiving part of the first member, wherein the first member is in the form of a saddle that is curved in a plane that is parallel to the general axial direction of the cable;
- and
- wherein the length of the first member is longer in the general axial direction of the cable than the length of the second member in the general axial direction of the cable and wherein the flange extends along the entire length of the first member.
A cable clamp for an electrical cable, comprising:
- a first member and a second member configured to cooperatively retain a cable between them;
- wherein
- the first member has been formed by extrusion in the general axial direction of a cable as it is to be retained in the clamp, at least a portion of the axial cross-section of the first member comprising a receiving part having a curved shape within which a portion of the cable is to be located, and a pair of flanges extending from opposing sides of the receiving part and extending in the axial direction along the opposing sides of the receiving part, wherein the pair of flanges have lengths in the axial direction that are the same;
- and
- the second member has opposed ends that are attachable to the flanges of the first member so as to be configured to retain the cable within the receiving part of the first member.
A cable clamp for an electrical cable, comprising:
- a first member and a second member configured to cooperatively retain a cable between them;
- wherein
- the first member has been formed by extrusion in the general axial direction of a cable as it is to be retained in the clamp, at least a portion of the axial cross-section of the first member comprising a receiving part having a curved shape forming a concave top side configured to receive a portion of the cable and a convex bottom side opposite the top side, a pair of elongated flanges extending from opposing left and right sides of the receiving part, and an elongated rib extending from the bottom side of the receiving part in a direction perpendicular to the flanges, wherein the pair of flanges and the rib are elongated in the axial direction and extend along the left, right, and bottom sides of the receiving part in the axial direction;
- and
- the second member has opposed ends that are attachable to the flanges of the first member so as to be configured to retain the cable within the receiving part of the first member.
