Abstract
A thermal expansion and contraction system secures cables to a ladder rung. The thermal expansion and contraction system includes a cable grip secured to the ladder rung. The cable grip includes a protective grommet for holding cables to the ladder rung, a metal plate and wire forms to secure the protective grommet to the metal plate. The thermal expansion and contraction system also includes a cable divider secured to the ladder rung to maintaining separation of cables and a cable containment clamp secured to the ladder rung.
Claims24
A thermal expansion and contraction system for securing cables to a ladder rung, the thermal expansion and contraction system comprising:
- at least one cable grip secured to the ladder rung, the at least one cable grip including a protective grommet for holding the cables to the ladder rung, a metal plate and wire forms for securing the protective grommet to the metal plate;
- wherein the metal plate includes a main body with downwardly extending sides and a plurality of slots extending through the downwardly extending sides.
A thermal expansion and contraction system for securing cables to a ladder rung, the thermal expansion and contraction system comprising:
- at least one cable grip secured to the ladder rung, the at least one cable grip including a protective grommet for holding the cables to the ladder rung, a metal plate and wire forms for securing the protective grommet to the metal plate, and
- at least one cable divider secured to the ladder rung for maintaining separation of cables in the thermal expansion and contraction system, wherein the at least one cable divider having a C-shaped bracket with a main member, side members and curved ends;
- wherein the at least one cable divider having a plurality of spacer mounts and cable spacers mounted to and extending from the C-shaped bracket.
A thermal expansion and contraction system for securing cables to a ladder rung, the thermal expansion and contraction system comprising:
- at least one cable grip secured to the ladder rung, the at least one cable grip including a protective grommet for holding the cables to the ladder rung, a metal plate and wire forms for securing the protective grommet to the metal plate;
- at least one cable containment clamp secured to the ladder rung, wherein the cable containment clamp includes a protective grommet, a wire form and a spacer, whereby the at least one cable containment clamp holds the cables to the ladder rung while enabling movement in a vertical direction;
- and
- wherein the cable containment clamp is a single position cable containment clamp with a spacer installed on the leg of each wire form, whereby the spacer is perpendicular to the ladder rung.
A thermal expansion and contraction system for securing cables to a ladder rung, the thermal expansion and contraction system comprising:
- at least one cable grip secured to the ladder rung, the at least one cable grip including a protective grommet for holding the cables to the ladder rung, a metal plate and wire forms for securing the protective grommet to the metal plate;
- at least one cable containment clamp secured to the ladder rung, wherein the cable containment clamp includes a protective grommet, a wire form and a spacer, whereby the at least one cable containment clamp holds the cables to the ladder rung while enabling movement in a vertical direction;
- and
- wherein the cable containment clamp is a multiple position cable containment clamp with spacers installed on the legs of adjacent wire forms, whereby each spacer is parallel to the ladder rung.
