Abstract

A bracket assembly is disclosed to secure a cable bundle to a ladder rung. The bracket assembly includes a metal bracket and protective grommets. The metal bracket has a first member, side walls and second members. The first member of the metal bracket is parallel to the second members of the metal bracket. The protective grommets are secured to the metal bracket. The protective grommets have a base member, sleeves extending from the base member, a side member and a bottom member. The assembled metal bracket and protective grommets receive the ladder rung and the sleeves of the protective grommets wrap around the cable bundle positioned on the ladder rung to secure the cable bundle.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A bracket assembly for securing a cable bundle to a ladder rung, the bracket assembly comprising:
a metal bracket having a first member and a second member; and
a protective grommet secured to the metal bracket, wherein the protective grommet having a base member and sleeves extending from the base member;
wherein the protective grommet comprising a locking feature extending from a backside of the base member of the grommet, the locking feature engages the metal bracket to secure the bracket assembly, wherein the locking feature comprising two L shaped flanges that create a channel for receiving the second member of the metal bracket;
whereby the first member of the metal bracket engages the ladder rung and the second member of the metal bracket engages the protective grommet.

2. The bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein the sleeves of the protective grommet wrap around the cable bundle to secure the cable bundle.

3. The bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first member of the metal bracket having a distal end with a curved flange, wherein the curved flange hooks around a flange of the ladder rung.

4. The bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second member of the metal bracket having a distal end with an outwardly extending flange.

5. A bracket assembly for securing a cable bundle to a ladder rung, the bracket assembly comprising:
a metal bracket having a first member and a second member; and
a protective grommet secured to the metal bracket, wherein the protective grommet having a base member and sleeves extending from the base member;
wherein the protective grommet further comprising flanges extending from a back side of the sleeves, the flanges receive metal locking ties when the sleeves of the protective grommets are positioned around the cable bundle;
whereby the first member of the metal bracket engages the ladder rung and the second member of the metal bracket engages the protective grommet.

6. The bracket assembly of claim 5 , wherein the first member of the metal bracket having a distal end with a curved flange, wherein the curved flange hooks around a flange of the ladder rung.

7. The bracket assembly of claim 5 , wherein the second member of the metal bracket having a distal end with an outwardly extending flange.

8. A bracket assembly for securing a cable bundle to a ladder rung, the bracket assembly comprising:
a metal bracket having a first member and a second member; and
a protective grommet secured to the metal bracket, wherein the protective grommet having a base member and sleeves extending from the base member; wherein the protective grommet further comprising flanges extending from a back side of the sleeves, the flanges receive a strap and buckle to secure the cable bundle;
whereby the first member of the metal bracket engages the ladder rung and the second member of the metal bracket engages the protective grommet.

9. The bracket assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first member of the metal bracket having a distal end with a curved flange, wherein the curved flange hooks around a flange of the ladder rung.

10. The bracket assembly of claim 8 , wherein the second member of the metal bracket having a distal end with an outwardly extending flange.
