Abstract

A cable hanger includes: a generally flat base; and first and second opposed arms extending in a first direction from the base; wherein hooks are positioned on free ends of the arms; wherein each of the free ends of the arms has an arcuate cross-section; wherein the arms form a gap configured to receive and grasp a cable; and wherein the cable hanger is a unitary member formed of a polymeric material.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1. A cable hanger, comprising:
a generally flat base with a circular opening;
first and second outer members extending in a first direction from opposite edges of the base;
first and second stops extending inwardly from, respectively, the first and second members;
first and second hooks extending in the first direction from, respectively, inner ends of the first and second stops; and
first and second inner members that extend in the first direction from the base, the first and second inner members forming a gap configured to receive and grasp a cable;
wherein each of the first and second inner members includes an arcuate portion, the arcuate portions forming a pocket for the cable.

2. The cable hanger defined in claim 1 , wherein the first and second inner members extend to meet with inner ends of the first and second stops.

3. The cable hanger defined in claim 1 , wherein a gap is present between the first outer member and first inner member.

4. The cable hanger defined in claim 1 , formed as a unitary member.

5. The cable hanger defined in claim 4 , formed of a polymeric material.

6. A cable hanger, comprising:
a generally flat base with at least one opening;
first and second outer members extending in a first direction from opposite edges of the base;
first and second stops extending inwardly from, respectively, the first and second members;
first and second hooks extending in the first direction from, respectively, inner ends of the first and second stops; and
first and second inner members that extend in the first direction from the base, the first and second inner members forming a gap configured to receive and grasp a cable;
wherein each of the first and second inner members includes an arcuate portion, the arcuate portions forming a pocket for the cable.

7. The cable hanger defined in claim 6 , wherein the first and second inner members extend to meet with inner ends of the first and second stops.

8. The cable hanger defined in claim 6 , wherein a gap is present between the first outer member and first inner member.

9. The cable hanger defined in claim 6 , formed as a unitary member.

10. The cable hanger defined in claim 6 , formed of a polymeric material.

11. The cable hanger defined in claim 6 , wherein the at least one opening includes an arcuate edge.

12. The cable hanger defined in claim 6 , further comprising a cross-beam that divides the at least one opening.

13. A cable hanger, comprising:
a generally flat base with a circular opening, wherein a cross-beam is disposed across the circular opening;
first and second outer members extending in a first direction from opposite edges of the base;
first and second stops extending inwardly from, respectively, the first and second members;
first and second hooks extending in the first direction from, respectively, inner ends of the first and second stops; and
first and second inner members that extend in the first direction from the base, the first and second inner members forming a gap configured to receive and grasp a cable.
