Cable Bracket

Abstract

A cable bracket may be stamped from sheet material and folded to form a generally rectangular cable bracket suitable for attachment to, or within a wall or other construction space. The cable bracket may releasable secure multiple cables and or conduits. Two or more spring elements may be formed in the bracket to control and secure the cables within the bracket. A cable bracket may be secured to a metal, wood or concrete building element using any suitable fastener such as screws, nails, rivets and or bolts.

1 . A device for supporting cables comprising:
 a generally c-shaped bracket frame having an attachment leg, a support leg extending from the attachment leg, a free leg extending from the support leg and an open side;   an attachment flange secured to the attachment leg of the bracket frame to secure the bracket frame in an orientation having the open side up above the support leg;   a first spring arm extending from the attachment leg and inclined to urge any supported cable toward the free leg;   a second spring arm extending from the support leg and inclined to urge any supported cable toward the open side;   a top arm secured to the support leg and extending from the support leg across the open side and operable to removably engage the free leg and enclose a cable space.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 an extension tab extending from the attachment flange beyond a perpendicular plane that includes the top arm. 
 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a clamp secured to the extension tab for supporting the bracket frame. 
 
     
     
         4 . A device for supporting cables comprising:
 a generally planar piece of metal stock cut to form at least two generally planar c-shaped bracket frames, each bracket frame having:
 an attachment leg, a support leg extending from the attachment leg, a free leg extending from the support leg, and an open side, the free leg having an unconnected distal end; 
 an attachment flange folded along a parallel fold line from the attachment leg, the attachment flange folded to be perpendicular to and supporting the at least two generally planar c-shaped bracket frames; 
 a first spring arm folded into a plane perpendicular to the attachment leg and extending from the attachment leg and inclined to urge any supported cable toward the free leg; 
 a second spring arm folded into a plane perpendicular to the support leg and extending from the support leg and inclined to urge any supported cable toward the open side; 
 a latch tab folded into a plane perpendicular to the free leg and extending from the distal end of the free leg; and 
 a top arm secured to the attachment leg and extending from the attachment leg across the open side and operable to removably engage the latch tab on the free leg and enclose a cable space. 
   
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4  further comprising:
 an extension tab folded to be perpendicular to and extending from the attachment flange beyond a perpendicular plane that includes the top arms.
