摘要 |
The invention contemplates a unitary cable-clamp fitting adapted for clamped above-ground suspension of a cable from a telephone pole or the like. The fitting comprises two elongate side panels integrally connected by an elongate single bend, establishing an initially acute angle between the side panels. The outer longitudinal edge of each panel is characterized by an elongate flange bent inward and generally toward the opposed side panel, at an acute angle to its associated side panel. The initial space between flanges is slightly less than the cable diameter to be accommodated, so that cable assembly and loose retention are achieved via snap-action insertion between the flanges. Bolts spanning aligned apertures in the side panels enable secure clamping to, and lug-retention against loss of, an inserted cable.
