Abstract
Abstract A cable hanger for banding and supporting a cable run which includes an elongate planar channel member having a bottom wall and two sidewalls. Two apertures are disposed centrally in the bottom wall of the channel member and the wall portion between the apertures is raised above the remaining bottom wall surface to provide a tunnel through which the band passes as it extends through the channel and around the cables to be secured. Partable hanger attachment means are secured to the raised portion of the bottom wall out of interference with the band and can thus support the channel member along its vertical axis. A compound bend is provided in the sidewalls of the channel member to reinforce the sidewalls.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
0A hanger for compressively banding and supporting a cable run comprising; an elongate planer channel member defined by a planer bottom wall and two sidewalls projecting from said bottom wall, said member being adapted to extend transversely to the length of the cable run and having its bottom wall surface opposite said sidewalls adapted to supportably engage cables of the run, at least two apertures in said bottom wall surface extending between said sidewalls and transversely to the long axis of said bottom wall, partable hanger attachment means secured at one end by the stud end welding technique to said bottom wall between said sidewalls and said apertures of said channel member, and band-securing means extending axially through at least a portion of said channel by way of at least one of said apertures to compressively band the cables of said run whereby the hanger may be supported through the vertical axis of the hanger by the partable hanger means without interference with the band-securing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The hanger of claim 1 in which the bottom wall between said apertures is displaced in the direction of said sidewalls to provide a tunnel through which the band-securing means may pass beneath the partable hanger attachment means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The hanger of claim 1 in which the sidewalls of said channel member include a compound bend therein to reinforce the sidewalls.
