Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors installed in a studding notch, comprising a base section having front and rear edges, a rear panel rigidly connected to the rear edge of said base, a front panel, a means yieldably connecting said front panel to the front edge of said base permitting said front panel to be moved angularly inwardly with respect to said base, a means extending downwardly from said base and projecting rearwardly for penetrating the studding below the notch and retaining the fixture therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors installed in a studding notch, comprising a base section having front and rear edges, a rear panel rigidly connected to the rear edge of said base, a front panel, a means yieldably connecting said front panel to the front edge of said base permitting said front panel to be moved angularly inwardly with respect to said base, a means extending downwardly from said base and projecting rearwardly for penetrating the studding below the notch and retaining the fixture therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in claim 1 in which the rear end of the penetrating means is pointed and the front end of the penetrating means is on the same plane as the front edge of said base.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in claim 1 in which said downwardly extending means has a laterally extending portion elongated from front to rear along said means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in Claim 1 in which said downwardly extending means is joined integrally with the base near the center thereof and projects downwardly at right angles with respect thereto.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in Claim 4 in which said downwardly extending means has a laterally extending portion elongated from front to rear along said means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in claim 4, in which said downwardly extending means is relatively broad from front to rear and relatively thin laterally and contains a rearwardly extending spike-like member near its bottom edge at the lower portion thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in claim 6 in which said spike-like member includes a hook-shaped part near the pointed end thereof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
55 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in claim 1 in which said means yieldably connecting said front panel to the front edge of said base consists of a relatively narrow piece of material joined integrally to said panel and base and being spaced inwardly from the two lateral edges of said front panel.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in claim 8 in which said downwardly extending means is joined integrally with the base near the center thereof and projects downwardly at right angles with respect thereto.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
A fixture for protecting electrical conductors as defined in claim 1 in which said last mentIoned means includes a hook-shaped part near the penetrating end thereof.
