Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A one piEce cable hanger and clamp of plastic material for mounting and supporting a bundle of one or more elements in position on a surface having an aperture, said hanger and clamp comprising a band for encircling the bundle and means for clamping the band about the bundle and securing the clamped bundle on said surface, said clamping and securing means including a resilient support having at least one yieldable free end, a web connecting the support to the band, and a prong having a yieldable wing adapted to pass through said aperture, said free end and wing being adapted to bear against opposed sides of the mounting surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A one piEce cable hanger and clamp of plastic material for mounting and supporting a bundle of one or more elements in position on a surface having an aperture, said hanger and clamp comprising a band for encircling the bundle and means for clamping the band about the bundle and securing the clamped bundle on said surface, said clamping and securing means including a resilient support having at least one yieldable free end, a web connecting the support to the band, and a prong having a yieldable wing adapted to pass through said aperture, said free end and wing being adapted to bear against opposed sides of the mounting surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
110 words
A one piEce cable hanger and clamp of plastic material for mounting and supporting a bundle of one or more elements in position on a surface having an aperture, said hanger and clamp comprising a band for encircling the bundle and means for clamping the band about the bundle and securing the clamped bundle on said surface, said clamping and securing means including a resilient support having at least one yieldable free end, a web connecting the support to the band, and a prong having a yieldable wing adapted to pass through said aperture, said free end and wing being adapted to bear against opposed sides of the mounting surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
110 words
A one piEce cable hanger and clamp of plastic material for mounting and supporting a bundle of one or more elements in position on a surface having an aperture, said hanger and clamp comprising a band for encircling the bundle and means for clamping the band about the bundle and securing the clamped bundle on said surface, said clamping and securing means including a resilient support having at least one yieldable free end, a web connecting the support to the band, and a prong having a yieldable wing adapted to pass through said aperture, said free end and wing being adapted to bear against opposed sides of the mounting surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The cable hanger and clamp recited in claim 1, wherein the clamping and securing means is disposed angularly to the band.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The cable hanger and clamp recited in claim 1, wherein the free end of the support has a leg extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the band.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The cable hanger and clamp recited in claim 1, wherein the band comprises a reinforced base portion having apertures therein and a strap portion more flexible than the base portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
137 words
A one piece cable hanger and clamp of plastic material for mounting and supporting a bundle of one or more elements in position on a surface having an aperture, said hanger and clamp comprising an apertured band for encircling the bundle and means for clamping the band about the bundle and securing the clamped bundle on said surface, said clamping and securing means including a resilient support having at least one yieldable free end, a web connecting the support to the band, a prong having a yieldable wing adapted to pass through said mounting surface and band apertures, said free end and wing being adapted to bear against opposed sides of the mounting surface, and cooperating means in the prong and said band aperture to inhibit twisting of the band relative to the clamping and securing means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
137 words
A one piece cable hanger and clamp of plastic material for mounting and supporting a bundle of one or more elements in position on a surface having an aperture, said hanger and clamp comprising an apertured band for encircling the bundle and means for clamping the band about the bundle and securing the clamped bundle on said surface, said clamping and securing means including a resilient support having at least one yieldable free end, a web connecting the support to the band, a prong having a yieldable wing adapted to pass through said mounting surface and band apertures, said free end and wing being adapted to bear against opposed sides of the mounting surface, and cooperating means in the prong and said band aperture to inhibit twisting of the band relative to the clamping and securing means.
