Abstract
Abstract A wireway device including a bracket having two portions at right angles and an interconnecting portion, the two portions having side flanges and flat central parts between the side flanges, one of the central parts including an opening receiving a fastener holding the bracket to a square tube or a bulkhead, the other portion having spaced slots for receiving straps in holding objects to the bracket, the interconnecting portion having two ribs the outer portions of which form continuations of the side flanges, and a central opening between the central parts of the right angle portions of the bracket. The bracket support may include a square tube received between the flanges of the bracket and apertured to receive fasteners for securing the bracket to the tube.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A supporting device comprising a bracket adapted for attachment to a structural element, said bracket including a first portion, a second portion at an angle to said first portion, each of said first and second portions including a central portion and a flange at either side edge of said central portion, said flanges extending from the same side of said central portion, and, a third portion interconnecting said first and second portions, said third portion including rib means extending between said first and second portions, said rib means including two spaced ribs positioned one at either side of saiD bracket, a portion of said rib means forming a continuation of said flanges of said first and second portions, said central portions of said first and second portions having adjacent ends lying spaced from each other to define an opening through said third portion intermediate and extending to said ribs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A supporting device comprising a bracket adapted for attachment to a structural element, said bracket including a first portion, a second portion at an angle to said first portion, each of said first and second portions including a central portion and a flange at either side edge of said central portion, said flanges extending from the same side of said central portion, and, a third portion interconnecting said first and second portions, said third portion including rib means extending between said first and second portions, said rib means including two spaced ribs positioned one at either side of saiD bracket, a portion of said rib means forming a continuation of said flanges of said first and second portions, said central portions of said first and second portions having adjacent ends lying spaced from each other to define an opening through said third portion intermediate and extending to said ribs.

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
58 words
A device as recited in claim 1 including in addition a support post having spaced parallel side surfaces and a flat interconnecting surface between said side surfaces, said central portion of said first portion overlying said interconnecting surface, said flanges of said first portion overlying said side surfaces, and means connecting said first portion to said support post.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
58 words
A device as recited in claim 8 in which said support post includes a length of square tubing having at least one opening extending through opposite walls thereof, said first portion having an opening through said central portion thereof, and said connecting means includes a fastener extending through said openings in said central portion and said opposite walls.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
102 words
A device as recited in claim 9 including in addition a relatively short section of square tubing shorter than said length of square tubing, one end portion of said relatively short section of square tubing being substantially complementarily received in one end portion of said length of square tubing, and the opposite end portion of said relatively short section of square tubing projecting outwardly beyond said end portion of said length of square tubing for attachment to an adjacent structure, and fastener means connecting said one end portion of said relatively short section of square tubing to said length of square tubing.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
44 words
A device as recited in claim 10 said relatively short section is of steel for facilitating attachment thereof by welding to a steel supporting structure, and said length of square tubing is of aluminum alloy for providing the same with a relatively low weight.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
