Cable clamping device

Abstract

Abstract An improved cable clamping device which is suitably adapted to hold and support long hanging electrical cables which extend through a continuous shaft between floors of a high-rise building wherein substantially identical members each including an arcuate portion having flanges at opposite ends and a leg depending from the arcuate portion being first angled outwardly and then downwardly substantially parallel to the flanges and each of the flanges has a boss formed therein with an aperture passing through the boss, preferably with one of the apertures being threaded and the other aperture carrying a captive bolt so that with the arcuate portions positioned about the cable tightening of the two bolts presented on opposite sides forms the assembly whereby the downwardly depending legs rest on a floor and firmly hold and support the cable against descention in the shaft. An alternative simplified form may be provided with the leg extending outwardly at a right angle and then only a slight drop downwardly so that the device can rest on a floor or the top of a conduit piece extending between floors.
