Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein are improved support systems for electrical cabling, piping, and the like for fast-on, fast-off, non-twist connection to spaced studs projecting from a support wall, bulkhead, etc. Three embodiments are disclosed, one of which uses coupling nuts having on one end an internally threaded bore to mate with threads on the stud, and on the other end, an integral stud extension having external reverse threads which mate with a threaded socket member secured to a clamp assembly. Other embodiments utilize means for rigidly securing the cabling, piping, or the like to spaced studs supported from a support member. A unique means is also disclosed for clamping the material, such as cabling, piping, or the like, in place.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A hanger assembly for supporting cabling, piping, or the like, comprising: a stud securable at one end to a support member, the opposite end of the stud including an externally threaded portion, an internally threaded socket securable to a clamp, and a coupling nut having (1) an internally threaded bore mating with the threads on the stud, and (2) an integral stud extension having external reverse threads mating with the internal threads of the internally threaded socket so that when the coupling nut is rotated to thread it onto the stud, the socket is simultaneously threaded onto the stud extension of the coupling nut.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A hanger assembly for supporting cabling, piping, or the like, comprising: a stud securable at one end to a support member, the opposite end of the stud including an externally threaded portion, an internally threaded socket securable to a clamp, and a coupling nut having (1) an internally threaded bore mating with the threads on the stud, and (2) an integral stud extension having external reverse threads mating with the internal threads of the internally threaded socket so that when the coupling nut is rotated to thread it onto the stud, the socket is simultaneously threaded onto the stud extension of the coupling nut.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
75 words
The assembly of claim 1 wherein the internal threads on the coupling nut are spaced from the terminal end of the bore of the coupling nut to provide means for aligning the threads on the coupling nut with those of the stud, and wherein the internal threads on the socket are spaced from the terminal end thereof to align the threads on the socket with the threads on the stud extension of the coupling nut.
