Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 175 words
A holding assembly formed of plastic connecting and holding cable, pipe, or similar elongated elements to a subjacent support surface, said assembly comprising: a fastening element having means for permitting it to be connected to a subjacent support surface; a holding element for connection to the cable, pipe, or similar element to be held; and, connecting means joining said fastening element to said holding element, said connecting means including an elongated rod-like member having a longitudinal axis and resilient members defining an opening which resiliently grip around the rod-like member while permitting the rod-like member to be selectively moved longitudinally of its axis or rotated about its axis to thereby permit said holding element to be selectively positioned relative to said fastening element, said connecting means further including an intermediate element positioned between said fastening element and said holding element, said intermediate element being connected to said fastening element by an elongated member which is resiliently gripped by a socket to allow selective adjustment in the spacing between said fastening element and said holding element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 175 words
A holding assembly formed of plastic connecting and holding cable, pipe, or similar elongated elements to a subjacent support surface, said assembly comprising: a fastening element having means for permitting it to be connected to a subjacent support surface; a holding element for connection to the cable, pipe, or similar element to be held; and, connecting means joining said fastening element to said holding element, said connecting means including an elongated rod-like member having a longitudinal axis and resilient members defining an opening which resiliently grip around the rod-like member while permitting the rod-like member to be selectively moved longitudinally of its axis or rotated about its axis to thereby permit said holding element to be selectively positioned relative to said fastening element, said connecting means further including an intermediate element positioned between said fastening element and said holding element, said intermediate element being connected to said fastening element by an elongated member which is resiliently gripped by a socket to allow selective adjustment in the spacing between said fastening element and said holding element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The holding assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein the rod-like member and said resilient members have interengaging teeth.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The holding assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein the holding element includes a concave surface for engaging and supporting cylindrical members.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The holding assembly as defined in claim 3 wherein the concave surface extends parallel to the rod-like member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
The holding assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said intermediate element carries said elongated member and wherein said fastening element includes said socket which receives said elongated member.
