Abstract

An insert for mounting multiple cables in a cable hanger includes: a gripping portion configured to engage multiple cables; and a wrapping portion attached to the gripping portion and configured to wrap around the gripping portion as it receives cables.

Claims (23)

1. A device for mounting one or more cables, comprising:

a strip having a flat section and an undulating portion, the undulating portion comprising a plurality of undulations, each of the undulations extending in a direction above the strip when the strip is disposed in a flat condition;

a hook attached to one end of the strip;

a plurality of slots in the strip;

wherein the strip is configured to be formed into a closed loop, the hook being inserted into one of the plurality of slots to secure the strip into the form of a closed loop;

wherein the device is formed as a unitary member and of a polymeric material; and

wherein the flat section and the undulating portion are of uniform width.

2. The device defined in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of slots are positioned in the flat section of the strip.

3. The device defined in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the undulations are located within the closed loop.

4. The device defined in claim 3 , wherein all of the plurality of undulations are located within the closed loop.

5. The device defined in claim 4 , wherein a portion of the flat section forms part of the closed loop.

6. The device defined in claim 1 , wherein the hook extends generally perpendicularly to the flat section.

7. The device defined in claim 1 , wherein the undulations extend in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the flat section.

8. The device defined in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of slots are positioned in the flat section of the strip.

9. A device for mounting one or more cables, comprising:

a strip having a flat section and an undulating portion, the undulating portion comprising a plurality of undulations that extend generally perpendicularly to the flat section in a direction above the strip when the strip is disposed in a flat condition;

a hook attached to the strip;

a plurality of slots in the strip;

wherein the strip is configured to be formed into a closed loop, the hook being inserted into one of the plurality of slots to secure the strip into the form of a closed loop, wherein all of the plurality of undulations are located within the closed loop; and

wherein the device is formed as a unitary member and of a polymeric material; and

wherein the flat section and the undulating portion are of uniform width.

10. The device defined in claim 9 , wherein a portion of the flat section forms part of the closed loop.

11. The device defined in claim 9 , wherein the hook extends generally perpendicularly to the flat section.
