Abstract

An assembly includes: a mounting structure including a mounting hole; a cable hanger having two arms with locking projections, the locking projections inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting structure, and the arms defining a space for engaging a cable; and a support for maintaining the mounting of the cable hanger in the mounting structure, the support including a main panel and first and second fingers extending in a direction away from the main panel. The second finger is inserted between the arms of the cable hanger, and the first finger is positioned laterally of one of the arms.

Claims (20)

1. An assembly comprising:

a mounting structure including a mounting hole;

a cable hanger having two arms with locking projections, the locking projections inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting structure, and the arms defining a space for engaging a cable; and

a support for maintaining the mounting of the cable hanger in the mounting structure, the support including a main panel and first and second fingers extending in a direction away from the main panel;

wherein the second finger is inserted between the arms of the cable hanger, and the first finger is positioned laterally of one of the arms; and

wherein the first finger is bent to a shallow V-shaped profile.

2. The assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein the support further comprises a third finger extending away from the main panel in the same direction as the first and second fingers.

3. The assembly defined in claim 2 , wherein the first and third fingers are substantially coplanar.

4. The assembly defined in claim 2 , wherein the first and third fingers have substantially identical profiles as they extend away from the main panel.

5. The assembly defined in claim 1 , wherein the second finger is bent to a shallow V-shaped profile in an opposite direction to that of the first finger.

6. A method of stabilizing a mounted cable hanger, comprising:

providing a cable hanger mounted on a mounting structure, the cable hanger having two arms with locking projections, the locking projections inserted into a mounting hole of the mounting structure, and the arms defining a space for engaging a cable;

providing a support including a main panel and first and second fingers extending in a direction away from the main panel, wherein the first finger is bent to a shallow V-shaped profile; and

inserting the second finger of the support between the arms of the cable hanger such that the first finger is positioned adjacent to but lateral of one of the arms.

7. The method defined in claim 6 , wherein a cable is mounted in the space defined by the arms of the cable hanger.

8. The method defined in claim 6 , wherein the mounting structure is a leg of an antenna tower.

9. The method defined in claim 6 , wherein the support further comprises a third finger extending away from the main panel in the same direction as the first and second fingers.

10. The method defined in claim 9 , wherein the first and third fingers are substantially coplanar.

11. The method defined in claim 9 , wherein the first and third fingers have substantially identical profiles as they extend away from the main panel.

12. The method defined in claim 6 , wherein the second finger is bent to a shallow V-shaped profile in an opposite direction to that of the first finger.
