Abstract

Claims (73)

1 . A wire clamp comprising:

a bottom piece comprising:

a first base portion defining a first aperture;

a first barrier extending from the first base portion, the first barrier being curved around and spaced from the first aperture; and

at least one first leg extending from a first side of the base portion;

a top piece comprising a second base portion, the top piece defining a second aperture; and

a fastener,

wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are configured to align and receive the fastener therethrough, thereby securing the top piece to the bottom piece, and

wherein the first barrier and the at least one first leg define a first wire channel.

2 . The wire clamp of claim 1 , wherein the first wire channel is further defined by the second base portion.

3 . The wire clamp of claim 1 , wherein the top piece further comprises at least one first flange extending from a first side of the second base portion.

4 . The wire clamp of claim 3 , wherein the top piece is configured, such that, when the top piece is secured to the bottom piece, a force applied to the at least one first flange displaces the first side of the second base portion to allow a wire to be placed within the first wire channel.

5 . The wire clamp of claim 1 , wherein the bottom piece further comprises:

a second barrier extending from the first base portion, the second barrier being curved around and spaced from the first aperture; and

at least one second leg extending from a second side of the base portion,

wherein the second side of the base portion opposes the first side of the base portion, and

wherein the second barrier and the at least one second leg define a second wire channel.

6 . The wire clamp of claim 5 , wherein the first barrier and the second barrier are symmetrical about the first aperture, thereby defining an at least partially elliptical barrier.

7 . The wire clamp of claim 5 , wherein the second wire channel is further defined by the second base portion.

8 . The wire clamp of claim 5 , wherein the top piece further comprises a protrusion extending from the second base portion,

wherein the protrusion defines the second aperture, and

wherein the protrusion is configured to be at least partially received between the first barrier and the second barrier.

9 . The wire clamp of claim 8 , wherein the protrusion defines at least one hole,

wherein the bottom piece further comprises at least one post, and

wherein the at least one post is configured to be received within the at least one hole.

10 . The wire clamp of claim 5 , wherein the top piece further comprises:

at least one first flange extending from a first side of the second base portion; and

at least one second flange extending from a second side of the second base portion, and

wherein the second side of the second base portion opposes the first side of the second base portion.

11 . The wire clamp of claim 10 , wherein the top piece is configured, such that, when the top piece is secured to the bottom piece, a force applied to the at least one first flange displaces the first side of the second base portion to allow a wire to be placed within the first wire channel, and

wherein the top piece is configured, such that, when the top piece is secured to the bottom piece, a force applied to the at least one second flange displaces the second side of the second base portion to allow a wire to be placed within the second wire channel.

12 . A wire clamp comprising:

a bottom piece comprising:

a first base portion defining a first aperture;

a first barrier extending from the first base portion, the first barrier being curved around and spaced from the first aperture;

a second barrier extending from the first base portion, the second barrier being curved around and spaced from the first aperture; and

a plurality of legs extending from sides of the first base portion;

a top piece defining a second aperture, the top piece comprising:

a second base portion; and

a plurality of flanges extending from sides of the second base portion; and

a fastener,

wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are configured to align and receive the fastener therethrough, thereby securing the top piece to the bottom piece,

wherein each of the plurality of legs correspond to one of the plurality of flanges,

wherein the first barrier and a first portion of the plurality of legs define a first wire channel, and

wherein the second barrier and a second portion of the plurality of legs define a second wire channel.

13 . The wire clamp of claim 12 , wherein the first wire channel and the second wire channel are further defined by the second base portion.

14 . The wire clamp of claim 12 , wherein the top piece is configured, such that, when the top piece is secured to the bottom piece, a force applied to at least one of the plurality of flanges displaces the second base portion to allow a wire to be placed within the first wire channel or the second wire channel.

15 . The wire clamp of claim 14 , wherein a portion of each of the plurality of flanges extends away from the corresponding leg of the plurality of legs.

16 . The wire clamp of claim 15 , wherein the first portion of the plurality of legs comprise a first leg and a second leg,

wherein the second portion of the plurality of legs comprise a third leg and a fourth leg,

wherein the first portion of the plurality of legs extend from a first side of the first base portion,

wherein the second portion of the plurality of legs extend from a second side of the first base portion,

wherein the second side of the first base portion is opposite the first side of the first base portion, and

wherein the plurality of flanges comprises four flanges, each corresponding to one leg of the plurality of legs.

17 . A wire routing system comprising:

a wire clamp comprising:

a bottom piece comprising:

a first base portion defining a first aperture;

a first barrier extending from the first base portion, the first barrier being curved around and spaced from the first aperture;

a second barrier extending from the first base portion, the second barrier being curved around and spaced from the first aperture; and

at least two legs, a first leg extending from a first side of the first base portion, and a second leg extending from a second side of the first base portion;

a top piece defining a second aperture, the top piece comprising:

a second base portion; and

at least two flanges, a first flange extending from a first side of the second base portion, and a second flange extending from a second side of the second base portion;

a rail configured to define a third aperture; and

a fastener,

wherein the first aperture, the second aperture, and the third aperture are configured to be aligned and to receive the fastener therethrough, thereby securing the top piece to the bottom piece and mounting the wire clamp to the rail,

wherein the first barrier and a first portion of the at least two legs define a first wire channel, and

wherein the second barrier and a second portion of the at least two legs define a second wire channel.

18 . The wire routing system of claim 17 , wherein the fastener is a self-tapping fastener that is configured to define the third aperture in the rail.

19 . The wire routing system of claim 17 , wherein the top piece is configured, such that, when the top piece is secured to the bottom piece, a force applied to one of the at least two flanges displaces the second base portion to allow a wire to be placed within the first wire channel or the second wire channel.

20 . The wire routing system of claim 19 , wherein the at least two legs comprise four legs, two legs extending from the first side of the first base portion and two legs extending from the second side of the first base portion, and
