Abstract: The anchor comprises a tubular plastic post having an abutment at one end and a mounting element at the other end. In the post is a pair of deflectable integral tabs that are substantially parallel. Each tab has a shoulder. A spring is disposed in the base between the abutment and the shoulders. The spring is inserted by deflecting the tabs outwardly until the spring passes the shoulders, whereupon the tabs snap back to a position precluding retrograde movement of the spring.

Abstract: A versatile unitary electrode splice cap for insulating and weatherproofing the splice connection between a neon tube electrode and its associated power cable in a neon sign system. The cap is useful both in "straight-on" and "double-back" installations.

Abstract: A supporting assembly for energized tubing includes an elevated post joined to pairs of oppositely facing and laterally spaced apart upper and lower generally C-shaped clamp arms at its top end and to a base at its bottom end. A retainer member is connected to the base and includes a latch element engageable with catch elements on the base and which serve to both limit angular displacement of the base, post and clamp arms while temporarily alternately locking them in either an open or closed position. In the open position, a cable may be inserted between the spaced apart lower clamp arms and a larger diameter portion of tubing inserted between the spaced apart upper clamp arms. Thence, by angularly displacing the post and arms substantially 90 degrees, the pairs of clamp arms are moved into firm engagement with the tubing while captivating the cable therebeneath.
