  • Patent number: 12278471
    Abstract: A saddle for supporting elongated bodies such as cables, pipes and the like includes a body with a rectangular or quadrangular section, obtained by coupling two half-saddles. Each half-saddle has an outer portion or shell made from a plastic material and an internal portion or core made from an elastomeric material, on which one or more grooves are defined for housing the elongated bodies and which, when the two half-saddles are coupled, define one or more continuous rings for retaining an elongated body.

  • Patent number: 10927980
    Abstract: A support collar for cables, pipes or the like includes a head portion having a pass-through opening; two side portions extending from the head portion and ending with abutment portions disposed substantially parallel to the head portion and with a coupling element adapted to engage the collar onto a support plate or the head portion of another support collar; and retaining members within the housing area for retaining firmly the cable or pipe. The retaining members include a clip having retaining arms that extend inside the housing area and can be elastically splayed to engage the cable or pipe due to an elastic pressure exerted transversely thereon. Each of the retaining arms cooperates with a flap that extends into the housing area opposite of the retaining arms, so that the flap is abutted against the retaining arm when the cable or pipe is engaged in the clip.

  • Publication number: 20200321761
    Abstract: A gasket for fastening cables, tubes and other elongated bodies having different diameters includes two half-shells joined together by a hinge at their contiguous edges, and diaphragms inside the half-shells. Elastic arms, provided protruding inside the gasket, are fastened to the inner surface of the half-shells. The gasket withholds a cable against axial slipping, increasing contact surface of the gasket on cables having a larger diameter, and pressure exerted on the cable, proportioning it to the dimensions and weight of the cable. This provides for a more reliable and safer anchoring of the cable.

  • Patent number: 10707665
    Abstract: A device for the wall-fixing of elongated bodies, in particular radiating coaxial cables, of the type equipped with a spacer provided with a cable clamp equipped with a lid for supporting an elongated body in a suspended position onto a wall. The spacer of the device has a structure composed of two arms, whose end facing the wall is provided with a corresponding base, whereas the opposite end of the arms carries a base for fixing to the cable clamp. With respect to the known wall-fixing devices of radiating coaxial cables, that according to the invention offers the advantage of having an improved resistance to flexural and torsional stress, also preventing interferences with the metallic part of the wall-fixing system.

  • Patent number: 10707658
    Abstract: A saddle for supporting elongated bodies has a body with a quadrangular section, on the opposite sides of which wedge-inserted coupling members are provided, to couple the saddle with another saddle, so as to have the reciprocal stacking of these saddles on a support. A saddle according to the invention offers the advantage over known saddles of being stacked on previously installed saddles due to the presence of incorporated members which allow their connection, without resorting to the use of tools or similar auxiliary equipment.

  • Patent number: 10411452
    Abstract: A device for fastening of cables includes two saddles to be joined onto a cable and provided with seats for housing the cable, the seats having a plurality of tongues that elastically deform when the saddles are closed around the cable, each of the seats having a rigid frame to which the plurality of elastically deformable tongues is secured and sides directed longitudinally and sides having a curvilinear profile following the semi-circular cross-section of the cable. A row of tongues is fastened, at one end, to the side of the frame, and the free opposed end is raised, in the rest position, towards the interior of the seat for housing the cable. A row of tongues is further provided that is fastened, at their end, to the side of the frame, and the free opposed end is raised, in the rest position, towards the interior of the seat.

  • Patent number: 9866005
    Abstract: A device for fixing elongated bodies to a supporting cable includes a body containing a seat for the supporting cable and a seat for the elongated body, wherein, for the independent closing of the seats, a lid is provided that closes the seat of the supporting cable and a lid that closes the seat of the elongated body. A device according to the invention offers the advantage of not requiring the perfect positioning of the coaxial wire with respect to the supporting cable by having a distinct or separate system for fixing the device onto the coaxial wire and supporting cable, respectively. Another advantage of a device according to the invention lies in its autonomy because it does not require additional elements for consolidating the installation.
