  • Patent number: 11808292
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a structural fastener includes a threaded rod coupler. The threaded rod coupler includes a split nut for coupling to the threaded rod. The threaded rod coupler further includes a housing connected to the structure coupler. The split nut may be received in the housing. The threaded rod coupler further includes first and second springs each coupled to and biasing corresponding one of first and second nut portions of the split nut toward one another. The present disclosure further provides a method of attaching a threaded rod to a structural component using a structural fastener. The method includes coupling a structural fastener to the structural component, sliding the threaded rod through a split nut of the structural component couple the rod to the structural fastener, and receiving springs secured in a nut arm of the split nut within a housing of the structural fastener.

  • Publication number: 20230291188
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a splice plate including a planar body, first and second pairs of opposing side walls, and a pair of tabs. The first pair of opposing side walls define two parallel slots with one slot engaging a first wire of a first cable tray section and a second slot engaging a first wire of a second cable tray section. The second pair of opposing side walls define at least one slot. A side wall of one of the second pair of opposing side walls engages a second wire of the first cable tray. A side wall of the other of the second pair of opposing side walls engages a second wire of the second cable tray section. One tab of the pair of tabs engages the first wire of the first cable tray section and a second tab engages the second cable tray section’s first wire.

  • Publication number: 20230231367
    Abstract: A cable tray assembly includes first and second cable tray sections. Each cable tray section included a rail including a vertical web, an upper flange, and a lower flange. Each upper flange includes an outboard portion having a downwardly extending tab forming a groove extending along the upper flange. A splice plate assembly connects the first and second cable tray sections. The splice plate assembly includes a first splice plate configured to be retained in the groove extending along the upper flange of the first cable tray section. A second splice plate is configured to be retained in the groove extending along the upper flange of the second cable tray section. The first and second splice plates each define a fastener opening. The fastener openings are alignable with one another and configured to receive a fastener to connect the first and second cable tray sections when the splice plates are attached to the respective cable tray sections.

  • Publication number: 20230216282
    Abstract: A cable tray including a pair of generally parallel spaced-apart side rails, each side rail defining a plurality of openings. Rungs extend between the rails at intervals spaced along the rails. Each rung includes at least two side walls. Each rung has opposite open ends generally aligned with respective openings in the side rails. End portions of each rung define a transverse opening. A plurality of snap plug fasteners fastens the rungs to the side rails. Each snap plug fastener includes a main body abutting an outboard surface of one of the side rails. A projection extends through one of the openings in the side rail and into one of the open ends of one of the rungs. The projection includes a barb received in one of the transverse openings in the rung.

  • Patent number: 11661759
    Abstract: An attachment device for securing a non-structural component of a building to a structural component of the building includes a non-structural component holder defining a receiving space configured to receive the non-structural component to couple the non-structural component to the attachment device. The non-structural component holder applies generally no compressive force against the non-structural component when the non-structural component is disposed in the receiving space so that the non-structural component is free to move relative to the non-structural component holder. A stop is configured to be secured to the non-structural component. The stop is configured to engage the non-structural component holder to inhibit movement of the non-structural component relative to the non-structural component holder when the stop and non-structural component holder are secured to the non-structural component.

  • Patent number: 11594866
    Abstract: A barrier strip for a cable tray of the type including longitudinal wires and lateral wires interconnecting the longitudinal wires includes a vertical wall extending along a length of the barrier strip. A tray coupler is below the vertical wall. The tray coupler couples to one or more of the longitudinal and lateral wires of the cable tray without the use of additional fasteners.
