  • Patent number: 11519524
    Abstract: A bracket assembly that secures a cable to a ladder rung with first and second beam flanges extending from a beam web. The bracket assembly includes a bracket and a tether connected to the bracket. The bracket has a rung attachment portion configured to receive the second beam flange and a cable attachment portion extending from the rung attachment portion. The tether has a retention pin. The tether is slidable between an initial position and a latched position. In the latched position, the retention pin moves into engagement with the rung attachment portion to engage the second beam flange thereby latching the ladder rung to the bracket assembly.

  • Patent number: 5802672
    Abstract: Device for enclosing an end of a wiring duct raceway including an end panel, a covering section and an anti-rotation mechanism. The end panel is adapted to cover the end of the raceway. However, the covering section extends from a portion of the edge of the end panel and has a cross-section slightly larger than the cross-section of the raceway. In order to prevent disengagement from the raceway, the anti-rotation mechanism uses a latching mechanism, while depending from the covering section.
