Publication number: 20200408333Abstract: A J-Hook cable support contains a cable-receiving saddle having two ends, with a stem and a tip extending from each end of the saddle. The saddle and the area between the two ends of the saddle form a cable-receiving area. The cable support includes a wire retainer, which is capable of sliding through an opening in the tip of the cable support. By sliding the wire retainer through the slot, the end user may selectively open and close the cable-receiving area. The J-Hook cable support can be part of an assembly comprising one or a plurality of cable supports and a mounting member. The mounting member comprises a vertical member and a horizontal member. The cable supports are fastened to the vertical member. The horizontal member extends at an angle from a distal end of the vertical member and may be used to fasten the mounting member to a structural support.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2019Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventor: Dallas KELLERMAN
