  • Patent number: 6390420
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for securing an electrical wire over a beam. The beam includes a side surface and a top surface that meet at an edge. The method includes providing a clip having a pair of spaced apart legs interconnected by a connection portion. The clip defines a slot located between the legs of the clip. The slot has a closed end positioned at the connection portion of the clip, and an open end positioned at free ends of the legs. In practicing the method, the electrical wire is positioned across the top surface of the beam. Next, the electrical wire is inserted into the slot of the clip. Once the electrical wire has been inserted into the slot, the legs of the clip are positioned against the side surface of the beam and the clip is oriented such that the closed end of the slot is positioned above the top surface of the beam, and the electrical wire extends between the connection portion of the clip and the top surface of the beam.
