  • Patent number: 9184574
    Abstract: The cable pulling system includes a jet loop for pulling cable through a cable tray in a structure, such as a building. The jet loop is physically coupled to a bracket, which is clamped to the cable tray. The bracket uses clamp wing nuts matched to threaded clamp bolts to compressively hold upward-extending portions of the U-shaped members of the cable tray between clamp plates and downward-extending portions of either end of the bracket. The clamp plates and the downward-extending portions of either end of the bracket have matching pairs of indentations whose center axes and edges align with one another and with the uppermost two wires on either side of the cable tray. The jet loop can be moved in either of two opposite directions and is removably coupled to a cable or bundle of cables to pull the cables through the cable tray.
