Abstract: A spring nut for attaching a threaded object to a structure can include first and second arms extending from the base, and a wedge element. The wedge element can be configured to selectively operatively urge the first and second arms apart to release the threaded object from between the first and second arms.

Abstract: A support clip can be configured to support objects relative to a cable support system having wire members. A support system engagement portion can have first, second, and third attachments, which can be removably attachable to the wire members of the cable support system. The first attachment can define a first partly cylindrical pocket with a first entrance, the second attachment can define a second partly cylindrical pocket with a second entrance, and the third attachment can define a hook that defines a third elongate pocket and a third entrance. The first and second attachments can be configured to receive respective wire members to attach the support clip to the cable support system in a first orientation and the second and third attachments can be configured to receive respective wire members to attach the support clip to the cable support system in a second orientation.

Abstract: A support for mounting an electrical box relative to a stud can include a support arm and an attachment feature, with the attachment feature configured to secure the support arm to the stud, and the support arm configured to support the electrical box. The attachment feature can include an attachment section that has a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the attachment section can support the support arm at a first depth relative to the stud. In the second configuration, the attachment section can be configured to be folded over itself to support the support arm at a second, smaller, depth relative to the stud.

Abstract: An electrical installation bracket includes a body that can telescope to allow the length of the bracket to be changed to accommodate installation in different configurations, for example to accommodate different spacing between mounting studs. The bracket can have rails that allow an electrical box to be positioned, by sliding, at any of a variety of locations along the length of the body. The body can have holes in it for securing the box to the bracket at a desired location along the body, with a front of the box protruding through an opening in the body. The body can include ears on opposite sides of the opening, with mounting holes for mounting the bracket to studs or other structure (or other hardware or devices). The electrical installation bracket can advantageously provide more flexibility in placement of electrical boxes, with pre-prepared holes available for securing boxes.

Abstract: An electrical installation bracket includes a body that may telescope to allow the length of the bracket to be changed to accommodate installation in different configurations, for example to accommodate different spacing between mounting studs. The bracket has rails on a face that allow an electrical box to be positioned, by sliding, at any of a variety of locations along the length of the body. The body has holes in it for securing the box to the bracket at a desired location along the body, with a front of the box for example protruding through an opening in the body. The body includes ears on opposite sides of the opening, with mounting holes for mounting the bracket to studs or other structure (or other hardware or devices). The electrical installation bracket advantageously provides more flexibility in placement of electrical boxes, with pre-prepared holes available for securing boxes.

Abstract: An electrical box includes a box portion that surrounds a volume and has an at least partially open back, a mud ring that is coupled to the front of box portion, and structure mounts that extend out beyond a perimeter of the volume enclosed by the box portion. The structure mounts are used to couple to any of a variety of types of structure, such as a stud, an inter-stud bracket, or other structure. The structure mounts may include integral parts of the mud ring, integral parts of the box portion, or separate brackets that are attached to the box portion and/or the mud ring. Advantages for the electrical box include a reduced number of parts, reduced time and labor for installation, and flexibility in installation.

Abstract: A rod hanger uses a spring insert clip horizontally insertable into a sheet metal housing to embrace and grip the threads of a vertical rod. The hanger has a sheet metal housing with parallel slots in opposite walls parallel to the rod. The clip has spring thread-form legs which are guided into the slots and held embracing the rod. The clip is U-shape with parallel legs which project from and snap behind one of the walls of the housing. The hanger may be in the form of a beam clamp or flange clip.

Abstract: A cable support for category 5 cable, fiber optic cable, and the like is in the form of a curved smooth saddle to support the cable in lay-in fashion. The saddle has a projecting stem with a number of fastening accommodations to receive all kinds of clamps, clips or brackets, so that one or more supports may be positioned on or suspended from anything or any surface in the utilitarian part of a building such as the area above a drop ceiling. This enables the supports to be positioned within about 120-150 cm of each other so that cable sag between support saddles does not exceed 30 cm.
