ABSTRACT:
A cable supporting structure includes a longitudinally extending channel-shaped support structure having a pair of spaced side walls with free end portions turned inwardly to form opposed longitudinally extending flanges. A locking strap has opposite end portions and an intermediate portion therebetween. A support member is positioned within the support structure to extend between the side walls with opposite ends thereof respectively supported by the flanges. The support member includes a pair of slots for receiving the locking strap to cause the intermediate portion to extend around a central body portion of the support member in overlapping relation therewith. The support member includes resiliently deflectable extensions at the ends thereof for producing frictional contact between the support member and the side walls tending to resist movement of the support member within the support structure. The opposite end portions of the locking strap are connected to form a loop of a preselected size extending around the body portion at the intermediate portion thereof and around a cable at the connected opposite end portions to support the cable against the support structure. There is also included a support member which is capable of being used to support a cable and a method for supporting a cable against a support structure.
