Problems solved by technology

The cable support structure is generally arranged in a manner so that the lines are supported along vertical walls, covered flooring, or along or within a ceiling, and are therefore out of the way and not easily accessible.
However, each of the aforementioned inventions fails to provide an apparatus and / or means for enabling greater ease and efficiency in the physical installation of the cables that are supported by the cable support structures described in the respective patents.
The length of the L is such that creating a tight binding about the cable and maintaining such a binding requires great effort, care and time.

Embodiment Construction

[0058] The detailed description below is for preferred embodiments and is intended to explain the current invention. It is to be understood that a variety of other arrangements are also possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0059]FIG. 1a through FIG. 1c depicts the general arrangement or configuration of a cable support structure S, such as a cable ladder (in FIG. 1a) or a cable tray (see FIG. 1b). A cable support structure S is used for the installation of cables, such as computer power and / or telecommunication cable lines. The cable support structure S is generally arranged in the manner depicted in the figures, to accommodate many cable lines in a particular facility. The cable support structure S is generally arranged so that the lines are not easily accessible, and not disrupted in an accidental or unintended manner. Thus, the lines are supported along vertical walls, covered flooring, or along or within a ceiling. And, FIG. 1c provides an examp...

Abstract

An anchor comprises means for coupling the anchor to a cable support structure, and means for securing a line to the anchor. The anchor further comprises means for further coupling the anchor to the cable support structure. Further coupling means comprises a plurality of indexing apertures formed on the upstanding members, and a pin inserted through the upstanding members via an aligned pair of indexing apertures. The pin has a lanyard attached to the anchor. Securing means comprises a parabolic disc, a post, a hanger, or a notch formed in the anchor.

Description

RELATED U.S. APPLICATION DATA [0001] Not applicable. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates generally to an anchor for securing a line. Specifically, this invention relates to an anchor coupled to a cable support structure, the anchor having means for coupling the anchor to the cable support structure, and means for securing the line during the installation of communication cable or wires onto the cable support structure. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Cable support structures, such as a cable ladder or a cable rack, are used for the installation of cables, such as computer and / or power cable lines within a technical facility. The cable support structure is generally arranged in a manner so that the lines are supported along vertical walls, covered flooring, or along or within a ceiling, and are therefore out of the way and not easily accessible. There are many known cable support structures in the art, including devices disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,656,998 (issued...
