Definitions
- This invention relates generally to devices for supporting cables and, in particular, to hangers for securing cables to support structures.
- Cable hangers are commonly used to secure cables to structural members of antenna towers and or along tunnel walls. Generally, each cable is attached to a structural member by cable hangers mounted at periodically-spaced attachment points.
- Antenna towers and or tunnels may be crowded due to the large numbers of cables required for signal-carrying. Over time, as systems are added, upgraded and/or expanded, installation of additional cables may be required. To conserve space, it may be desirable for each set of cable hangers to secure more than a single cable. Certain cable hangers have been constructed to secure multiple cables; other cable hangers have a stackable construction that permits multiple cable hangers to be interlocked extending outwardly from each mounting point/structural member. Stacked and multiple-cable-type cable hangers significantly increase the number of cables mountable to a single attachment point.
- Hangers disclosed therein have generally a U- or C-shaped profile with rounded arms. A locking projection extends from the free end of each arm, and the “root” of the hanger that spans the fixed ends of the arms has a large aperture. The hanger can hold a cable between the arms; gripping of the cable is enhanced by short fingers that extend inwardly from the arms to engage the cable. Hangers can be “stacked” onto each other by inserting the locking projections of one hanger into the large aperture of the next hanger.
- the SNAP-STAK® hanger is offered in multiple sizes that correspond to the outer diameters of different cables. This arrangement has been suitable for use with coaxial RF cables, which tend to be manufactured in only a few different outer diameters; however, the arrangement has been less desirable for fiber optic cables, which tend to be manufactured in a much greater variety of diameters. Moreover, fiber optic cables tend to be much heavier than coaxial cables (sometimes as much as three times heavier per unit foot), which induces greater load and stress on the hangers.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/278,339, filed Sep. 28, 2016, which claims priority from and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/248,465, filed Oct. 30, 2015, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety.
- This invention relates generally to devices for supporting cables and, in particular, to hangers for securing cables to support structures.
- Cable hangers are commonly used to secure cables to structural members of antenna towers and or along tunnel walls. Generally, each cable is attached to a structural member by cable hangers mounted at periodically-spaced attachment points.
- Antenna towers and or tunnels may be crowded due to the large numbers of cables required for signal-carrying. Over time, as systems are added, upgraded and/or expanded, installation of additional cables may be required. To conserve space, it may be desirable for each set of cable hangers to secure more than a single cable. Certain cable hangers have been constructed to secure multiple cables; other cable hangers have a stackable construction that permits multiple cable hangers to be interlocked extending outwardly from each mounting point/structural member. Stacked and multiple-cable-type cable hangers significantly increase the number of cables mountable to a single attachment point.
- One popular stackable cable hanger is discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,191,836 to Korczak, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. Hangers disclosed therein have generally a U- or C-shaped profile with rounded arms. A locking projection extends from the free end of each arm, and the “root” of the hanger that spans the fixed ends of the arms has a large aperture. The hanger can hold a cable between the arms; gripping of the cable is enhanced by short fingers that extend inwardly from the arms to engage the cable. Hangers can be “stacked” onto each other by inserting the locking projections of one hanger into the large aperture of the next hanger.
- One variety of cable hanger of this type is the SNAP-STAK® hanger, available from CommScope, Inc. (Joliet, Ill.). The SNAP-STAK® hanger is offered in multiple sizes that correspond to the outer diameters of different cables. This arrangement has been suitable for use with coaxial RF cables, which tend to be manufactured in only a few different outer diameters; however, the arrangement has been less desirable for fiber optic cables, which tend to be manufactured in a much greater variety of diameters. Moreover, fiber optic cables tend to be much heavier than coaxial cables (sometimes as much as three times heavier per unit foot), which induces greater load and stress on the hangers.
- As a first aspect, embodiments of the invention are directed to a cable hanger, comprising: a first half including a main body with a first cable recess, a latch adapted for mounting to a mounting structure, and a first securing feature; and a second half including a main body with a second cable recess, a bore adapted for receiving the latch of a second cable hanger, and a second securing feature. The first half is mated with the second half such that the first and second cable recesses form a pocket for receiving and grasping a cable. The first and second securing features engage to maintain the first half and the second half in a mated condition.
- As a second aspect, embodiments of the invention are directed to a cable hanger, comprising: a first half including a main body with a first cable recess, a latch adapted for mounting to a mounting structure, and a first securing feature; and a second half including a main body with a second cable recess, a bore adapted for receiving the latch of a second cable hanger, and a second securing feature. The first half is mated with the second half such that the first and second cable recesses form a pocket for receiving and grasping a cable. The first and second securing features engage to maintain the first half and the second half in a mated condition. The first half and the second half are connected via a hinge. The main body of the first half includes a bore that is coaxial with the latch. The cable hanger further comprises a plunger, the plunger configured to reside in the bore of the first half and maintain the latch in a latched condition. The plunger is attached to the first half within the bore of the first half.
- As a third aspect, embodiments of the invention are directed to a cable hanger, comprising: a first half including a main body with a first cable recess, a latch adapted for mounting to a mounting structure, and a first securing feature; and a second half including a main body with a second cable recess, a bore adapted for receiving the latch of a second cable hanger, and a second securing feature. The first half is mated with the second half such that the first and second cable recesses form a pocket for receiving and grasping a cable. The first and second securing features engage to maintain the first half and the second half in a mated condition. The cable hanger is a monolithic component formed of a polymeric material, and the first and second halves are connected via a living hinge.

- Referring now to the figures, a cable hanger, designated broadly at 10, is shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 . Thecable hanger 10 includes twohalves living hinge 16. Thehalves - The half 12 (which is shown in its complete form in
FIGS. 1 and 2 ), includes amain body 22. Themain body 22 has acentral bore 25 that is encircled by asplit boss latch 24 that extends forwardly of themain body 22. Thelatch 24 has a radially-outwardly extendinghook 26, and also includes a radially-inwardly extendingledge 28. A hollowcylindrical plunger 30 is attached within thebore 25 viabreakaway tabs 32. Theplunger 30 has aninclined bearing surface 34 at one end that forms ahook 35. Acounterbore 36 is coaxial with thebore 25 opposite thelatch 24. - Referring still to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , anarcuate cable recess 38 is located in the rear surface of themain body 22 on each side of thebore 24.Flex sections 40 extend across eachcable recess 38. Theflex sections 40 enable thecable hanger 10 to grasp cables of different sizes; the structure and function of various flex sections are described in U.S. Patent No. 62/139,057, filed Mar. 27, 2015, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. - A
slot 42 is located near the end of themain body 22 opposite the livinghinge 16. Theslot 42 hasteeth 44 on its inner surface (i.e., the surface nearest the latch 24). - Referring still to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the half 14 (most of which is shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 ) includes has amain body 46 withcable recesses 48 withflex sections 50 similar to the cable recesses 38 andflex sections 40 of thehalf 12. In its center, themain body 46 has abore 51 that is sized to be similar to the outer diameter of thelatch 24. At its end opposite the livinghinge 16, thehalf 14 has aratchet strap 52 withteeth 54 on its inward-facing surface (seeFIG. 3 ). - The
cable hanger 10 can be formed of a variety of materials, including polymeric materials such as nylon and polypropylene (in particular, materials suitable for a living hinge may be appropriate). In some embodiments, thecable hanger 10 is formed as a monolithic component. - Use of the
cable hanger 10 is illustrated inFIGS. 3-5 .FIG. 3 shows that thehalf 14 is pivoted from its open position inFIGS. 1 and 2 about the livinghinge 16 to mate with thehalf 12. Upon pivoting, therecesses 38 of thehalf 12 align with therecesses 48 to formpockets 60 that capturecables 150. Theratchet strap 52 of thehalf 14 is inserted into theslot 42 of thehalf 12; theteeth 54 of theratchet strap 52 intermesh with theteeth 44 in theslot 42 to prevent release of theratchet strap 52 from theslot 42, thereby securing thehalf 14 to thehalf 12 in a closed position. Theratchet strap 52 is pulled into theslot 42 to tighten thehalves cables 150 are snugly held in the pockets 60 (seeFIG. 5 ). The presence of theflex sections cable hanger 10 to accommodate different sizes of cables, as does the ability of theratchet strap 52 to secure thehalves - Referring now to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , it can be seen that thecable hanger 10 can be mounted on a structure, such as acable ladder 100 or antenna tower, within holes already present in theladder 100. In many instances (particularly in the U.S.) cable ladders and antenna towers have multiple pre-formed holes that are ¾ inch in diameter and spaced apart at 3-foot intervals. Thelatch 24 is inserted into a desiredhole 110 in theladder 100 such that thehook 26 of thelatch 24 engages the interior surface of theladder 100. Theplunger 30 is then pushed (with a tool or the like) deeper into thebore 25, which breaks theplunger 30 away from thebreakaway tabs 32. The bearingsurface 34 of theplunger 30 engages theledge 28 of thelatch 24 to force thelatch 24 radially outwardly, then thehooks 35 engage the far edge of theledge 28 to firmly secure thelatch 24 in place in the hole 110 (seeFIG. 5 ). - Referring still to
FIG. 5 , once onecable hanger 10 has been mounted in place,additional cable hangers 10′ can be mounted to thefirst cable hanger 10. Thelatch 24′ on thesecond cable hanger 10′ can be inserted into thebore 51 of thefirst cable hanger 10 in the manner described above.Additional cable hangers 10′ can then be mounted in stacked relationship in the same manner. - Notably, the
first cable hanger 10 can also be mounted to a structure that has no pre-formed holes in which thelatch 24 can fit. In such an instance (as shown inFIG. 6 ), an appropriately-sized bolt 220 may be inserted into a hole (pre-formed or formed on-site) after being inserted through thebore 25 and the plunger (not shown inFIG. 6 ) in thehalf 12 of afirst cable hanger 10. Thehead 222 of thebolt 220 is received in thecounterbore 36. Once thefirst cable hanger 10 is mounted onto the structure,additional cable hangers 10′ may be mounted thereto as described above. - Those skilled in this art will appreciate that the
cable hanger 10 may take different forms. For example, the livinghinge 16 may be replaced with a hinge of a different variety, or thehalves cable hanger 10 is configured to hang two cables, but it may be modified to hang only a single cable or more than two cables. Thelatch 24 and bore 51 may be configured differently (for example, the mounting latch may have two straight arms, rather than the curved configuration shown, and the bore may be square or rectangular to accommodate the straight-armed latch). Also, theplunger 30 may be omitted in some embodiments. Further, the halves may be secured with features other than a ratchet strap and toothed slot; for example, screws, bolts, VELCRO® material or the like may be employed to mate the halves together. Other configurations may also be employed. - The foregoing is illustrative of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting thereof. Although exemplary embodiments of this invention have been described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the claims. The invention is defined by the following claims, with equivalents of the claims to be included therein.
