Filed Sept. 21, 1961 FIG. I FIG. 3
FIG. 5
United States Patent (31.1? 7 Arthur G. Bauer, 90 Alien Blvd Farmingdaie, N.Y. Filed Sept. 21, 1961, Ser. No. 139,796 1 tilaim. (C1. 24871) This invention relates to a unitary clip for holding electrical wires and more particularly to a clip adapted to be nailed into wood or like material.
It is an object of this invention to provide a nailable metal clip for holding electrical wires.
It is a further object to provide a clip adapted to be firmly disposed in the wood so as not to be easily removed.
It is another object to provide a clip easily manufactured and of durable quality construction.
These and other objects of this invention will become apparent upon reading the following descriptive disclosure of an illustrative embodiment taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which FiG. 1 is a front view of the clip,
PEG. 2 is a top view of the clip,
FIG. 3 is a side view of the clip,
FIG. 4 is a rear view of the clip, and
FIG. 5 is a front view of the clip disposed in a horizontal rafter and showing the manner of securing electrical wires thereto.
Turning to the drawing, a strip of metal 1! of suitable width and suitable length, is provided with a top horizontally disposed prong portion 11, a hump or C-shaped portion 12 contiguous to said prong portion, a depending vertically disposed leg portion 13 contiguous to said hump portion and a curved upright portion 14 contiguous to the base of the depending portion 13 (FIG. 3).
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 the prong portion 11 is provided with a flat point for hammering into wood and preferably with a pair of opposed pinched Walls 15 form ing a channel or cavity therebetween.
The opposed pinched walls are important since they give rigidity to the flat point so that the fiat prong is in effect like a solid nail. Moreover, the channel formed between the opposed pinched surfaces receives the wood, so that the clip when hammered in place is not easily dislodged. In short, the prong 11 is captively held in place by the three dimensional wood disposed in the channel.
The hump portion 12 is of a somewhat semi-circular configuration having one end integral linearly with the prong and having the other end below the prong and integral with the depending leg 13. Such a construction provides a large area to receive a hammer blow and transfer the force of the blow directly into the prong portion 11.
3,117,758 Federated Jan. 142-, 1964 The leg portion 13 is of suitable length and the upright portion is provided with a suitably curved bottom section 16 to receive the Wires 17 (FIG. 5). The upright portion 14 is also provided with a flared outward lip at its top end to facilitate insertion of the wires between portions 13 and 14.
This invention has been illustrated by a single embodiment but it is not limited thereto but only to the claim herein.
I claim:
A non-rotatable integral metal hanger clip made from flat metal strip and adapted to receive a hammer blow at one end and to receive wires at the other consisting of a top substantially horizontal section having a pointed flat non-rotatable terminus portion integral with a cavitated U-shaped channel portion having a substantially wider planar portion therebehind and having barbs adjacent said planar portion, a C-shaped section integral at the top to said horizontal planar portion and having the other end thereof disposed below the juncture of the C- shaped section to the planar portion thereby forming an element adapted to receive a hammer blow and transfer the force thereof to said pointed terminus, a vertically disposed depending leg section integral with the C-shaped section at the bottom end thereof and an outwardly curved upright section integral with the bottom of said vertical section and disposed in a spaced wire-receiving relationship thereto.
