Claim 9:
10. A fastener for use in attaching objects to a strut channel, comprising:
a body having an upper surface, a lower surface, a front surface, a rear surface and first and second side surfaces, wherein the front surface, the rear surface and the first and second side surfaces at least partially extend between the upper surface and the lower surface;
an aperture passing through the body between the upper surface and the lower surface, a centerline of the first aperture defining a vertical reference axis, wherein at least a portion of the aperture is threaded; and
a first arcuate surface extending between the first side surface and the front surface of the body; and
a second arcuate surface extending between the second side surface and the rear surface of the body;
a first recessed channel formed in the first side surface, wherein the upper surface and lower surface each at least partially extend over the first recessed channel along its length;
a second recessed channel formed in the second side surface, wherein the upper surface and lower surface each at least partially extend over the second recessed channel along its length;
a first fastener recess formed on the lower surface of the body around the first aperture, wherein the first fastener receptacle has a hexagonal geometric shape configured to engage a nut or a bolt head and prevent the nut or bolt head from turning; and
wherein the first fastener recess is sized to receive the nut or bolt having a first thread dimension and the threads of the aperture is configured to engage a bolt having a second thread dimension, wherein the first and second thread dimensions are different.
