Abstract:
1. A cable clamp for securing a cable to a support structure, comprising: a first and a second half-shell of substantially identical shape, each having opposing inner surfaces defining a cable receiving region, the opposing inner surfaces terminating in respective abutting surfaces; a pair of first flanges associated with the first half-shell, the first flanges comprising inner surfaces and outer surfaces, the first flanges being laterally adjacent the cable receiving region of the first half-shell, the first flanges having first bores for receiving elongate members, the inner surfaces of the first flanges being substantially perpendicular to the first bores, and the inner surfaces of the first flanges being vertically offset from the abutting surface of the first half-shell by a distance; a pair of second flanges associated with the second half-shell, the second flanges comprising inner surfaces and outer surfaces, the second flanges being laterally adjacent the cable receiving region of the second half-shell, the second flanges having second bores for receiving the elongate members, the outer surfaces of the second flanges being substantially perpendicular to the second bores, and the inner surfaces of the second flanges being vertically offset from the abutting surface of the second half-shell by the distance; and a pair of elongate members configured to facilitate coupling of the first half-shell to the second half-shell, each elongate member being capable of passing through respective first and second flanges; a pair of first adjustable fastening members configured to mate with the respective pair of elongate members and to engage the inner surfaces of the pair of first flanges for securing the first half-shell to a support structure independently from the second half-shell, the first adjustable fastening members having a thickness less than twice the distance of the vertical offsets; and a pair of second adjustable fastening members configured to mate with respective portions of the elongate members extending beyond an outer surface of the second half-shell and to engage the outer surfaces of the pair of second flanges for securing the second half-shell to the first half-shell.
