Abstract:
An assembly for hanging cables in ships and elsewhere, which comprises:(a) a threaded stud, one end of which is adapted to be secured to a wall or bulkhead, (b) a first section of sheet metal, said first section having an internally threaded opening therein, said stud being threadedly received in said opening in response to rotation of said first section about the axis of said opening, (c) a second section of sheet metal fixedly connected to said first section thereof, said second section being generally parallel to said first section and being spaced therefrom, said second section having a part thereof directly opposite said opening, said second section having a dimple at said part thereof directly opposite said opening, said dimple being on the side of said second section remote from said opening whereby a reverse dimple is present on the side of said second section facing said opening, said reverse dimple being protuberant toward the distal end of said stud and being progressively engaged by said distal end in response to conjoint rotation of said first and second sections about said axis of said opening to cause threaded receiving of said stud in said opening, said dimple creating a tight relationship between said stud and said first and second sections, and permitting conjoint rotation of said first and second sections until they are in desired positions, and (d) means to secure cable to at least one of said sections to cause supporting of said cable.
