Abstract:
An interlocking cable support tray system comprising:a) at least one tray section including a plurality of transverse wire members and a plurality of longitudinal wire members, said longitudinal wire members held in a spaced and generally parallel relation by said transverse wire members;b) an interlocking clip for joining tray sections to each other or to alter a single tray section to create arcuate cable paths, said clip including:i) a first pair of opposing tabs integrally formed on a back portion;ii) a second pair of opposing tabs integrally formed on the back portion and spaced from said first pair of opposing tabs by a pair of opposing arcuate notches also integrally formed on said back portion, each of said opposing arcuate notches sized to receive one of said longitudinal wire members; andc) a tool for crimping the first and second pairs of opposing tabs so that they cooperate with said back portion to surround an adjacent pair of transverse wire members while a longitudinal wire member is secured in the arcuate notches of said interlocking clip;whereby the adjacent pair of transverse wire members are interlocked with a longitudinal wire member so that shifting in both horizontal and vertical directions is prevented.
