Patent ID: 7793988

Claim:
A combination of a coupling member, an electrical wire-carrying conduit, and a connecting member adapted for positioning and securing said conduit to a remote supporting structure having an elongated surface spaced from said coupling member, said combination comprising: said electrical wire-carrying conduit having opposite ends; said coupling member receiving and supporting said conduit, said coupling member comprises a tubular member having a longitudinal axis and at least one end, said end receiving one end of said conduit along said longitudinal axis, and said tubular member having a wall containing an aperture extending generally perpendicularly to said longitudinal axis of said tubular member; and said connecting member having opposite ends, one end of said connecting member securely engaging said aperture in said wall of said tubular member, the opposite end of said connecting member extending outwardly beyond said wall and away from said aperture, and a clamp assembly comprising i) a clamp body having a generally C-shape configuration and comprising (1) a first arm having opposite ends and having a generally smooth, flat surface (2) a second arm having opposite ends and spaced from and having a surface generally parallel to said flat surface of said first arm, (3) a web connecting one end of said first arm and a corresponding one end of said second arm, and (4) each of said first arm and said second arm having threaded apertures extending therethrough, and ii) a threaded member threaded through said threaded aperture of said second arm for threaded adjustment, iii) said opposite end of said connecting member threaded through said first arm aperture for threaded adjustment of said first and second arms, said clamp assembly being adapted to be selectively and adjustably connected along said remote supporting structure to permit said connecting member to adjustably and selectively support and position said conduit with respect to said elongated surface of said remote supporting structure and being adapted to selectively and securely engage said remote supporting structure to securely hold and support said coupling member and said conduit in a selected position with respect to said elongated surface of said supporting structure and adapted to be removably engagable to said remote supporting structure.
