Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/287,667 filed Nov. 4, 2002 and entitled LINE HANGER, the disclosure of which is fully incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates generally to devices for hanging lines and, in particular, to hangers for securing transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, and other lines to support structures.
- Line hangers are commonly used to secure lines, such as cables and transmission lines, to the framework of support structures, such as antenna towers. Lines are routed upward from the base of the antenna tower to communicate with telecommunications devices positioned above the base either at the tower apex or at an intermediate location. Generally, each line is attached to the antenna tower by a large number of line hangers mounted at periodically-spaced locations along its height. Antenna towers may reach several hundred feet in height with line hangers mounted at about three feet intervals. After the line hangers have been installed, the line is strung and engaged with the line hangers. Certain line hangers are constructed to be stackable such that multiple line hangers can be interlocked to extend outwardly from the antenna tower. Stacked line hangers significantly increase the number of lines that can be routed up the antenna tower by making efficient use of the available attachment points.
- Conventional line hangers suffer from significant deficiencies and shortcomings. In particular, most line hangers are complex structures that are costly to manufacture due to the costs of raw materials, manufacturing equipment and labor. In addition, conventional line hangers require a large amount of auxiliary hardware, such as screws, bolts, nuts and washers. Stacked line hangers may require at least partial disassembly of existing line hangers to add another line. As a result, running lines along the height of antenna towers is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to have a line hanger characterized by a simple, inexpensive construction.

On the contrary, the description of the invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalent arrangements as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
- With reference to
FIG. 1 , a mounting device orline hanger 10 according to the principles of the invention is a multi-bend, three-dimensional structure formed from a continuous length of wire or rod. The rod has a diameter suitable for providing adequate rigidity to function as a load-bearing structure as well as sufficient resiliency. The rod forming theline hanger 10 is generally circular in radial cross-section.Line hanger 10 may be formed from any suitable material including, but not limited to, metals such as stainless steels and galvanized steels. For light duty applications, theline hanger 10 may be molded from a polymer resin. Theline hanger 10 may be a one-piece monolithic structure that is unitary or may be formed from multiple components joined together by, for example, welded or fused junctions. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , theline hanger 10 includes a support attachment provision or section, generally indicated byreference numeral 14 and a pair of clampingarms space 19 for receiving and securing aline 20, typically cylindrical, selected from among various different types, such as a transmission line, a pipe, a conduit or the like. Theattachment section 14 of theline hanger 10 is configured to be attached with aconventional fastener 22 to asupport structure 21, such as a portion of an antenna tower. Alternatively, the clampingarms line hanger 10 may be coupled with theattachment section 14 of anotherline hanger 10 for stackingmultiple cable hangers 10. Theline hanger 10 may be attached to supportstructure 21 vertically, horizontally or at angle to an axis of thesupport structure 21 using anyconventional bracket 23. -
Multiple line hangers 10, each identical toline hanger 10, are attached to thesupport structure 21 with a spacing betweenadjacent line hangers 10 adequate to resist forces due to wind and weather. Then, theline 20 is strung up thesupport structure 21 and a length of theline 20 is secured to each of themultiple line hangers 10. The rigidity of eachindividual line hanger 10 must be adequate to support its distributed portion of the total load from the attachedline 20 including external forces, such as wind, acting on theline 20 and any additional load fromstacked line hangers 10 and theirrespective lines 20, as will be described below. The resiliency of theline hanger 10 must be sufficient to allow theline hanger 10 to be coupled with theline 20, as described below. - The
attachment section 14 ofline hanger 10 defines a closed end that includes a generally round or generallycircular loop 24 having acentral passage 26 with a diameter greater than or equal to a diameter of a threaded shank of thefastener 22 and less than an outer diameter of a head of thefastener 22. Theloop 24 extends over an arc length of less than 360° terminated by a transversely-spaced pair of oppositely-directedangled bends loop 24 dimensioned to prevent vertical passage of the threaded shank of thefastener 22. It is contemplated by the invention that theloop 24 may possess any arcuate or polygonal shape suitable to cooperate with thefastener 22 for securing theline hanger 10 with thesupport structure 21. Extending outwardly from each of theangled bends segments Widening segment 32 extends outwardly fromloop 24 in an opposite direction from wideningsegment 34. Theloop 24 andextension segments angled bends extension segments - With continued reference to
FIG. 1 , each of theextension segments angled bends segments bridging segments extension segments loop 24 and theextension segments bridging segments loop 24 horizontally from the clampingarms fastener 22. As a result, the head of thefastener 22 does not interfere with the securement of theline 20 with theline hanger 10. The separation also facilitates stacking ofmultiple line hangers 10, as described below. - Generally, the clamping
arms attachment section 14 with a transverse relationship to theattachment section 14. Each of theclamping arms segment angled bends bridging segments arcuate segments bridging segments arcuate segments space 19 between the clampingarms line 20. Each of thearcuate segments angled bends upright members arcuate segments - Each of the
upright members segments loop 24 joined by a respective one of a pair ofangled bends segments 68, 70.Segments 68, 70 are each inclined outwardly and away from the corresponding one ofarcuate segments upright members angled bends attachment section 14. As a result, theattachment section 14 effectively operates as a terminating element for interconnecting the clampingarms line 20 is secured therebetween. - The clamping
arms line 20 is present, a spread condition that permits insertion of theline 20 into the widened throat or gap betweenupright members arms line 20 with theline hanger 10. To couple theline 20 with theline hanger 10, theline 20 is positioned proximate the gap between theupright members loop 24. Sliding contact between the exterior of theline 20 and theupright members arms line 20 can pass between theupright members line 20 is moved into thespace 19, the clampingarms arms line 20. The clamping force applied by the clampingarms grips line 20 with a clamping force sufficient to prevent significant axial movement of theline 20 relative toline hanger 10. - With continued reference to
FIG. 1 , a terminating link orelement 72, formed from a trapezoidal loop of wire or rod, is provided that is capable of being removably coupled with theline hanger 10. To that end, the inner periphery of the terminatingelement 72 is dimensioned to fit over theupright members element 72 can be installed on the clampingarms line 20 is positioned inspace 19. The terminatingelement 72 includes along segment 74 joined at opposite ends by one of a pair ofangled bends 76, 78 (FIG. 3 ) with a corresponding one of two relativelyshort segments angled bends short segments long segment 88 that is aligned generally parallel withlong segment 74. When the terminatingelement 72 is engaged with theline hanger 10, the angled bends 76, 78 engage the angled bends 52, 54 of theline hanger 10. The terminatingelement 72 constrains the clampingarms line 20 cannot be disengaged from theline hanger 10 by movement outwardly through the gap between theupright members arms line 20 against significant axial movement relative toline hanger 10. - The
line hanger 10 of the invention may be readily scaled to accept andsecure lines 20 of differing sizes. In particular, the dimensions of theline hanger 10 of the invention may be scaled to acceptlines 20 of various different diameters or to acceptlines 20 having a range of diameters. In addition, the clampingarms lines 20 within a range of dimensions. Generally, the separation of the clampingarms line 20 that may be secured in the clamping position. The clampingarms lines 20 up to a maximum dimension determined by the resiliency and ability to separate the clampingarms line hanger 10 is selected and the dimensions are adjusted such that transitions among the relaxed, spread and clamping conditions does not result in significant permanent deformation of the material forming the clampingarms - With reference to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , theline hanger 10 of the invention is stackable in that asecond line hanger 10 b can be mounted to afirst line hanger 10 a, which is itself attached to thesupport structure 21. Each of the line hangers 10 a and 10 b areidentical line hanger 10. In the following description, reference numerals representing features of thesecond line hanger 10 b will be distinguished by prime notation from reference numerals representing identical features of thefirst line hanger 10 a. The distance between the confronting concave portion ofangled bends 36′, 38′ of thesecond line hanger 10 b in the clamping condition is greater than the distance separating theupright members first line hanger 10 a. Theextension segments 32′, 34′ of thesecond line hanger 10 b contact and are supported by a corresponding one of clampingarms angled bends second line hanger 10 b is secured against cantilevering by the contact betweenloop 24 and theline 20 held by thefirst line hanger 10 a. The interconnection between the angled bends 36′, 38′ ofline hanger 10 b and the angled bends 52, 54 of theupright members line hanger 10 a prevents inadvertent spreading of the clampingarms - In use, a set of
line hangers 10 a are fastened withfasteners 22 to thesupport structure 21 at successive spaced attachment points between the base of thesupport structure 21 and the destination of theline 20. Theline 20 is strung upwardly proximate to the line hangers 10 a and theline 20 is pressed inwardly between theupright members line hanger 10 a which provides a temporary spreading force that separates the respective clampingarms line 20 moves into thespace 19 between the respective clampingarms arms line 20 against movement. The clampingarms line hanger 10 a are safeguarded against spreading by the placement of a corresponding terminatingelement 72. Alternatively, one or more additional sets ofline hangers 10 b may be stacked to the first set ofline hangers 10 a for directing one or moreadditional lines 20 along thesupport structure 21 and the mounting sequence is repeated for eachadditional line 20. The last stacked set ofline hangers 10 b is terminated, after thecorresponding line 20 is inserted, with a corresponding plurality of terminatingelements 72. - With reference to
