- Claim:
1. A cable hanger arrangement comprising: a messenger wire; and a number of cable hangers fit on the messenger wire via an interference fit, each cable hanger comprising: a shape retention wire; an upwardly opening cable support receptacle having a trough area and lateral sides extending upwardly from each side of said trough area; a support arm extending toward the center of the hanger from each receptacle lateral side; and a separate and co-operating hook formed on each said support arm, wherein each hanger has a first uncompressed state with an opening between said hooks and a second compressed state wherein said hooks are aligned in a co-planar adjacent relationship, and wherein each hook of each hanger is sized to have an interference fit with the messenger wire prior to being fit on the messenger wire.
- Claim:
2. The cable hanger according to claim 1 wherein said wire is chosen from the group of round galvanized steel, round stainless steel, flat rolled galvanized steel, flat rolled stainless steel, round aluminum, and flat aluminum.
- Claim:
3. The cable hanger according to claim 1 wherein a coating is disposed on said wire.
- Claim:
4. The cable hanger according to claim 3 wherein a PVC coating is disposed on said wire.
- Claim:
5. The cable hanger according to claim 3 wherein said coating is at least one of: a flame retardant coating, a high dielectric grade coating, or a UV inhibiting material.
- Claim:
6. A cable hanger comprising: a shape retention wire; at least two upwardly opening cable support receptacles with each having a trough area and an outermost lateral side extending upwardly from one side of said trough area; a support arm extending toward the center of the hanger from each outermost lateral receptacle side; separate and co-operating hooks formed on each said support arm; said hanger having a first uncompressed state with an opening between said hooks and a second compressed state wherein said hooks are aligned; and each said hook continually narrows toward the bend forming said hook.
- Claim:
7. The cable hanger according to claim 6 wherein each said hook is structured to have a frictional fit with a messenger wire.
- Claim:
8. The cable hanger according to claim 6 wherein said coating is a plastisol coating.
- Claim:
9. The cable hanger according to claim 6 wherein said coating is a PVC coating.
- Claim:
10. The cable hanger according to claim 6 wherein said coating is at least one of a flame retardant coating, a high dielectric grade coating, or a UV inhibiting material.
- Claim:
11. A cable hanger comprising: a shape retention wire; an upwardly opening cable support receptacle having a trough area and lateral sides extending upwardly from each side of said trough area; a support arm extending toward the center of the hanger from said receptacle; separate and co-operating hooks formed on each of said support arms, said hooks extending toward one another; the hooks defining eyes; said hanger having a first uncompressed state with an opening between said hooks and a second compressed state with the eyes of the hooks aligned in a co-planar adjacent relationship; and the eyes of said hooks continually narrow toward the bend forming the hook.
- Claim:
12. The cable hanger according to claim 11 wherein said wire from a group of round galvanized steel, round stainless steel, flat rolled galvanized steel, or flat rolled stainless steel.
- Claim:
13. The cable hanger according to claim 11 wherein a plastisol coating is disposed on said wire.
- Claim:
14. The cable hanger according to claim 11 wherein a PVC coating is disposed on said wire.
- Claim:
15. The cable hanger according to claim 11 wherein: a coating is disposed on said wire; and said coating is at least one of a flame retardant coating, high dielectric grade coating, or a UV inhibiting material.
- Claim:
16. A method of organizing a number of cables about a messenger wire, the method comprising: fitting, with an interference fit, a number of cable hangers to the messenger wire, each cable hanger comprising: a shape retention wire; an upwardly opening cable support receptacle having a trough area and lateral sides extending upwardly from each side of said trough area; a support arm extending toward the center of the hanger from each receptacle lateral side; a separate and co-operating hook formed on each said support arm, wherein each hanger has a first uncompressed state with an opening between said hooks and a second compressed state wherein said hooks are aligned in a co-planar adjacent relationship, and wherein each hook of each hanger is sized to have the interference fit with the messenger wire prior to being fit to the messenger wire; and positioning at least one cable of the number of cables in the cable support receptacle of at least one hanger of the number of cable hangers after the at least one hanger has been fit to the messenger wire.
