1. A bundling strap anchor for supporting at least one cable bundle adjacent a mounting surface employing at least one bundling strap for each of said at least one cable bundle, encircling a respective cable bundle, said bundling strap anchor comprising:

  • a) a bracket having a first planar member having a first and a second marginal edge and a front surface and a rear surface and a second planar member having a third and a fourth marginal edge and a front surface and a rear surface, said first planar member second marginal edge joined to said third marginal edge of said second planar member to form a right angle between said front surface of said first planar member and said front surface of said second planar member, said front surfaces of said first and second planar members adapted to be positioned adjacent said at least one cable bundle and said rear surface of at least one of said first and second planar members adapted to be positioned adjacent the mounting surface;

    b) at least one first tongue in said first planar member severed from said first planar member along two generally parallel marginal edges and a top edge to provide said at least one first tongue with two first generally parallel marginal edges and a first top edge spaced from corresponding marginal edges and a top edge of said first planar member;

    c) at least one second tongue in said second planar member severed from said second planar member along two generally parallel marginal edges and a top edge to provide said at least one second tongue with two second generally parallel marginal edges and a second top edge spaced from corresponding marginal edges and a top edge of said second planar member;

    d) said first and second marginal edges of each of said at least one first and second tongues and said corresponding first and second marginal edges of said first and second planar members, respectively, ande) said first and second top edges of each of said at least one first and second tongues and said corresponding top edges of said first and second planar members, respectively, separated by a predetermined distance whereby a bundling strap of a predetermined twistediness must be twisted to introduce said bundling strap distance into a space between said first top edge and said second top edge and the respective top edge of said first and second tongues of said first and second planar members and once inserted into said space, said at least one bundling strap can move along said at least one first tongue and said at least one second tongue but not exit through said respective spaces without again being twisted.
