Abstract

A suspended type cable fixing-up rack adapted to mount on a frame includes a cable patch board for a plurality of cables to connect thereto, a cable support, and mounting elements. The cable patch board includes two side wings provided with mounting holes. Each of the mounting elements includes a first bent section having mounting holes provided at a flat head portion thereof, and a second bent section provided with retaining holes, into which hooks provided on two cantilever arms at two lateral ends of the cable support are extended. Whereby the cable patch board and the mounting elements are connected together and fixed to the frame by threading screws through mounting holes on the first bent sections of the mounting elements and the wings of the cable patch board against the frame. Weight of cables fallen on the cable support is therefore evenly distributed to the frame.

Claims

1. A suspended type cable fixing-up rack adapted to mount on a frame, comprising a cable patch board for a plurality of cables to connect thereto, a cable support, and a pair of mounting elements;

said cable patch board being provided near two lateral ends with two screw holes, and including two wings sideward extended from two outmost ends of said cable patch board and having mounting holes provided thereon;

said suspended type cable fixing-up rack being characterized in that each of said mounting elements includes at least two bent sections, a first one of which includes a flat head portion provided with mounting holes corresponding to said mounting holes on said wings of said cable patch board, and a second one of which includes retaining holes, into which hooks provided on two cantilever arms at two lateral ends of said cable support are extended, and a screw hole, which corresponds to said screw hole provided near each lateral end of said cable patch board, such that said cable patch board and said mounting elements may be fixed to said frame by threading fastening means through mounting holes on said first bent section of said mounting elements and said wings of said cable patch board against said frame.

2. The suspended type cable fixing-up rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said mounting elements includes two said bent sections which are bent toward two opposite directions;

said first bent section have an L-shaped cross section, and said second bent section have a U-shaped cross section.

3. The suspended type cable fixing-up rack as claimed in claim 2, wherein said U-shaped bent section includes a flat face portion, on which two said retaining holes are provided, and said screw hole is located between said two retaining holes.

4. The suspended type cable fixing-up rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cable support is provided with a plurality of spaced through holes, at each of which a fixture or other fastening means is provided, whereby a cable hung from said cable patch board and passing over said cable support is fixed to one of said through holes on said cable support by said fixture or said fastening means.

5. A suspended type cable fixing-up rack adapted to mount on a frame, comprising a cable patch board for a plurality of cables to connect thereto, a cable support, and a pair of mounting elements;

said cable patch board including two wings sideward extended from two outmost ends of said cable patch board and having mounting holes provided thereon;

said suspended type cable fixing-up rack being characterized in that each of said mounting elements includes at least two bent sections, a first one of which includes a flat head portion provided with mounting holes corresponding to said mounting holes on said wings of said cable patch board, and a second one of which includes retaining holes, into which hooks provided on two cantilever arms at two lateral ends of said cable support are extended, and is spot welded at predetermined point to said cable patch board;

such that said cable patch board and said mounting elements may be fixed to said frame by threading fastening means through mounting holes on said first bent section of said mounting elements and said wings of said cable patch board against said frame.

6. The suspended type cable fixing-up rack as claimed in claim 5, wherein each of said mounting elements includes two said bent sections which are bent toward two opposite directions;

said first bent section have an L-shaped cross section, and said second bent section have a U-shaped cross section.

7. The suspended type cable fixing-up rack as claimed in claim 6, wherein said U-shaped bent section includes a flat face portion, on which two said retaining holes are provided, and said U-shaped bent section being spot welded at a free edge to said cable patch board.

8. The suspended type cable fixing-up rack as claimed in claim 5, wherein said cable support is provided with a plurality of spaced through holes, at each of which a fixture or other fastening means is provided, whereby a cable hung from said cable patch board and passing over said cable support is fixed to one of said through holes on said cable support by said fixture or said fastening means.
