Abstract
A bracket for supporting an electrical device on a cable tray. A receiving area includes an aperture for fastening the electrical device. A plurality of retainers flanks the receiving area. The retainers are planar-formed of an integral, uniform-thickness sheet with the receiving area. The retainers extend away from each other on opposite sides of the receiving area, each formed with a relief of locally thickness-reduced sheet material along a line to define at least one fold axis for conforming the retainer to a portion of the cable tray to retain the bracket with respect to the cable tray, with the plurality of retainers extending directly over top outer edges of the cable tray. One or more of the retainers are provided along a first edge of the bracket for engaging a first edge of the cable tray, the first edge devoid of any fasteners and devoid of any fastener apertures.
