Abstract

A cable suspension clamp is provided comprising a roller capable in use of rotating as a cable is drawn across it, and securing means comprising a length of material having a central locking portion adapted to engage the roller and a pair of helical arms adapted to be intertwined with, and grip, the cable once the cable is in extended position. Using this clamp it is possible to mount a plurality of rollers along the intended path of the cable, draw cable over the rollers, and secure the cable to the rollers without having to remove the rollers as is conventional practice.
