Abstract

A mounting hook to mount an object to a cable is provided. The mounting hook includes a base, a pair of arms, a pair of engaging sections and a clamping bridge. The base has at least one mounting aperture that is adapted to mount the base to the object. The pair of arms extend from the base. Each engaging section extends from a respective arm, and is adapted to engage a cable placed therein. The clamping bridge is coupled between the engaging sections.

1 . A mount hook comprising; 
 a base having at least one mounting aperture;    at least one pair of arms extending from the base;    at least one pair of engaging sections, each one of the engaging sections in a pair of engaging sections extending from an arm of an associated pair of arms, each engaging section adapted to engage a cable placed therein;    a clamping bridge coupled between the engaging sections of the at least one pair of engaging sections;    wherein the base, the at least one pair of arms and the clamping bridge form a clamp opening; and    wherein the clamp opening is adapted to allow a clamp to be coupled around the cable and the clamping bridge.    
     
     
         2 . The mount hook of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one mounting aperture is a pair of mounting apertures adapted to mount the mount hook to an object.  
     
     
         3 . The mount hook of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the engaging sections is generally in a C shape.  
     
     
         4 . The mount hook of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the engaging sections and the clamping bridge have teeth that are adapted to engage a surface of the cable.  
     
     
         5 . The mount hook of  claim 4 , wherein the number of teeth and the distance between the teeth are determined based on the size of the cable.  
     
     
         6 - 7 . (canceled)  
     
     
         8 . A mount hook comprising: 
 a base adapted to be coupled to an object;    a pair of arms extending from the base, the arms being spaced a distance apart from each other;    an engaging section extending from each arm, each engaging section formed generally in a C shape and being adapted to engage a cable;    teeth extending from at least one engaging section adapted to engage a surface of the cable;    a clamping bridge coupled between the engaging sections; and    wherein the base, the pair of arms and the clamping bridge form a clamp opening, the clamp opening adapted to allow a clamp to clamp the cable to the clamping bridge.    
     
     
         9 . The mount hook of  claim 8 , wherein the base further comprises: 
 a pair of mounting apertures adapted to be used to mount the base to an object.    
     
     
         10 . The mount hook of  claim 8 , wherein the number of teeth and the distance between teeth is dependant on the size of the cable.  
     
     
         11 . The mount hook of  claim 8 , wherein the teeth are rows of teeth.  
     
     
         12 - 15 . (canceled)  
     
     
         16 . The mount hook of  claim 8 , wherein the clamping bridge further comprises: 
 teeth adapted to engage a surface of the cable.    
     
     
         17 - 20 . (canceled)
