Claims
- 1. A support assembly for supporting at least one elongate member, said support assembly including an elongate first component comprised of a base wall and an upstanding wall providing first and second surface portions, respectively, adjacently disposed in first and second mutually perpendicular planes with said first surface portion extending laterally from said second surface portion; and a second component disengageably mounted on said upstanding wall and providing at least a first contact portion with a first surface element spaced laterally away from said second plane and disposed proximate said first surface portion of said base wall, said first surface element of said first contact portion and an element of said second surface portion of said upstanding wall lying on a third plane that is mutually perpendicular with said first plane and is convergent with said second plane, said surface elements of said first contact portion and said second surface portion, and said first surface portion on said base wall, being configured to provide support for an elongate member abutted thereagainst.
- 2. The support assembly of claim 1 wherein said second surface portion is a planar surface.
- 3. The support assembly of claim 1 wherein said upstanding wall projects from said base wall.
- 4. The support assembly of claim 3 wherein said upstanding wall has two opposite sides, one of said sides comprising said second surface portion and the other of said sides comprising a third surface portion, and wherein said upstanding wall is so disposed as to provide an area of said first surface portion lying to each of said sides of said upstanding wall, said third surface portion being disposed in a fourth plane; and wherein said second component provides a second contact portion with a second surface element spaced laterally away from said fourth plane and disposed proximate the underlying one of said areas of said first surface portion of said base wall, said second surface element of said second contact portion, and an element of said third surface portion of said upstanding wall, lying on a fifth plane that is mutually perpendicular with said first plane and is convergent with said fourth plane, said surface elements of said second contact portion and said third surface portion being configured to provide support for an elongate member abutted thereagainst.
- 5. The support assembly of claim 4 wherein said second and third surface portions are both planar surfaces.
- 6. The support assembly of claim 4 wherein said second component is a U-shaped piece, dimensioned and configured to seat on said upstanding wall and to provide said first and second contact portions.
