A universal one piece restraint bracket particularly suited for use with wire rope or cable for transverse, longitudinal and combined transverse and longitudinal seismic bracing systems for supporting an object. The bracket is generally L shaped to define a flattened apertured central portion with two wing portions generally at right angles to each other, apertured at their free ends and joined to the flattened central portion, each wing being elevated or upwardly bent away from the plane of the central portion. Aircraft type cables or wire rope connect the bracket to an adjacent support structure with the central portion of the bracket being secured to an object to be supported, whereby the bracing system acts in tension only so as to dampen earthquake loads and forces and thus is not subject to compression loads. A single bracket accommodates a wide variety of seismic bracing, and the bracket is configured for stacking with another bracket where necessary.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A universal one piece restraint bracket in a cable sway bracing system for selective attachment to a structural element mounting surface and to a mounting surface of an object braced to reduce sway damage and comprisinga planar base having an aperture therethrough to receive a mounting fastener for attachment to a mounting surface;first and second wing portions integrally formed with the base;the wing portions extending away from the base in generally perpendicular relation to one another and cooperating with the base to jointly form a generally L-shaped member of unitary configuration, the wing portions each being bent upwardly from the base at an angle to the plane of the base, the wing portions each having an aperture therethrough, such that line projections from the aperture of the base to each wing aperture intersect at the aperture of the base at about a 90.degree. angle.
