A mounting system for mounting an element to a surface includes a mounting post having a base configured for mounting to a surface. The mounting post is threaded on an outer surface. A mounting plate is configured for being secured to the element to be mounted and has a center opening for receiving the mounting post so that the mounting plate is freely movable along the mounting post. An adjustment plate includes a threaded opening to receive the mounting post. The adjustment plate is configured to incrementally rotate on the threaded mounting post for adjusting the position of the adjustment plate along the mounting post and with respect to the surface. The adjustment plate is configured for being fixed to the mounting plate at a plurality of incremental positions of the adjustment plate to secure the mounting plate at a selected position along the mounting post and thereby adjust the distance between the surface and mounted element.

A rail attachment for supporting a support rail includes two rail brackets engaging with and securing the support rail therebetween, a connector securing the two rail brackets to one another and including an attachment unit suspending the rail brackets and support rail, each the rail bracket including a support section engaging and secured to the support rail and each bracket further including a first connection section extending over the support rail, an intermediate region and a distal region whereby the distal region is spaced from the support section by the intermediate section and wherein the distal region is of a greater length than the intermediate region as considered in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the intermediate region spaces the distal region from the support section, and the connector including a second connection section securing the distal regions of the rail engagement brackets relative to one another.

A snap coupling system for pieces or metallic or non metallic coupling members, that require to be attached perpendicularly in a T fashion, in a cross + fashion or angularly, by which a tubular male coupling member having one or more retention tabs that are temporally flexed, enters in slots or receiving apertures of another piece or female coupling member, tubular or planar, where they engage, by which they can be readily attached two tubular members or one tubular member and one planar member, in a perpendicular way, in a cross fashion or angularly, without the necessity of using skilled labor.

A hold-down clamp for holding a cable tray on a strut channel includes a main body member extending between first and second ends, opposed side walls extending downwardly and perpendicularly from the main body member, and first and second side members extending from each of the opposed side walls. The main body member has a first end defining a clamp engagement portion and a second end defining an expansion guide portion. Each of the first and second side members includes a flange having a clamp engagement structure, a planar middle structure, and an expansion guide structure that are integrally connected to each other, and a clamping tooth, which is defined between the clamp engagement structure of the flange and the side wall such that the clamping tooth transitions into the clamp engagement structure of the flange and the side wall of the hold-down clamp.

A combination structure for a base member and an erect member, and a manufacturing method thereof, are disclosed. The combination structure includes a base member comprising a slot and a through hole in communications with the slot. An erect member is inserted into the slot, and a combining member detachably engages with the through hole. The combining member thereby fixedly positions the erect member in the slot when the combining member is joined to the through hole.

Examples of first node elements, second node elements, and kits are disclosed. Also, methods for assembling a lattice structure are disclosed. A first node element has a coupling side, the coupling side further having one or more hollow insertion channels, each channel being configured to receive one of the elongated bars, and each channel having a longitudinal axis, and the longitudinal axis of each channel being tilted at an angle with respect to a plane defined by the coupling side. Moreover, the first node element has a contact side, the contact side having an opening, the opening communicating with each of the hollow insertion channels forming a corresponding through-hole such that to form the lattice structure the elongated bars are inserted into the hollow channels from the contact side to the coupling side and traversing the corresponding through-hole.

An aircraft structural component that is adapted for absorbing and transmitting forces in an aircraft, the aircraft structural component comprising at least one panel element and at least one reinforcing structure. The at least one reinforcing structure is rigidly attached to the at least one panel element such that at least one cavity is defined between the at least one panel element and the at least one reinforcing structure, the at least one cavity being adapted for distributing forces that are absorbed by the aircraft structural component in operation.

A bushing assembly for tubular structures is disclosed. The bushing assembly includes a body having a substantially flat configuration and defining a planar surface and an outer edge; and a plurality of projections extending from the outer edge and traverse to the planar surface, each projection defining a longitudinal axis, each projection including at least one ridge extending at least partially along a surface of the projection and along the longitudinal axis.

A bracket assembly includes a supporting bar, a cylindrical member configured to slidably receive the supporting bar, an annular cap configured to removably couple with the cylindrical member, an arm extending outwardly from the annular cap, a torque cartridge, and a clamping element configured to releasably hold a frame. The torque cartridge includes a first portion and a second portion rotatably coupled with the first portion. The first portion of the torque cartridge is received within the arm such that the second portion of the torque cartridge is rotatable relative to the first portion and to the arm. The clamping element is coupled with the second portion of the torque cartridge at an outer end of the arm such that the clamping element is rotatable relative to the arm and to the annular cap.

A device (1) for mounting a sanitary component to a support, comprising at least: a mounting plate (2) having an adherend (3) for attaching the device (1) to the support; and a metal mesh (4), at least partially forming the adherend (3); and the use of the device.
