A grommet for surrounding a conduit received through a hole in a part, including a grommet body configured for engagement with a perimeter of the hole in the part and defining a closed or substantially closed perimeter, and a plurality fingers, the fingers extending axially from the grommet body and being circumferentially spaced from one another, each of the fingers being elongated and having a free end axially spaced from the grommet body. An assembly includes the part, the grommet, the conduit, and an adjustable length fastener spaced from the part, the adjustable length fastener forming a loop having an adjustable perimeter, the conduit and the fingers extending within the loop, the adjustable length fastener retaining the fingers against the outer surface of the conduit. A method of supporting a conduit within a hole through a part is also discussed.

A removable bracket includes a generally planar body having a front face, a rear face, a first longitudinal side, a second longitudinal side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. Each of the first lateral side and the second lateral side extends between the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side and includes a lip extending outwardly from the front face. A lateral axis bisects the body and a longitudinal axis bisects the body. The body is symmetrical about each of the lateral and longitudinal axes. Two supports extending generally perpendicularly outwardly from the front face proximate to and on either side of the lateral axis. A kit includes a plurality of the brackets, and at least one of a rod, a first shelf, a plurality of extension pieces, and a second shelf.

A modular system for furniture, exhibition structures having wall modules with wall surfaces situated opposite one anotheropposite front and rear surfaces and opposite contact areas, comprising connecting elements connecting the wall modules having L-shaped, T-shaped or cruciform cross-sectional area. The wall modules have a recess for receiving the connecting element which is matched to the shape of the recess. The recess runs from the contact area on one side of the wall module, in the direction of the contact area, on the other side of the wall module and passes through the wall module in the direction of a wall surface to the opposite wall surface, and is situated between sections of the front surface and rear surface which are situated opposite one another. The connecting elements, when they are inserted into the recess in a wall module, correspond to the distance between the wall surfaces.

An expansion connector for an outdoor entertainment equipment, includes a base plate and a mounting tube, the base plate includes a flat plate portion, and two wing portions formed by bending from two opposite sides of the flat plate portion toward a same direction, the two opposite sides of the flat plate portion connecting with the two wing portions are not parallel, inclination directions of the two wing portions are opposite, the two wing portions and the flat plate portion jointly define an outdoor entertainment equipment bracket assembly area, the flat plate portion forms at least two first connection through holes, each of the two wing portions forms at least one second connection through hole, the mounting tube is disposed on the flat plate portion and extends in a direction opposite to that of the two wing portions, and the mounting tube forms at least one third connection through hole.

An anchor and railing assembly for anchoring a baluster or balustrade to both outdoor and indoor structures, such as raised, generally flat or angled roof-like structures or indoor stairs or floors, which includes an anchor baseplate with a top surface and a bottom surface, and an internally threaded bore extending at least partially from the top surface generally towards the bottom surface, a baluster, fasteners for fastening the baluster to the anchor baseplate via its bore, and fasteners for fastening the anchor baseplate to either an outdoor or indoor structure.

A mounting system for securely mounting a component, comprising: a mounting platform having a support surface with plurality of mounting holes extending therethrough; a mounting device for securing the component to the mounting platform, the mounting device comprising: a mounting plate with a planar surface facing in a first direction and a stud extending in a second direction away from the first direction, the stud being configured to be inserted through the mounting holes; an adhesive secured to the planar surface and having an engagement surface for adhering to a surface of the component; a fastening device for releasably engaging a portion of the stud inserted through one of the mounting holes to releasably secure the mounting device to the mounting plate.

The inventive technology relates to an improved dual display support system that may support a plurality of support adapters each having one or more fitting supports coupled with fitting displays to more efficiently place, support, and/or retrieve elevated displays, and other promotional/marketing materials having multiple anchor positions.

A device for anchoring components or parts to a rigid element, such as an engine block, for example, or to intermediate elements which are in turn fixed to rigid elements, such as an intermediate pin mounted on the engine block, for example. The anchor consists of a structure which can be manufactured from stamped and punched sheet metal parts giving rise to an inexpensive and easy-to-manufacture component. The particular configuration based on stamped and punched sheet metal parts shows high rigidity and is particularly suitable for anchoring heavy components. The fixing anchor is suitable for bolted joints of the components or parts.
