A valve assembly with a multidirectional flow path includes a valve body that includes respective hinged portions defining respective passageways extending through the valve body when in a closed state. A flexible conduit or tubing having a loop portion and a plurality of branches extending from the loop portion is at least partially positioned within the valve body. Portions of the loop that extend beyond the valve body are encapsulated by respective rigid jackets. Multiple valves are situated on the valve body and are used to selectively pinch the loop portion in different pinching configurations to direct fluid to or from the particular branches. The valve assembly may be integrated into a manufacturing or other production process with optional additional jackets used to encapsulate the flexible conduit branches.

Insert designed to be fitted on a support, including a body extending along a longitudinal axis and a base including at least one plate extending along a base plane, at least one through hole oriented along an orientation axis perpendicular to the base plane being formed in said at least one plate, at least one protuberance being formed on a first surface of said at least one plate and forming a hollow on a second surface of said at least one plate.

A grommet (20, 30) as part of a fastening element for a building envelope essentially comprises a head (21), a tip (22) and a sleeve (23) therebetween, wherein the head (21) is essentially constructed as an extensive washer (24), the central hole of which is adjoined by the tubular sleeve (23). The tip (22) narrows essentially in a conical or tapered manner to a smaller diameter. The grommet (20, 30) has a sensor arrangement (25), with at least one RFID transponder with antenna and a sensor operatively connected to the transponder.

An anchor for wallboard installation includes an elongated anchor body including a driving end and a wall boring end. The anchor body has a main body portion running from the driving end toward the wall boring end. The wall boring end includes a plurality of axially cutting extending teeth. The anchor body includes an internal bore and diametrically opposed slots to facilitate split of an end portion of the anchor body when the anchor is installed in a wall and a fastener is inserted for mounting an object.

An anchor assembly for wall installation includes a toggle body that is elongated along an axis, and a strap connected to and extending from the toggle body, wherein the strap includes a main segment that extends in a first direction away from an axis of the toggle body when the strap and toggle body are in an unstressed state, and the main segment is bendable down toward the toggle body such that the main segment extends in a second direction, where the second direction runs more closely to parallel with the axis than does the first direction. A locking sleeve mounted for movement along the strap toward the toggle body. The strap is substantially L-shaped and includes a small segment extending laterally relative to the main segment, wherein the small segment is seated within a recess on the toggle body.

An anchor assembly for wallboard installation includes a toggle body that is elongated along a toggle body axis, the toggle body including opposed first and second arms and a slot between the first and second arms. A toggle nut is elongated along a toggle nut axis, the toggle nut mounted in the slot of the toggle body for pivot between an install orientation seated in the slot and an anchoring orientation protruding from the slot.

An anchor for wallboard installation includes an anchor body elongated along an axis, the anchor body including a driving end, a wall boring end and an internal bore running from the driving end to an internal end short of a distal tip of the wall boring end. The anchor body includes a first frusto-conical body portion, a second frusto-conical body portion running from the first frusto-conical body portion to an annular groove and an end body portion running from the annular groove toward the distal tip.

A device and method for securing objects of almost any sizes and shapes to a wall is disclosed.

A hanger comprising a length of cord suitable for the size of object to be hung, a hook shaped block with screw mounting holes, a thru hole, perpendicular and slightly below to the mounting holes for passing the length of cord, and a slot parallel to the thru hole . The thru hole and the slot should be of the same size, slightly larger than diameter of the cord.

The block is mounted to a wall by screws or other means such as double sided tape, rail mount system, peg board hook etc.

The cord of suitable length for the object is inserted into the thru hole and knotted on both end. With one of the knot resting against one side of the device, the rest of the cord is then looped on the object to be hung and then inserted into the slot, letting the other knot resting against the other side of the device.

To provide a post-installed anchor capable of being used repeatedly and being easily removed and recovered. A post-installed anchor to be inserted and fixed in an anchor insertion hole formed in a structure includes: a cylindrical anchor body; expandable pieces obtained by dividing the tip side of the anchor body into a plurality of pieces by a plurality of slits 16 which are formed on the tip side, leaving equal intervals in a circumferential direction and extending in the axial direction of the anchor body, the expandable pieces each having a plate-like part whose surface is formed into a flat surface and which has spring force, a fixing part formed at the tip of the expandable piece and having a larger thickness than that of the plate-like part, and an inclined part whose inner surface is gradually inclined inward toward the tip of the expandable piece; a female screw formed in an inner surface of an unexpandable part side of the anchor body; and a male screw body formed into a substantially columnar shape that can be inserted into the anchor body, having a wedge part with a truncated conical shape at its tip, having a male screw screwed with a female screw formed in the anchor body at its rear end side, and having a rotary tool engagement part at its rear end surface. The male screw body is advanced with the male screw of the male screw body screwed with the female screw of the anchor body to make the truncated conical shaped wedge part at the tip of the male screw body abut against the inclined part formed so that the inner surface thereof is gradually inclined inward toward the tip side of the expandable piece to expand the expandable piece by wedge action, pressing the outer surface of the fixing part against the hole wall of the anchor insertion hole, which thereby fixes the post-installed anchor in the anchor insertion hole, and the male screw body is retracted to close the expanded expandable piece by spring force of the plate-like part of the expandable piece for recovery and reuse.
