Method and apparatus for suspending a package in an elevated position
One embodiment provides a method and apparatus for suspending air conditioning duct works from a support structure comprising unistrut type support beams which apparatus includes a plurality of support brackets arranged and configured for being slidably interlockable with the interior of the unistrut beam members. The support brackets can be slid inside the interior of the support beam until adjacent a support beam which support beam can be connected to the support bracket. In like manner additional support brackets can be inserted into the interior of the support beam members to be adjustably located next to their respective support rod. In such manner multiple support rods can be used to support a frame member even where the support rods are not symmetrically located along the length of the support beam as the support bracket can be slid/moved inside the support beam until lining up with its respective support rod. Additionally, the entire support framework can be moved relative to the plurality of support rods by sliding the framework relative to the support brackets. In such manner the location of the supporting frame member can be changed without moving the support rods.
CLAMP ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR SECURING A CLAMP ASSEMBLY TO A STRUT
A clamp assembly for securing a conduit to a strut, the clamp assembly includes a pair of brackets, each bracket having a head section and a tail section. The respective tail sections of the pair of brackets being configured to be received within the strut and the pair of brackets having respective apertures formed in the respective head sections thereof. A bolt has a shank that is configured to be received within the respective apertures of the pair of brackets. A nut has a bore therein, the bore is configured to receive the shank of the bolt. Each of the respective apertures includes a pair of opposite, rounded surfaces spaced from each other and connected by a pair of opposite, elongated surfaces.
Adapter for mounting cable hangers
An adapter for mounting cable hangers includes: a floor, a ceiling and side walls that span the floor and ceiling, wherein the ceiling includes a mounting hole; and a cross-member that extends between the side walls that defines at least one window between the cross-member, the floor and one of the side walls.

GYPSUM SLURRY APPLICATION MODIFIER
A gypsum slurry modifier device is provided for use with a gypsum mixer outlet boot having at least one tubular outlet leg, and includes a support bracket mountable to the outlet boot; at least one clamp member associated with the support bracket and constructed and arranged for engaging the at least one tubular outlet leg of the outlet boot. Each at least one clamp member is constructed and arranged for exerting a vertical compression force on the associated at least one tubular outlet leg for expanding a slurry outlet flow from the at least one leg laterally beyond an exterior surface of the leg.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR HOSE HANGER APPARATUS
Various methods and systems are provided for a hose hanger apparatus comprising an attachment clip, an elastic support connected to the attachment clip, a carabiner assembly connector connected to the elastic support, and a carabiner assembly connected to the carabiner assembly connector.
Wire management systems and methods
A wire management system for managing electronic wiring in relation to a structure. An elongate mounting track has a spine and locking ribs forming first and second longitudinal locking formations, and a wire management cradle has a panel of mesh forming a central cradle section and first and second attachment sections with receiving channels forming first and second longitudinal locking formations for being selectively attached to the first and second longitudinal locking formations of the mounting track. A proximal portion of one of the attachment sections can be divided into plural segments separated by openings to allow the passage of wires. An accessory rail can selectively and adjustably retain accessories, including wire management clips and power units. The wire management clip and other accessories have retaining formation corresponding in shape to the shape of a retaining formation of the accessory rail.
Pipe hanger
A clip for suspending a horizontal pipe from a ceiling joist has a cut ring for supporting the pipe, two prongs projecting from the ring, and securing holes in the prongs for securing the prongs to the joist with a nail or screw. The pipe enters the ring through the cut. The clip is then secured into a closed position, with the cut ends of the cylinder in close contact. Each prong has a lower end, which is angled slightly toward the cut, and an upper end bent at a large angle from the lower end. In closed position, the upper prongs align in parallel, with one prong directly in front of the other. The securing holes in the two prongs are then aligned so that a nail or screw can pass through both of them. The clip, ideally constructed from plastic, is inexpensive and easy to install and reuse.
Pipe that is Friction Forge Bonded to a Ladder Support through a Stud and a Bracket
In some implementations, an apparatus comprises a pipe, a stud that is forge-welded to the pipe, creating a forge-welded stud, a bracket that is operably coupled to the forge-welded stud, and a ladder support operably coupled to the bracket.
FLAT FLEXIBLE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR AND SUPPORTING DEVICE THEREFOR
An assembly of a flat flexible electrical conductor and a supporting device that quickly and easily supports an intermediate portion of a flat flexible electrical conductor on a support surface. The flat flexible electrical conductor includes a plurality of electrically conductive traces supported on an electrically non-conductive insulator. The electrically non-conductive insulator has an opening extending therethrough. The supporting device includes a head portion and a shaft portion. The head portion includes first and second flanges disposed on opposite sides of the flat flexible electrical conductor and an intermediate portion that extends through the opening of the electrically non-conductive insulator.
