Disclosed is a pipe vibration-proof channel capable of preventing vibration generated in a pipe from being transferred to the outside. Here, since a vertical channel connected to a horizontal channel on which the pipe is disposed is disposed to be separated from a structural section steel member, it is possible to prevent the vibration generated in the pipe from being transferred to the structural section steel member. Also, since a vibration-proof unit capable of absorbing the vibration of the pipe is disposed on a pipe fixing portion configured to fix a vibration-proof bracket and the pipe, it is possible to prevent the vibration of the pipe from being transferred to the vertical channel.

An electronic equipment rack comprises a frame comprising a plurality of horizontal portions welded to a plurality of vertical portions, and a plurality of weld studs on surfaces of at least one of one or more of the plurality of vertical portions and one or more of the plurality of horizontal portions. One or more additional portions are attached to the frame via one or more of the plurality of weld studs.

A connection node assembly for use in connecting an upper prefabricated building module to a lower module. Hollow vertical edge supports of the building modules have top and bottom connection parts. A connecting bolt can be passed through the top part of an upper vertical support in the upper building module and seated within the bottom part of that vertical support with the shank extending downward. The shank engages a threaded aperture in a connecting nut secured within the top part of a corresponding lower vertical support in the lower building module. Diaphragm plates sandwiched between the upper and lower vertical supports are used to tie horizontally placed modules together.

The present invention is directed to a covering for a clamping assembly used to connect and ground solar panel modules to a mounting rail. The covering comprises a sleeve including an outer cover for connecting to the solar panel module and a connector shaped to be contained within the outer cover and connected to the outer cover through two or more flanges. The connector has an opening there through to receive a female member of the clamping assembly.

A mechanism for securing tubes in a fixed position is described wherein a body to which a tube is to be fixed has at least one smooth bore hole extending therethrough. A tube has an inner diameter accommodating fluid flow and an outer diameter passing through the smooth bore hole in slip fit relation with the smooth bore of the hole. A threaded hole with helical grooves is parallel to the smooth bore hole and located such that its grooves intersect the diameter of the smooth bore hole. A set screw made of a tougher material than the tube has threads that will seat in the threaded hole in a manner such that advancing the set screw scratches the outer diameter of the tube to a depth wherein the set screw retains the tube in place without deformation of the inner diameter of the tube whereby fluid flow in the tube is not affected by advancement of the set screw while the tube is retained in place by the set screw. The invention can connect tubes in all sorts of patterns with many center-to-center tube distances.

The invention is directed to a construction tube which has a circular cross section, wherein the circular cross section including two circular stretches and two flat stretches diametrically opposite from each other which define two parallel planes interrupting the circular stretches. It enables the advantages of construction tubes with a circular cross section and the advantages of tubes with a polygonal cross section to be combined. The construction tube can be joined to a connectable element, which is preferably selected from another construction tube and an output shaft of a reducer of a solar tracker, in particular, using inner parts and/or clamps. The construction tube of the invention has a special application in solar collection systems, making up a torsion shaft of a solar tracker.

A mount is provided for mounting a plate to a frame assembly. The mount includes a generally cylindrical head extendable through an aperture the plate and having an upper surface, a lower face, an outer peripheral surface, and a mounting rail receivable in a slot of the frame member of the frame assembly. The cylindrical head includes a bolt-receiving bore extending through the cylindrical head along a bore axis at an acute angle to the upper face that is adapted to receive a bolt therethrough. A flange extends radially extending from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical head. The flange has a diameter greater than the diameter of at least a portion of the aperture through the plate. Tightening of the bolt captures the plate between the flange and the frame member.

A rod connector is provided including a disc portion, a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion. The disc portion has a first side configured to engage a first rod and a second side configured to engage a second rod. The first shaft portion extends from the first side of the disc portion and includes threads along at least a portion of the length thereof for engaging threads of the first rod to draw the first rod into engagement with the disc portion. The second shaft portion extends from the second side of the disc portion and includes threads along at least a portion of the length thereof for engaging threads of the second rod to draw the second rod into engagement with the disc portion.
