JOINT BLOCK SUITABLE FOR BOTH RECTANGULAR PIPES AND ROUND PIPES
A joint block suitable for both rectangular pipes and round pipes has a base having a plurality of separated elastic petals evenly and peripherally disposed at an end of the base. A through aperture is disposed in a center position of the base, another end of the base has a circular ring, and the circular ring comprising at least a facet providing a contact surface. An outer surface of the circular ring contacts an inner surface of the round tubular railing, the contact surface contacts an inner surface of the rectangular tubular railing, and the elastic petals pushes against the inner surface of the round tubular railing or the rectangular tubular railing.
Partition clip
A universal partition clip is formed from a single piece of sheet metal and is adapted to be efficiently mounted to the underside of a T-bar flange. The clip comprises a bottom panel of generally uniform width and a pair of parallel side panels with a pair of generally coplanar lips spaced above the bottom panel. Integral resilient tabs are spaced above the bottom panel and have portions slightly above the lips. The tabs and lips cooperate to mount the clip to the flange portion of the T-bar member.
Exhaust pipe support body
An exhaust pipe support body including: an attachment member configured to be attached to one of a vehicle body and an exhaust pipe; a center attachment part configured to be attached to another of the vehicle body and the exhaust pipe, the center attachment part having a vertical lengthwise dimension that is larger than a lateral widthwise dimension thereof and being arranged in an installation hole provided to the attachment member; and a plurality of connection arms elastically connecting the center attachment part to the attachment member, the connection arms being integrally formed with the center attachment part and remote from each other in a vertical lengthwise direction between opposed faces of each of left and right sides of the center attachment part and corresponding one of left and right side walls of the installation hole.
ATTACHMENT DEVICE FOR A NON-STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF A BUILDING
An attachment device for securing a non-structural component of a building to a structural component of the building includes an attachment device member configured to be attached to the non-structural component and to partially surround the non-structural component. A fastening component forms a connection between the non-structural component and the attachment device member. The connection does not compress the non-structural component and inhibits movement of the non-structural component relative to the attachment device member. An attachment component is coupled to the attachment device member and attaches to the structural component for securing the non-structural component to the structural component via the attachment device member.
BUSHING ASSEMBLY FOR TUBULAR STRUCTURES AND A SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING A TUBULAR STRUCTURE TO A MOUNTING STRUCTURE INCORPORATING THE SAME
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.
Decorative Element Display System
The present display system enables the display and rearrangement of one or more decorative elements on a base structure to create a decorative arrangement that can be easily and selectively adjusted to move or rotate the decorative elements. The display system generally comprises an attachment assembly mounted on a base structure and supporting a decorative element support. An angular adjustment lock and a lateral adjustment lock permits the decorative element support to rotate and translate relative to the base structure. The base structure comprises one or more mounts arranged on a face of the base structure. The mounts receive and support one or more attachment assemblies. Using the present display system, multiple decorative elements can be adjusted to create aesthetically pleasing compositions of complementary or connected decorative elements.
CONVEYOR AXLE RETAINER
The present disclosure relates to an axle retainer and associated conveyor system. An example axle retainer is defined by a housing that includes a first surface configured to be secured to an inner-sidewall of a conveyor frame and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface defines two or more apertures configured to mount a conveyor roller axle therein. Each aperture includes a snap-fit bracket defining two arms each with a corresponding protrusion. The two arms of the snap-fit bracket are configured to expand from a first position to a second position within the aperture to receive a conveyor roller axle and rebut from the second position to the first position such that the pair of corresponding protrusions defined by the two arms of the snap-fit bracket retain the conveyor roller axle in the aperture.
DEFORMABLE INSERTION FASTENING ARRANGEMENT FOR FASTENING ONTO A METAL SHEET/PLASTIC COMPOSITE PLY STRUCTURE
A deformable insertion fastening arrangement for insertion into a planar ply structure and for retention thereon by subsequent deformation, including a retention component having a passthrough opening passing through it along a passthrough axis and having a fastening configuration for fastening a further component thereonto; the retention component having at least two portions that are radially displaceable relative to the notional passthrough axis that passes centrally through the passthrough opening, the retention component, when considered in its undeformed initial state, is embodied segmentedly in a circumferential direction around the passthrough axis; at least two segments, constituting the radially displaceable portions, being connected to one another by at least one connecting configuration deformable in a circumferential direction; at least one segment being displaceable in a radial direction away from the passthrough axis against a shape inertia force of the at least one connecting configuration, accompanied by enlargement of the passthrough opening.
Bushing assembly for tubular structures and a system for mounting a tubular structure to a mounting structure incorporating the same
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.
FIXING DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A FIRST COMPONENT TO A SECOND COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MAKING A FIXING DEVICE
A fixing device for connecting a first component to a second component. The fixing device includes an elastic main body having a connecting area with an inner housing to allow the passage of a securing element of the first component. The securing element has a widened head configured such that, upon passing through the inner housing of the connecting area, it is retained and fixed in the connecting area. The fixing device also includes a reinforcement configured to reinforce the connecting area for the purpose of preventing the removal of the securing element from the fixing device. The reinforcement is arranged on an outer surface of the connecting area such that the reinforcement surrounds the connecting area. The reinforcement being removeable from the elastic main body and not embedded, overmolded, or fixed permanently to the elastic main body.
