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 preloadable trigger-release-clip that may be ceiling triggered for lighting module installation is described, including systems and methods of use. The trigger-release-clip may include a base-plate, a trigger, a clip, and a stop. The base-plate may be a structural member that attaches to a lighting module. The trigger may be in communication with the base-plate. The clip, with a torsion-spring, may be in communication with the base-plate. The stop may be in communication with the trigger. In a pre-loaded configuration, the stop may be in an up position that prevents the clip from actuating. In a final configuration, the stop has been retracted into a down position by the trigger being depressed by a bottom of a ceiling that may allow the clip to actuate, such that a terminal end of the clip pivots to grab a top of the ceiling securing the lighting module to the ceiling.

A utensil attachment. The utensil attachment includes a base having an upper side and a lower side. A housing is affixed to the upper side of the base, and a fastener is affixed to the lower side of the base. A power supply is operably connected to a motion sensor and an audio playback mechanism, wherein the audio playback mechanism includes a speaker disposed on the housing. The motion sensor is configured to detect movement of the housing, and the audio playback mechanism is configured to activate and emit sound through the speaker if the motion sensor detects no motion for a predetermined amount of time. The device can be secured to a child's eating utensil, whereby the sounds emitted by the speaker provide encouragement the child to eat their food.

A medical holding arm, comprising at least one joint with two joint bodies which are rotatable relative to each other about a rotational axis (D), wherein a first of the joint bodies has a plurality of locking pins and a second of the joint bodies has a plurality of locking recesses, the number of locking pins differs from the number of locking recesses, the locking pins each have an axially tapered engagement part, the locking recesses are respectively formed axially tapered to selectively receive each of the engagement parts for locking the joint, and when the joint is locked, at least one of the locking pins is received with its tapered engagement part completely in one of the tapered locking recesses, while at least one of the other locking pins is received with its tapered engagement part only partially in one of the other tapered locking recesses.

A grommet for installation in an opening of a panel comprises an elastically deformable material having a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end of a grommet body. The grommet body comprises an aperture extending longitudinally through the grommet body between the proximal end and the distal end. A wall-engaging segment defines a longitudinal segment of the aperture and is located to be enclosed by a wall of the opening when the grommet is installed in the panel. A clamping element occludes the aperture in the wall-engaging segment and comprises at least one longitudinally extending through-hole sized and configured to receive an elongated element. The clamping element is located to apply a compressive force on the elongated element to retain the elongated element in the through-hole of the grommet body responsive to disposition of the wall-engaging segment in the opening of the panel.

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.

Advantageous mounting flanges for measuring devices and related methods of use are provided. The present disclosure provides advantageous mounting flanges configured to be mounted to measuring devices/instruments (e.g., pressure or temperature measuring devices/instruments), and related methods of use. More particularly, the present disclosure provides advantageous systems/methods for the design and use of user-friendly press-on mounting flanges configured to be mounted to pressure and temperature instruments (e.g., to the case of pressure or temperature gauges) to allow the instruments to be secured to a supporting structure (e.g., to a panel) via the mounting flanges. Disclosed herein is an advantageous mounting flange configured to be mounted to a case of a measuring device/gauge, thereby allowing the measuring device/gauge to be mounted to and held in a panel via the mounting flange. As such, the gauge case mounting flange is configured to hold the measuring gauge in place in the panel.
