HELICAL JUMPER CONNECTOR
A helical jumper connector includes a helical support member configured to support a wire. The helical support member includes a first leg having a first helical winding and a second leg having a second helical winding that defines a second axial opening. The first axial opening and the second axial opening are coaxial with the wire when the first helical winding and the second helical winding are wrapped around the wire and cooperatively engage with one another to support the wire. A jumper casting is configured to receive the helical support member. The helical support member and the jumper casting are electrically conductive such that the helical jumper connector forms an electrically conductive pathway to carry electrical current from the wire. A method of making a helical jumper connector assembly includes applying a compression force to a helical jumper connector comprising a helical support member received in a jumper casting.
ADJUSTABLE HUB AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING ONE OR MORE ITEMS ONTO A STAND
There is provided a hub, mountable accessory and apparatus for supporting one or more items onto a stand. The apparatus includes: a hub mountable to the pole, the hub including a central member defining a central channel for receiving the pole, the central member defining one or more mounting slots on a periphery of the central member; and one or more mountable accessories mountable to the hub, each of the one or more mountable accessories including a support, for supporting one or more of the items, and a complementary mounting post affixed to the support, the complementary mounting post dimensioned to be slid into a respective one of the mounting slots.
NET ASSEMBLY
A net assembly comprising a) a first elongated member, b) a second elongated flexible member, c) a third elongated flexible member, d) a first connector, and e) a second connector, f) said first connector connecting the first elongated member and second elongated flexible member, g) said second connector connecting the second and third elongated flexible members, h) said first connector having a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to the first elongated member and said second end being connected to the second elongated flexible member, i) said second connector having a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to the second elongated flexible member and the second end being connected to the third elongated flexible member, and j) said first and/or said second end of said first and second connectors comprising a longitudinal displacement preventing element.
Flexible connection between the floor structure and the hull structure of an aircraft
The disclosure herein relates to a part of an aircraft structure including a portion of a floor structure and a portion of a hull structure, connected to one another by a connecting element. In accordance with, the disclosure herein the connecting element includes a flexible cable fixed at one of the ends thereof to the portion of a floor structure and fixed at the other, second of the ends thereof to the portion of a hull structure. When the connection between the portion of a floor structure and the portion of a hull structure is subjected to tensile load, the flexible cable makes it possible to meet the standards of resistance to forward accelerations of the aircraft. When the connection is subjected to compressive load, the flexible cable relaxes and bends, which limits the requirements of withstanding compressive stresses and therefore the weight of the connecting element.

MONOFILAMENT LINE HOLDER FOR GRASS TRIMMERS
A device for holding lines in a holder secured around an object such as a shaft of garden equipment. The device comprises a hollow body having an outer surface and an inner surface, two opposing end surfaces; a plurality of longitudinal bores passing through the body from the end surfaces, wherein each of the bores is configured to receive and hold an individual line; and at least one fastener to secure the body to an object. Each of the bores has a substantially straight axis so that the individual lines when inserted, remain securely retained, and are conveniently removed when needed. The device body may be further divided into two body segments with one or more flanges on each of the two body segments, and an aperture on each of the one or more flanges for receiving a fastener to securely lock the body to the object.
