A device and method of positioning a component on a cable. The method includes: moving a collet into position on the component; engaging the component with the collet; moving the collet with the component positioned thereon into alignment with an end of the cable; securing the collet to the end of the cable; moving the component from the collet to the cable; and removing the collet from the end of the cable.

A bracket holds a rigid or flexible tube during the pouring of a concrete slab. The bracket has a base and a housing connected to the base. The tube curves around a first tube support on the housing before passing through an opening in the bottom of the housing. The tube and any members inside the tube are cut off so they end inside the housing and are then covered by a housing cap. The base is fastened to a form for the concrete slab. The height of the housing relative to the base is adjusted to place the cap at the planned surface of the concrete slab. After the concrete slab is formed the cap is removed and the cut members inside the housing are connected to other members or devices.

A hands-free device for use in filling tanks for storing liquids, particularly water tanks on recreational or commercial vehicles having either threaded or flange style collars. The device's spring clamp can be operatively moved between the open and closed positions to secure the clamp to the collar of the storage tank during use. The filler hose is then snapped into position within the body of the device which prevents inadvertent displacement.

An elongate profiled section element for a mounting system includes a bottom, a top section opposite the bottom, and sidewalls extending from the bottom to the top section. The top section includes two flanges which extend from the side walls and delimit between them a longitudinal slot. The top section has a smaller width than the bottom. At least one of the side walls is a stepped sidewall having a stepped shape seen in cross section. The stepped sidewall has two wall sections facing the opposite sidewall and an intermediate wall section substantially parallel to the bottom. The intermediate wall section is provided with a row of holes and the bottom is provided with a row of holes aligned therewith, said holes being adapted to cooperate with a self tapping screw.

A holder including a holding body configured for displaceable attachment to a rod and including a rod passage opening for the rod, and a clamping unit movable between a clamp position and an enable position. The clamping unit, in case of the holding body attached to the rod, in the enable position is capable of enabling a shifting movement of the holding body along the rod and in the clamp position is capable of exerting a clamping force to block a shifting movement of the holding body along the rod. An operating unit is provided for user-operated moving of the clamping unit between the clamp position and the enable position. The clamping unit is a wrap spring unit wrapping around the rod passage opening and comprising a plurality of wrap springs disposed adjacent to each other in a longitudinal axis direction of the rod passage opening, each spring wrapping around the rod passage opening over more than 180°, and/or a wrap spring wrapping around the rod passage opening over more than 360°, wherein the respective wrap spring is movable by the operating unit between a constricting condition providing the clamp position of the clamping unit and an enlarging condition providing the enable position of the clamping unit.

An external portable standpipe tool is an apparatus used to secure the nozzle of a pressurized water supply line to provide a reliable water supply for fire suppression in place of a conventional standpipe. The external portable standpipe tool utilizes a first bracket, a second bracket, an external mounting structure, and a plurality of bracket fasteners to mount a pressurized water supply line in a desirable location. The first bracket is removably engaged to the second bracket, enabling a user to capture and retain the nozzle and supply line. The plurality of bracket fasteners is engaged into the first bracket and the second bracket is used to fix them together. The external mounting structure attaches the combined assembly of the first bracket and the second bracket to an external structure, such as a railing or support beam.

A pneumatic hose fastener having a flange with a pair of overlapping non-concentric holes attached by a neck to a hook. The overlapping non-concentric holes are adapted to receive a pneumatic hose and quick-connect coupler body. The hook includes an inner hook leg attached to an outer hook leg by a bridge. The bridge connects to the neck. A side profile of the inner hook leg, the bridge and the outer hook leg form substantially a u-shape adapted to secure the hook of the pneumatic hose fastener to another surface.

A fuel nozzle retainer kit includes a first retainer that is attachable to a fuel tank that has a skirt thereon. The first retainer extends over a fill port on the fuel tank. Additionally, the first retainer has elastomeric properties to engage and thus retain a fuel nozzle in the fuel port. A second retainer is attachable to a fuel tank that does not have a skirt thereon. The second retainer has a first portion that is mountable around a fill port of the fuel tank that does not have a skirt. The second retainer has a second portion which is pivotally coupled to the first portion. Additionally, the second portion is positionable to engage a fuel nozzle inserted into the fill port to retain the fuel nozzle in the fill port.
