HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE
A household appliance has a main body, a chamber with an opening, and a drawer door closing the chamber. A support mechanism is connected between the drawer door and the main body. A cable extends between the main body and the drawer door and a guidance mechanism guides the cable and moves with the drawer door. The guidance mechanism includes a bendable member that moves along a moving path including a bent portion. A limiting mechanism limits the bendable member to move within the moving path and a preset error range. A structure of a component surrounding the guidance mechanism in the household appliance is improved, so that a moving track of the guidance mechanism can be guided and limited when the guidance mechanism moves as the drawer door moves. This helps the guidance mechanism and the cable move through an expected track.
INTEGRAL BRACKET MANIFOLD FOR LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLIES
A bracket manifold for a landing gear assembly is disclosed. In various embodiments, the bracket manifold includes a mounting plate having a central portion and a first wing portion extending from the central portion; and a first manifold section integrated monolithically into at least one of the central portion and the first wing portion of the mounting plate.
FLUID TRANSFER TUBE WITH TOOL RECEPTACLE
A fluid transfer tube is provided that includes a tubular body. This tubular body includes a first tube end, a second tube end and a bore that extends axially along a centerline through the tubular body from the first tube end to the second tube end. The bore includes a tool receptacle portion at the first tube end. The tool receptacle portion is at least partially formed by an interior surface of the tubular body. The interior surface has a polygonal cross-sectional geometry when viewed in a plane perpendicular to the centerline.

MONOLITHIC FLUID TRANSFER TUBE
An assembly is provided for a piece of rotational equipment. This assembly includes a first structure, a second structure and a fluid transfer assembly. The first structure is configured with an aperture. The second structure is configured as or otherwise includes a port. The fluid transfer assembly includes a fluid conduit and a slider element. The fluid conduit is configured as a monolithic tubular body that includes a first conduit end, a second conduit end, a first coupling and a second coupling. The fluid conduit extends axially along a centerline from the first conduit end, through the aperture and into the port to the second conduit end. The first coupling is mated with the first structure through the slider element. The second coupling is mated with the second structure through a cone seal interface.

Pipe Support System Having Adjustable Stand, and Method of Use
A pipe support system includes a pipe base, a threaded bolt having a head, a deck supported above the pipe base, and a cap removably resting on the upper surface of the deck. Methods for installing the pipe support system include determining a height of a joint of pipe or pipe component above a ground surface; selecting a length of the pipe base in accordance with the height of the joint of pipe or pipe component above the ground surface; slidably placing the bolt into an inner diameter of the pipe base until a flanged housing is landed onto a top of the pipe base; rotating the head of the bolt relative to the pipe base in order to provide micro-adjustments to the height of the deck relative to the pipe base; and placing the joint of pipe or other pipe component onto the cap, thereby supporting the pipe component above the surface.
