09746052 · 2017-08-29 ·

A retaining device configured for retaining at least one medical device adjacent to a supporting surface. The retaining device includes a plate shaped holding portion defining a peripheral edge, a slot extending from the peripheral edge defining a loading channel, and communicating with an internal holding area. The internal holding area is dimensioned to accept the largest medical device the retaining device is configured to be used with. An attachment mechanism is connected to the holding portion to secure the retaining device to a supporting surface. A section of medical device may be inserted into and along the loading channel to enter the holding area and be retained within.

Pivoting hose support system for agricultural implements

A pivoting hose support system for use with an agricultural implement is provided that includes a guide through which a hose(s) extends and that is arranged to pivot at an articulation point defined at connections between components that are movable through relatively large ranges of motion with respect to each other. The guide and the movable component may pivot about a common rotational axis and may be arranged upon different portions of a common pivot pin to which the guide may be axially fixed.

Double offset pipe hanger and restrainer
09726304 · 2017-08-08 · ·

A double offset hanger and restrainer device for securely supporting a pipe or the like against undesirable sway and seismic disturbances is provided. The hanger and restrainer device includes a proximal portion mountable to a beam or the like and a specially contoured distal portion with an opening that can receive the pipe in a “snap-on” manner. The snap-on or press-fit feature also provides the advantage of retrofit installation, thereby permitting one or more of the devices to be added on without disassembly of an existing installation.

Power transmission system for long travel distances having a guide channel
09819162 · 2017-11-14 · ·

A power conducting system has at least one power conducting unit for guiding lines, cables, hoses or the like between a stationary connection area and a moving connection area, with a curved region being formed between a lower run and an upper run, the power conducting unit having segments that are connected together in an articulated manner. Some segments have laterally arranged rollers with different track widths, wherein the rollers roll on guides. The guides have cutouts so that rollers can pass through the guides at each particular deflection point of the power conducting unit. The guides form lateral boundaries of a guide channel for the lower run.
