System and Method for Securing Power and Communications Cables and Associated Hardware Within Crown Molding
20230097953 · 2023-03-30 ·

A system for crown molding that enables safely incorporating electrical and communications cabling within crown molding by creating one or more protected paths which inherently prevent overly sharp bends in crown molding corners and by mitigating damage from penetrating punctures through a decorated face designed to fracture when improperly penetrated by a screw or nail, and enables the secure installation of hardware either concealed within the molding or securely and favorably positioned through the decorative face to view or sense a room, and enables additional cable capacity that is concealed within a light reflector to increase lighting efficacy as well as power and data delivery capacity.

CONNECTING SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING COMPONENTS IN AN AIRCRAFT
20230100434 · 2023-03-30 ·

A connecting system for connecting components in a vehicle includes a first elongate element with a first connecting face at a first end, and a second elongate element with a second connecting face at a second end. The first and second elements each comprise holding devices distributed along an annular connecting line. The connecting faces are congruent. The connecting faces and holding devices are configured to be brought into a flush superficial contact when the orientations of the elongate elements coincide, and the mutually opposing holding devices then connect with one another. One of the elements has a length adjustment component configured to change a position of the respective connecting face in a longitudinal direction of the respective element. The connecting faces comprise at least one pair of connectable interfaces which correlate with one another in pairs for transfer of a fluid, electrical or optical signals or electrical current.

HYDRAULIC PIPING CLAMP DEVICE FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE

Provided is a hydraulic piping clamp device for a construction machine, with which it is possible to easily assemble a plurality of clamp members used to fasten hydraulic piping. A fastener (5) includes a bracket (6) and a plurality of clamp members (7). Hydraulic hoses (4) are respectively held by the plurality of clamp members (7). Each clamp member (7) has a holding portion (71) for holding a hydraulic hose and an insertion hole into which a guide bar (65) can be inserted. The clamp members (7) are mounted on the bracket (6) by inserting the guide bar (65) into the insertion hole in the clamp members (7). When two adjacent clamp members move away from one another, a first engaging portion (73) of one clamp member engages with a second engaging portion (75) of the other clamp member.

JOINT-USE BRACKET FOR INSTALLING COMMUNICATION LINES ON UTILITY POLE
20230085769 · 2023-03-23 · ·

A joint-use bracket (JUB) for use for installing multiple cables associated with communication lines onto a joint-use section of a utility pole is disclosed. The JUB comprises: a curved plate having a generally rectangular shape elongated in a longitudinal direction and curved along a lateral direction, the curved plate formed to have multiple attachment holes therethrough and have multiple slots laterally formed on the front surface; multiple platforms, each platform contiguously formed on the front surface of the curved plate and having multiple receiving holes; multiple blocks configured to engage with the platforms, respectively, each block having multiple joining holes; and multiple joining fasteners configured to be inserted through the joining holes and the receiving holes, to fasten the block to the platform to clamp the cable that is placed laterally between the block and the platform, thereby to hold the cable securely.

Cable racks for reduced stress and increased load capacity
11611203 · 2023-03-21 ·

Methods and devices for reducing stress and for increasing the load-bearing capacity of cable racks supporting electrical power and communication conduits and cables having increased versatility for conduit and cable sizes and quantities. Underground devices including rack arms for these applications are desirably made from plastic or composite materials. Rack arms desirably include openings for tying down the conduits and cables atop the arms. While non-metallic materials are designed to withstand environmental stresses, they typically have strength and rigidity properties less than the metallic structures previously used in such applications. Non-metallic rack arms with such openings may be reinforced locally with a stress attenuator or with ribs to increase their load-bearing and buckling capacity and to reduce their stress, strain and deflection under load. A stress attenuator may be made by increasing the in-molded thickness of the web in areas adjacent to or surrounding the tie-down openings.
