11635155 · 2023-04-25 · ·

An adapter includes a housing and a shaft receiving port defined in the housing. The shaft receiving port defines grooves extending at least partway along the shaft receiving port. The grooves include a set of first grooves and a set of second grooves, where at least one of the first grooves is different from at least one of the second grooves. Another adapter for coupling a device to a track includes a housing defining a threaded port and a shaft receiving port; a track retention arrangement including a foot and a threaded post extending from the foot, where the threaded post is rotatably engaged with the threaded port of the housing to raise or lower the foot relative to the housing; and a locking mechanism including an actuator and a plunger coupled to the actuator and configured to extend from the housing into the track channel of the track.

FEATURES FOR CABLE MANAGERS AND OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT STRUCTURES

A cable manager includes a backbone assembly and at least one side wall extending from the backbone assembly. The at least one side wall optionally includes one or more cable finger units. The backbone assembly includes a spine member having an extruded construction. The spine member includes one or more channels extending substantially an entire length thereof to facilitate easy attachment, removal and/or repositioning of a structure relative to the spine member. The cable manager optionally includes an accessory rod, a half-spool assembly, a cable finger accessory, a strap/buckle accessory, and/or a door assembly having an interference-free hinge set.

SYSTEM FOR SPACING AND FASTENING TUBULAR STRUCTURES

A tube spacing and fastening system for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of tubular structures, a wear sleeve, a spacer element, and a fastening element. The plurality of tubular structures provides a fluid flow to a component of the gas turbine engine. The wear sleeve is located around each of the plurality of tubular structures. The spacer element receives the plurality of tubular structures. The fastening element extends around the wear sleeves and is configured to secure the plurality of tubular structures to the spacer element. An interference between the fastening element and wear sleeves is configured to allow the fastening element to slide with respect to the wear sleeves and to provide a damping effect under gas turbine engine vibrations and operating conditions. A method of damping vibrations in the plurality of tubular structures includes allowing the fastening element to slide with respect to the wear sleeve.

20230105251 · 2023-04-06 ·

A structure and equipment system installed in an aircraft includes vertical supports, a rail device, a connector, guiding elements, pivot joints, and locking devices. The rail device is arranged on the aircraft to guide the guiding elements along a rail device extension axis. Via the connector, the vertical supports are arranged in parallel and connect to form a grid arrangement with the guiding elements arranged thereon. The pivot joints are attached to upper ends of the vertical supports to pivot them. The locking devices each have a first and a second locking element. The grid arrangement is inserted into the aircraft as far as an installation position via the guiding elements on the rail device with vertical supports pivoted upwards from the vertical, by pivoting down into a vertical orientation, the first locking elements can interlock with correspondingly arranged second locking elements to form a load-bearing support structure.

A Beam Clamp, and a Mounting Assembly

A beam clamp for attachment to a flange of a structural building member and from which to support or brace a service component. The beam clamp has a clamp body, and a set screw. The clamp body includes a first jaw section with at least one mounting through hole, a second jaw section, a joining section that interconnects the first and second jaw sections, and a transverse opening that is to receive the flange. A contact surface on the second jaw section is formed with surface irregularities providing a roughness that enhances engagement of the contact surface with the flange. In use of the beam clamp, the contact surface is in contact with the flange of the structural member, the set screw is installed in the mounting through hole, and the flange is secured within transverse opening between the tip of the set screw and the contact surface.
