The pocket has an open access end through which the release member can be slidingly inserted and removed. The base member includes a stop member moveable, by an actuator, between a lock position in which the stop member interengages with the release member to prevent removal of the release member from the pocket of the base member, and a release position in which the release member can be separated from the base member. A securing apparatus for releasably securing a mobile equipment to a support surface, and including the coupling device.

A fixing system for a panel, particularly for a noise absorption panel, including an omega stringer having a substantially omega-shaped cross-section, wherein the omega stringer includes a central portion and two lateral foot portions; a flat bar longitudinally directly connected to the central portion of the omega stringer; a sealing gasket arranged longitudinally onto the lateral foot portions of the omega stringer or onto the flat bar; wherein height of omega stringer is selected so that, when a panel is clamped between the omega stringer and the flat bar, the sealing gasket is compressed between panel and fixing system.

A mounting system includes a mounting bracket having an interior surface with a defined shape; an elongate track having a first side, the first side having an exterior surface that corresponds with the defined shape of the mounting bracket. The interior surface of the mounting bracket is adapted to pivotally and/or slidably receive the first side of the track. The mounting bracket further includes a locking means to secure the mounting bracket to the track.

Disclosed are clamp devices for attaching harnesses to a panel. In aspects, a disclosed clamp device includes a body portion having a fixing portion on a fixing side of the clamp device, arranged to be fixed to a panel, the body portion further has three support sides having a top side opposite to the fixing side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side; and a set of three apertured heads having a first apertured head on the first lateral side, a second apertured head on the second lateral side, and a third apertured head on the top side, each of the apertured heads including a cap and two pillars, the cap and two pillars arranged to create a space between the body portion, the cap, and the pillars to receive a respective cable tie arranged to attach one respective harness to the panel.

A boat hull has one or more track systems integral with a main body of the boat hull, each track system having a longitudinally extending channel comprising: a longitudinally extending channel body; and a longitudinally extending channel opening in communication with the channel body, wherein the channel body is wider in cross-section than the channel opening, the channel body is adapted to receive a fastener which has a portion that is wider in cross section than the channel opening, thereby preventing the fastener from being withdrawn from the channel body through the channel opening, and wherein the fastener can be selectively secured to the track system at a selected longitudinal position. The track systems can be used for mounting boat hull structural parts and other parts and accessories.

A wiring member with an exterior member includes a wiring member, and an exterior member. The wiring member includes a plurality of wire-like transmission members and a base material. The plurality of wire-like transmission members are fixed to the base material in an arrayed state. The exterior member includes an attachment part. The attachment part is attached to a region of the wiring member having a reduced width. In a state in which the attachment part is attached to the wiring member, a state having the reduced width of the wiring member is maintained. In the region where the attachment part is attached, at least one of the attachment part and the base material entirely covers the plurality of wire-like transmission members along a longitudinal direction.

A coupling device comprising a base member connectable to a first item and a release member connectable to a second item, the base and release members being releasably connectable together. The base member has a front face including a pocket. The release member comprises a body which is configured to be received in the pocket in a coupled position. The pocket has an open access end through which the release member can be slidingly inserted and removed. The base member includes a stop member moveable, by an actuator, between a lock position in which the stop member interengages with the release member to prevent removal of the release member from the pocket of the base member, and a release position in which the release member can be separated from the base member. A securing apparatus for releasably securing a mobile equipment to a support surface, and including the coupling device.

A restraining device, such as a bolt, pin, or latch, removably secures a connector sleeve to a U-bolt, such as a tow-rope-eyelet on the bow of a boat hull. The connector sleeve is machined with an internal cavity having surfaces and dimension that correspond to outer surfaces of the U-bolt. The sleeve contains holes through which the restraining device passes after the sleeve has been slid over the U-bolt such that the restraining device, while installed, prevents the sleeve from sliding back off of the U-bolt. The sleeve also includes accessory mount holes to receive restraining devices that attach an accessory, such as a ladder, to the sleeve and thus to the boat via the sleeve that has been secured thereto. The sleeve may provide for set screws to snug the sleeve to the U-bolt if clearance exists between surfaces of the cavity and the U-bolt.

A cable hanger includes: a base panel having opposed ends; a pair of arms, each of the arms attached to a respective end of the base panel and having a free end; a pair of locking projections, each of the locking projections attached to a respective free end of the arms; and a pair of gripping members, each gripping member attached to a respective arm, each gripping member having opposed ends, wherein one of the ends of each gripping member is fixed to the arms and the other of the ends of each gripping member is fixed to the arm or to the base panel. The arms and locking projections are configured to spread apart to enable insertion of a cable between the arms, wherein the gripping projections engage and grip the cable, and wherein the locking projections are configured to be inserted into the aperture of the supporting structure.

A framing system includes a first connection assembly that engages with a substrate. The first connection assembly includes a first connector and a track. At least one spring flange defined by the first connector engages with a fastener positioned along the substrate to maintain the first connection assembly in a fixed position relative to the substrate and to interconnect the substrate with the track. The framing system further includes a second connection assembly defining a second connector engaged to a stud. The second connection assembly engages with the first connection assembly to interconnect the stud with the track.
