A retainer is disclosed that is configured to receive at least one elongated member in a vehicle. The retainer includes a body and first and second receptacles that are supported by the body. The first receptacle defines a first channel that is configured to receive a first elongated member (e.g., a cable, a wire, a rod, etc.) and includes a first finger that extends towards the second receptacle. The second receptacle defines a second channel that is configured to receive a second elongated member (e.g., a cable, a wire, a rod, etc.) and includes a second finger that extends towards the first receptacle. In certain embodiments, the first finger and the second finger may be formed as discrete structures so as not to interfere with flexure of the first receptacle and the second receptacle during insertion and removal of the first elongated member and the second elongated member.

A fence panel coupler 10 comprises a first clamping member 12, a second clamping member 14 and clamping means to connect the first clamping member 12 to the second clamping member 14. The clamping means is arranged to enable the first clamping member 12 to be moved towardsor away from the second clamping member 14 in order for the fence panel coupler 10 to be releasably clamped to a fencing structure. In particular, the fence panel coupler 10 is arranged to secure a fence post (or pole) 20 of a first fence panel to an adjacent second post (or pole) 22 of a second fence panel. The present invention provides a fence panel coupler which can be operated by a single person located on one side of the perimeter fencing. The fence panel coupler 10 comprises a first clamping member 12 which is permanently attached to the second clamping member 14 such that the two clamping members 12, 14 cannot be released from each other. The fence panel coupler is therefore a self contained element with no detachable components. The fence panel coupler 10 is preassembled and the first clamping member 12 is inseparable from the second clamping member 14.

A fixing element for lines, such as a brake line, on a bicycle component, in particular a steer tube, has a base body. The base body at least partly surrounds the bicycle component. A receiving element is formed, in particular integrally with the base body. The receiving element serves for receiving at least one line, in particular the brake line. For retention of the fixing element, in particular on a steer tube, retaining elements are provided which are preferably designed as cable ties.

A bracket for pipe profiles includes a body with a center hole for enclosing a pipe profile in the center hole where the body includes at least two non-elastic bracket parts with internal surfaces towards the center hole and external surfaces. The bracket parts' internal surfaces include at least two radial spokes with spoke end surfaces for contact against the pipe profile. A ring shaped elastic gasket may be placed around each spoke end surface, which together with the spoke end surfaces has contact against the pipe profile. The invention also includes use of the bracket for mounting pipe profiles. The bracket has a shape, which ensures hygienic tight connection between bracket and pipe profile and the pipe profile is mechanically supported. The bracket can therefore be used in environments with high hygiene requirements, for example in the foodstuff industry.

Embodiments described herein relate to a studio bridge clamp comprised of a first element and a second element. Responsive to sliding the first element and the second element along a linear axis of the first element and the second element, the studio bridge clamp creates a clamping force at two locations.

A mounting system includes a double-beam support structure comprising two parallel, horizontal bars spaced apart vertically, and a bracket designed to hang from the double support bars while resisting rotation about the support bars. The bracket is slidably positionable along the support bars and may further include a releasable clamp jaw for clamping one of the support bars to selectively fix the position of the bracket along the support bars. The bracket may support a mounting assembly for an electronic visual display, an extension boom assembly, or another item.

A tubular goods connection for releasably coupling tubular members includes: a coupling having a first internal wedge dove-tail thread formed within a longitudinal bore of the coupling and a second internal dove-tail wedge thread; a first tubular member having a first mating external vanishing dove-tail wedge thread extending from a first proximal pin end face; and a second tubular member substantially identical to the first tubular member; wherein when the first and second tubular members are made-up into the coupling using a predetermined recommended optimum torque, a distance D between the first pin end face and the second pin end face is in the range of 0 to 10 millimeters and when the distance D is equal to 0 there is contact between the first pin end face and a second pin end face of the second tubular good but there is no axial interference.

The present invention includes a multiuse clip assembly which can be employed to secure objects or panels to one another. It incorporates both the male and female features into each clip for greater versatility and durability over conventional clip systems. The unique universal and expandable mating system does not limit the orientation, position, or number of objects or panels that may be secured to one another.

A profile bar (10, 10a) formed as an extruded part and consisting of a light metal alloy, in particular an aluminum alloy, with a rectangular in particular square, cross-section, wherein a longitudinal groove pair (20, 20a), comprising two longitudinal grooves arranged parallel to one another and at a distance from one another, is provided in each case on at least one lateral surface, preferably on all four lateral surfaces, and with at least two, preferably four, longitudinal channels which extend parallel to the longitudinal grooves and which form in each case an opening (40) for fastening in each case a pen (34) on each of the two end faces (36) of the profile bar (10, 10a), wherein each longitudinal channel is arranged on an imaginary intersection line of planes extending at a right angle to one another and arranged perpendicularly to in each case a lateral surface, wherein at least one of the planes is a longitudinal center plane of a longitudinal groove of a longitudinal groove pair (20).

At least one twelve-different-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella each comprises: at least one pivotable pole receiver each having: a pole-centering sleeve and receiver gears; a rotatable adjustor having: adjustor gears for engaging to the receiver gears and bottom gears; a trailer-hitch-adapting tube for engaging to a trailer hitch; at least one curved-surface-adapting plate each releasably attached to the trailer-hitch-adapting tube; a spiral-shovel spike having: a spiral blade and digging shovels for securely burying the spiral blade in soil and sand; a base attached to the trailer-hitch-adapting tube or the spiral-shovel spike, and having: base gears for engaging to the bottom gears, two wrenching-and-strapping handles for wrenching and strapping the base, and a surface-conforming-and-protecting adaptor attached thereto; at least one base-securing strap and ratchet for attaching the base to bumper, bench, table, hand rail, post, column, tree, tail gate, e.i.; and at least one adjustable umbrella each having: a canopy and a pole for being inserted through the pole-centering sleeve and into one of the at least one pivotable pole receiver.
