BUFFER FOR HOLDING A PIPE
A buffer for holding a pipe adapted to transport a fluid includes a base. The buffer further includes a plurality of fingers extending outwardly from a first side of the base, wherein a first finger of the plurality of fingers and a second finger of the plurality of fingers define a cavity for receiving the pipe, the first finger extends outwardly from a first end of the base, and the second finger extends outwardly from a central portion of the base, and a third finger of plurality of fingers extends outwardly from a second end of the base opposite the first end, wherein the second finger is between the first finger and the third finger. The buffer further includes at least one roller on a second side of the base opposite the first side.
Structural fastener
A U-shaped clamp to attach or snap a conduit or pipe to a slotted structural member. The U-shaped clamp includes a bottom portion, a first side having a first wing connected to the bottom portion; a second side having a second wing connected to the bottom portion thereby forming a U-shaped structure with the first and second sides. The at least one wing snaps into a strut ledge or a rolled edge of the structural member when in an engaged position. The structural member may be a strut or a receiver. The wings engage and snap into curled ends or lips on sides of the strut and thus may adapt the pipe clamp to the strut. Alternatively, the U-shaped clamp may snap into suitably sized strut ledges or a rolled edges on the structural member.

Hook
S-shaped hooks are disclosed that include an upper portion, a central inclined portion, and a lower portion. The central inclined portion is disposed between and joins the upper portion and the lower portion. The upper portion may include a generally horizontal section having a generally horizontal lower support surface. The generally horizontal lower support surface may include a recessed arcuate surface that may be generally centered on the generally horizontal lower support surface. The upper portion may include a retaining section extending downwardly from a distal end of the generally horizontal section. The lower portion may define a hook section. The lower portion may include one or any number of hooks for holding various items. The generally horizontal lower support surface may rest on a flat support surface, such as a section of angle iron, square tubing or flat bar. The recessed arcuate surface may rest on a circular surface.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A TUBE AND CORD ORGANIZATION SYSTEM
A tube and cord organization system includes a clamp that is configured to clamp onto a support structure. In some cases, the clamp defines a receiving hole. In some cases, the system further includes an adapter bracket. In some such cases, the adapter bracket is configured to attach to the clamp via a protrusion of the adapter bracket and the receiving hole. In some cases, a face of the adapter bracket forms a hole. In some cases, the adapter bracket is configured to be rotatable relative to the clamp about a first axis. In some cases, the system further includes a clip that is configured to secure one or more tubes or cords. In some such cases, the clip is configured to be rotatable relative to the adapter bracket about a second axis. Other implementations are described.

Cable protector assemblies and related methods and systems
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to cable protector assemblies, and related methods and systems. In one or more implementations, a cable protector assembly includes an adjustable latch. In one embodiment, which can be combined with other embodiments, a cable protector assembly includes a protective frame at least partially defining a channel. The channel is configured to at least partially receive a cable. The protective frame includes a frame flange having a section of a frame sheet formed into a first arcuate shape to define a frame opening. The cable protector assembly includes a collar segment pivotably coupled to the protective frame. The collar segment is pivotable between a disengaged position, an engaged position, and a biased position. The collar segment includes a collar flange having a section of a collar sheet formed into a second arcuate shape to define a collar opening.
CABLE ORGANIZER MAGNETICALLY ATTACHABLE TO A FERROMAGNETIC SURFACE AND CONFIGURED FOR SUPPORTING CABLES
A magnetic conduit organizer includes a magnetic base configured to magnetically attach to a ferromagnetic surface on a first side of the magnetic base. A clip extends from a second side of the magnetic base, opposite the first side. The clip includes a post that extend from the second side of the base, a plurality of arms that extend from the post, and a plurality of slots. A first slot of the plurality of slots is defined between two adjacent arms of the plurality of arms. The first slot is configured to receive the portion of a conduit therein.
