ACCESSORY POSITIONING SYSTEM FOR CABLE MANAGER

An accessory positioning system for a cable manager includes a spine member, a first lateral member, an accessory rod, and a first cable management accessory. The spine member has an extruded construction and defines an x-axis of a three-dimensional cable management space. The first lateral member has an extruded construction and defines a y-axis of the three-dimensional cable management space. The spine member is slidably paired with the first lateral member to facilitate infinite adjustability of a location of the spine member along the x-axis of the three-dimensional cable management space within a range defined by a length of the first lateral member. The accessory rod has an extruded construction and define a z-axis of the three-dimensional cable management space. The accessory rod protrudes from the spine member and is slidably paired therewith to facilitate infinite adjustability of a location of the accessory rod along the y-axis of the three-dimensional cable management space within a range defined by a length of the spine member. The first cable management accessory is slidably paired with the accessory rod to facilitate infinite adjustability of a location of the first cable management accessory along the z-axis of the three-dimensional cable management space within a range defined by a length of the accessory rod.

MODULAR SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
20220025618 · 2022-01-27 ·

The presently disclosed technology generally provides a modular support system for plumbing connections. In one example, the system includes a frame, a connector that fits entirely in front of a support stud, and an optional housing. The frame includes symmetrical sides, each including a rail assembly. The connector includes first opposed sidewalls, each having a pair of boxways that receive the rails on any side of a frame unit to form a sliding joint between the frame and connector. Second opposed sidewalls include flexible tabs that engage frame corner flanges to prevent rearward disengagement of the connector from the frame. The housing includes structure for connection with the frame. The housing can be rotated for connection with the frame to receive vertical or horizontal plumbing lines. Connectors can connect the frame units in vertical or horizontal relation, or on either side of a building stud, or to brackets.

Hanger for mounting cables

A cable hanger includes a generally flat base and first and second opposed arms extending in a first direction from the base. Hooks are positioned on free ends of the arms. The arms form a gap configured to receive and grasp a cable. The base includes a cross-member that divides two arcuate openings, the cross-member attached at each end with a frangible section.

HANGER FOR MOUNTING MULTIPLE CABLES
20220010893 · 2022-01-13 ·

A cable hanger for mounting cables to a mounting structure includes: a base panel; a pair of arms attached to opposite ends of the base panel; and a pair of locking projections, each locking projection being attached adjacent a free end of a respective arm. Each arm is configured to define a respective internal cavity configured to grasp cable. The arms and the base panel combine to define an external cavity for grasping cable. The cable hanger can be deflected from a relaxed state to a deflected state by forcing the locking projections toward each other. In the deflected state the cable hanger may be mounted to a mounting structure, with the arms inserted through a hole in the mounting structure and exerting outward pressure on edges of the hole, and the locking projections maintaining the cable hanger in a mounted position on the mounting structure.

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.

A cable hanger includes: a generally flat base; and first and second opposed arms extending in a first direction from the base; wherein hooks are positioned on free ends of the arms; wherein each of the free ends of the arms has an arcuate cross-section; wherein the arms form a gap configured to receive and grasp a cable; and wherein the cable hanger is a unitary member formed of a polymeric material.

Apparatus and system for securing hardware to a structure utilizing torsional joints
11746808 · 2023-09-05 ·

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for mounting hardware to a surface of a structure. The apparatus includes a main body with an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer edge. The apparatus also includes a distal pad with an upper and a lower planar surface, the distal pad being attached to the main body by at least two torsional joints. The apparatus also includes an attachment device with a contact surface, the attachment device is mounted to at least one of the planar surfaces. The contact surface is for engagement with the surface of the structure. The at least two torsional joints and distal pad may be manually rotated to achieve maximal surficial contact between the surface of the structure and the contact surface of the attachment device.

Tube Management Assembly

The tube management assembly employs a track, one or more mounting clips that are slidably mounted in the track and clamps that are snap-fitted into the mounting clips. In one embodiment, the mounting clip has a pair of resilient walls with inwardly directed lips for engaging in arcuate grooves in the sides of the clamp. In another embodiment, the mounting clip has a base slidably mounted in the track and a mounting block extending from the base and including a recess for receiving a tube transversely of the track.

Structural fastener

A U-shaped band to attach or snap a conduit or pipe to a slotted structural member. The U-shaped band includes a bottom portion, a first side having a first arm connected to the bottom portion; a second side having a second arm connected to the bottom portion thereby forming a U-shaped structure with the first and second sides. The at least one arm snaps into a slot of the slotted structural member when in an engaged position. The slotted structural member may be a strut or a receiver. The receiver has arms to engage and snap into curled ends or lips on sides of the strut and thus may adapt the band to the strut. Alternatively, the band may snap into suitably sized slots on the slotted structural member.
