ADAPTER FOR MOUNTING CABLES AND CABLE HANGERS
An adapter for mounting cable hangers to a mounting structure includes: a plurality of mounting panels, each mounting panel including a mounting hole, the mounting panels attached to each other at edges thereof, each mounting panel being, disposed at an angle relative to its adjacent mounting panels; a base attached to the edge of endmost ones of the mounting panels; wherein the mounting panels and the base define an interior of the adapter; the adapter further comprising at least one pair of fingers extending into the interior of the adapter, each pair of fingers being configured to cooperate to grasp a cable.
High strength blind installation hose and cable clamp retainer
A retainer has a first ratcheting receiver that engages a strap in a one way ratcheting relationship that allows a free end of the strap to be passed through the first ratcheting receiver and a shank to be thereby pulled toward the first ratcheting receiver but not drawn away therefrom. The first ratcheting receiver backs an extension post protruding from the retainer such that the shank is sized to pass through an opening in a wall but is prevented from being withdrawn from the opening when the retainer is urged against the wall such that the extension post occupies at least a portion of the opening. A second ratcheting receiver is affixed to the retainer and receives the free end of the strap for securing a load to the retainer after the shank has been urged toward the first ratcheting receiver to secure the retainer to the wall.
TUBING BUNDLE SUPPORTS AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Tubing bundle supports comprise body parts clamped around split rotatable sleeves. In one embodiment, spring mounted peripheral shoes and rotatable tubing bundle support sleeves allow metal tubes and tubing bundles to be routed inside a conduit in spaced apart positions and resistant to vibration. In another embodiment, split pillow block sections are clamped around a split rotatable sleeve. In an embodiment, the split pillow block support is held to a strut channel by a strut channel nut.
MULTI-LINE CONDUIT ASSEMBLIES
In various embodiments, multi-conduit assemblies 100 comprise pluralities of individual or distinct conduits 101 joined by various forms of webs 110, sleeves 176, wraps 222, 212, and/or retainers 181. Assemblies 100 are useful for fluid, electrical, communications, and other applications.
Hose retainer
A hose retainer configured to support individual hoses from a plurality of hoses comprises a first apparatus and a second apparatus. The first apparatus may comprise a first conduit for receiving a first hose from the plurality of hoses, and the second apparatus may comprise a second conduit for receiving a second hose from the plurality of hoses. The first conduit may extend in a first plane and the second conduit may extend in a second plane. The first apparatus may further comprise a first plurality of protrusions radially spaced about a first central axis and extend from a first surface. The second apparatus may further comprise a second plurality of protrusion radially spaced apart about a second central axis and extend from a second surface. The first plurality of protrusions and the second plurality of protrusions may interlock.
Anchor sealing hygienic bracket
An offset hygienic anchor sealing bracket for installation of block style tube and pipe hangers to a paneled strata in which there is no access to the reverse side, there being a need to secure the anchor bracket to an anchor bolt or toggle bolt and simultaneously shield the exposed toggle bolt structure from the environment of the clean room, sterile room, or sanitary room in order to protect the irregular surface of the toggle bolt from caustic cleaning solutions and to prevent the build up of dirt and bacteria, the anchor bracket having bored pedestals in communication with the cavity which encapsulates the exposed portion of the toggle bolt and secures the anchor bracket thereto, the anchor bracket having a plurality of female threaded receptacles for receipt of fasteners utilized in assembling block style tube and pipe hangers, thus securing the block style tube and pipe hanger to the panel at a desired slope and center line.
Tandem trunnion clamp
A cable support device includes a body having a first bracket and a cap having a first hinge. The cable support device further includes a transition piece disposed between the body and the cap. The transition piece includes an integrally formed body portion and oppositely-facing cap portion. The body portion has an inner surface defining a body portion groove extending longitudinally from a first end to an opposite end of the body portion. The body portion further includes a second bracket. The cap portion has an inner surface defining a cap portion groove extending longitudinally from a first end to an opposite end of the cap portion. The cap portion further includes a second hinge.
Pipelaying
A method of clamping elongate elements in a parallel piggybacked arrangement during subsea laying of the elements is disclosed. The method includes opposed reciprocating jaws which force together clamp segments around the elongate elements to assemble a piggybacking clamp. The piggybacking clamp applies clamping forces to the elongate elements.
DEVICE FOR FASTENING AND/OR GUIDING STRAND-SHAPED ELEMENTS
The invention relates to a device for fastening and/or guiding strand-shaped elements, in particular cables or cable bundles in the case of wind turbines, comprising retaining bodies (5), which can be combined with a supporting structure (3) in the form of a star body in order to form a modular fastening system, having a stand passage (31) for at least one strand element, and are formed from two partial bodies (25 and 27), each of which comprises a part (29) of the strand feed-through (31). Said device is characterized in that, between surfaces (13) of consecutive spokes (9) of the star body of the supporting structure (3), said surfaces extending parallel to each other, installation spaces (21) for retaining bodies (5) are formed, which installation spaces are open toward the outside of the star body and have sides that are parallel to each other, and that a retaining device (59, 61, 63) is provided between each partial body (25, 27) and the spoke (9) adjacent thereto, by means of which retaining devices the partial bodies (25, 27) can be detachably fastened in the installation position on the supporting structure (3) and in contact with each other in such a way that the retaining body (5) is completed.
MEDICAL BEDSIDE SAFETY MODULAR APPARATUS AND METHOD
A medical line organizer that can include multiple attachable guides for separating and visually distinguishing between attached medical line guides is provided. The guides can be attached to each other or to one or more couplers for attachment to a structure. Various identification techniques can be used to distinguish the guides from each other for identification of individual lines. Additional guides or markers with similar indicia can be placed on the lines to aid in identifying the path of a line within a particular guide.
