Circular perforated drywall tape
The circular perforated drywall tape comprises a joint tape, a pipe, and a drywall panel. The drywall panel further comprises a pipe aperture. The pipe passes through the pipe aperture. The circular perforated drywall tape seals the joint between the drywall panel and the pipe. The circular perforated drywall tape is perforated such that a removable knock out sizes the joint tape to match the size of the joint between the drywall panel and the pipe.
HYDRANT MOUNTING BRACKET
A mounting bracket for a hydrant that is fully concealed by the hydrant head. The mounting bracket is fastened to the structure and includes tabs which engage the hydrant head to tightly secure the hydrant to the structure. The hydrant head includes a structure engaging periphery such that the mounting screws are fully concealed and protected from the environment.
Sealed Pass-Through Grommet System and Method
A grommet assembly is provided. The grommet assembly includes a grommet having a platform, a panel portion, and a ring portion. The ring portion defines a passageway extending through the grommet and includes a plurality of grommet clamping features arranged around the ring portion. The grommet assembly further includes a primary seal extending around a periphery of the grommet, and a lock ring having a central hub with a plurality of ring clamping features arranged around the central hub. Selective displacement of the lock ring relative to the grommet is configured to engage each one of the plurality of ring clamping features with a corresponding one of the plurality of grommet clamping features to fasten the lock ring to the grommet and to form a secondary seal between the grommet and the lock ring.
Two-part snap-together feedthroughs
A feedthrough for feeding signals through a panel having opposite sides includes first and second parts. The first part can include a first body configured to be disposed in a first portion of an opening in a panel, a first lumen disposed within the first body, and a first engagement area comprising a first contact area. The second part can include a second body configured to be disposed in a second portion of the opening in the panel, a second lumen disposed within the second body, and a second engagement area configured to engage the first contact area, wherein engaging the first contact area with the second engagement area causes deformation of the first part, the second part, or both to hold the first part and the second part within the opening such that the first lumen and the second lumen are disposed generally concentrically with each other. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.
FUEL TRANSFER QUICK COUPLING
Quick coupling device 1 for transferring liquid for an aircraft, comprising a female member 7 configured to be connected to a first reservoir, said female member 7 forming a passage and comprising a cylindrical portion 13 and a radial portion 14, a male member 2 configured to be connected to a second reservoir, said male member 2 forming a passage, slidably mounted in a liquid-tight manner in the female member 7 and comprising a cylindrical portion 3 and a radial portion 4, and a member 40 for locking the male member 2 in the female member 7, the locking member 40 being disposed between the radial portion 14 of the female member 7 and the radial portion 4 of the male member 2, the locking member 40 surrounding the male member 2 and leaving a limited sliding extent for the male member 2 with respect to the female member 7, engaging with the female member 7 in the locked position and releasing the female member 7 in the unlocked position, the locking member 40 comprising an axial blocking lock that can be actuated by an axial then rotating movement and that can be released by an axial then rotating movement, and a rotation brake, the lock and the brake being active in the locked position.
Wall feed-through element for a fluid line and wall feed-through
Wall feed-through element for a fluid line that includes a housing having a feed-through region running in an axial direction with at least one attachment geometry and a stop. The feed-through region is structured with a bearing section and the connection geometry, on a side of the bearing section facing away from the stop at least one, includes at least one shaping protruding radially over the bearing section with a back wall facing the stop and at least one radially springable projection that is offset in a circumferential direction with respect to the shaping and extends toward the stop in an axial direction and beyond the back wall.
Connecting device and gas hob
A connecting arrangement of a gas pipe of a gas appliance to a gas connection of a gas device of the gas appliance comprising a connecting device to connect the gas pipe to the gas connection. To achieve a safer and more reliable connection between the gas pipe and the gas connection, the connecting device is inserted between the gas pipe and the gas connection. The invention also comprises a gas appliance with such a connecting arrangement and the assembly process of the connecting arrangement.
TWO-PART SNAP-TOGETHER FEEDTHROUGHS
A feedthrough for feeding signals through a panel having opposite sides includes first and second parts. The first part can include a first body configured to be disposed in a first portion of an opening in a panel, a first lumen disposed within the first body, and a first engagement area comprising a first contact area. The second part can include a second body configured to be disposed in a second portion of the opening in the panel, a second lumen disposed within the second body, and a second engagement area configured to engage the first contact area, wherein engaging the first contact area with the second engagement area causes deformation of the first part, the second part, or both to hold the first part and the second part within the opening such that the first lumen and the second lumen are disposed generally concentrically with each other.
