An orbital camera system has at least two extensions that extend from a hub to rotate a camera about a hub in a balanced and low vibration manner. In addition, the exemplary orbital camera system is versatile in configuration having extensions with hinges to allow variations in the configuration. The hub may be powered by a motor that provides smooth rotation even at low speeds. The hub is coupled to a down rod and the motor may be detachably attached to the down rod. A counterweight may be a battery or a battery station that enables detachable attachment of a battery thereto. An illumination light is coupled to the hub to provide uniform light over the imaging area. A focal element and/or a centering light emitter may be configured along the rotational axis for aid in placing an object to be imaged.

A mount, mount assembly, and speaker mount. That includes: a mount body with flange; a tower assembly including: a trigger, a dog; a bias member biasing the dog towards the mount body; a path guide guiding the dog along the tower assembly. The path guide allows/forces the dog to be oriented according to: a first orientation wherein the foot is pointed directly towards the mount body and substantially aligned with the tower assembly, and a second orientation wherein the foot is not so pointed and aligned such that the toot does interfere with travel of the mount through an aperture when the dog is in a second position that is spaced closer to the mount body than the first position. The dog changes between positions by operation of the bias member and not by a screw.

A bracket system for mounting an electrical box and other components to a ceiling structure can include a support bar and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket can be configured to receive an end of the support bar and selectively secure the support bar at any of a plurality of positions relative to the mounting bracket.

A connecting device (10) is provided for connecting a first article (14) to an elongate second article (24). The connecting device (10) comprises a securing arrangement (25) for securing the device (10) to the elongate second article (24), and an attaching arrangement (26) for attaching the connecting device to the first article (14). The attaching arrangement (26) is receivable through an opening (22) in the first article (14). The attaching arrangement (26) comprises a locking arrangement (40) for locking the connecting device (10) to the first article (14). The locking arrangement (40) comprises a detent formation (42) configured to be received by an opening in the first article (14).

The present disclosure describes strand mounts for small cell radios and/or antennas. A strand mount may include a plurality of polymeric mounting tubes configured such that one or more small cell radios and/or antennas can be mounted thereto, a pair of polymeric retaining members, each retaining member having a plurality of apertures sized and configured to receive a corresponding end of each mounting tube, and one or more mounting brackets configured to secure the strand mount on a cable strand. Stand mount assemblies are also described herein.

A bracket system for mounting an electrical box and other components to a ceiling structure can include a support bar and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket can be configured to receive an end of the support bar and selectively secure the support bar at any of a plurality of positions relative to the mounting bracket.

A storage system including at least two support rails attached to a ceiling or other overhead structure and at least two channel rails which are configured to be moveably attached to the support rails in a spaced relationship with sliding fastening clips. The channel rails move along the length of the support rail in order to accommodate the different widths of storage containers which are to be installed in the storage system.

In a cable-driven three-dimensional crane system, an end-effector is moved within an operating volume defined by dynamically shifting draw points. Winch assemblies pull the end-effector toward the respective draw points. Each winch assembly includes a cable router that manages travel of its drive cable through the associated draw point. Cable length encoders determine the effective length of each drive cable, from which one method of end-effector position calculations can be made. Draw point angle trackers assess the instantaneous lateral and vertical angles of each drive cable as it vectors away from its draw point toward the carrier from which another method of end-effector position calculations can be made as well as enabling self-calibration techniques. Sensitive mechanical and electrical components are sheltered in heated enclosures that wipe debris from the drive cable and track with its changing position. Multi-zone applications allow sharing of winch assemblies.

A swivel mechanism (200) for orientating a camera includes a base (8) configured to attach to a support structure; a wedge mechanism comprising a first wedge (5) and a second wedge (6) each having an inclined surface (5d, 6b) on one side, wherein the inclined surface of the first wedge (5d) is arranged on the inclined surface of the second wedge (6b), a back cover (1) configured to receive a camera head (100), the back cover (1) arranged at a side of the swivel mechanism (200) opposite to the base (8) in a direction of a pan axis (A1), wherein the back cover (1) comprises a joint member (1a) connected to the wedge mechanism; a housing (40), arranged in the direction of the pan axis (A1) between the base (8) and the back cover (1), wherein the housing (40) encloses the joint member (1a) and the wedge mechanism.

The present invention is directed towards a system for hanging an article under a structure, the system comprising a structure comprising at least one plank; an article; and at least one bracket comprising a structure engaging portion structured and arranged to contact a top surface of at least one plank; a bottom extension portion structured and arranged to be coupled to the structure engaging portion and having a length that extends below a bottom surface of the plank; and an article engaging portion structured and arranged to be coupled to the article. Also disclosed are methods of hanging an article underneath a structure, and a bracket.
