CABINET WITH HOOK AND BOLT BASED FASTENING DEVICE
A cabinet includes four upright members having a triangular section and including two outer boards, an inner board, and two longitudinal groove formed at a joining portion of a first end of the inner board and an end of one outer board and at a joining portion of a second end of the inner board and an end of the other outer board respectively, the inner board including an upper first through hole and a lower second through hole; a plurality of board members each including four through holes at four corners respectively; a plurality of fastening devices at the through holes of the board members respectively, each fastening device including a hook assembly and a bolt and nut combination for securing the hook assembly, the upright member, and the board member together; and three board elements each disposed between the grooves of two adjacent upright members.
ADAPTER CLIP
An adapter clip includes a first portion configured to fit within an engine clip or an engine clamp, a second portion including an annular portion, the annular portion being configured to fit around an engine component, and a web portion connected to the annular portion and the first portion. A diameter of the first portion differs from a diameter of the annular portion.
ATTACHMENT OF COMPOSITE LUG TO COMPOSITE STRUCTURAL TUBE
A landing gear system includes a composite tube. The composite tube comprises at least one of (i) a filament wound composite tube, (ii) a filament braided tube, and (iii) a composite tube of laid up filament. The landing gear system further comprises a first lug cluster mounted to the composite tube and a second lug cluster mounted to the composite tube. The first lug cluster and the second lug cluster are oriented at an angle to one another.
Attachment of composite lug to composite structural tube
The present disclosure describes lug clusters for composite tubes and methods for making such lug clusters. Lug clusters of the present disclosure may include a first side, a second side, and a saddle. The saddle may be placed in adjacent contact with a tube and a filament may be wound around the lug cluster and tube. The wound lug cluster and tube may be resin transfer molded. Machining may follow to remove material and finalize the shape of the lug cluster and/or tube. Thus, a lug cluster may be attached to a composite tube.
INTERLACED WIRE CLAMPS FOR LABORATORY SHAKERS
Disclosed herein are flask clamps that capture and firmly hold flasks or vessels of various shapes, enclosing the sidewall of the flask or vessel in a trap or loops. The trap relatively conforms to the profile of the perimeter of the vessel and are spring loaded in the upward direction in order to rise upward along the sides of the vessel. The loops pivot relative to the bottom of the flask creating an arc motion that tightens against the sidewall as it rises. The loaded loops are in tension against the flask, and the multiplicity of loops hold vessels in tension with opposing forces.
Combination securing clips
A combination securing clip is provided that includes at least two different connectors each securable to a desired surface and a region securable to a conduit. The region can be directly and/or indirectly secured to the conduit. In some embodiments, the at least two connectors include two different types of connectors—and include a push-in connector and a slide-on connector. Thus, the combination securing clip can include a slide-on connector configured to slide on to a surface to secure the clip to the surface, a push-in connector configured to push in to an opening in the surface to secure the clip to the surface, and a directly and/or indirectly region securable to a conduit.
Connection Device
A connection device between a first member and a second member that includes a flexible male configuration disposed on the first member, the male configuration includes a finger extension that has a necked portion and an expanded terminating head portion. Also included is a flexible female configuration disposed on the second member, the female configuration includes a cavity having a narrow duct portion that expands into a chamber portion. The male and female configurations are removably engageable to one another, as the expanded head portion is manually pushed into the narrow duct portion and continuing further to manually push the expanded head portion into the chamber portion until the expanded head portion bottoms out into the chamber portion resulting in the first and second members being in a substantially fluid tight connection to one another.
Self-locking edge clip assembly
The present disclosure provides an edge clip assembly for attachment of a component, and, more specifically, to an edge clip assembly which is self-locking. The edge clip assembly includes a clip body and a spacer provided within the clip body, and further includes an interlock securing the spacer in a final position in which the clip body can be engaged with the component to hold the component under tension.
Roof mount bracket
The present disclosure is generally directed to mounting components on a corrugated metal roof. The disclosed systems and devices utilize a multi-surface clip (e.g., multi-planar) to securely attaching components such as rails to the corrugated metal roof while increasing the pullout strength of mounted structures and more evenly spreading the load of such mounted structures over the corrugated metal roof. In one embodiment, the multi-surface clip allows attaching a rail to the top of a rib of the corrugated metal roof while a fastener mechanically attaches the clip to a side surface of the rib. This allows the fastener to experience shear forces when upward forces (e.g., normal to the top surface of the rib) are applied to the rail or a structure supported by the rail.
CEILING SYSTEMS
A ceiling system in one embodiment includes an overhead support grid comprised of a plurality of intersecting grid support members and a ceiling tile mountable to the grid. Retaining clips support the ceiling tile from the grid which may be concealed from view. The retaining clips each include a cavity that receives a grid support member and a pair of resilient mounting elements configured to lockingly engage a support member. The mounting elements are laterally movable in response to inserting the support member into the cavity of the retaining clip. In one embodiment, the movable elements include locking tabs which create a snap-fit interlock with the grid support member for securing the ceiling tile to the grid.
