A device, that can attach near a distal end of a cord, has a receptacle therein for removably further attaching the device to the cord itself. Thus, a cord on a tool, for example, can be wrapped around the tool or a cord storage area of the tool and the end of the cord can be removably clipped onto the cord itself, thus removing the need to wrap or tie the end of the cord while keeping the cord from tangling or unwrapping. Typically, the device is permanently affixed to the cord, near its distal end. Various means can be used to secure the device to the cord, including adhesive, a locking mechanism, friction, or combinations thereof.

Cable retainer apparatuses for retaining a cable, and aircraft and methods including such apparatuses are provided. In one example, a cable retainer for retaining a cable proximate a surface of an aircraft includes a cable retainer. The cable retainer is configured to retain the cable. A fairing is disposed about the cable retainer and is configured to couple to the aircraft to support the cable retainer adjacent to the surface of the aircraft.

A cable cleat assembly used to secure cables to a wire basket for cable management. The cable cleat assembly includes a base plate that receives the cables and a stainless steel strap that maintains the cables on the base plate. The stainless steel strap has a first end member and a second end member. The stainless strap is positioned over the cables on the base plate with the first end member and the second end member wrapped under the base plate. Clamp bars are positioned within the first end member and the second end member. Fasteners extend through the clamp bars, the first end member, and the second end member to secure the cable cleat assembly to the wire basket.

A P-clamp assembly and method to secure elongate items, such as wires, cables and the like into bundles and to further secure the bundles a support structure. The assembly includes an integrally formed clamp member and a mount element. The clamp member includes a pair of substantially symmetrical, locking arcuate members that includes a hinge mechanism.

A bracket of a unitary construction and being of a substantial U-shape having a first elongate section and opposed extension sections extending from opposed free ends of said elongate section, and at an angle to the plane of said elongate section, the arrangement including a slot which extends across at least part of said elongate section and at least part of one of said extension sections.

Method and apparatus for securing a duct to a bracket or hanger using a duct saddle. The duct saddle includes a body that includes a first side and a second opposing side. The body includes a duct seating surface on the a first side. The duct saddle also includes a plurality of retention clips extending from the body. The retention clips include respective tabs extending over the second side of the body and spaced apart from the second side of the body. The tabs include respective retention surfaces facing the second side of the body. The duct saddle also includes retention bodies extending from the respective retention surfaces toward the second side of the body. The above-described duct saddles can be installed on brackets without the use of fasteners, such as bolts and nuts.

The invention relates to a system for sealingly holding cables through an opening. The system comprises a holder substantially in the form of a plate having a central portion with a first thickness between a first side and a second side of the plate and a peripheral portion with a second thickness which is smaller than the first thickness, the holder having in the central portion a plurality of conduits extending in the thickness direction of the plate, each conduit being suitable for having one or more cables extending there through, at least one multi-part sealing plug of an elastic material for sealing an annular space between an inner wall of one of the conduits and a cable extending there through and a gasket of an elastic material and of a shape for placement against the peripheral portion so as to provide a sealing in a circumferential direction of the plate. The plug has at least one circumferentially extending outer rib and at least one circumferentially extending inner rib. In an uninserted state, the following conditions apply: the outer rib has a sawtooth shape for easy insertion, the sawtooth is provided with an angled inward bend for facilitating flexing of the sawtooth in a transverse direction, the inner rib has a top surface extending in circumferential and longitudinal direction for facilitating sliding along the cable, and an imaginary straight line extending in a transverse direction coincides with a pivotal point of the angled bend and intersects the top surface.

A pipe support assembly for use in the pipeline transmission industry. More particularly, an adjustable pipe support assembly for use in bracing and securing a section of pipe, while being able to removably detach a strap of said support assembly from said pipe, and thus, monitor and inspect an outer coating of said pipe for corrosion and/or any other possible damage to said pipe. More particularly still, a pipe support assembly having a plurality of pipe chocks with vibration regulators for use in preventing and controlling any vibratory movements of said pipe.

A fixation arrangement adapted for mounting a wire harness on a support structure of a vehicle includes a rigid portion adapted for clamping the wire harness, and a flexible arm adapted for clamping the fixation arrangement on the support structure so as to squeeze the support structure between the flexible arm and the rigid portion.

A support ring (36) for an exhaust gas duct system, especially of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, comprises a support element body (40) with a plurality of body segments (46, 48) and with a support arrangement (42) connecting the body segments (46, 48) to one another.
