VACUUM STABILITY BRACKET
A stability bracket, which may be configured to be attached to a vacuum that has a hose. The stability bracket includes a mating arm defining a flexible region and configured to conform to the vacuum, irrespective of size and/or shape. The stability bracket may be attached via a strap to any size/shape vacuum. The stability bracket includes a bracket arm operatively attached to one side of the mating arm, such that the bracket arm defining a hose gap opposite the attachment side, which is configured to receive the hose into the bracket arm. In some configurations, the bracket arm may be formed integrally with a wheel caster housing operatively attached to a lower housing of the vacuum. This may be referred to as a caster bracket arm, which extends from the wheel caster housing, such that the hose is configured to sit within the caster bracket arm.
Cable management assembly
A cable management assembly includes an arm and a cable management device to be mounted on the arm. The arm includes a mounting hole and a positioning hole. The cable management device includes a wall provided with a mounting portion and an elastic portion. The elastic portion includes a connecting section disposed on the wall and an elastic section connected to the connecting section and including an engaging feature. The mounting portion of the cable management device can enter the mounting hole of the arm and be blocked by a blocking section adjacent to the mounting hole such that the cable management device is mounted to the positioning hole through the engaging feature of the elastic section.
Holding device to hold a tube or cable in engagement with a bracket
A holding device to hold a tube or cable in engagement with a bracket is provided with a structure having a seat, which is a through seat along an axis and is defined by a substantially C-shaped edge so as to have a radial opening; the structure further has a slit, which extends along a radial direction up to said seat so as to allow the bracket, in use, to be inserted into the slit and engage the seat; the holding device is further provided with a wing, which is movable between an open position, in which the seat can be accessed through the opening and a closed configuration, in which the opening is closed by the wing.
Ring and Hook Wire Management System
A cable management hanger for securely hanging at least one cable on a module structure, wherein the cable management hanger includes a ring member, a hook and a neck transition portion. The ring member is adaptable to hang at least one cable therethrough. The hook includes a tip and a neck member. The tip is connected with the module structure. The neck transition portion is connected with the hook and the ring member. The neck transition portion and the neck member affect the center of gravity thereby enabling the cable management hanger to support the at least one cable and to hang on the module structure.
RISER RING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
A system for and a method of preventing a conduit, pipe, or other similar traversing piece of equipment, from falling through an opening, and for facilitating ready adjustment of the traversing piece of equipment during installation, maintenance, and/or repair services. A first embodiment may involve a single-component system or a multi-component system. A second embodiment may involve a multi-component system for and method of effectively increasing the diameter of a conduit or pipe to an amount greater than that of an opening, but in a way such that the conduit or pipe can be adjustably extended without need for disengaging the system or back-tracking/reversing the method. A third embodiment may involve an annular riser ring and method of use thereof, wherein the riser ring is configured to slide over a conduit or pipe and is held in place along the pipe or conduit by a tight but slidable friction fit.
Cable holding element and method
A cable holding element configured for attachment to either an angled frame having internal corners, or external corners or both. The cable holding element includes a base body and rows of latching projections that project from the base body to define at least one channel area for holding cable. The latching projections each have a first section and a second section. The first section and the second section form an acute angle towards the base body. A first row of latching projections opposes a second row of latching projections. The opposing latching projections cooperate to interlock without contact, in a comb-like manner to hold cable within the cable holding element and to form guiding structure that guides cable into and out from the channel area. In an alternate embodiment, the cable holding element has a flat base body capable of attachment to a planar surface.
Systems for removing sludge from or distributing fluids in sludge or waste collection vessels
Systems for use in one or more sludge or waste collection devices (e.g., containers, vessels or basins). One such system is a sludge removal system for removing sludge from one or more sludge collection devices. The sludge removal system includes one or more sludge removal grids disposed in one or more sludge collection devices. Each sludge removal grid preferably includes at least one header and a plurality of sludge collection laterals. Another such system includes a fluid distribution system for distributing one or more fluids in one or more sludge or waste collection devices. A movement restricting or prevention member is provided in both the fluid distribution and sludge removal systems to prevent or restrict movement of the sludge collection laterals and the fluid distribution laterals away from or towards a floor of a corresponding collection device without anchoring or fixing the laterals to the floor.
Cable supporting device
A cable supporting device can suppress a coil spring from protruding toward an inner circumferential side of a tubular portion of a main body, and can apply, to a nut member, a rotational force in a direction toward a stopper. The cable supporting device includes: a main body including a tubular portion in which a through hole is formed and on which an external thread is formed; a nut member; a stopper arranged on one side in the first direction with respect to the external thread and opposed to the nut member; and a coil spring applying, to the nut member, a rotational force in a direction approaching the stopper. An engagement portion that engages a first end portion of the coil spring is formed in the nut member, and an insertion groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the tubular portion.
RISER RING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
A system for and a method of preventing a conduit, pipe, or other similar traversing piece of equipment, from falling through an opening, and for facilitating ready adjustment of the traversing piece of equipment during installation, maintenance, and/or repair services. A first embodiment may involve a single-component system or a multi-component system. A second embodiment may involve a multi-component system for and method of effectively increasing the diameter of a conduit or pipe to an amount greater than that of an opening, but in a way such that the conduit or pipe can be adjustably extended without need for disengaging the system or back-tracking/reversing the method. A third embodiment may involve an annular riser ring and method of use thereof, wherein the riser ring is configured to slide over a conduit or pipe and is held in place along the pipe or conduit by a tight but slidable friction fit.
Pipe Insulation Shield With Adaptive Retaining Tabs
A pipe insulation shield includes a metal sheet having first and second longitudinal edges, an arcuate shape from the first longitudinal edge to the second longitudinal edge, and first and second arcuate edges. The arcuate shape defines a channel with a lower portion that has first and second opposing, U-shaped apertures passing through it, which define opposing first and second metal tabs. Each of the first and second tabs is pivotable from a first position parallel to the lower portion of the sheet to a second position transverse to the lower portion of the sheet, and each of the first and second tabs pivots towards the other when pivoted from the first position to the second position. The tabs are sufficiently spaced apart from each other to accommodate different support structures. In advantageous embodiments, the four corners of sheet are rounded.
