CABLE LADDER
A cable ladder formed by two side rails and crosspieces, all formed of extruded polymer material. The side rails have a channel receiving a corresponding end of the crosspieces. The channel has a lower rib and an upper rib. A projection of the lower rib or upper rib has openings along a longitudinal direction of the side rail. The ends of the crosspieces go through the opening of the projection and have a recess in which a corresponding portion of the channel is snap-fitted. The lower rib of the side rails is bent over itself along a bending line, such that a final section of the lower rib experiences downward expansion by elastic bending when the end of the crosspiece is introduced.

Locking assembly for securing one or more building elements in a building system
A locking assembly (100) for securing one or more building elements in a building system is disclosed herein. The locking assembly (100) comprises: a first component (110) adapted for engagement to the building system, the first component (110) including a first locking portion (112) defining a first surface profile; a second component (120) including a second locking portion (122) defining a second surface profile corresponding to the first surface profile of the first locking portion (112), the second locking portion (122) being adapted for engagement with the first locking portion (112); and a third component (130) having a first end and a second end, the first end being adapted for engagement with the second locking portion (122) of the second component (120), wherein the third component (130) is resiliently deformable from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration under application of force to the third component (130), wherein in the locked configuration, the second locking portion (122) is engaged to the first locking portion (112) so as to secure the first component (110) to the second component (120), and in the unlocked configuration, the second locking portion (122) is disengaged from the first locking portion (112).
Mechanical Connector, Two Part Connector and Muntin Clip for Providing a Frictional Engagement
The present application provides a mechanical connector adapted for coupling to a mating element, as part of muntin clip or a two part connector. The mechanical connector includes a body having at least one surface adapted for engaging a reciprocal surface of the mating element, wherein the at least one surface of the body of the mechanical connector slides across and frictionally engages the reciprocal surface of the mating element across a predefined distance during the coupling and decoupling of the mechanical connector relative to the mating element. The mechanical connector further includes one or more protruding elements, coupled to the at least one surface of the body of the mechanical connector, which extend in a direction toward the reciprocal surface of the mating element during engagement of the at least one surface of the mechanical connector with the reciprocal surface of the mating element, where the protruding elements is attached to the at least one surface at a first end of the protruding element and being free at the second end of the protruding element, and where the protruding element can separately flex along the length of the protruding element toward each of multiple directions including opposite directions. When the mechanical connector engages and slides relative to the mating element, the one or more protrusions are caused to flex in a direction that is substantially opposite a direction of the movement of the mechanical connector relative to the mating element along at least a portion of the predefined distance.
ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR A BUILDING STRUCTURE AND A WALL STRUCTURE HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT SYSTEM
An adjustable support system has a base bracket member, a clip member, and an outer bracket. The base bracket member has a first end wall that overlays a substrate, a body wall extending outwardly therefrom and a second end wall opposite the first end wall. The clip member has a base bracket member coupling, and a projecting arm. The base bracket member coupling is attached to the first end wall and overlies a portion of the body wall. The projecting arm is spaceable apart from the body wall. The outer bracket has a spanning wall with inner and outer sides. An outer end wall extends from the outer side. The spanning wall is slidably positionable between the body wall of the base bracket member and the at least one clip member, to sandwich the same. Wall assemblies and methods are likewise disclosed.
Cable Bracket Assembly
A mounting bracket used to attach cables to a cable tray rung. The mounting bracket has a bracket main body and a bracket spring attachment. The bracket main body includes a base plate and a cable attachment member for supporting the cables. The bracket spring attachment slidingly engages the bracket main body to form the mounting bracket. The bracket spring attachment secures the assembled mounting bracket to the cable tray rung.
Coupling system and construction including same
A present application is directed to a shelving system having a coupling system comprising a tab coupler and a socket coupler, said tab coupler comprising a locking tab extending from a locking face along a locking axis and configured with a round, T-like sectioned shape; said socket coupler comprising a U-shaped locking socket projecting from a mounting face of the socket coupler along a coupler axis and configured with a U-shaped tab arresting groove; the coupling system is configurable between an unlocked position whereat the locking socket slidingly receives the locking tab so that the locking axis and the coupler axis coincide, and a locked position upon rotating one of the tab coupler and the socket coupler about the coinciding axes, entailing snugly arresting of the locking tab by the locking socket, preventing sliding displacement and axial displacement along the coinciding axes.
CONNECTION LOCK FOR PREFABRICATED COMPONENTS
A connection lock for prefabricated components includes an auxiliary part and a main part which are each provided with a fixing structure for connecting with a prefabricated component in an anchoring fit manner. The auxiliary part includes an auxiliary part body, an auxiliary part transmission structure, and a lock pin structure which is movably mounted to the auxiliary part body.
