A sliding track connector for mounting objects to a track member using a twist or zip ties. The connector includes a body with a bottom surface, outer sidewalls, a center void, and a plurality of transversely aligned holes. In one embodiment, a post extends downward from the body's bottom surface and slides freely inside the slot formed on the track member. Attached to the post is a wide cap that, when twisted, presses against the inside surfaces of the flanges formed on opposite sides of the slot. In one embodiment, the post and cap are integrally formed on the body so that when the body is rotated, the post rotates inside the channel, and the cap becomes wedged against the flanges on opposite sides of the slot. One or two twist ties are inserted through the holes on the body to hold an object on the track member.

Described herein are improved multi-purpose television mounting systems, methods, and apparatuses. Embodiments can include a clamp having a clamp rail and a clamp base that can be arranged in different ways so that a TV mounting system using the clamp can mount a TV to many different types of objects for use indoors or outdoors.

The invention relates to a locking device designed to lock objects to tubes or other elongated elements. The locking device generally comprises one or more lock plates and lock housings. In one exemplary embodiment, when assembling the locking device to a tube, two lock housings are put together with open sides against each other around a tube with a dimension corresponding to approximately half of a recess which is found on the lock housing's sides and are oriented in the tube's axial direction. The two lock housings form a closed geometry around the tube. Lock plates are used to connect the two lock housings together. By applying a screw in a threaded hole in one of the lock housings' cover, the through tube is pressed against an opposite lock housing at substantially the same time as the lock plates hold the lock housings together.

A photovoltaic (PV) module clamp may be configured to interface with a torque tube and a PV module rail fixedly coupled to a PV module. The PV module clamp may include a seating portion made of two or more lateral walls and a base surface. A clamp body of the PV module clamp may be coupled to the seating portion. The clamp body may include a shape corresponding to a cross-sectional shape of the torque tube. The PV module clamp may include a fastening feature for interlocking the PV module clamp with the PV module rail responsive to the PV module rail being seated in the seating portion of the PV module clamp.

An apparatus and method for securing fence wire to posts employs a fence clip having a ring-like body with first and second legs extending from the body on opposite sides of an opening within the body. A nut and bolt arrangement is employed for drawing the legs toward each other, reducing the opening and clamping the ring-like body about a cylindrical post. Each of the fence clips also has a pair of containment guides extending from opposite edges of the ring-like body, the containment guides forming a passageway for receiving and maintaining barbed wire. The openings of the passageway are flared outwardly to accommodate the entry of the barbed wire into the passageway regardless of the direction in which the barbed wire passes. The fence clips are adjustable, repositionable, and reusable.

A hose positioner having an body with a passageway extending therethrough. The body is adapted to receive a hose into the passageway. The hose positioner also includes a connecting member extending from the elongate body which is adapted to be releasably retained with a connector.

Described herein is a ceiling system in one embodiment includes a grid support member, ceiling panel, and grid hanger configured to support the grid support member in a suspended manner from an overhead structural support. The grid hanger includes a mounting bracket configured for attachment to the structural support and a hanger member. The hanger member is adjustable in a plurality of selectable mounting positions relative to the mounting bracket, thereby allowing the mounted height of the grid support member to be adjusted in the field. In some embodiment, the hanger member is further angularly adjustable relative to the mounting bracket to avoid installation obstacles. Locking elements are provided to secure the hanger member in the selected mounting position. In one embodiment, the grid support member may have a T-shaped cross section.

A suspension ceiling support clip including a body, a snap-fit connector disposed on the body, and a locking member disposed on the body. The snap-fit connector is configured to receive a first beam of a suspension ceiling that extends in a first direction. The locking member is configured to receive a second beam of the suspension ceiling that extends in a second direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

A method and apparatus for mounting a weapon to a support structure comprising a pintle assembly including a slide block; a pintle coupled to the slide block; a pintle lever with a handle and a rod rotatably coupled to the slide block; and a clamp assembly including a fixed jaw having a first end and a second end forming at least one knuckle; a moveable jaw having a first end and a second end forming a pin; and a clamp lever that releasably couples the first end of the fixed jaw with the first end of the moveable jaw; wherein the pin of the moveable jaw is rotatably coupled to the at least one knuckle of the fixed jaw; the pintle lever is rotatably coupled to the fixed jaw of the clamp assembly; and the pintle assembly and the clamp assembly are rotatably and releasably coupled to each other.
