It is an object of the present invention to provide a technology that makes it possible to easily maintain the wrapped state of a sheet member around a wire. An exterior member-equipped wire includes a wire and an exterior member. The exterior member is formed by the sheet member being wrapped around the wire. The sheet member includes a sheet-like body portion formed to be able to be wrapped around the wire, and an easily bendable portion constituting a portion of the sheet-like body portion that extends along a circumferential direction of the wire and whose portion extending along an extension direction of the wire is formed to be more easy to bend than other portions of the sheet-like body portion.

The interconnection device includes a housing, and a first communication unit and an output unit which are accommodated in the housing. The housing includes a duct connector physically attachable and electrically connectable to a wiring duct for transferring first power. The first communication unit performs communication in a power line communication scheme through the wiring duct. The output unit includes a second communication unit and a conversion unit. The second communication unit communicates with a device in a telecommunication standard different from the power line communication scheme in accordance with the communication signal received by the first communication unit. The conversion unit generates second power of a different standard from the first power based on the first power obtained from the wiring duct through the duct connector and supply the second power to the device.

An adapter for mounting cable hangers includes: a floor, a ceiling and side walls that span the floor and ceiling, wherein the ceiling includes a mounting hole; and a cross-member that extends between the side walls that defines at least one window between the cross-member, the floor and one of the side walls.

A composite structure (1) for an aircraft, having at least one insert (2) for receiving attachment devices, each insert (2) includes a core (3) having a major dimension and containing at least one through-hole (4), and a composite strip arrangement formed by a first section (5) surrounding the core (3) and attached to said core (3) by an adhesive polymeric layer, and a second section (6) including at least one free end (6a). The first (5) and the second portion (6) of the composite strip arrangement are disposed over a first surface (1a) of the composite structure (1), such that the major dimension of the core (3) is positioned transversal to said first surface (1 a). The at least one insert (2) is co-cured with the composite structure (1).

A modular retainer assembly is presented herein. The modular retainer assembly, includes a first retainer module defining a flexible first retaining finger and a second retainer module that is distinct from and joined to the first retaining module. The second retainer module defines a flexible second retaining finger. When the first and second retainer modules are mated together, the first retaining finger is arranged opposite the second retaining finger. The first and second retaining fingers are configured to receive and retain an elongate article, such as a wire cable, between them.

A splice for connecting a first and second cable tray includes first and second connectors. The first connector has a first base, a first tine extending from the first base having a first female connecting feature, and a second tine extend from the first base having a first male connecting feature. The first and second tine are separated by a first opening. The second connector has a second base, a third tine extending from the second base having a second female connecting feature, and a fourth tine extend from the second base having a second male connecting feature. The third tine and the fourth tine are separated by a second opening. The first and second connectors are configured to be connected together with the first female connecting feature mating with the second male connecting feature and the first male connecting feature mating with the second female connecting feature.

A device for the wall-fixing of elongated bodies, in particular radiating coaxial cables, of the type equipped with a spacer provided with a cable clamp equipped with a lid for supporting an elongated body in a suspended position onto a wall. The spacer of the device has a structure composed of two arms, whose end facing the wall is provided with a corresponding base, whereas the opposite end of the arms carries a base for fixing to the cable clamp. With respect to the known wall-fixing devices of radiating coaxial cables, that according to the invention offers the advantage of having an improved resistance to flexural and torsional stress, also preventing interferences with the metallic part of the wall-fixing system.

Frangible connectors can extend between and can alone couple adjacent insulator bodies together. The insulator bodies can also include counteracting frangible connectors that can be spaced from and coupled solely to a single one of the plurality of insulator bodies. The counteracting frangible connectors provide a counteracting shearing operation, which can help counteract the counterclockwise rotational movement that the frangible connectors tend to impart as they are sheared. The insulator bodies can be mounted on staples. The insulator bodies can have an upper bridge profile and the staples can have a lower crown profile opposing the upper bridge profile. The lower crown profile and the upper bridge profile can have opposite end portions that engage each other and can have central portions that are simultaneously spaced from each other to provide a central space between corresponding central portions of the insulator bridge and the staple crown.

An electrical box assembly for mounting an electrical component in a countertop. The assembly includes an electrical box with an enclosure adapted to receive electrical wiring. A sidewall on the electrical box includes one or more channels each including a channel bottom, a ramp, and a channel cover with a slot. A mounting bracket includes a base and two arm members and is loosely assembled to the electrical box with the mounting fasteners. A cover bracket is secured in each of the slots. A cover provides access to the electrical component and includes a cover plate, a cavity for housing an electrical component, and a snap-engagement latch for selectively latching the electrical component outward of the cover plate or inward within the electrical box enclosure. Installation time and effort are minimized as site preparation requires only a single hole that may be made with a standard size hole-saw.

A tubing management apparatus that is operable to provide management of a medical tube. The tubing management apparatus includes a cord having a coiling device coupled to the first end of the cord and a clip secured to the second end of the cord. A plurality of couplers are slidably coupled to the cord intermediate the first end and second end. The plurality of couplers include a body having an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion of the body is configured to be slidably secured to the cord. The upper portion of the body of each of the plurality of couplers has an embedded magnet so as to assist in maintaining the couplers adjacent to each other. The lower portion of the body of the plurality of couplers includes various alternative embodiments that are configured to receive and retain a portion of a tube.
