APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INSTALLING A CLAMP ON A HOSE SUBSTRATE
An improved hose clamp having an annular band having an inner face, tensioning means, and an annular spring liner; the spring liner having a circumferential shoulder near an edge of the liner; and a central, cylindrical, flat, contact portion of smaller circumference than the shoulder, and of smaller width than the inner face of the band. The shoulder is adapted to abut the inner face and the contact portion is adapted to contact a hose or other article to be clamped.
Hose clamp with flat spring liner
An improved hose clamp having an annular band having an inner face, tensioning means, and an annular spring liner; the spring liner having a circumferential shoulder near an edge of the liner; and a central, cylindrical, flat, contact portion of smaller circumference than the shoulder, and of smaller width than the inner face of the band. The shoulder is adapted to abut the inner face and the contact portion is adapted to contact a hose or other article to be clamped.
Medical device
A medical device (100) comprises an elongated, flexible band (110) having a front side (112), a rear side (114), a leading end (116) and a trailing end (118), and having perforations (120) and rungs (122) defined therein. A locking case (130, 132) is arranged on the front side (112) of the band (112) and has a channel (150) dimensioned for reception of the band (110). The medical device (100) also comprises a locking member (140, 142, 144) configured to interlock perforations (120) and rungs (122) defined in the band (110). Multiple studs (160, 162) are arranged on the rear side (114) of the band (110).
RFID ENHANCED FIXTURING APPARATUS
A fixturing apparatus that includes a housing defining an interior space and having a trapezoidal cross-section, a first end, and an opposing second end, and is formed to include an aperture extending therethrough from the first end to said second end. The fixturing apparatus further comprises a flexible strap and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip to allow identifying and tracking the fixturing apparatus.
LOW PROFILE, WRAPPABLE ELONGATE MEMBERS SPACER AND METHOD OF MAINTAINING ELONGATE MEMBERS IN FIXED, SPACED RELATIVE RELATION
A low profile, wrappable spacer and method for maintaining a pair of elongate members in fixed, spaced relation to one another is provided. The wrappable spacer includes a flexible elongate body having oppositely facing inner and outer faces extending along laterally spaced, lengthwise extending edges between opposite ends. The inner face has an adhesive surface. At least one member extends between the edges transversely to the lengthwise extending edges. The member extends outwardly from the adhesive surface, wherein the adhesive surface is configured for adhesion to at least one of the member, the elongate members or the outer face.
Bundle tie with head dampener
An apparatus according to the present invention provides a bundle tie including a head dampener. The tie generally comprises a strap and a tie head coupled to the strap. The tie head is adapted to engage a free end of the strap, thereby forming a loop, which may be formed or placed about one or a bundle of elongate articles such as conduit, wires, cables, ropes, and pipes, for example. The tie head is provided with a head dampener which serves to cushion what otherwise may be damaging force placed upon the one or more elongate articles by the tie head. The dampener may also serve to limit movement of the one or more elongate articles through the loop formed by the tie.
Device for securing and retaining at least one electrical harness in a turbomachine
The device for securing and retaining at least one electrical harness in a turbomachine includes: at least one hollow profiled element that extends in one direction and has at least two slots of approximately the same dimension and; and a clamping element intended to retain the at least one harness in position in a manner parallel to the hollow profiled element. The clamping element includes: a touch-and-close tape designed to cooperate with the width of the slots so as to allow it to pass on both sides of the profiled element and; an end stop secured to the tape, the end stop preventing the tape from passing through one of the slots in the profiled element.
Fixturing apparatus
A fixturing apparatus that includes a housing defining an interior space and having a trapezoidal cross-section, a first end, and an opposing second end, and is formed to include an aperture extending therethrough from the first end to said second end.
Low profile, wrappable elongate members spacer and method of maintaining elongate members in fixed, spaced relative relation
A low profile, wrappable spacer and method for maintaining a pair of elongate members in fixed, spaced relation to one another is provided. The wrappable spacer includes a flexible elongate body having oppositely facing inner and outer faces extending along laterally spaced, lengthwise extending edges between opposite ends. The inner face has an adhesive surface. At least one member extends between the edges transversely to the lengthwise extending edges. The member extends outwardly from the adhesive surface, wherein the adhesive surface is configured for adhesion to at least one of the member, the elongate members or the outer face.
Elongate attachable flexible magnetic article holder
An elongate article holder with a flexible non-magnetic band, along with two terminal ends that may be removably secured to each other, is used to wrap around an elongate article or coils of the elongate article. In various exemplary embodiments, removable coupling of the two terminal ends may be provided by magnet(s), which may be substantially protected from environmental harm while simultaneously helping to achieve optimum magnetic closure strength by using tubular apertures/dimples which may run from a cavity housing the magnet to or near a mating surface of a respective terminal end. Further, the flexible non-magnetic band may have an integral closed loop for removably attaching to the elongate article, operating by passing a portion of the elongate article through a formed orifice that is formed from the integral closed loop.
