ATTACHMENT CLAMP
Various apparatuses to attach a first medical device to a second medical device are described that allow the physician to grasp only a single device while the other device remains securely attached to the one being grasped. The apparatuses, once they are attached to the first medical device, are designed to be easily and quickly attached and detached to a second medical device, normally only requiring the use of one hand. Furthermore, the apparatuses oftentimes include a base that can easily couple and decouple from the portion that is attached to the second medical device so that if the need arises to separately use the second medical device, it can be decoupled from the first medical device without completely removing the apparatus from the second medical device.

Wrap bracket with strap mount
A wrap bracket formed from a strap and a clamp to secure a cable bundle to a support. The strap includes an intermediate portion, a first portion extending from the intermediate portion in a first direction and a second portion extending away from the intermediate portion in a second direction opposite the first direction. The second portion engages the first portion to mount the strap to the support. The clamp includes a base that is secured to the intermediate portion of the strap. A first tab and a second tab extend in opposite directions away from the base. The first and second tabs wrap around the cable bundle to secure the cable bundle to the base.

PERMANENT CONNECTOR
A permanent connector for making a connection point or for connecting objects together. The connector has a body with first and second ends. A male end is connected to the first end and has a neck portion with a groove. The groove has a base and straight sidewalls extending generally perpendicular to the base. A female end is connected to the second end and has an opening defined by interior walls. A recess is formed in the interior walls with a snap ring mounted in the recess. The snap ring is received within the groove when the male end is inserted into the female end resulting in the male end being permanently connected within the female end.
Vehicle bow top clip
A device or system for use in vehicles, such as jeeps, having soft tops. The device or system may include a bow top clip which is configured to engage with, mount on, or secure to a portion of the vehicle, such as the roll bar cage. To help prevent the vehicle soft top from flapping, the vehicle bow top clip is configured to receive and hold a crossbar member.
Corrugated band clamp
A corrugated band clamp is configured to effectively secure a sleeve around a pipe. The corrugated band clamp comprises an elongate member having a first lateral side and an opposing second lateral side. Typically, at least a portion of the length of the elongate member comprises a corrugated portion and at least a portion of the length of the elongate member comprises a non-corrugated portion. The corrugated portion of the elongate member enables the corrugated band clamp to effectively secure sleeves on pipes with non-parallel surfaces. In addition, applications of the corrugated band clamp system, methods of manufacture and methods of use are provided.

Cable routing fastener
A cable routing fastener includes a body and an arm extending therefrom, a head projecting from the body, a cover adjacent the arm so movement of the cover is temporarily restricted by the arm, and a cable connector. The body inserts into an aperture in a panel and positions the head and the cable connector adjacent the panel. The head includes an indicia element indicating an assembly status of the fastener, i.e., whether it is properly installed or not. The cover conceals the indicia element in a concealed mode, and moves relative to the head to an exposed mode so the indicia element is exposed for reading. The arm moves when the body is inserted so the arm no longer interferes with movement of the cover, so the cover can be moved by a user, transitioning from the concealed mode to the exposed mode. A related method of use is provided.
Double Band Clamp Assembly for No Hub Coupling
A double band clamp assembly for use with a no-hub coupling.
