PV MODULE MOUNTING ASSEMBLY WITH CLAMP/STANDOFF ARRANGEMENT
A mounting assembly for use in mid-grab and/or edge-grab applications may include a clamp secured to a stanchion by a clamping fastener. The mounting assembly may also include a mounting plate which may be secured to a mounting device by the stanchion. The mounting assembly may be used, for example, to secure photovoltaic modules (or other devices or structures) of varying heights to a roof or other building surface.
Bonding clamp as photovoltaic module mounting equipment
A bonding clamp includes a top bracket including opposing side walls defining a channel therebetween. The top bracket has an aperture through a central portion thereof. The top bracket is shaped to receive a first photovoltaic (“PV”) module on a first side and a second PV module on a second side. A bottom bracket includes a body and a pair of top flanges extending vertically from a top surface of the body. The pair of top flanges are spaced apart from each other. The bottom bracket also includes anti-rotation flanges extending from a bottom surface of body. A fastening mechanism fastens the top bracket in a fixed position with respect to the bottom bracket.
SPLICE FOR CABLE TRAY AND CABLE TRAY ASSEMBLY INCLUDING SAME
The present disclosure provides a cable tray assembly comprising a cable tray splice, first cable tray section, and second cable tray section adjacent the first cable tray section with both sections having a bottom wall. The cable tray splice couples to the bottom walls. The cable tray splice may include at least two fasteners and a splice body configured to engage adjacent cable tray sections. The fasteners are configured to couple the splice body to the adjacent cable tray sections and include a spring producing a biasing force against the splice body. The disclosure provides a method to form a cable tray assembly including positioning the two cable tray sections end-to-end, positioning a splice body on bottom walls of the two cable tray sections, inserting a fastener through aligned openings in the splice body and the bottom walls, and applying a spring biasing force to the splice body.
Clamp for standing seam
A clamp assembly that may be used for securing to a raised portion of a surface. The clamp assembly comprising a mounting body of a general block shape having a slot for receiving the raised portion formed in a bottom surface of the mounting body attaching the clamp assembly thereto. The clamp assembly is configured with one or more pins that may be formed in a substantially elongated cylindrical shape. The pins may be configured to be received in one or more push-pin holes formed in the mounting body, whereby the push-pin holes extend to the slot from a side surface of push-pin holes. The clamp assembly includes a fastening element adapted to be received in a fastener hole formed adjacent the push-pin holes in the side surface of the mounting body. The fastening element is configured to secure, attach and hold the clamp assembly to the standing seam by forcing the pins against the raised portion of the surface disposed in the slot.

A mounting assembly for use in mid-grab and/or edge-grab applications may include a clamp secured to a stanchion by a clamping fastener. The mounting assembly may also include a mounting plate which may be secured to a mounting device by the stanchion. The mounting assembly may be used, for example, to secure photovoltaic modules (or other devices or structures) of varying heights to a roof or other building surface.
CLAMP ASSEMBLY USING PINS
A versatile clamp assembly that may be used for securing a device generally to an edge of a structure such as a raised portion of a standing seam of a metal roof. The assembly comprises a mounting body with an open loop having a slot for receiving the raised portion formed by the mounting body attaching the clamp assembly thereto. The assembly is configured with one or more pins that may be configured to be received in one or more push-pin openings formed in the mounting body, whereby the push-pin openings extend from a fastener base portion to a second arm portion. The assembly includes a fastener adapted to be received in a fastener opening formed adjacent the push-pin openings. The fastener is configured to secure and hold the clamp assembly to the standing seam by forcing the pins against the raised portion of the surface disposed in the slot.
SOLAR PANEL MOUNTING SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS
In various embodiments, a mounting system may comprise a downslope rail, an upslope rail, a first clamp and a second clamp. The downslope rail may have a first profile and comprising a downslope face and an upslope shelf. The upslope rail may have a second profile and comprising a downslope shelf and an upslope face. The first clamp may be configured to engage the downslope face and accept the installation of a first end of a solar panel. The second clamp may be configured to engage the upslope face and retain a second end of the solar panel against a downslope shelf
Connection arrangement of at least two bodies, in particular at least two bodies of components of a mechanical automation group of movements, with a removable constraining group
A connection arrangement (10) comprising at least two bodies (11a, 11b), in particular at least two bodies of components of a mechanical automation group of movements, to be connected to each other and a constraining group (12) of these two bodies (11a, 11b) removably to each other, wherein each of the two bodies comprises a mutual rest surface (13a, 13b) for resting on each other and a coupling profile (14a, 15a, 14b, 15b) with the constraining group (12) defined in correspondence of at least two opposite perimetric portions of the respective mutual rest surface (13a, 13b), and wherein the constraining group (12) comprises at least one pair of tightening clamps (17, 18) which are engageable with the coupling profiles (14a, 15a, 14b, 15b) and which are removably connectable together by at least one connecting member (19).
SPEED REDUCTION GEAR COMPRISING TWO INTERMEDIATE TRANSMISSION LINES
Speed reduction gear comprising two intermediate transmission lines, in particular for a turbine engine, comprising an input line (12) and an output line that is driven by the input line via said intermediate transmission lines, said intermediate transmission lines being substantially parallel, characterised in that said reduction gear comprises means for distributing loads between said intermediate lines, said load distribution means comprising swiveling coupling means (30) for rotatably coupling one end of the input line, and oil-damping means (40, 50) for damping radial movements of an opposite end of the input line.
