Securing device
A securing device includes at least one rigid ring configured to encircle the pipe, and at least one securing system, rigid and distinct from the ring, including a body which has a first contact face configured to be pressed firmly against and secured to a surface of a structure, and at least one groove in which the ring is housed, the groove being configured to allow the securing system to slide with respect to the ring in a direction of sliding along the ring, while being immobile or near-immobile relative to the ring in a plane perpendicular to the direction of sliding.
Gasketed Pipe Support System
A pipeline support device and a gasketed pipeline supporting system is disclosed. The pipeline support device comprises a gasket, a gasket support, and one or more bands. The gasket support provides support to the gasket. The gasket receives a pipe to be supported and the pipe is enclosed using the one or more bands on the gasket. The gasket is made of a resilient compressible material to provide high durability and long-life. The gasketed pipeline supporting system provides a pipeline support device and system with improved corrosion resistance and monitoring capabilities.
CLAMP FOR ELONGATE OBJECTS
A clamp comprises first and second clamp halves, each comprising an elongate object receiving portion and a portion of a clamp retention mechanism. The first and second elongate object receiving portions are sized and shaped to cooperatively hold an elongate object at a desired position when the first and second clamp halves are fastened together. The first and second portions of the clamp retention mechanism are sized and shaped to (a) engage each other when the first and second clamp halves are moved towards each other in a first direction, (b) fasten the first and second clamp halves together without requiring use of a tool to engage the retention mechanism, and (c) disengage from each other when the first and second clamp halves are moved away from each other in a direction orthogonal to the first direction to unfasten the first and second clamp halves without use of a tool.
RATCHETING CABLE CLAMP
A clamp including a body having a top portion hinged to a bottom portion, each of the top portion and the bottom portion including a rounded inner surface for receiving an elongated element, a ratchet on the top portion having a plurality of teeth, an opening in the bottom portion for removably receiving the ratchet, and a retaining assembly for adjustably engaging a portion of the plurality of teeth in the opening, the retaining assembly being releasable without tools.
Clamp
A clamp comprising: a first arcuate portion; a second arcuate portion hingedly connected to the first arcuate portion; and a ratchet mechanism for locking the first and second arcuate portions in a closed position; wherein the ratchet mechanism comprises a linear rack provided with the second arcuate portion and a pawl provided with the first arcuate portion for receiving the linear rack; wherein the linear rack comprises one or more asymmetrical teeth; wherein the pawl comprises a plurality of fingers which are biased into engagement with the teeth of the linear rack.
Device for securing at least one insulation on a duct, duct equipped with said securing device
A device for securing at least one insulating tube on a duct, includes an inner ring configured to be mounted on the duct, an outer ring coaxial to the inner ring, and a transverse web linking the inner and outer rings, the inner and outer rings and the transverse web forming two recesses, arranged on either side of the transverse web, each configured to receive an end of an insulating tube.
Wire protection member
A wire protection member includes a pipe and a protector that define a routing pathway of a wire. The protector has a body part and a cover part that are connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the pipe and cover an end part of the pipe. A protector-side locking part is provided at at least one of the body part or the cover part. At the pipe, a pipe-side locking part is provided that (i) when the body part and the cover part are connected, fits together with the protector-side locking part from the direction intersecting the axial direction and (ii) restricts positional deviation of the protector in a circumferential direction of the pipe and in the axial direction of the pipe.
PIPE HANGER
A clip for suspending a horizontal pipe from a ceiling joist has a cut ring for supporting the pipe, two prongs projecting from the ring, and securing holes in the prongs for securing the prongs to the joist with a nail or screw. The pipe enters the ring through the cut. The clip is then secured into a closed position, with the cut ends of the cylinder in close contact. Each prong has a lower end, which is angled slightly toward the cut, and an upper end bent at a large angle from the lower end. In closed position, the upper prongs align in parallel, with one prong directly in front of the other. The securing holes in the two prongs are then aligned so that a nail or screw can pass through both of them. The clip, ideally constructed from plastic, is inexpensive and easy to install and reuse.
Clamping device configured to hold one or more longitudinal elements
Clamping device includes a clamp frame that is configured to move between an open configuration, in which the clamp frame is configured to receive at least one longitudinal element, and a closed configuration, in which the clamp frame wraps around and holds the at least one longitudinal element. The clamp frame includes a coupling end having an inner surface and a coupling base having an outer surface. The inner and outer surfaces have profiles that form a locked engagement to hold the clamp frame in the closed configuration. The clamping device also includes a secondary locking mechanism that secures the coupling end and the coupling base to each other. The secondary locking mechanism is activated after the clamp frame is held in the closed configuration by the locked engagement.
Clamp
A clamp comprising: a first arcuate portion; a second arcuate portion hingedly connected to the first arcuate portion; and a ratchet mechanism for locking the first and second arcuate portions in a closed position; wherein the ratchet mechanism comprises a linear rack provided with the second arcuate portion and a pawl provided with the first arcuate portion for receiving the linear rack; wherein the linear rack comprises one or more asymmetrical teeth; wherein the pawl comprises a plurality of fingers which are biased into engagement with the teeth of the linear rack.
