A pipe coupling includes a first coupling segment defining opposed ends, one end of the first coupling segment defining a first pivotal mount, and another end of the first coupling segment defining a second pivotal mount; a second coupling segment defining opposed ends, a proximal end of the second coupling segment configured to pivotally connect to the first pivotal mount, and a distal end of the second coupling segment configured to receive a fastener; and a third coupling segment defining opposed ends, a proximal end of the third coupling segment configured to pivotally connect to the second pivotal mount, and a distal end of the third coupling segment configured to receive the fastener.

A cable management system for a worktop has a cable support and at least one support mechanism comprising a base body, a first lever and a second lever. The base body is elongated between first and second ends along a major axis and includes respective pivot and fixation points for the first and second levers. The first lever is at a proximal end pivotally supported in the first pivot point, comprises at least a first retaining portion for receiving the cable support, and is fixable at the first fixation point. The second lever is at a proximal end pivotally supportable in the second pivot point, comprises at least one second retaining portion for receiving the cable support, and is fixable at the second fixation point.

A method protects a field joint of a pipeline, where chamfered edges of thermally-insulating parent coatings on conjoined pipe lengths are in mutual opposition about a longitudinally-extending gap. The method includes manufacturing an hourglass-shaped inner layer around the pipe lengths, which layer may be moulded. The inner layer extends longitudinally along the gap between the chamfered edges and at least partially overlies the chamfered edges. A thermally-insulating solid insert is assembled from two or more parts to lie in the gap surrounding the inner layer, and pressure is applied radially inwardly from the insert to the inner layer. An outer layer of molten material is manufactured around the insert to form a watertight barrier and to form one or more melted interfaces with the inner layer. Corresponding field joint arrangements are also disclosed.

A stabilization bracket device for facilitating servicing of in-line piping regulators includes a bracket, which is removably positionable around a regulator, such as a valve, a pump, a sensor, and the like, which is positioned in-line with a pipe, so that a lower end of the bracket abuts a bottom of the regulator. A support element is engaged to and extends bidirectionally from an upper face of the bracket. Each opposing end of the support element abuts an upper surface of the pipe proximate to a respective opposed end of the bracket. A load imparted by the regulator to the bracket is transferred by the support element onto the pipe, positioning a user to service the regulator.

Mounting bracket assemblies including first, second and third bracket members. The first bracket member includes first and second mounting surface portions. The first mounting surface portion engaging a suspension component. The second mounting surface portion defining a receiving zone for receiving a vehicle structure and is disposed along a first side of a first central plane of the receiving zone. A second bracket member includes first and second contact surface portions. The second bracket member is disposed along a second side of the first central plane and along a first side of a second central plane of the receiving zone. A third bracket member includes third and fourth contact surface portions. The third bracket member is disposed along the second side of the first central plane and along a second side of the second central plane. Suspension systems, kits and methods are also included.

The present invention is concerned with a long article management conduit with a split part extending in a longitudinal direction. The conduit includes a plurality of hoops, each having first and second ends so as to have a discontinuous portion at the split part, and arranged side by side with a spacing therebetween in the longitudinal direction.

One embodiment provides a method and apparatus for suspending air conditioning duct works from a support structure comprising unistrut type support beams which apparatus includes a plurality of support brackets arranged and configured for being slidably interlockable with the interior of the unistrut beam members. The support brackets can be slid inside the interior of the support beam until adjacent a support beam which support beam can be connected to the support bracket. In like manner additional support brackets can be inserted into the interior of the support beam members to be adjustably located next to their respective support rod. In such manner multiple support rods can be used to support a frame member even where the support rods are not symmetrically located along the length of the support beam as the support bracket can be slid/moved inside the support beam until lining up with its respective support rod. Additionally, the entire support framework can be moved relative to the plurality of support rods by sliding the framework relative to the support brackets. In such manner the location of the supporting frame member can be changed without moving the support rods.

A pre-assembled pipe coupling includes a gasket, a housing surrounding the gasket, and a fastener. The housing has three segments sequentially coupled to each other to define an insertion boundary. A bridge segment has a first mount extending lateral from the wall and having a plurality of first lateral walls defining a first aperture and a second mount having a plurality of second lateral walls defining a second aperture. A first clamp segment has a first hook disposed in the first aperture. A second clamp segment has a second hook disposed in the second aperture. The fastener is disposed through the first fastener aperture and the second fastener aperture. The fastener has an adjusted length at which the first clamp segment grips the gasket, and the second clamp segment grips the gasket to locate the first sealing lip and the second sealing lip within the insertion boundary.

A clamp is provided for mounting to a cable. The clamp has attachment means for connecting to a pipeline. Further, the clamp has plural clamp segments each with a curved section and tension devices connecting the clamp segments to each other to form a cylindrically shaped attachment area for accommodation of the cable in contact with the curved sections.

A non-welded type branch piping reinforcement apparatus capable of preventing damage to a branch pipe system by increasing the strength of the branch pipe system by covering and protecting the branch pipe system connected to a header pipe, by a joint clamp, a connection pipe clamp, and a valve clamp includes: a joint clamp arranged to cover the branch pipe joint and the connection pipe and having an arc-shaped cross section; a connection pipe clamp arranged to cover the connection pipe and having an arc-shaped cross section; and a valve clamp arranged to cover the connection pipe and the valve and having an arc-shaped cross section, wherein one end of the connection pipe clamp is connected to the joint clamp and the other end of the connection pipe clamp is connected to the valve clamp.
