COLLAR ASSEMBLY FOR FIXING A TUBULAR ARTICLE ONTO AN EXTERNAL SUPPORT
A cylindrical cavity for receiving the tubular article and a metal casing body delimiting a seat substantially inside which the insert is wrapped around the article, the insert having an external projection which extends radially towards the exterior of the insert and is configured to cooperate with a corresponding orifice formed in the seat of the metal body so as to position the insert inside the body, the projection comprising a base attached to the insert and a head provided at the periphery of the head with a protruding clipping edge configured to hold the insert inside the metal casing body. The insert has, at the base of the projection, a through hole extending in line with the clipping edge.
SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR HVAC SYSTEM
A support assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a bracket comprising a base and an arm extending from the base. The arm includes a flange having a plurality of connectors configured to facilitate coupling to a clamp at each of a plurality of positions along the arm. The arm is configured to engage with and support a conduit of the HVAC system via the clamp.
SEAT RAIL MOUNTING MEMBER
An aircraft assembly with first and second seat rails for interlocking with an aircraft seat, and a systems component mounting member interlocked with those seat rails. The mounting member has a first anchor member interlocked with the first seat rail and a second anchor member interlocked with the second seat rail. The assembly includes an aircraft systems component mounted on the mounting member. Existing seat rails or tracks of the aircraft can be used for attachment of support brackets for aircraft systems components. A novel way of using existing seat rails to provide anchorage points for systems brackets for systems components is disclosed.
Anti-buckling mechanisms for catheters
A device is provided for preventing buckling of a flexible elongate member during insertion of the flexible elongate member. The device includes a support frame comprising a first end, a second end, and multiple pairs of support members. The support frame is configured to reversibly move from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration when the first and second ends are moved away from each other. The device also includes multiple open channels coupled to the multiple pairs of support members of the support frame. The multiple open channels are configured to allow the flexible elongate member to be top loaded into the multiple open channels. Also, the multiple open channels are maintained in an axial alignment as the support frame is moved between the expanded and collapsed configurations.
Magnetic tubing holder
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a holder for medical tubing. Specific embodiments find particular use in managing reagent replacement tubes which are often used in connection with various types of types of laboratory equipment. In a specific example, one or more magnets are associated with the reagent tubing. The one or more magnets are used to secure the reagent tubing to a portion of the equipment stand or base, the drawer, or any other magnetically responsive surface.
Multifunctional clamping device
The present invention includes a clamping device (1) for connecting clamping parts (K), wherein, by movement of a single tensioning element (4), both at least one clamping section (3) can be rotated relative to a connecting joint (2), or two clamping sections (3) can be rotated relative to one another, and, by clamping at least one clamping jaw (5), the clamping parts (K) can be clamped in the at least one clamping section (3). Thus, by moving a single tensioning element (4), both clamping and fixing and releasing rotation of the at least one clamping section (3) is possible. This clamping device (1) is easy to handle, highly variable, and also takes into account the regulations of hygienic design, since no gaps, cavities or threads are exposed here in which dirt could accumulate.
Deadend termination clamp and collet
A dead-end termination clamp including a cast body, a clamping end, and a connection end. The dead-end clamp may be scaled to support various size wires or cables. The dead-end clamp may be able to provide a support strength less than, equal to, or exceeding the breaking strength of a supported cable. A collet with a length, two ends, a central cavity and at least one helical slot running along the length of the collet. The at least one helical slot may have a varying width or pitch along the length. The at least one helical slot may terminate before reaching one or both ends. The collet may have one helical slots which runs the entire length of the collet. The collet may be substantially cylindrical or another shape. The center cavity may be substantially cylindrical or another shape.
Marine pipelaying and method for abandonment of a pipeline
A method is provided for installing a pipeline on the seabed from a marine pipelaying vessel, including initiation, pipelaying, and abandonment of the pipeline. An embodiment of the abandonment of the pipeline includes halting pipelaying and engaging a hang-off clamp with the pipeline at a position below one or more tensioners, transferring the weight onto the hang-off clamp and holding the seagoing pipeline in the firing line, severing the pipeline, connecting the initiation cable to the lower end of the pipeline held by the one or more tensioners, transferring pipeline tension onto the initiation cable, releasing the one or more tensioners, so that a section of the pipeline is held in the firing line between the pipeline diverter and the initiation cable, vacating the firing line by at least displacing both the pipeline diverter and the initiation cable sheave and thereby displacing said section of the pipeline from the firing line, arranging the A&R cable in the firing line, connecting the A&R cable to the upper end of the seagoing pipeline held in the firing line, releasing the hang-off clamp, and operating the A&R winch and thereby lowering the pipeline onto the seabed.
Fixing bracket of sprinkler
The present invention provides a fixing bracket of a sprinkler for safely fixing and easily mounting and separating a reducer of a sprinkler. The fixing bracket has a body having holes for mounting the reducer, and a pressing lever pressing the bar to bring the bar in contact with the reducer in a space inside the body, in which the body has a pair of walls facing each other and having the holes, respectively, and a bridge connecting the walls, and the pressing lever is turned around a hinge shaft at a first side of the body and presses the bar through an opening formed through the bridge when being turned.
Protection structure of sampling tube of tank truck
A protection structure of a sampling tube of a tank truck is provided. A positioning and protecting base is provided around an outer circumference of the sampling tube. The sampling tube includes a sampling output port for connection with a sampling output hose. The positioning and protecting base includes a through hole. The sampling output port extends through the through hole to partly project outside of the positioning and protecting base. With such an arrangement, the stiffness and strength of the entire sampling output port are enhanced for resisting impact and hit, and readiness of connection between the sampling output port and a sampling output hose is not negatively affected to thereby improve usage performance of the sampling tube.
