PLASTIC CLIP, PRE-ASSEMBLED FLUID LINE ARRANGEMENT AND ATTACHMENT METHOD
A plastic clip for attaching a longitudinal element, particularly a fluid line, to a perforated sheet part, particularly a body part of a vehicle. The plastic clip comprises a base portion and a lid portion connectable or hingedly connected to the base portion so as to establish an open configuration or a closed configuration. The base portion has a semi-circular base receptacle for the longitudinal element. The lid portion has a semi-circular lid receptacle for the longitudinal element. The base receptacle and the lid receptacle, in the closed configuration, together form a circular holding portion for the longitudinal element. At least one of the base receptacle and the lid receptacle is provided with a jacket portion which is made from a material that is softer than the material of the respective receptacle. The base portion comprises a support portion from which projects a plastic rivet protrusion adapted to be inserted into a hole of the perforated sheet part.
Grommet and method of use thereof
A grommet is at least partially comprised of a clear, rigid material is disclosed. The body of the grommet tapers from a proximal end to a distal end, allowing the grommet to be guided into a hole in a post of a handrail system. The interior of the body includes an longitudinal cannulation open to the exterior of the grommet via a helical cut in the surface, allowing for a wire rope to pass through. The grommet can be installed whether or not a wire rope has previously been passed through a railing post.
ADJUSTABLE P-CLAMP
A P-clamp assembly and method to secure elongate items, such as wires, cables and the like into bundles and to further secure the bundles a support structure. The assembly includes an integrally formed clamp member and a mount element. The clamp member includes a pair of substantially symmetrical, locking arcuate members that includes a hinge mechanism.
Fixing Member-Attached Resin Pipe Manufacturing Method, Fixing Member-Attached Resin Pipe Manufacturing Device, and Fixing Member-Attached Resin Pipe
A fixing member-attached resin pipe manufacturing method including a process of placing a part of a resin pipe inside a mold for molding a fixing member, and a process of causing a molten resin to flow into the mold so as to mold the fixing member in a state in which the resin pipe is pressurized from an inside of the resin pipe by supplying a fluid into the resin pipe.
Cable clips
A cable clip including a base member along a bottom of the cable clip and a pair of c-shaped holding members for receiving a cable. Each of the c-shaped holding members includes a circumferentially-extending raised rib on an inner surface thereof. The raised ribs are configured to engage corresponding grooves of a cable or duct to prevent relative sliding movement between the clip and the cable or duct in a longitudinal direction of the cable or duct.
Cable holding element and method
A cable holding element configured for attachment to either an angled frame having internal corners, or external corners or both. The cable holding element includes a base body and rows of latching projections that project from the base body to define at least one channel area for holding cable. The latching projections each have a first section and a second section. The first section and the second section form an acute angle towards the base body. A first row of latching projections opposes a second row of latching projections. The opposing latching projections cooperate to interlock without contact, in a comb-like manner to hold cable within the cable holding element and to form guiding structure that guides cable into and out from the channel area. In an alternate embodiment, the cable holding element has a flat base body capable of attachment to a planar surface.
CORD RESTRAINT FOR ELECTRICAL CORDS
A device and method for holding an electrical cord, such as a cellular phone charging cord, so that the electrical cord is easily restrained, located and retrieved. The device may be constructed of a flexible body that may be in any desirable shape. The body is provided with a slit that extends some distance, and in some embodiments, approximately halfway through the body. An electrical cord can be inserted through the slit. At the center of the body, the slit is enlarged to form a channel for receiving the cord. With the cord thus secured within the channel, the body makes the cord easier to find and less likely to slip or fall off of a surface where the cord is to be placed.
Adjustable fastening support for mounting a tubular item on an outer member
A fastening support includes a generally «C»-shaped annular body having two free ends which can be spaced apart to position the annular body around the item and a tab for fastening to the mounting point of an outer member. Furthermore, in accordance with the invention, the annular body includes, on an inner face, a plurality of retaining notches capable of cooperating with the tubular item such that the annular body is adapted to perform an incremental rotation from one notch to the other under the effect of a mechanical bias in rotation, between first and second angular positions for temporary immobilization in rotation by the retaining notches.
Cord restraint for electrical cords
A device for holding an electrical cord, such as a cellular phone charging cord, so that the electrical cord is easily restrained, located and retrieved. The device may be constructed of a flexible body that may be in any desirable shape. The body is provided with a slit that extends some distance, and in some embodiments, approximately halfway through the body. An electrical cord can be inserted through the slit. At the center of the body, the slit is enlarged to form a channel for receiving the cord. With the cord thus secured within the channel, the body makes the cord easier to find and less likely to slip or fall off of a surface where the cord is to be placed.
MOLDING TO CONTROL HOSE ROUTING AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS THEREOF
A one-piece exterior molding for controlling routing of an underlying hose can comprise a plurality of rings that extend in spaced relationship in a length direction of the exterior molding, and at least two spannings that run in the length direction of the exterior molding from a first end portion of the exterior molding to a second end portion of the exterior molding opposite the first end portion. The at least two spannings can be spaced from each other radially, according to different radii extending from a central axis of the exterior molding. The exterior molding is configured to control routing of the underlying hose according to straight and/or one or more curves based on configuration of the plurality of rings and the at least two spannings.
