A support apparatus includes: a protective frame connected body to hold a plurality of protection targets flexibly, each protection target being a flexible cable or pipe having one end connected to a fixed-side member and the other end connected to a movable-side member that moves relative to the fixed-side member, the protective frame connected body having a bending portion bent in a middle, an upper side and a lower side of the protective frame connected body overlapped vertically; a lower supporter to support the lower side of the protective frame connected body; and a plurality of upper supporters, each of the plurality of upper supporters supporting the upper side of the protective frame connected body at a predetermined position of the protective frame connected body and being moved by movement of the movable-side member to pass the bending portion without being in contact with the bending portion.

A hose holder system includes a rigid holder having a substantially vertical section and a substantially horizontal section. A flexible sling movably couples with the substantially horizontal section and includes a first flap and a second flap. A hose couples with the rigid holder through the sling, the hose coupled between the first flap and second flap, the sling supporting a portion of the hose in a position substantially parallel with the substantially horizontal section of the rigid holder. A swiveling base is coupled with the rigid holder and includes an opening therethrough through which the hose passes substantially perpendicularly. In implementations the hose holder system is configured to allow the hose to contact no rigid element of the hose holder system between the opening and a dispenser during use. The hose may enter the sling at an about 90 degree angle and exit at an about 30-35 degree angle.

The present disclosure relates to a tension or hanging mount for engineering services, including but not limited to components of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. In one aspect, the tension mount comprises at least a base portion and a mount portion which depends from the base portion by hanging, wherein each of the base portion and the mount portion comprise a substantially rigid, non-flammable structural support element, and wherein at least one of these substantially rigid, non-flammable structural support elements is at least partially covered in a cushioning material in regions at or near to where the base portion and the mount portion are in contact with each other, and wherein in use, the mount portion is not dropped by the base portion even if the cushioning materials are consumed by a fire.

A multi-diameter clipping mechanism includes an adhesive member, a connecting member, a first and a second clipping members, and an engaging member. The connecting member is connected to the adhesive member. The first clipping member has a guiding trough and a resilient arm. The second clipping member and the engaging member are assembled to the first clipping member. The second clipping member has an engaging tongue and unidirectionally inclined teeth. The engaging member has an engaging salient and a press portion at two ends thereof. When the second clipping member enters the guiding trough, one of the teeth engages with the engaging salient. When the press portion is pressed against the resilient arm by an external force, the engaging member pivots against the first clipping member to disengage the engaging salient from the tooth, thereby making the second clipping member leave the guiding trough.

A bendable joint includes a first articulation pipe, a second articulation pipe, and a lock. The first articulation pipe includes a first articulation portion at one end. The second articulation pipe includes a second articulation portion at one end. The first articulation portion is articulated with the second articulation portion so that the first articulation pipe is rotatable relative to the second articulation pipe. The lock is on the first articulation pipe and is configured to lock and adjust relative positions of the first articulation pipe and the second articulation pipe.
