Clamp assembly and method for securing a clamp assembly to a strut
A clamp assembly for securing a conduit to a strut, the clamp assembly includes a pair of brackets, each bracket having a head section and a tail section. The respective tail sections of the pair of brackets being configured to be received within the strut and the pair of brackets having respective apertures formed in the respective head sections thereof. A bolt has a shank that is configured to be received within the respective apertures of the pair of brackets. A nut has a bore therein, the bore is configured to receive the shank of the bolt. Each of the respective apertures includes a pair of opposite, rounded surfaces spaced from each other and connected by a pair of opposite, elongated surfaces.
Pipe vibration-proof channel
Disclosed is a pipe vibration-proof channel capable of preventing vibration generated in a pipe from being transferred to the outside. Here, since a vertical channel connected to a horizontal channel on which the pipe is disposed is disposed to be separated from a structural section steel member, it is possible to prevent the vibration generated in the pipe from being transferred to the structural section steel member. Also, since a vibration-proof unit capable of absorbing the vibration of the pipe is disposed on a pipe fixing portion configured to fix a vibration-proof bracket and the pipe, it is possible to prevent the vibration of the pipe from being transferred to the vertical channel.
CURVATURE ADJUSTABLE MAGNETIC STRUT
The present application is directed to a curvature adjustable magnetic strut for securing pipe, conduit and tubing to a curved structure for storing liquids and gasses, such as a fuel tank. More particularly, several variants of the curvature adjustable magnetic strut is disclosed which enables varying curved or flat surfaces to be accommodated in securing pipe, conduit and tubing to a cylindrical tank, whether that tank be in the vertical or the horizontal position. The curvature adjustable magnetic strut comprises a strut affixed to a base plate having three or more magnets attached. In operation, the base plate can be curvature adjusted using one or more adjustment screws. In related embodiments, varying length struts with varying length single and double hinged bracket assemblies thereon are secured to both securing strut plates and magnet base plates having two or more magnets are used to adjust for varying tank curvature.
ROOFTOP PIPE SUPPORT
A support includes a base and a support structure secured to the base. The support structure is adapted to support a plurality of horizontally extending elongated items. A retainer may be positioned over the elongated items to thereby prevent removal of the elongated items from the support structure. The retainer may be movable to an open position to permit removal of the elongated items.
Structural fastener
A strut receiver assembly provides springing attachment to a slotted structural member such as a strut. The strut receiver includes a bottom portion having a plurality of slots, a first side connected to the bottom portion and a second side connected to the bottom portion, thereby forming a U-shaped structure with the first and second sides. The plurality of first engagement springs each have an outward facing wing on the first side operable for springing attachment to a first rim on the slotted structural member. The plurality of second engagement springs each have an outward facing wing on the second side operable for springing attachment to a second rim on the slotted structural member. A band has a bottom portion, a first side having a first arm for engaging a first receiver slot and a second side having a second arm for engaging a second receiver slot.
IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO CONNECTING DEVICES
A connecting device (10) for connecting an article to a carrier (14) is disclosed. The connecting device comprises a securing arrangement (12) for securing the connecting device to the article, and an attaching arrangement (26) for attaching the connecting device to the carrier. The attaching arrangement comprises a first projecting formation (28) for engaging the carrier, and a second projecting formation (32) for insertion through the carrier. When the second projecting formation is inserted through the carrier, a portion of the carrier can be received between the first and second projecting formations, thereby attaching the connecting device to the carrier.
HOLDER FOR TUBE CONNECTOR AND HOLDING STRUCTURE
The present disclosure provides a holder for holding a tube connector for an in-vehicle component. The holder includes a first arm that has a first engaging portion, a second arm that has a second engaging portion, and a fastener. A proximal portion of the first arm is connected to a proximal portion of the second arm at a connection point. The first arm and the second arm are configured to be flexible toward each other by flexing about the connection point. The first engaging portion and the second engaging portion engage with the tube connector by clamping the tube connector therebetween. The fastener fixes the proximal portion of the first arm and the proximal portion of the second arm to a base while biasing the first arm and the second arm toward each other.
PIPE CLIPS AND BRACKETS THEREFOR
A bracket of a unitary construction and being of a substantial U-shape having a first elongate section and opposed extension sections extending from opposed free ends of said elongate section, and at an angle to the plane of said elongate section, the arrangement including a slot which extends across at least part of said elongate section and at least part of one of said extension sections.
SNAP-IN DUCT SUPPORT SADDLE
Method and apparatus for securing a duct to a bracket or hanger using a duct saddle. The duct saddle includes a body that includes a first side and a second opposing side. The body includes a duct seating surface on the a first side. The duct saddle also includes a plurality of retention clips extending from the body. The retention clips include respective tabs extending over the second side of the body and spaced apart from the second side of the body. The tabs include respective retention surfaces facing the second side of the body. The duct saddle also includes retention bodies extending from the respective retention surfaces toward the second side of the body. The above-described duct saddles can be installed on brackets without the use of fasteners, such as bolts and nuts.
TENSION MOUNT IMPROVEMENTS
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.
