Abstract: There is disclosed a method of clamping a plurality of pipes such as conduit tubes, cables, water pipes or the like to a pipe clamping face of a clamp base secured to a wall surface, a ceiling surface or the like in such a manner that the pipes are clamped to the pipe clamping face with a predetermined space therebetween in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the pipe clamping face. In this method, one of the pipes located in the lowest layer or predetermined ones of the pipes including the lowest-layer pipe and spaced apart from each other with a spacer device interposed therebetween is/are clamped to the pipe clamping face of the clamp base by using a first clamper. Then, the other pipe is clamped to the pipe clamping face of the clamp base by using a second clamper with the spacer device being interposed between the other pipe and the highest-layer one of the pipe or pipes clamped by the first clamper.

At least one pair of bottom arms creates legs for supporting the center beam. At least a further pair of top arms may be engaged to the center beam to allow engagement of a sheet larger than can be accommodated by the center beam to the apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting overload forces through the structure of an automative seat track assembly, and for making such a seat track assembly provides slidably interlinked seat track profiles having enhanced bending and therefore separation resistance by virtue of an integral formed rib section which incorporates material into the section which is nominally provided from a reduced thickness portion of the profile which has been rolled to achieve material transfer, and which is subjected mainly to tension (as opposed to bending) forces during use. The resultant seat track assembly is stronger and lighter in use than conventional seat track assemblies.

Abstract: The apparatus is for engaging a generally cylindrical borehole, and includes first and second chock portions, the first chock portion being generally spherical, the second being a trough-shaped wedge. The wedge-shaped second chock portion has a thinner end and a thicker end, and first and second primary surfaces. The first primary surface is cylindrically convex and dimensioned to seat flush against the wall of the borehole. The second primary surface is shaped as a concave, inclined trough dimensioned to permit the spherical first chock portion to slide freely therewithin. A primary tether affixed to the first chock portion is used to position the apparatus in the borehole, and includes a loop from which a user's body weight or gear may be suspended. A chock control cable operable with a finger pull bar is affixed to and operable to move the second chock portion in the borehole, lateral to the first chock portion. Sheaths protect and separate the primary tether and the chock control cable from one another.

Abstract: A stand for a device, which is to be movably arranged, has a first stand part and a second stand part, which is movable relative to the first stand part, and which includes a pivot arm, pivotable around a pivot axis (A2) and jointed to the first stand part. An energy storage device is provided, which exerts at a fixed point of action of the pivot arm a force directed to an abutment point of the energy storage device on the first stand part. The pivot axis (A2) and the abutment point define a vertical plane, the abutment point being spatially fixed relative to the first stand part during a pivoting of the pivot arm. A cord parallelogram coupling the motion of a first stand arm and a second stand arm includes a closed cord length running around two deflecting rollers, and has a rod section between the deflecting rollers. A linear slide and pivot unit is arranged between a mounting arm and the movably arranged device and makes possible displacements of the center of gravity of the movably arranged device.
