Abstract: A bracket for mounting a first component to a second component, the bracket comprising at least one mounting boss defining a through-hole having an opening axis in axial direction for receiving a fixing used to attach the bracket to one of the first and second components; wherein the mounting boss comprises a fixing support face around the through-hole on a surface of the bracket, the fixing support face configured to bear a head of the fixing; the mounting boss is configured to resist compressive forces exerted on the bracket by the head of the fixing; and the mounting boss comprises a cavity in a space projected from the fixing support face in the axial direction of the through-hole.

Abstract: A gimbal for connecting pipes having a core portion and at least one joint shield portion that surrounds the core portion. The core portion, which has a core portion internal surface and a core portion external surface, has at least two pipe engaging portions that are separated by at least one flexible portion, which has a flexible portion internal surface and a flexible portion external surface, and a plurality of joint cover portions. Each joint cover portion extends from the core portion external surface of the core portion to provide a protective cover for the flexible portion external surface of at least one flexible portion of the core portion and is pivotably connected to a least one joint shield portion. The shield portion is configured to provide a protective shield for at least one flexible portion of the core portion.
